Goddess by Raquel Welch

Goddess by Raquel Welch

Goddess by Raquel Welch is, by Raquel Welch's own account, the style most like her own natural hair. Wigs.com confirms it with the most compelling possible brand endorsement: "This style is very much like Raquel's own natural hair... the Goddess herself!" A barely waved, shoulder-length silhouette with layers that feather back, flipped ends with a forward front movement, and a sweep of face-framing fringe — Goddess is the specific combination of elegance, versatility, and natural-looking character that defines the Raquel Welch aesthetic at its most personal. The Sheer Indulgence™ lace front creates a natural-looking hairline. The monofilament top allows parting in any direction with convincing scalp simulation. The Tru2Life® heat-friendly fiber holds the barely waved pre-set beautifully and responds to curling wands and flat irons for greater styling range. And the Memory Cap® II molds to the head for a comfortable, conforming fit at 4.25 oz. Dramatic natural beauty. The goddess herself.

What Makes Goddess Distinctive

Raquel Welch's Own Hair — The Most Personal Style in the Collection

Wig Salon describes Goddess as "most like Raquel's own hair — full and layered and very versatile." Wigs.com confirms: "This style is very much like Raquel's own natural hair... the Goddess herself!" This is not marketing language — it is the specific reason the style was named Goddess and the reason it has maintained its place in the Signature Collection as a consistent community favorite. When Raquel Welch designed a style that represents her own aesthetic most accurately, she made a barely waved, layered, shoulder-length style with a sweep of face-framing fringe. Understanding this explains everything about Goddess's character: it is glamorous without being theatrical, natural-looking without being plain, and versatile without being indeterminate. It is the specific combination that Raquel Welch herself chooses.

The Precise Silhouette: Feathered Layers, Flipped Ends, Forward Fringe

Elegant Wigs provides the most precise confirmed style description: "a barely waved, shoulder length silhouette with layers that feather back, flipped ends with a forward front movement, and a sweep of face framing fringe." Each element is specific and meaningful. The barely waved texture is soft and natural-looking rather than dramatically styled — the waves have the organic, slightly varied quality of excellent real hair rather than a manufactured wave pattern. The layers feather back, creating natural-looking dimension that reads as a well-executed layered cut rather than a blunt uniform length. The flipped ends add the light, lively quality that gives the style movement and energy at the bottom of each layer. And the face-framing fringe at 6.25" sweeps forward to direct attention toward the face and eyes with the flattering diagonal that is one of the most consistently effective face-framing techniques in professional styling.

Sheer Indulgence™ Lace Front

Wigs.com confirms: "Virtually invisible sheer lace front that gives you a natural looking hairline and amazing off-the-face styling versatility." The Sheer Indulgence™ temple-to-temple lace front creates a natural-looking hairline across the full front perimeter where individual hairs are hand-sewn into ultra-fine, transparent lace. For a shoulder-length style with a 6.25" face-framing fringe that is constantly in close-range view, the Sheer Indulgence™ quality ensures the hairline is consistently convincing from every angle. The off-the-face styling freedom means the fringe can be swept back, pushed behind the ears, or worn in any direction without revealing an artificial cap edge.

Monofilament Top

Wigs.com confirms: "Creates the illusion of natural hair growth where the hair is parted and allows you to part the hair in any direction." The monofilament top covers the crown area with individually knotted fibers on a sheer, skin-toned mesh base — creating convincing multi-directional natural scalp simulation. For Goddess's layered shoulder-length style, the monofilament top's parting flexibility allows the fringe sweep and the crown parting to be customized to the individual wearer's most flattering position, making Goddess adaptable to different face shapes in a way that a fixed-part style cannot be.

Tru2Life® Heat-Friendly Fiber

Goddess's Tru2Life® fiber is heat-friendly to 350°F — and Wigs.com specifically recommends 275°F–300°F for best results. The barely waved pre-set is beautiful and ready to wear straight from the box. Heat tools extend the range: a curling wand at 275°F creates more defined, dramatic curls for evening glamour — "curled for a more dramatic effect" as the style's own description confirms. A flat iron creates a sleek, smooth shoulder-length layered alternative. The Tru2Life® style memory holds any heat-applied variation until the next wash. Always use a heat protectant before any heat tool contact.

Memory Cap® II Base

The Memory Cap® II molds to the specific contours of the wearer's head after approximately one hour of wear for a custom-like fit. Velvet-lined ear tabs and velvet-lined nape add comfort and security at the most contact-sensitive areas. At 4.25 oz with medium density, the Memory Cap® II's conforming fit distributes the weight evenly for comfortable extended daily wear.

Style & Length

Goddess's measurements describe a shoulder-length style with a specific and well-considered graduation. The crown at 9.25" is the longest measurement — providing the generous layered body from which the style's feathered layers and flipped ends fall. The sides at 9" and back at 9" match the crown closely, creating the uniform shoulder-length profile of a well-cut layered style. The nape at 8.25" provides complete, comfortable neck coverage. And the front fringe at 6.25" — notably shorter than the crown — creates the face-framing sweep that is the style's most immediately visible and most flattering feature.

On most wearers, the 9"–9.25" measurements place the style at or just above the shoulder — creating the specific shoulder-length character that is neither too short to be dramatic nor too long to be manageable. This is the length at which barely waved layers look their most natural and most dimensional: generous enough for the wave character to have visible depth and movement, compact enough to stay polished and manageable throughout the day.

Available Colors

Goddess is available in Raquel Welch's comprehensive RL and SS color range. The most photographed community colors at Wigs.com are RL31/29 Fiery Copper (confirmed Wigs.com influencer @thewiggygirl), RL19/23SS Shaded Biscuit (multiple community photography appearances), RL8/29SS Shaded Hazelnut, RL30/27 Rusty Auburn, and RL29/25 Golden Russet. All five are warm-toned — a consistent pattern reflecting how naturally warm colors display in Goddess's barely waved layered construction, where each wave surface catches a slightly different depth of a warm dimensional color simultaneously.

The SS Shadow Shade colors are particularly beautiful in Goddess's monofilament top: the darker root tone distributes naturally through the crown area with convincing natural depth, and the lighter highlighted mid-lengths play through the barely waved layers with the dimensional, naturally-varied quality of professionally colored real hair. Wigs.com reviewer Susan Sparky S confirms the multi-color collecting behavior: "This is the perfect style when you want dressy but not too long. I have her in many colors."

Care & Maintenance

Goddess uses Tru2Life® heat-friendly fiber. It is heat-styleable to 350°F — Wigs.com recommends 275°F–300°F for best results. Always use a heat protectant before any heat tool contact.

• Washing: Every 10–14 wears using a gentle sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo in cool water; gently submerge and swirl — never rub, scrub, or wring; be gentle at the lace front and monofilament top areas
• Conditioning: Apply a lightweight synthetic conditioner to mid-lengths and ends — avoid the lace front and monofilament top areas; rinse thoroughly in cool water
• Drying: Gently press out excess water with a towel — never wring; air dry on a wig stand; the Tru2Life® fiber dries in whichever style it was last set — the barely waved pre-set restores naturally if dried without heat styling
• Heat styling: Apply heat protectant before any heat tool; work at 275°F–300°F; allow to cool completely before touching to lock any heat-styled shape
• Storage: Store on a wig stand or hung on a wig hanger away from direct sunlight and heat sources
