Wig Care and Styling Guide for Tru2Life Heat-Friendly Fibers

Keep your Raquel Welch and Gabor Tru2Life heat friendly synthetic wigs and hair toppers looking their best with proper wig care and maintenance. Designed to mimic the look and feel of natural hair, Tru2Life fiber is lightweight, soft, and heat-friendly—giving you the freedom to curl, straighten, or blow dry your style with tools up to 350°F (180°C).

Follow these expert tips to extend the life of your wig and maintain its beautiful finish.

Before You Begin

Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb—never use a brush.
Always start from the ends and work toward the base to avoid fiber damage.
Be especially careful with lace front wigs, as the lace is delicate and can tear with excessive pulling.
Avoid sudden heat exposure (e.g., ovens) as it may melt synthetic fibers.
Do not sleep, shower, or swim while wearing a synthetic wig.

How to Wash Tru2Life Wigs

Pre-Wash / Detangling Your Wig or Topper

Gently remove tangles with a wide-tooth comb.

Washing Your Wig or Topper

Fill a basin with cool water and add 1 tbsp of HairUWear CLEANSE shampoo.
Soak wig for 3–5 minutes. Do not agitate or scrub the fibers and do not soak for more than 5 minutes. Soaking longer than 5 minutes can damage the wig or hairpiece.
Rinse thoroughly under cool water, allowing the water to run in the direction of the fibers. Gently press out water with a towel—do not wring.

Conditioning Your Wig or Topper

Lightly mist the ends with HairUWear RESTORE and comb through using a wide tooth comb.
Avoid spraying directly on hand-tied areas to prevent the hand tied knots from loosening.

Drying Your Wig or Topper

Place on a wig stand to air dry.
Hand-tied hairpieces should dry flat on a towel.
Do not use a solid mannequin head or canvas block head, as this may stretch the cap and disrupt air flow to dry the interior of the cap.

Styling Heat-Friendly Synthetic Hair

Once dry, shake and finger-style the wig for a natural look.
Use HairUWear PROTECT before applying heat.
Set heat tools to low–medium (max 350°F/180°C). We recommend styling at 270°F to 280°F.
To curl: wrap a 1" section around a curling iron, hold 10 seconds, clip to set while cooling.
To straighten: run a flat iron down a 1" section and let cool.
Once heat-styled, Tru2Life® fiber retains its shape—even after washing.
Refresh curls or waves by spritzing a 50/50 mix of RESTORE and water.

Maintenance Tips

After each use, gently finger-comb or use a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles.
Refresh your style and neutralize odors with HairUWear REFRESH spray.
Store on a wig stand or clip onto a hanger to prevent kinks.
Only finger-style wavy or curly wigs when dry to preserve the texture.
For frizz or matting: wash, condition with RESTORE, and detangle gently from ends up using a wide tooth comb.

Reviews

Love Love Love!

"I love Raquel Welch Upstage! The color is amazing (Silver Mist RL56/60). The hand tied cap is lightweight and very comfortable to wear. I have a petite average circumference measuring 21 1/4", I styled mine with a little water spray mist and a hair dryer and a round brush. It came out perfect! I'm new to silvers/whites/greys but its my favorite color now! It truly is a beautiful wig."

— Kriss R. (5/5)

Satsfactory

"the wig is great because it look so real. bad because hair is already falling out."

— Sangeeta R. (4/5)

The wig from reviews looked

"The wig from reviews looked great but it was probably from 2018 or so. It didn’t have enough stretch it felt petite for my size. The color was blotchy ( shaded biscuit) I was hoping it would fit. Maybe in 2021 the colors are better and the sizing. I still have hope"

— Veronica M. (2/5)

too small

"I ordered an average, it is marked Average. the circumference is small on this upstage. I have the handtied Editors Pick and it fits nice, but upstage is so tight. I tried wearinring her but she slides up on me. She would be nice except for the fit."

— Lisa L. (2/5)

My second Upstage. . . . (my first was 3/2023)

"I absolutely LOVED my first Upstage by Raquel Welch. It was my first wig. Since then I have I have purchased many wigs by Wig Studio 1. But Upstage has always been my favorite. . . the fiber, the lace, the cut the highlights. So I knew I was taking a chance purchasing another. Yes, I read many reviews stating that Upstage had changed. Many consumers were disappointed, but I knew Wig Studio 1 policy and felt like if I didn't like it, they would accept a return. So I went ahead and kept, this "new" Upstage purchased in February 2025. And although it is still a beautiful wig, it really is different. I kind of like BIG hair and this one is "floppy", not as thick as my first. The cut seems to be more shaggy, with layers that don't lay as well in a "bob" as my first tone. Of course the color is a little different but I expected that. My first Upstage had a lift at the part and this falls right in my face. Because I follow several wonderful wig experts, I knew what to do to help that along. But it definitely needed much more help and I have had to actually keep it back with a clip even after steaming, heat brush and wig wax. This was not the case with my first one. I am putting up pictures of my first Upstage purchased 2 years ago that I wore to my daughter's wedding last May and the one I recently purchased where it is clipped back. . . still a lovely piece but different."

— Jana B. (4/5)

Beautiful

"Absolutely Beautiful it looks stunning on the color is very pretty. This wig cap fits perfect feels very light when wearing on head. I will definitely be buying more of this style in different colors"

THE DEATH OF UPSTAGE

"I have been wearing Upstage for several years and it has always been beautiful but, it has become a hot mess! This is my 3rd attempt and the hair is straight and falls forward and the fibers don’t feel as soft and natural as before. I tried to work with one and it’s so awful I won’t leave the house wearing it. The other two have been returned. What would Raquel say about her product becoming so inferior?"

— Debby (1/5)

UPSTAGE APPEARS TO HAVE DIED

"I have worn Upstage for several years & have loved it! My last three purchases have been a disaster. One I kept and tried to work with it but it’s so bad I won’t wear it out of the house. The other two I’ve returned, not all from WigStudio One I have to say, but who’s ever manufacturing them now it just is a hot mess it’s just straight hair that falls into your face. There’s nothing you can do about it and it’s long, stringy with no body and very wiggy looking. PLEASE BRING BACK THE REAL UPSTAGE!"

— Debby (1/5)

Q&A

Hi there, can you tell me if Upstage RL 14/22 has dark roots? How can I tell if a wig has dark roots by looking at the color code/number? Thank you: Hi Wendi - Thank you for your inquiry. Often manufacturers will add the color of the root in the color code. If not, most often it is found in the color description. In the color RL14/22SS this color is a shaded wheat/dark blond evenly blended with platinum blonde with dark roots. If you need further assistance on colors, please reach out to us at support@wigstudio1.com. I hope this helps. Have a great day! -Racquel
