Styling & Care Tips

Thanks to its Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, Flying Solo can be customized with heat tools — always use a low to medium heat setting and apply a heat protectant spray. For washing, aim for every 10–15 wears using a sulfate-free shampoo formulated for synthetic wigs. Rinse in cool water, air dry on a wig stand, and avoid wringing or rubbing the hair. Visit our Wig Fiber Guide for detailed care and heat-styling best practices.

With proper care, Flying Solo by Raquel Welch typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear or up to 12 months with occasional wear. Store it on a wig stand away from direct sunlight to preserve the style and fiber quality. Explore available color options using the MyHairMail Color Guide Tool.
