Celebrating the Life of Raquel Welch, an Icon Who Changed the Alternative Hair Industry Forever
FEBRUARY 15, 2023
Remembering the Trailblazer
It is with a heavy heart that we learn of the passing of Raquel Welch, an iconic actress and alternative hair industry pioneer who will be greatly missed. Raquel Welch was a trailblazer in many ways, but she was especially influential in the world of wigs. Working together with her over the last two decades has been an amazing journey for our team, at wigs.com, making it that much more emotional now she's gone. We always admired her relentlessness in her pursuit of excellence with each style she came out with.
Raquel had many favorite styles, but Goddess was at the top of her list!
An Inspiration to All Women
The impact Raquel left behind will never be forgotten. She served as an inspiration to women from all walks of life and opened up endless possibilities when it came to styling our tresses. She made us realize that no matter what hairstyle we decided to go with—whether it be natural curls or a synthetic wig—we can still look beautiful while embracing ourselves wholeheartedly! We may not all have access to Hollywood-level glamor like Raquel did, but we can use her legacy as motivation to find our own unique beauty routine that makes us feel our best every single day!
Always Remembered
Raquel Welch was an icon who changed the way we think about alternative hair solutions forever by normalizing it and making beautiful hair accessible for all. We are deeply saddened by her passing but thankful for all she has done for our alternative hair community during her lifetime. Rest in peace Raquel Welch--you will always be remembered fondly!

I was extremely saddened to hear of this gorgeous lady’s passing, and happy to see the acknowledgment of her pioneering spirit in the world of alternative hair here on wigs.com. Raquel may be gone, but she will always live on. <3

How do I order the the wig band that keeps the wig from moving that you advertise?
An awesome and inspirational woman who modelled verve and inner beauty. Her radiance really comes through modelling every one of those gorgeous styles. I discovered Raquel wigs after permanent hair loss from cancer treatment. The quality and range of styles and colors helped me to feel confident about my appearance. My first Raquel style (18 years ago) was Fling in a copper color—a daring change that suited my new phase of life.
Such an icon and an inspiration to so many women (and men) she helped so many rebuild their confidence and show their beauty! She will be missed!
