Upstage by Raquel Welch | Petite Cap — A Timeless Mid-Length Wig Built for Smaller Head Circumferences

Polished, lightweight, and crafted with premium construction details, the Upstage by Raquel Welch | Petite Cap delivers a mid-length page cut that moves effortlessly from everyday wear to special occasions. Designed specifically for smaller head circumferences, this wig combines a fully hand-tied base, a temple-to-temple lace front, and heat-friendly synthetic fiber into one refined, comfortable package.

Cap Construction

The Upstage Petite Cap is built around several of Raquel Welch's most sought-after construction technologies working together:

  • Sheer Indulgence™ Temple-to-Temple Lace Front: Creates a seamless, natural-looking hairline and allows for versatile off-the-face styling that is virtually undetectable at the hairline.
  • Monofilament Top: Enables multi-directional parting so the hair appears to grow directly from the scalp, offering maximum styling flexibility at the crown.
  • 100% Hand-Tied Base: Each strand is individually knotted, producing natural movement, a lifelike finish, and superior all-day comfort.
  • Velvet-Lined Ear Tabs & Extended Nape: Provide a secure, irritation-free fit that keeps the wig comfortably in place throughout the day.

Fiber & Styling

The Upstage by Raquel Welch | Petite Cap is crafted with Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, which safely tolerates heat tools up to 350°F (177°C). That means you can use a flat iron, curling wand, or blow dryer to switch between sleek straight styles and soft, voluminous waves — all without worrying about damaging the fibers.
