Voltage by Raquel Welch - Average
Meet the Voltage by Raquel Welch - Average, a short, barely waved layered wig designed to deliver salon-inspired style with all-day comfort. Whether you're reaching for a sleek, polished finish or a tousled, textured look, Voltage transitions effortlessly between moods — making it one of the most versatile short styles in the Raquel Welch collection.
Design & Style
Voltage by Raquel Welch is built around a chic, short cut with barely waved layers that add movement and dimension without feeling overdone. The style sits close to the head for a refined silhouette, and its effortless construction means you can shake up your look with nothing more than your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. It's equally at home for everyday wear or a special occasion.
Cap Construction
The Average cap features Memory Cap® technology, which gently conforms to the unique contours of your head for a secure, custom-like fit without feeling tight or restrictive. An extended nape provides added coverage at the neck for a seamless, natural appearance from every angle.
- Cap size: Average (also available in Petite and Large)
- Weight: 2.35 oz — ultra-lightweight for extended, comfortable wear
- Cap feature: Extended nape for enhanced neck coverage
Fiber & Styling
Voltage is crafted from Kanekalon Vibralite® synthetic fiber, engineered to mimic the look and feel of natural hair while holding its style with minimal upkeep. The wave pattern refreshes easily with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Because heat-friendliness is not confirmed for this fiber, avoid hot styling tools unless the manufacturer explicitly states heat tolerance.

Care & Maintenance
Keeping Voltage looking its best is straightforward with a consistent routine:
- Gently hand wash in cool water using a shampoo formulated for synthetic wigs.
- Avoid rubbing or wringing the fiber — rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a soft towel.
- Air dry completely on a wig stand before wearing or storing.
- Brush with a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush designed for synthetic fibers.
- Wash every eight to twelve wears to maintain fiber integrity and style longevity.
With consistent care, Voltage typically lasts four to six months with daily wear, and considerably longer with occasional use.
