Maggie by Rene of Paris: The Orchid Collection's Shattered Bob
Maggie by Rene of Paris
Every collection needs one bob that refuses to be boxy. In the Orchid Collection, that bob is Maggie — a shattered, textured take on the classic short cut, with longer layers through the crown falling to a clean, tapered nape, all on a lace front and lace part cap that weighs just 2.7 oz.
Maggie by Rene of Paris is a short, straight synthetic wig from The Orchid Collection, built on a Lace Front + Lace Part cap in an Average size with adjustable tabs at the nape. Front 6.5", crown 8.5", nape 2", at 2.7 oz (77g). Chic, lived-in, and ready to wear straight from the box.
What Is a Shattered Bob?
A shattered bob takes the structure of a classic bob and breaks up its edges — layers are cut at staggered, irregular lengths rather than one blunt line, so the shape carries built-in movement and lift instead of sitting like a helmet. On Maggie, longer textured layers through the crown and top fall to a shorter, tapered 2" nape, which keeps the back sharp and close while the top stays soft and touchable. The result is a cut that reads styled-but-effortless: structure and softness at the same time, with none of the boxiness that can make short bobs feel severe.
The Construction: Lace Front + Lace Part
Maggie's lace front creates a natural-looking hairline you can wear off the face with confidence, while the lace part delivers a realistic parting that gives the impression of hair growing from your own scalp. Adjustable tabs at the back nape let you fine-tune the fit for a secure, personalized hold. At 2.7 oz (77g), Maggie is light enough to forget you're wearing it — a genuine all-day, everyday cap. For brand-specific sizing guidance, consult the Wig Size Chart by Brand before ordering.
Thirteen Shades, Rooted and Classic
Maggie arrives in 13 shades spanning blondes, brunettes, silvers, and reds: Café Rouge-R, Champagne Sunset-R, Creamy Toffee, Dark Chocolate, Ginger Brown, Ice Blond, Marble Brown-R, Melted Marshmallow-R, Mochaccino-R, Moonlit Silk, Silver Stone, Spring Honey-R, and Winter Oat Latte-R. Shades ending in "-R" are rooted, with a darker base at the crown for natural-looking depth and dimension.

Maggie Within the Orchid Collection
Maggie arrives alongside two other new Orchid Collection styles at MyHairMail — Asha, a featherlight textured pixie, and Phillipa, a glamour-length tousled wave. All three share the same Lace Front + Lace Part construction.
| Feature | Maggie | Asha | Phillipa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Style | Shattered Bob | Textured Pixie | Long Tousled Waves |
| Length | Short | Short | Long (16") |
| Weight | 2.7 oz | 2.3 oz | 5.6 oz |
| Bangs | No | Yes | Yes |
If you want more length than a pixie but none of the upkeep of long hair, Maggie is the middle path — and arguably the most versatile silhouette of the three.

Caring for Maggie
Maggie uses standard synthetic fiber, which means the shattered bob shape is permanently set — wash it, shake it out, and the style returns on its own. Wash with a shampoo and conditioner formulated for synthetic fiber, rinse in cool water, and air dry on a wig stand. Skip the curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers entirely; this fiber is not heat friendly. To understand the difference between heat-friendly and standard synthetic fibers, visit the Wig Fiber Guide.
Is Maggie Right for You?
You want a bob with movement, not a helmet. The shattered layering is the entire point — lift, separation, and a lived-in finish that blunt bobs can't deliver.
You want a natural hairline and part. The lace front and lace part hold up at conversation distance, worn forward or swept back.
You want zero daily styling. The cut is pre-set into the fiber. There is nothing to curl, flatten, or coax — it is genuinely wash-and-wear.
