Editor's Pick Elite by Raquel Welch

This Editor's Pick Elite is stunning, right out of the box. Color RL16/88 Pale Golden Honey is beautiful. Not shiny at all. The lace front is very, very well done and the hand tied cap is soooo comfortable. I think this is now my all time favorite wig. Because of the expense of the all hand tied cap, I tend to shy away from them, but I find myself now wanting another one of these Editor's Pick Elite in a similar color.

I have several Raquel Welch wigs and love her colors and caps.

Thanks to everyone at Cysterwigs for all you do to make shopping your website informative, affordable and fun!

I'm new to this wig scene, so I preface this review with that because I am clearly not an expert. I have watched countless review vids and agonized over styles, colors, and brands. Through it all, Cysterwigs has been A-mazinggg.

I received my Editor's Pick Elite by RW super fast. The only thing faster was me running Naruto-style to go try this thing on. I opened it up, and the Shaded Cappucino was a nice surprise. It's like a bronde which is trendy, right now. Anyway, I immediately noticed the cap was not as stretchy as the Phoenix I bought recently. *First wig shout-out, yo!* My melon is, well, melon-y at about 22.75 in, and this Editor's Pick Elite certainly wasn't made for heads like mine. Could I make it work? I probably could, but when I looked in the mirror, there was a soccer mom (No offense, soccer moms!) looking back at me, and THAT was not okay. Plus, holy hair, Batman! My Phoenix is wavy, soft, and airy. This unit was like a hair helmet. It went right back into the box.

This was my first really high-end wig. I ordered it in the color, Shaded Biscuit, which I had heard a lot about. Seeing it IRL, I perceived this color to be too warm against my cool skin tone. The monofilament cap inside on top felt rougher than I expected. I thought that and expensive cap would help as my hair loss is the worst on the top of my head and I'm very sensitive. The color is well done and the lace front is beautiful. For me, however, there was not enough coverage for my 22.5" circumference. I have Average 12"-13"measurements ear to ear and front to back but the ear tabs ended surprisingly high above my ears. So in the end I have learned, as Heather says, that expensive wigs with high-end cap features are not necessarily better than less expensive wigs with regular caps.
