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

Pretty and comfortable

"I like this wig but I thought it would look like the advertised picture out of the box (I love the swoops). It’s taken some research and trial and error but it’s still not right for me. I’m very new to wigs. Regardless, it’s a very nice wig, comfortable and gets compliments."

— Sonya (5/5)

"Great wig, but just too big for my petite head. I found someone in need of a wig. All worked out well as it is going to a great home"

Finally - best style, density and color!

"I am so excited to have found this style, color and density! It took me a few tries, but thanks to the WS1 program, returns and credits were easy and efficient. Though my head size is more petite than average, I found the fit and style to be far superior than anticipated. Had my stylist “tweak” and results are amazing! Shaded Biscuit is perfect and would highly recommend for anyone new to wig journey. I so appreciate the video’s on website - HUGE help for online shopping. 👍. Faster shipping on RW than with previous orders - not sure why, but wonderful. The Customer Support Team sets a great example. Extremely satisfied!"

— Trudy S. (5/5)

A Happy Customer

"I'm wearing this wig today and I love the color (Iced Granita - a beautiful blended gray), style (a classic bob with a bit of curve), the comfort (I have a 22"" circumference) and the Raquel Welch qualify."

— Gretchen S. (5/5)

"Beautiful low density wig. I used curling iron on very low heat to train the sides to go back a little. Low this wig!!!"

— Mary M. (5/5)

It was nice, but the

"It was nice, but the color was not what I. Too dark. I would like to exchange it for a lighter color."

— Anna V. (3/5)

Stunning

"Portrait Mode is a very versatile style. The cap is so comfortable and fits me perfect. Shaded Cappuccino again did not disappoint. Love her!"

— Leslie W. (5/5)

Very Beautiful

"Portrait Mode is beautiful but I am a first time wig wearer and it is too much for me. The front of the wig has too much hair for someone who is not used to wigs. I loved it the first time I wore it but the heaviness began to wear on me. I am searching for a much lighter wig."

— LN (5/5)

Portrait Mode

"This is the perfect bob for me! I love the length and she fits like a glove. The Raquel Welch brand never disappoints; all I had to do was cut in a bang and she was ready for daily wear. This is one that will be in rotation with Upstage, I love it!"

— Sunny C. (5/5)

Q&A

Can you use hot rollers to style Portrait mode to redirect the hair not to fall in your face?
Hi Linda, Yes, Portrait Mode is designed with heat-friendly fibers and you can absolutely re-direct the hair using rollers or a hot air brush or steam. I hope this helps a bit. xoxo ~ Andrea
Hi. I'm interested in portrait mode in Bisquit do you have them on hand? I just went waiting for a wig at another store, and after waiting 31/2 months they still didn't have one
