Play it Straight by Raquel Welch: A Playful Tapered Shag

Play it Straight is a playful, tapered shag from the Raquel Welch Signature Collection. It is made with Kanekalon Vibralite® synthetic fiber and built on a Memory Cap® II with a lace front and a monofilament part, in an average cap size.

Choppy layers give the look of longer hair without the length. The Sheer Indulgence lace front and monofilament part let you wear it off the face with a natural-looking part. The style is set into the fiber, so it keeps its shape with little effort and returns after washing. Velvet-lined ear tabs and nape add comfort.

Before You Begin

  • Take special care with lace fronts and hairpieces. The lace is delicate, so never tug or pull on it.
  • Sudden bursts of heat, like opening an oven door or dishwasher, will damage synthetic fiber.
  • Do not sleep, shower or swim in your wig.
  • On longer styles, comb the nape often with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
  • Synthetic fiber cannot be colored.

How to Detangle

  • Before washing, gently detangle with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Never use a brush.
  • Start at the ends and work slowly toward the base. Do not overstretch or pull the fiber.

How to Wash

  1. Fill a basin with cool water and add 1 tablespoon of HairUWear CLEANSE shampoo. Hot water will damage the fiber.
  2. Soak the wig for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not scrunch, scrub or agitate it. Soaking longer than 5 minutes can damage the wig.
  3. Rinse under cool running water until the water runs clear.
  4. Gently press out excess water with a clean, colorfast towel. Never twist or wring.

How to Condition

  • Lightly mist with HairUWear RESTORE and comb through with a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends.
  • Do not spray RESTORE directly on hand-tied areas. It can loosen the knots and cause shedding.

How to Dry

  • Place the damp wig on a wig stand and let it dry completely.
  • Clip hairpieces to a hanger. Lay hand-tied hairpieces flat on a colorfast towel.
  • Do not dry on a solid mannequin or canvas block head, which can overstretch the cap.

How to Style

  • Once dry, shake the wig to release the fiber and finger style it.
  • Never use heat styling tools on standard synthetic fiber. Blow dryers, curling irons, flat irons and hot rollers will damage it.
  • For extra hold, use a styling spray made for synthetic fiber.
  • Refresh waves and curls with a spritz of half water, half RESTORE while you finger style.

Everyday Care and Storage

  • Comb through with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb after each wear.
  • Use HairUWear REFRESH neutralizing spray to extend the time between washes.
  • Store on a wig stand, or clip hairpieces to a hanger, to prevent kinks and crimps.
  • Style wavy and curly wigs only when dry, using your fingers.

FAQ

Can I use a curling iron on a Raquel Welch synthetic wig?

No. Standard synthetic fiber can't be heat styled. Only Tru2Life heat-friendly and human hair Raquel Welch wigs can be styled with heat.

How long should I soak a Raquel Welch synthetic wig?

Soak it for 3 to 5 minutes in cool water with 1 tablespoon of HairUWear CLEANSE. Soaking longer than 5 minutes can damage the wig.

How do I tell if my Raquel Welch wig is synthetic or Tru2Life?

Check the Hair type on the product page. Standard synthetic styles use Kanekalon Vibralite fiber; Tru2Life styles are heat friendly.

Reviews

I ordered Play it Straight

"I ordered Play it Straight for my first RW wig. Wanted a synthetic one for easier care. It doesn't quite look like the Raquel photo which seems longer and straighter than mine. SS14/24 (Sparkling Champagne) is a lovely color--very warm and pretty. I was disappointed it has permatease--must have missed that while reading reviews/videos."

— Sue C. (4/5)

Pamie

"Too short for me"

— Pamela S. (3/5)

Play It Straight SS14/88

"I found her on Clearance at Wigstudio1. com. I love her. Her fibers are regular synthetic and the density is light. If there is permatease it is not noticable. The lace front is spectacular and leaves a perfect hairline. Thank you Wigstudio1 for being such a wonderful retailer!"

— Denise B. (5/5)

Light and living i

"A new color for me with Shaded Toast, and I got compliments! The rooting makes it possible for me to go this light. Very beautiful style. I will wear her a lot."

Beautiful wig and quick shipping!

"I purchased my first RW Play it Straight and it's my first lace front mono part wig. The color is SS30/28 SS Spice. I love this wig because it is so realistic! Not too much hair, great style that's classic as well as on trend with the razor cutting in the back. I received the wig so quickly and as promised. Thank you WS1!"

— Sharon T. (5/5)

Too Much!

"I have a small head and this wig had way too much (very) shiny hair. Screamed wig!"

— Frances H. (1/5)

Another hit from Rachel Welch

"Was a little worried when first tried on but with a little “piece out cream” and dry shampoo, it’s a new favorite Out of the box she’s a little too glossy and bangs tended to hang in my eyes. I kept going back to various reviews and learned how to make it work for me"
