In Charge by Raquel Welch

In Charge by Raquel Welch

In Charge by Raquel Welch is a confirmed best-seller — a beautifully layered stacked bob that lets you call the shots. Short, modern, and effortlessly stylish, In Charge features a multi-layered cut with a shorter crown and longer face-framing front layers that create natural volume, lift, and flattering dimension from every angle. Gentle waves sweep away from the face creating fullness that can be brushed smooth for a sleek finish, tucked behind one ear for a polished touch, or worn loose and tumbled for relaxed movement — three genuinely different looks from one style, no heat tools required. The Sheer Indulgence™ temple-to-temple lace front creates a natural-looking hairline for seamless off-the-face styling. The Sheer Indulgence™ monofilament part creates realistic scalp appearance at the part line. The Memory Cap® III base molds to the head with silicone-coated stretch lace for a secure, comfortable custom-like fit. And Tru2Life® heat-friendly fiber holds the style's wave character beautifully while supporting heat tools for further customization. "Perfect right out of the box. Lace front is a must-have for me — and the color is really pretty. No trimming, finger-styled right out of the box!" That is In Charge in one review. You are in charge from the very first wear.

What Makes In Charge Work

The Stacked Bob Silhouette: Shorter Crown, Longer Front

In Charge's multi-layered cut features a shorter crown with longer face-framing layers, creating a flattering silhouette that offers lift, fullness, and styling versatility. This is the specific proportion that makes a stacked bob distinctively modern and flattering: the shorter crown creates a clean, architectural back profile while the longer front layers — at 7.75" front vs. 7" crown — sweep forward to frame the face with the diagonal, cheekbone-directing quality of a well-executed layered bob. The 3" nape creates the clean, precise back finish of a professionally stacked bob, and the multi-layering throughout creates the natural volume and dimension that prevents the style from looking flat or compressed.

The Three Styling Modes

Gentle waves sweep away from the face creating fullness that can be brushed smooth, tucked behind one ear, or worn loose and tumbled. These three modes are achievable with finger-styling alone — no heat tools required for any of them. Smooth for professional settings and polished occasions. Tucked behind one ear for a relaxed but intentional look. Loose and tumbled for the most casual, effortlessly natural presentation. Three genuinely different characters from the same light-medium density stacked bob, requiring nothing but hands and seconds.

Sheer Indulgence™ Lace Front and Monofilament Part

The Sheer Indulgence™ Monofilament Part creates the illusion of natural hair growth where the hair is parted. The Temple-To-Temple Lace Front is ready-to-wear and virtually invisible, creating a natural looking hairline that gives you amazing off-the-face styling versatility. The monofilament part is a fixed part — natural scalp simulation at the specific part line rather than throughout the full crown. Important distinction: In Charge has a monofilament part, not a full monofilament top. The scalp simulation is at the part line where it matters most for this stacked bob's face-framing front layers.

Memory Cap® III Base

The Memory Cap® III is constructed with resilient stretch lace coated with flexible silicone along the back and sides for a superbly comfortable and secure fit that maintains its shape over time and molds to the head. Velvet-lined ear tabs and extended velvet nape add comfort and security at the most contact-sensitive areas. At 4.1 oz, the Memory Cap® III's conforming silicone-coated construction distributes the weight evenly for comfortable extended daily wear.

Tru2Life® Heat-Friendly Fiber

In Charge's Tru2Life® fiber holds the gentle wave pre-set through every wash and supports heat tools to 350°F for variation. A curling wand at 275°F enhances and defines the wave character for a more polished, deliberate wave presentation. A flat iron creates sleek, smooth stacked bob sophistication. The Tru2Life® style memory locks any heat-applied variation in place until the next wash. Always use a heat protectant; work at 275°F–300°F for best results.

Style & Length

In Charge's measurements describe a short stacked bob with the specific proportional quality that makes the stacked silhouette immediately recognizable. The front at 7.75" — the longest measurement — creates the face-framing front layers that sweep forward and downward. The crown at 7" is slightly shorter than the front, creating the slight forward-length differential that defines the stacked bob's characteristic face-forward sweep. The sides at 6.5" and back at 6.5" create the shorter, graduated side and back profile. And the nape at 3" — notably shorter than every other measurement — creates the stacked bob's signature clean, precise back finish where the shortest point is at the nape and the style stacks above it.

Reviewer Gisela W. describes it perfectly: "It's so flattering and the hair is soft and lays beautifully right out of the box." At 4.1 oz on a Memory Cap® III that conforms and holds, In Charge is immediately ready to wear and immediately, effortlessly flattering.

Available Colors

In Charge is available in Raquel Welch's comprehensive RL and SS color range. The most photographed Wigs.com community colors are RL31/29 Fiery Copper (confirmed @jenna_fail in multiple high-visibility posts) and RL51/61 Iced Granita (confirmed @style.me.ageless). The featured color RL4/10SS Shaded Iced Java is a deep espresso brown with dark roots — one of the deepest, richest Shadow Shade options in the Signature Collection. Additional confirmed community colors include RL17/23SS Shaded Iced Latte Macchiato (described by reviewer Gisela W. as "so flattering") and RL119 Silver & Smoke.

In In Charge's stacked bob construction, Shadow Shade colors display naturally at the monofilament part — the darker root tone sits convincingly at the part line's scalp simulation, and the lighter highlighted mid-lengths distribute through the shorter layered body with the dimensional, naturally varied quality that makes SS colors consistently the most-photographed choices in the community.

• Heat-styling short bob enthusiasts who want a light-medium density stacked bob that responds to curling wands and flat irons for daily variation

Care & Maintenance

In Charge uses Tru2Life® heat-friendly fiber. Heat-styleable to 350°F — always use a heat protectant and work at 275°F–300°F.

• Washing: Every 10–15 wears; add 1 tablespoon of synthetic wig shampoo to cool water; soak 5 minutes; rinse thoroughly — incomplete rinsing dulls the fiber; gently blot with a towel — never squeeze, twist, or wring
• Drying: Air dry on a wig stand; the Tru2Life® fiber dries as last styled — dried without heat it returns to the gentle wave pre-set
• Heat styling: Tru2Life® fiber only sets after it cools — keep the curl shape until completely cool, then release; work at 275°F–300°F; always apply heat protectant first
• Between wears: Finger-style only for wave styles; wide-tooth comb from ends upward before washing if needed; store on a wig stand away from direct sunlight and heat sources

Frequently Asked Questions

Is In Charge a short or long style?
In Charge is a short stacked bob — confirmed by Wigs.com ("short, layered wig"), WigStudio1 ("beautifully layered stacked bob"), and Chiquel. The confirmed measurements are Front 7.75" | Crown 7" | Sides 6.5" | Back 6.5" | Nape 3" — a short to medium-short silhouette, not a long style.

Does In Charge have a monofilament top or a monofilament part?
A monofilament part — confirmed by Wigs.com ("Sheer Indulgence™ Monofilament Part") and Chiquel ("monofilament part, lace front, wefted back"). The natural scalp simulation is at the specific part line rather than throughout the full crown. For wearers who specifically require a full monofilament top, other Signature Collection styles with monofilament tops are the appropriate alternatives.

Is In Charge heat friendly?
Yes. Tru2Life® fiber is safe for flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers up to 350°F. Work at 275°F–300°F for best results. The three finger-styling modes work without heat; heat tools extend the range further. Always use a heat protectant.

What are the three ways to style In Charge?
Brushed smooth for a sleek finish, tucked behind one ear for a polished touch, or worn loose and tumbled for relaxed movement — all achievable with finger-styling alone.

Is In Charge suitable for women with hair loss?
Yes. The Sheer Indulgence™ lace front creates a natural-looking hairline. The monofilament part provides realistic scalp simulation at the part line. The Memory Cap® III conforms gently at 4.1 oz. Velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape add comfort for sensitive scalps.
