Advanced French by Raquel Welch delivers effortless texture with a chic, windswept finish. This modern short style features longer layers throughout the top and crown that blend into soft, loose lengths, creating natural movement and a relaxed, free-formed silhouette.
The textured layering adds lift and dimension, while the smooth, neck-hugging nape provides a clean, tailored finish that balances the volume on top. The result is a flattering short style that feels contemporary, lightweight, and easy to wear.
Designed with a temple-to-temple sheer lace front, Advanced French offers a natural-looking hairline that allows for styling away from the face. The Memory Cap® III base molds comfortably to the shape of the head for a secure, personalized fit, while ultra-thin adjusters and a velvet-lined extended nape enhance comfort for all-day wear.
Crafted with Tru2Life® heat-styleable synthetic fiber, this wig can be curled, smoothed, or reshaped using heat tools, giving you styling flexibility while maintaining beautiful movement and lightweight wearability.
Modern, textured, and easy to style, Advanced French by Raquel Welch is perfect for anyone seeking a polished short cut with natural volume and effortless sophistication.

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.
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.
Pre-Wash / Detangling Your Wig or Topper
Washing Your Wig or Topper
Conditioning Your Wig or Topper
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.
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).
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.
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.

"I love boy-cut styles, I've always worn short hair so they suit me. This is the first Advanced French I've bought. I need to play with this new piece to get it just right for me, but it is comfortable and the color (56/60) is great."
"I received the wig. It is nothing like the picture. Too much hair, too late to send back , not sure what to do with it now. May donate to cancer center. I have a petite head. And it so hard to find something that looks right on me. I really liked the one shown, boy cut."
"Love, Love, Love this wig! Due to hair loss, I finally talked myself into getting one. I have purchased several but have not worn them because I could not find one that looked natural on me. This one is a keeper! I was very self-conscious the first time I wore it because I didn't want to look ""fake. "" I didn't have to worry. Everyone loved it!!! I have had so many compliments on how natural it looks. Very comfortable also. I will definitely invest in more Raquel Welch wigs from now on."
"This is my second AF in SS Biscuit. As soon as I opened the box I could see that it was not the same as the one I got 2+ years ago. The color is darker and there are numerous short hairs sticking up all over the top and crown. At first I thought I would keep it and try to work with it, but after thinking about it more I decided to return it and keep looking for a replacement. I loved the original one, but the quality of this one is not the same."
