"Great Wig wrong color I may re-order it"
Editor’s Pick Elite by Raquel Welch takes the brand’s best-selling wavy bob to the next level with 100% hand-tied construction for ultimate comfort, realism, and styling freedom. This gently waved, tousled layered bob delivers the same beloved silhouette as the original Editor’s Pick, now with enhanced flexibility and an ultra-lightweight feel.
Soft waves and textured layers create beautiful movement throughout the style, forming a modern bob that sits just above the shoulders. The relaxed waves can be worn tousled for a casual, lived-in look or styled into fuller, softer waves for more volume and polish.
Part of the Sheer Indulgence™ collection, Editor’s Pick Elite features a temple-to-temple lace front hairline that allows for natural off-the-face styling. The monofilament top mimics the appearance of hair growing directly from the scalp while allowing flexible parting options.
The 100% hand-tied cap construction provides exceptional realism and comfort, allowing each fiber to move naturally while maintaining a lightweight, breathable fit. This premium cap design makes Editor’s Pick Elite especially comfortable for extended wear.
Crafted with Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, the hair can be styled with heat tools to refine the waves, add texture, or smooth the style for a sleeker finish.
Elegant, versatile, and beautifully natural, Editor’s Pick Elite by Raquel Welch offers the perfect balance of luxury construction and modern style. Available in Average and Large wefted caps.

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).
- 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.

Beautiful but overwhelming
"Editor’s Pick HT wig was my first wig purchase. I thought I’d read enough about wigs and viewed several YouTube videos to make an informed decision. The wig was excellent quality but has way too much hair for someone with thinning hair. I have returned it and did a phone consultation with Brandi as well as finding and reviewing YouTube videos on low density products. Now awaiting 2 new wigs which hopefully will be more in line with my aspirations. I appreciate the WS1 support."

Beautiful!
"I absolutely love my purchase from Wig Studio. I ordered the Raquel Welch Editor's Pick Elite and I couldn't have hoped for more. The color is perfect. The heat friendly fiber is light and easy to take care of."
It’s to thick… fibers are stiff
"Beautiful wig but the wig is to thick and fibers are “stiff”. . cap construction was beautiful"
Way to thick!
"I thought this wig looked adorable based on the many reviews I watched. They all said it was low density, less than the original Editor’s Pick. When I opened the box I thought it looked a little thick and when I tried it on, it did seem thick, but since you can’t do any shaking or styling of it if you want to return it, I decided, based on what I had read and seen, that it would be okay once I styled it. Not to be. This wig is soooo thick. My daughters agree. It is impossible to do anything with it. There is such a massive amount of hair on top, that you can’t really even part it. I won’t be able to wear it. Also, the bangs stick straight out. I suppose you could fix that with heat, I don’t know. Such a shame. I really hate writing a negative review, but I don’t believe this is a low density wig."
Beautiful and natural
"I know why this is one of the best selling wigs there is. Comfortable cap, beautiful flowing fibers, perfect color for me in Shaded Biscuit."
Cousin It
"I have a petite head which it actually fit perfect, however for me it is way too much hair, especially heavy in front. I look like cousin it."
BAD CHOICE
"THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH HAIR FOR MY FACE. I SHOULD HAVE RETURNED THIS WIG AS I WILL NEVER WEAR IT. MY FAULT."
