Go All Out 16" HF Synthetic Topper (Mono Top) by Raquel Welch
Go All Out 16" HF Synthetic Topper (Mono Top) by Raquel Welch
If your hair is long and your crown is thinning, Go All Out 16" by Raquel Welch is the specific answer to your specific problem. The same pear-shaped full monofilament base that made Go All Out one of the Transformations Collection's most versatile targeted coverage toppers — the repositionable orientation, the extended flush border with no telltale edge, the soft inner protective layer for sensitive scalp comfort, the natural movement throughout the full base — now at 16" of Tru2Life® heat-friendly fiber that integrates proportionally with shoulder-length to longer bio hair. Go All Out 10" serves chin to shoulder-length bio hair. Go All Out 16" serves the longer-hair wearer who wants everything the 10" delivers — coverage adaptability, scalp comfort, natural movement — without the visible length discontinuity of a shorter topper worn over long bio hair. Long locks. Crown coverage. Seamlessly blended. Go all out.
Part of Raquel Welch's Transformations Collection, Go All Out 16" is the length-variant companion to Go All Out 10". In this blog we cover the one meaningful difference (hair length and who needs it), the length blending principle that makes the choice between 10" and 16" clear, the heat-styling use case for longer bio hair, the color story at 16", and who Go All Out 16" was made for. For complete construction detail on the pear-shaped base, full monofilament construction, extended flush border, soft inner layer, no-lace-front note, and the Go All Out vs. Crave the Wave comparison, the Go All Out 10" blog covers all of it in full.
What Is Go All Out 16" by Raquel Welch?
Go All Out 16" by Raquel Welch is the longer-length version of Go All Out — described by Raquel Welch specifically as "perfect for those who want to show off their long locks while still adding a little more coverage to the top of the head." The base is identical to the 10" in every construction detail: 5.75" x 7" pear-shaped full monofilament, extended flush border, soft protective inner layer, four pressure-sensitive clips. The length is what changes — 16" crown and sides, 15" fringe and back — designed for wearers whose bio hair is shoulder-length to longer, where the 10" version's crown measurement would create a visible length gap at the integration edges.
The One Decision That Determines Everything: Topper Length vs. Bio Hair Length
The Length Blending Principle
The single most important factor in choosing between Go All Out 10" and Go All Out 16" is bio hair length — and the principle is simple: the topper length should be proportional to the bio hair length at the sides and back for natural-looking blending at the integration edges.
When a topper is significantly shorter than the bio hair, its ends hang visibly above the bio hair's ends at the blending perimeter — the topper's length creates a visible step where the shorter topper fiber transitions to the longer bio hair. This length discontinuity is precisely what announces a topper's presence to observers who might otherwise never notice it. When the topper length is proportional to the bio hair, the topper's ends blend naturally into the bio hair's ends with no visible length step.
Which Length Is Right for You
Go All Out 10" (crown 10", sides 10") is designed for bio hair that is chin to shoulder-length. At this bio hair length, the 10" topper falls proportionally within or near the ends of the natural hair at the sides and back.
Go All Out 16" (crown 16", sides 16") is designed for bio hair that is shoulder-length to longer — mid-back, bra strap, waist length. At these bio hair lengths, the 16" topper falls proportionally within the natural hair's length without creating a visible shorter step at the integration edge.
The practical test: hold the topper against your bio hair at the blending edges — if the topper's ends fall within or near your hair's ends, the length is correct. If the topper's ends are significantly shorter, you likely need the longer version. Ask Angela℠ can advise on the correct length for your specific bio hair before purchase.

The Weight Difference: 3 oz vs. 2.2 oz
Go All Out 16" weighs 3 oz — 0.8 oz more than the 10" version. This additional weight reflects purely the increased fiber length: the same 5.75" x 7" base, but 15"–16" of Tru2Life® fiber throughout rather than 9"–10". For most wearers, 3 oz remains well within a comfortable wearing range — lighter than most full wigs reviewed in this series. For wearers with scalp sensitivity who have specifically found lighter weight toppers more comfortable, this weight comparison is worth noting before choosing between the two Go All Out lengths.
Construction: Same as Go All Out 10" in Every Respect
For complete construction detail, the Go All Out 10" blog covers each element thoroughly. The summary for Go All Out 16":
Pear-Shaped Repositionable Base
The same pear-shaped 5.75" x 7" monofilament base — positioned with the narrower or wider end forward to best conceal any crown thinning pattern. The repositionability that makes Go All Out 10" adaptable to individual thinning zone shapes applies fully at 16" — same base, same orientations, same adaptability.
Extended Flush Monofilament Border
The extended border lies flush to the scalp with no telltale edge — identical to the 10" version. The construction that makes "seamless blend" accurate rather than aspirational is present at both lengths.
Soft Inner Protective Layer
The soft, silky smooth inner layer that protects and comforts a sensitive scalp is present in Go All Out 16" exactly as in the 10" version. Scalp comfort from this layer is construction-level and not affected by fiber length.
Full Monofilament Base — Natural Movement Throughout
Every fiber within the full base area is individually knotted. Part anywhere within the base. Change the parting direction using the palm-heat technique: rub palms together vigorously to warm them, hold flat on the desired new part location for 10–15 seconds. The heat from the hands encourages the fiber to settle into the new direction.
No Lace Front
Go All Out 16" does not have a lace front — same as the 10" version. Integration at the front edge relies on bio hair blending. For a lace front topper, Crave the Wave (temple-to-temple lace front + monofilament part) is the appropriate alternative in the Transformations Collection.
Heat Styling at 16": The Long-Hair Texture Matching Opportunity
Why Longer Length Creates More Complete Blending
The primary heat-styling purpose for any Go All Out topper is achieving a texture match between the straight pre-set fiber and the bio hair's natural texture at the blending edges. At 16" of fiber, this texture matching creates significantly more complete integration than the same technique at 10" — because longer fiber surfaces have more length over which the texture transition plays out. A wave that begins at the monofilament base and flows through 16" of fiber by the time it reaches the bio hair's blending edges has had the full length to settle naturally into the wave pattern that matches the bio hair. At 10", the same wave has less length to develop before reaching the edge.
For wearers with naturally wavy or curly long bio hair, Go All Out 16" provides the most complete texture-matching canvas available in this topper. The full 15"–16" of heat-styled fiber can be waved or curled throughout to match the bio hair's texture from base to end — creating the most seamless possible integration at the edges where topper meets bio hair.
The Heat-Styling Technique at This Length
The technique is the same as Go All Out 10" with one important additional note for the longer length: the longer each fiber section, the more time it needs to cool fully before releasing. Releasing a heat-styled section of 16" fiber before it has cooled completely will result in significantly less wave retention than the same technique applied correctly. Work in sections no wider than 1", hold the shaped section in position — with a clip, a pin, or simply held by the hand — until completely cool to the touch, then release. The patience required for complete cooling at this length is proportional to the wave retention it produces. Always apply a heat protectant before any tool contact; work at 275°F–300°F; never exceed 350°F.
The SS Shadow Shade Color Story at 16"
At 15"–16" of fiber length, the SS Shadow Shade color gradient plays out across a significantly more generous canvas than at shorter topper lengths. The darker root depth at the full monofilament base transitions through the full 16" of fiber to the lighter highlighted ends — creating the most dimensional and most continuously visible root-to-length color story available at this topper length. For wearers with long bio hair whose own color has natural or professionally applied root depth, an SS color in Go All Out 16" creates the most natural-looking color integration at the monofilament base's crown zone and the most dimensional color presentation throughout the long length.
Confirmed SS Shadow Shade options for Go All Out 16" include RL12/22SS Shaded Cappuccino, RL14/22SS Shaded Wheat, RL14/25SS Shaded Honey Ginger, RL17/23SS Shaded Iced Latte Macchiato, RL19/23SS Shaded Biscuit, and RL29/33SS Shaded Iced Pumpkin Spice. Standard RL options span the full Transformations palette.
Who Is Go All Out 16" Made For?
The Long-Hair Crown Thinning Wearer
Go All Out 16"'s most directly identified buyer is the woman with crown or part-line thinning whose bio hair is shoulder-length to longer. This is the wearer for whom Go All Out 10" would create a visible length step at the integration edges — the topper's ends hanging noticeably shorter than the bio hair's ends at the sides and back. Go All Out 16" eliminates this step, providing the same pear-shaped coverage adaptability and full monofilament natural movement in a length that integrates proportionally with long bio hair. The result: targeted crown coverage that reads as the wearer's own long hair from the crown through the ends, with no visible length discontinuity at any integration edge.
The "Long Locks, More Coverage" Wearer
The confirmed Raquel Welch description for Go All Out 16" identifies a specific buyer identity: "perfect for those who want to show off their long locks while still adding a little more coverage to the top of the head." This is not the medical hair loss buyer specifically — it is the long-hair wearer who has noticed thinning or sparseness at the crown and wants targeted coverage without replacing or modifying her long bio hair. Go All Out 16" serves this buyer precisely: the long hair remains at the sides and back as it is; the pear-shaped base provides the coverage at the crown; and the 16" length ensures the transition from base to bio hair is invisible in the full-length presentation.
The Fine-Hair Volume Seeker With Long Bio Hair
For wearers with baby-fine long bio hair that goes flat at the crown — insufficient density at the top rather than visible thinning — Go All Out 16" adds the full monofilament base's natural-movement crown volume in a length proportional to their long hair. One reviewer notes that the Go All Out fits seamlessly whether their bio hair is slightly shorter or slightly longer than the topper, confirming that proportional length matching is the key to undetectable integration. For long-haired fine-hair volume seekers, Go All Out 16" provides this at the correct length.
The Long-Hair Heat-Styling Texture Matcher
For wearers with naturally wavy or curly long bio hair who want the most complete possible texture match between topper and bio hair, Go All Out 16"'s 15"–16" of heat-styleable Tru2Life® fiber provides the most generous styling canvas available in this Transformations Collection topper. The full length of the fiber can be waved or curled to match the bio hair's texture throughout — creating the most seamlessly continuous texture presentation from the crown base through the full length of the integrated style.
Care and Maintenance for Go All Out 16"
Pre-Wash Detangling — Essential at 15"–16"
At 15"–16" of fiber length, pre-wash detangling is the most critical step in the care routine. Apply a detangling spray specifically to the mid-lengths and ends before any water contact. Work from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb in small sections — never force tangles through long Tru2Life® fiber. This pre-wash detangling prevents the tangles that develop during wear from becoming permanent fiber damage during washing.
Washing
- Frequency: Every 6–8 wears using a gentle synthetic topper shampoo in cool water
- Method: Allow water to flow in the direction of the fibers — never rub, scrub, or agitate; rinse thoroughly; gently blot with a towel — never wring or twist
- Drying: Air dry on a wig stand or hung on a hanger; the fiber dries into whichever position it was last styled
Heat Styling
- Always apply heat protectant before any tool contact; work at 275°F–300°F; never exceed 350°F
- Work in sections no wider than 1"; hold each section completely still while cooling before releasing — at 16", each section requires more cooling time than at 10"; patience produces significantly better wave retention
- Any heat-applied texture holds until the next wash
Storage — Critical at 15"–16"
- Store on a wig stand or hung on a hanger at all times — at 15"–16", folded or unstructured storage creates tangles that are difficult to remove from long Tru2Life® fiber
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources; at long lengths, sun exposure accelerates color fading
Frequently Asked Questions About Go All Out 16"
What is the difference between Go All Out 10" and Go All Out 16"?
Hair length and weight only. The base — 5.75" x 7" pear-shaped full monofilament, extended flush border, soft inner layer, four pressure-sensitive clips — is identical. Go All Out 16" has 16" crown and sides (vs. 10") and weighs 3 oz (vs. 2.2 oz). Go All Out 16" is designed for shoulder-length to longer bio hair; Go All Out 10" for chin to shoulder-length bio hair.
How do I know if I need Go All Out 10" or 16"?
Bio hair length. If your hair is chin to shoulder-length, Go All Out 10" is the correct length. If your hair is shoulder-length to longer, Go All Out 16" integrates more proportionally. The test: the topper length should be proportional to the bio hair at the sides and back so the topper's ends blend naturally into the bio hair's ends with no visible length step. Ask Angela℠ can advise based on your specific bio hair length.
Does Go All Out 16" have a lace front?
No — same as Go All Out 10". Full monofilament base, no lace front. For a lace front topper in the Transformations Collection, Crave the Wave is the appropriate alternative.
Is Go All Out 16" heat friendly?
Yes. Tru2Life® fiber is heat-styleable to 350°F. Work at 275°F–300°F. Hold each styled section while cooling completely — at 16", cooling takes slightly longer than at 10"; complete cooling before releasing maximizes wave retention.
Is Go All Out 16" suitable for complete hair loss?
No — all toppers require natural hair at the sides and back for clip attachment and edge blending. For complete hair loss, a full wig is appropriate. Ask Angela℠ can help determine the right solution.
The Final Verdict
Go All Out 16" by Raquel Welch is Go All Out — the pear-shaped adaptable coverage, the flush monofilament border, the sensitive scalp inner layer, the natural full-base movement — in the length that serves long-hair wearers without the visible step that a shorter topper creates over longer bio hair. The five-year veteran who called Go All Out her favorite wears the 10"; wearers with longer bio hair get the same topper in the length that works for them. The construction is the same. The adaptability is the same. The comfort is the same. The length is what was always missing for longer-hair wearers — and Go All Out 16" provides it.
Long locks. Crown coverage. The right length. Finally.
