Celebrating 25 Years: Brand Spotlight on Raquel Welch

We’re celebrating 25 years of innovation, beauty, and community. As part of this milestone, we’re highlighting the incredible brands that have shaped our journey. This week, we’re featuring Raquel Welch Wigs—named after the legendary actress herself and known for vibrant colors, revolutionary cap designs, and glamorous, red carpet–worthy styles. Join us as we take a look back at the brand’s legacy and why Raquel Welch remains a staple in the world of wigs.

A Short History of Raquel Welch Wigs

As one of the most iconic actresses during the 1960s and 1970s, Raquel Welch broke the mold of Hollywood’s “blonde bombshell.” While she is recognized for her acting prowess, she also left a legacy in the wig industry extending far beyond the screen. In 1998, she partnered with HairUWear wigs to produce a line of wigs reflecting her personal style. One standout innovation from their collaboration was making the lace front more accessible, thus setting a new standard in ready-to-wear wigs. Though Raquel Welch passed away in 2023, her spirit lives on through her brand. The Raquel Welch team remains dedicated to crafting wigs and toppers designed to empower wearers with confidence and grace, continuing a legacy of inspiration and elegance.

Why Do We Love Raquel Welch Wigs?

Color Diversity

Each wig comes in a wide variety of colors and tones to suit every preference. The denier, or thickness of each hair strand is unique and every color, even those that appear to be a solid tone are all created with 7-11 shades.These hand-blended colors create depth and dimension while picking up on tones within a person’s complexion for a natural look.

Unique Fiber Blend

Raquel Welch Wigs are made with three different synthetic fibers: Vibralite, Tru2Life, and Featherlite fibers. Styles made with Vibralite fiber have a realistic texture and come out of the box ready-to-wear. Tru2Life fiber offers lifelike movement and natural appearance. However, what separates this fiber from Vibralite is its heat friendly quality, meaning heat tools can be used to style the wig. The new Featherlite fiber is like the Tru2Life fiber, but it's made with a hollow core for an incredibly lightweight feel and shape retention.

Expertly Crafted Cap Design

Innovative cap designs ensure a secure, comfortable fit—from breathable basic caps to hand-tied options. The brand recently expanded the Sheer Luxury Collection with wigs crafted with the latest LuxLite Cap II - an upgrade of the prestigious LuxLite Cap. Featuring an expanded monofilament area for a more natural appearance, this cap is made with a flexible material to mold a person’s head shape while feeling incredibly lightweight. The freestyle knotting design helps eliminate any ridges or bumps from the top of the wig to the crown.

Gorgeous Wigs

Raquel Welch Wigs has the perfect look for everyone from classic and chic to bold and trendy. Each style is a work of art—crafted to turn everyday moments into something worthy of the red carpet.
