Upstage Large Cap by Raquel Welch

An absolute winner. This is really a fantastic wig, probably the most realistic or all the ones in my collection and the construction is impeccable!! Apart from the fact that I should have ordered the average cap instead of the large, this is really a very high end wig and it will get many compliments and wears. My advise to those who want to order a large cap in this particular wig is to only go for large if you are really LARGE, i am 22.5 inch and sometimes wigs can be borderline for me, but this one is a bit too large at the back for me, its very very comfortable but i think the Average in the Editors pick fitted me better, but if your head is bigger at the back or you have long bio hair, this will be a dream. Absolutely 5 star wig.

Pro:

-The cut is nice.

-The hair fibers are soft

-The cap is comfortable

-The overall color is what I wanted

Cons:

-Hairs fall out every time I wear it. It started the very first day I wore it with at least 7 hairs falling out. At least 5 the second day. At least 1 falls out every time I wear it. 😔

-For the price I thought the wig would have more hair and they would stay attached.

-The hair that frames the face is very light in color, not a blend like the rest of the cap.

Would I buy it again? NO. Would I buy a Raquel Welch again? Maybe, but no time soon. It could be I just got a lemon. I did not send it back because of the pros.

This is my first wig purchase, ever. I am so grateful for the Youtube video review by Heather, which made me feel much more comfortable diving into this world of wigs.

I purchased Upstage Large Cap in Cinnebar and it is a stunning red. My own sister thought it was my natural hair with a new cut and color. I have stage 2 androgenic alopecia so maybe she just wasn't really paying attention? Anyway, every single person who sees me thinks this is my natural hair. It looks so natural that I have removed it to prove it's a wig (the looks on their faces!). I was surprised how real the synthetic hair feels and how naturally it moves. It's normal that it is taking some time for me to get used to wearing a wig and figuring out the best way to keep it in place all day. I will definitely purchase another when this one eventually wears out. Thank you Heather!
