Big Spender by Raquel Welch: Softly Tumbled Shoulder-Length Waves

Big Spender is a shoulder-length wavy style from the Raquel Welch Signature Collection. It is made with Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber and built on a Memory Cap® III with a temple-to-temple lace front, a monofilament top, velvet-lined ear tabs and a velvet-lined extended nape, in an average cap size.

Softly tumbled waves give Big Spender body and movement without looking overdone, for a look that works day or night. The sheer lace front lets you wear the hair off the face, the monofilament top looks like natural scalp wherever you part it, and the Tru2Life fiber lets you refresh the waves or smooth them with low heat.

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.
