Description  

Oodles of long layers that fall to the shoulder define this soft feminine cut. Wear it curly, barely waved or whatever way suits you. Tru2Life synthetic hair makes your styling options limitless! The Embrace synthetic fiber wig is lightweight, full of bounce and has volume towards the bottom. Embrace by Raquel Welch is packaged straight and can be curled using hair tools.

The Raquel Welch Free Form collection is an amazing new line made with the new Tru2Life heat-friendly fiber that makes it possible to flat iron, curl or blow dry every wig in the collection. So you can create a new style in a flash. What does it feel like? Like your own hair, only better. What does it look like? Like you've got your own live-in-stylist. This Free Form collection wig features the new Memory Cap® II stretch lace.

The Tru2Life Heat-Friendly synthetic hair feels like real, healthy hair and can be styled using thermal tools on medium settings (up to 180°C and 350°F). Curling has never been so easy. When curling the Tru2Life synthetic hair wig, simply slide the curled fiber off the iron and pin the warm curl with a clip until the fiber cools and curl sets. Steam rollers and/or wet setting can also be used. When you wash your wig, it will dry as you last had it styled.

The Embrace wig features Raquel Welch's Memory Cap II Capless construction. It is their patented Memory Cap construction with a new stretch lace that's lighter and cooler than ever! This finer, yet resilient, stretch lace takes the custom-like fit technology that has come to define their Memory Cap a step further... offering the lightest, most comfortable and secure fit available in the industry today.

Embrace
By Tamara from Stewardson, IL on December 27, 2011

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Total Glam
By Ann Dunhamn from Baxter MN on October 9, 2011
This is my first Raquel wig and I love it - feel like a different person with it on I have very fine, limp hair which is falling out due to a thyroid problem. This is the hair I've always wished I had! I've had many compliments on it and my son even said I look 10 years younger! I'm waiting for another sale to buy another style/color. Who knew losing your hair could be so fun!? After reading reviews about trying to curl the wig, I'm hesitant to buy another "straight" wig since I may not get it to curl like the pictures show. Had wanted "Always" but now I'm not certain?
Pros:
Body, style
Cons:
Afraid to curl after reading other reviews - will keep it as is

I would recommend this item to a friend.

great wig. Looks real
By pamela stromberg from Sahuarita AZ on August 23, 2011
Ordered wig on clearance, only one color available. The wig is great, however the color is not for me. My husband liked it too! Maybe I'll wear it someday where nobody knows me.
Pros:
fits good. easy to style
Cons:
color I got was not for me

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Love the color
By Lynda from Houston on August 11, 2011
Great wig-lots of bounce. Tried to curl the ends a little bit with curling iron and it totally made the hair straight. Can't get the curl back, Followed the directions but to no avail. Looks alright but can't style the way it says. Weairing it in biscuit-great color
Pros:
love the fullness and bounce-flattering style with wispy bangs cut in-comfortable and doesn't move
Cons:
cannot style according to instructuctions.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Absolutely beautiful ! ! !
By Anne Young from Wellington, Florida on June 19, 2011
Love the wig....love the color - very natural looking - only problem is that it is a little too big.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Not as easy as it seems
By Marilyn from Clifton, NJ on April 4, 2011
Perhaps a step-by-step process on how to style the wig would be helpful.
Pros:
The texture of the hair is marvelous! The color is also lovely
Cons:
The difficulty in styling is my greatest challenge.

Embrace by Raquel Welch (flat ironed)
By Rochelle from NY on January 19, 2011
Ive been wearing wigs for 3 or 4 years now due to medical hair loss. Raquel Welch makes high quality products at a reasonable price. This is my 3rd wig of hers and the only complaint I have is none of her wigs come in petite sizes! Even the petite/average size is much too big on me. The memory cap actually does conform itself to fit so it stays on my head fine. The Embrace came with a nice flip curl at the bottom but I flat ironed it out just to see what it would look like. I used the absolute lowest heat setting, I'm not sure of the actual degrees but it was setting ONE out of 25. I made sure to brush the tangles out FIRST and the integrity of the hair remained intact after ironing it. It still looks great! I made the mistake of not brushing out my previous heat friendly Raquel wig before I ironed it and the tangles kind of fried themselves in permanently. Oops! I think the trick is to use 3 or 4 quick passes with the iron over the fibers to warm them up gradually with the least amount of contact. Too much heat at once will definitely damage the fiber. I also used some baby powder on a big makeup brush and dusted it through the bangs and ends to take away a touch of the shine. I wasn't too shiny right out of the box but I wear a lot of moisturizer and the synthetic fibers tend to soak it up quickly. I recommend using some hair spray to flatten down the fly aways that stick up from the built in volume at the scalp. The part is really voluminous so it's not the most natural looking part line there is, but overall this wig is good quality, it is comfortable, and I would recommend it! Any synthetic hair beats what I'm workin with naturally so I love it!! (The color I'm wearing is RL2/4)
Pros:
Good quality for the price. Fiber responds well to heat.
Cons:
Not the most natural hair line, but you can work with it.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

I Love this wig!
By Patricia from Phoenix, Arizona on December 20, 2010
I have two of these and I get tons of compliments on my hair! I won't tell thme it's a wig. it's a little small but I've learned to get around that. It does great heat styling and holds it shape but you can wear it natural. Definitely a winner
Pros:
Nice curl natural look and shape
Cons:
Small cap

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Love it!!
By sally greer from richmond hill, georgia on September 8, 2010
I have had recent breast cancer and chemo so I have acquired quite a wardrobe of wigs in different styles. I love wearing different colors and looks. Raquel Welch wigs never disappoint me and I am having so much fun wearing them. I get compliments all the time and have several friends that have ordered them even though they don't have a hair loss problem.
Pros:
Everything.
Cons:
The problem of getting them in the heat.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Great wig
By Cindy Broussard from Schriever,La. on July 30, 2010
I had longer bangs cut in and I love it! I had a very bad short hair cut about a month ago and told my husband I was getting a wig. I know people who wear Miss Welchs products and I loved them.I loved the wig so much I bought another style today.
Pros:
Color and style are great.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Won't curl like photo!
By Kimberly from LaGrange, KY on February 3, 2010

Pros:
The wig is very pretty in color and almost a perfect match to my own.
Cons:
However it will not curl like the photo. I think it is not fair to style a wig for an ad when it is going to be nearly impossible for the average wearer to replicate.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Merchant Response:
The Tru2Life Heat-Friendly synthetic hair feels like real, healthy hair and can be styled using thermal tools on medium settings (up to 180°C and 350°F). Curling has never been so easy.

Great Style and Well Made
By Leslie from Charlotte, NC on January 6, 2010
I have been wearing wigs for 25 years; real hair and synthetic fiber. This is my first RW wig and I love the style, the varied color combination of strands and quality of manufacture. It like the layered cut and crown loft. It's also comfortable and light on the head. Most importantly, it looks very natural.
Pros:

Loft

Comfort
Cons:
Some short ends close to scalp netting are visible.

Not bad.....
By CC from Michigan on November 5, 2009
This is my first wig. I love the style of the hair, but I've noticed that it seems to be fraying at the "scalp" I have followed the care instructions to a tee, but all of these little strays are popping up. I'm a little disappointed by it. Also, it is difficult to part without it looking fake.
Pros:
Cute style
Cons:
Unrealistic part

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Not convinced
By Renee from Clarksville, Tn. on August 23, 2009
I love Raquel wigs and have a closet full of them, but this wig does not respond to heat. A great looking wig, but when I tried to curl the "flips" under, they did not change.
Pros:
If the length (long) works for you and you dont need to change wave pattern, a great wig.
Cons:
Cant style it as promised.

Merchant Response:
The new Tru2Life synthetic fibers can be curled using heat styling tools. This can be a little more time consuming than styling human hair wig as the curl must be pinned until it is cooled and set. Once the True2Life synthetic fiber cools, the curl will set and stayed how it was styled.
