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
Choosing the right Raquel Welch wig color involves more than selecting blonde, brunette, or red. The Raquel Welch color chart features dimensional blends, rooted shades, salon-inspired highlights, and tone variations designed to create natural depth and movement.
Many Raquel Welch colors include subtle lowlights and multi-tonal layering to mimic professionally colored hair. Rooted shades (often marked with “SS” for Shadow Shade) add depth at the crown, creating a softer grow-out effect and a more realistic appearance at the hairline.
Understanding Raquel Welch Color Codes
-
Base Number – Indicates the dominant shade level (light blonde, medium brown, etc.)
-
Secondary Numbers – Reflect highlight or lowlight blends
-
SS (Shadow Shade) – Denotes a rooted version with natural depth
-
Tones – Warm (golden, honey), Cool (ash, iced), or Neutral blends
This Raquel Welch color guide is designed to help you confidently choose a shade that enhances your features and complements your personal style — whether you prefer bright icy blondes, rich brunettes, warm auburns, or dimensional highlighted blends.

Raquel Welch Voltage Elit
"Very disappointed with this wig. The short fibers on top stick straight up and I couldn’t use styling products to see if they could be tamed so I returned it. Color is not as shown on the website."
Received the wrong item...
"I believe I received the wrong item. I have returned the Voltage Elite I received from Wing Studio. I have been wearing the Voltage Elite wig R14/88H for a number of years. I had ordered it from a different vendor at the time. The item I received from Wig Studio bears no resemblance to my old wig - style and color are completely different. I have subsequently ordered from the original vendor and received the exact style and colo5 I have been wearing for 4 years. I object to being charged the $30.00 restocking fee as I was sent the wrong item. Check the item I have returned and compare it to the actual Voltage Elite R14/88H."
Very cute l style!
"I really love the style and the color is perfect for me. There’s nothing at all wrong with this beautiful RW style…… however, the shorter layers around the top are just not very flattering to me, apparently. I’m still in the learning process of what looks good on me and what doesn’t. I have a few already that I love and I think look good on me, but you know you can never have too many! ha ha"
True love
"I’ve worn this for years, and loved it. first in Glazed Hazelnut, then in Glazed Auburn, I think, and finally in Silver Mist. I strayed for awhile, because the color seemed too light, but my husband really blikes this style, so I’m coming home again. Fits beautifully, impeccable hairline, super comfortable (even 16-hour days), no-fuss, and ever-ready."
Still my favorite wig, so far!
"This is my 2nd Voltage Elite wig. I have transitioned to gray, and the silver mist is a beautiful color. There are two things that bother me: for some reason, the elite wigs run smaller than the basic cap; they are not as ""flippy"" as the basic cap or the photo shown. I know that it will stretch as time goes on. It is a great every day wig for me. I get compliments all the time about my hair!"
