Fiber & Styling
Dress Code by Raquel Welch is crafted with Vibralite® Synthetic Hair, which closely mimics the look and feel of natural hair. One of Vibralite®'s standout qualities is its style retention — the cut bounces back to its original shape after washing, so you spend less time restyling and more time wearing.
Heat styling is not recommended unless a fiber is explicitly labeled heat-tolerant, and Vibralite® is not confirmed as heat-friendly in the product specifications. For a full breakdown of synthetic fiber types and care rules, visit our Wig Fiber Guide.
Who Is Dress Code By Raquel Welch For?
This style is a strong fit for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, professionally polished short cut. Its multi-layered volume and razored softness are particularly flattering on oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. It's also a thoughtful choice for those experiencing hair loss or thinning — the Memory Cap® I molds securely to the head, the velvet band is gentle against sensitive scalps, and the hidden weft creates a discreet, natural-looking hairline.
