Winner Elite Wig by Raquel Welch – Short Hand-Tied Synthetic Wig

The Winner Elite Wig by Raquel Welch is a short hand-tied synthetic wig designed for ultra-lightweight comfort and elevated realism.

Care Instructions

Synthetic Hair Care

We Recommend Washing Your Alternative Hair Every 6-8 Wears

CLEANSE & CONDITION

  • Before washing your wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using your Wide Tooth Comb
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water, allowing the water to flow in the direction of the fibers
  • Do not submerge or soak your wig or topper
  • Gently lather the hair with a small amount of shampoo specifically formulated for synthetic hair, making sure the hair is traveling in the same direction
  • DO NOT rub hair as this may cause tangling
  • Rinse thoroughly under cool running water until water runs clear
  • Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat dry
  • Spray fibers with a conditioning spray (3-5 pumps) keeping away from base of wig or hairpiece
  • Please follow instructions for use depending on products used
  • Gently detangle hair using your Wide Tooth Comb

DRY & STYLE

  • Allow wig or hairpiece to air dry naturally by placing on a plastic or wire wig stand
  • DO NOT blow dry synthetic hair
  • For mid-length to long length styles, apply a detangling spray, (3-5 pumps) focusing on bottom half of wig or hairpiece.
  • Gently comb through using your Wide Tooth Comb
  • We recommend using your fingertips or wig comb for your desired style
  • Consider additional products to add texture and definition, using a small amount and applying using your fingertips
  • Do NOT use heat to style synthetic fiber (curling irons, flat irons or blow dryers)

TIPS

  • Be cautious when standing near a heat source (i.e., open oven, heater, etc.)
  • Excessive heat can damage the fiber
  • We recommend using a detangling spray with a wide tooth comb to detangle your piece after each wear
  • Please visit Accessories | Synthetic Hair Care at wigstudio1.com for a variety of products available for cleansing, conditioning, and styling your synthetic pieces

Reviews

Love my new wig!

"Winner Elite is just what I was looking for to emulate the bio hairstyle I had for years before my hair started thinning. I love the flexibility in how I can style it with the hand-tied cap and lace front compared to my previous wig. And the color is 56/60 is perfect!"

— Charlotte M. (5/5)

Good choice

"This wig looks very natural. My only complaint is the lace front is scratchy and doesn’t lie flat. My head measures 21 3/4” and this is just a trifle loose but wearing a grip cap helps with that. Love the color."

— Judith B. (4/5)

Not as good as my regular Winner wig

"I really wanted to love my Winner Elite wig. The hand-tied cap and lace front are the reasons why I bought it in the first place. I don’t known if there is a defect in the wig that I received, but the left side of the wig lays very flat on that side of the wig. I’ve tried everything to remedy this, but to no avail. It just doesn’t have the nice shape that my regular Winner wig has. I wish I could get excited when I reach for it on hot summer days, but, alas, I can’t. I’m afraid to try another Winner Elite for fear that I will spend money, again, on a less than satisfactory expensive wig."

— Suzanne Y. (3/5)

Not Identical Twins

"This is my second Winner Elite. I love my first which fit perfectly from out of the box, no adjusting at all. The new one not so much. The hair in at the nape is thinner I can see the adjustable band through it somewhat. If someone was standing close they might be able to see it as well. The new one is shinier and not as pouffy on top. I feel the band behind my ears which I don’t on my first Winner. I prefer to wear the hair over my ears which feels uncomfortable in my new Winner. I don’t feel the same confidence."

— Sharyn B. (3/5)

Winner Elite ss17/23

"I received the Winner Elite in ss17/23. It is a medium brown with some blonde mixed in. It's darker than I thought it would be. It is bigger in the cap than the first winner elite I bought. I may have to put some stitches in the cap to make it fit better. I am a petite/average size. It is flatter than the regular winner. But I will put product in it and work with it."

— Voncille C. (5/5)

Its a Winner!

"Beautiful color and very comfortable. Looks so real. Woman want to know where did I get my hair cut."
