Brave the Wave by Raquel Welch

I was on the fence for so long about buying this unit because of reviews I read about it having too much hair. When I saw it on the closeout site, I just said to myself, "I'm getting her and if she doesn't suit me, I'll sell her." Well, she suits me alright!

My Brave The Wave is not voluminous! Apart from just running my fingers through her, she's ready to go right out of the box. It's just the right amount of hair and the pattern of mine is similar to that of Violet. In fact, I was considering buying Violet, but when I received this, I scratched her off my list. (My list changes on a daily basis!)

If I had to come up with one small critique, it would be the rooting. I'm not in love with the color they used, but I don't absolutely hate it either. Overall, in my opinion, she still merits 5 stars.

I'm a fan of platinum and silvery rooted colors as well as my Palm Springs Blonde and Shaded Biscuit, so this unit is a great addition to my gaggle of wigs. I don't hide the fact that I wear wigs so I like matching my hair to my outfit for work everyday. This lovely lady matches everything in my wardrobe!

For me, she's a winner!

Thanks CysterWigs!

I purchased Brave the Wave in my favorite RW color -- SS10/16 shaded caramel. The color is multi-dimensional-- from dark brown, to caramel to pale blonde, which is perfect for me as I am not ready for anything deliberately gray. This color hints at a little salt and pepper, giving the look of excellent salon highlights.

The curl does require a bit of bravery to pull off. I purchased this wig for a formal event, intending to pin it up with small butterfly clips to tame the volume. I also trimmed a bang, which looks wispy and natural. Pulling a few tendrils out to frame my face gives me the elegant effect I was going for.

I'm only purchasing grey because I'm going to begin to transition to my natural grey color. I purchased two of these wigs when there was a great sale. The color I got was Shaded Sugar Licorice...beautiful color and I LOVE the way it looks on me! I also really appreciate that it is not one of RW's heat tolerant fiber (I am not a fan of that fiber), and the cap is very comfortable (I'm a 23 inch circumference) I'm so glad I purchased them! Thanks, Cysterwigs for the awesome sale!!
