Flirt Alert by Raquel Welch

Flirt Alert by Raquel Welch

Flirt Alert by Raquel Welch is the chopped bob that is loaded with wave, movement, and the kind of effortless character that turns a casual Tuesday into a great hair day. An eyelash bang that frames your face. Curled back waves that move with you. Slightly tapered ends and natural volume that update the classic bob silhouette into something that feels genuinely current. At 3.75 oz of Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber on a temple-to-temple lace front with a wide monofilament part, Flirt Alert is soft, light, and so natural-looking that confirmed buyers get stopped by friends who ask about their hair. "Great for the summer." "My new favorite right out of the box." "Rain, heat, travel, football — even Disney World roller coasters — this is perfection for me." Part of the Raquel Welch Signature Collection.

The Silhouette: Chopped Bob With Eyelash Bang and Curled Back Waves

What "Loaded With Wave and Movement" Actually Means

The confirmed brand description for Flirt Alert is precise: "a chopped bob that's loaded with wave and movement." The style is not a clean, structured bob — it is a chopped, textured, above-the-shoulder bob with curled back waves throughout the body and an eyelash bang at the front. The wave pattern is present throughout from out of the box. The eyelash bang at 8.5" is a soft, lash-grazing fringe — not a short blunt fringe, but a longer face-framing sweep that grazes the eye line and integrates with the surrounding layered waves. The slightly tapered ends give the perimeter a soft, undone quality rather than a blunt edge. The result is a bob that moves and shifts naturally with the wearer rather than holding a fixed, structured shape.

The Light-Medium Density Advantage

Flirt Alert is a light-medium density style — and this is one of its most consistently praised qualities. A confirmed buyer puts it directly: "ladies, if you are looking for a wig that is lite in density, this is the one for you!" Another: "the fiber is very fine and looks natural, has good movement, and doesn't shine." At 3.75 oz, the light-medium density produces a style that feels genuinely weightless on the head and moves with the natural lightness of real hair at this length. For buyers who have found heavier, denser bobs too hot, too stiff, or too obviously structured, the light-medium density of Flirt Alert is the specific quality that makes it feel and look different.

The Above-Shoulder Length and What It Means for Durability

Flirt Alert falls above the shoulder — and this is practically important for heat-defiant synthetic fiber wear. A confirmed buyer names it explicitly: "I only get heat-defiant fibers if the style is above my shoulders. Since Flirt Alert is right above my shoulders she has been holding up extremely well and has no tangles or frizz." The above-shoulder length means the fiber never contacts the collar or shoulder — avoiding the friction that causes longer synthetic styles to tangle, frizz, and wear faster. Combined with the light-medium density, Flirt Alert is one of the most durability-optimized synthetic bob styles in the Signature Collection.

Cap Construction: The Full Specification

Temple-to-Temple Sheer Lace Front

The sheer lace front extends temple-to-temple across the full visible front hairline, creating a virtually invisible hairline from ear to ear. Each hair appears to grow directly from the skin. For Flirt Alert's eyelash bang — which draws attention directly to the front hairline — and its off-the-face styling options, the full temple-to-temple coverage is what makes the style convincing at close range in any configuration. Confirmed buyer: "the front lace is very natural."

Wide Monofilament Part — Individually Knotted

The monofilament part is a wide strip — confirmed as "individually knotted fiber in a wide strip for parting options." It is wider than a standard single-line monofilament part, providing more natural scalp simulation across a broader part area and more parting flexibility within that zone. The part can be placed at a conventional left, right, or center position. This is a monofilament part — not a full monofilament top — but the wide individually-knotted strip provides more natural appearance than a narrow mono part.

Memory Cap® Base With Non-Slip Silicone

The Memory Cap® base uses resilient, silicone-coated stretch lace that molds to the head for a custom-like fit. Non-slip silicone at the front, crown, and nape provides three-point grip across the full cap interior — all-day security at 3.75 oz without adhesive. The wefted back allows airflow for all-day breathability. Velvet-lined ear tabs and extended velvet nape add soft, cushioned contact at the perimeter. Bendable ear tabs flex to the ear contour. Ultra-thin adjusters at the nape allow up to ½" of circumference adjustment.

Tru2Life® Fiber: Heat Styling and the Wave Reality

Working With the Factory-Set Waves

The factory-set curled back waves are Flirt Alert's signature and are present out of the box. The recommended approach from confirmed buyers: the wave can be slightly enhanced or redirected with heat tools at the recommended 275°F–300°F range. A confirmed buyer notes that after a wash and shake-out the wave character is at its best: "right out of the box it was a bit too curly for my taste, but after washing and shaking it out and a little product it really is a great look." For buyers who want a looser wave, an initial wash before first wear is worth considering.

Heat tools at 275°F–300°F allow the waves to be enhanced, redirected, or smoothed into a sleeker presentation. To set a curl, hold for 60 seconds in the styling device and allow to cool completely before releasing — the style sets as the fiber cools. A flat iron smooths the waves into a straighter version of the same bob. Any configuration created with heat locks in until washed.

Washing

Soak in cool water with one tablespoon of synthetic wig shampoo for up to 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly — incomplete rinsing dulls the fiber. Gently blot with a towel without squeezing or combing while wet. Air dry on a wig stand or on a low blow-dryer setting. The wave character returns as the fiber dries and cools. Once dry, shake gently and finger-style to restore movement and volume.

Available Colors

Flirt Alert is available in 25+ shades from Raquel Welch's RL (Luxe) and SS (Shadow Shade) color ranges. SS Shadow Shade colors add a natural dark root at the part and hairline — the most realistic pairing for the monofilament part's scalp simulation. The range includes RL119G Silver and Smoke — light brown with 80% gray in front graduating to 50% gray toward the nape — one of the most naturally transitional gray options in the Signature Collection for this silhouette.

Confirmed buyer favorite colors: RL19/23SS Shaded Biscuit (most consistently praised — multiple repeat purchases), RL12/22SS Shaded Cappuccino, RL8/29SS Shaded Hazelnut.

Color note: RL19/23SS Shaded Biscuit has received buyer feedback that it reads slightly less light and bright than product photography in some orders. The color is confirmed beautiful by the majority of buyers, but if you expect the lightest, most platinum presentation, ask Angela℠ for current stock color guidance before ordering.

Who Should Wear Flirt Alert

You want a wavy, light-density bob that moves like real hair. At light-medium density and 3.75 oz, Flirt Alert feels lighter and moves more naturally than heavier, denser bobs at comparable lengths. The wave character is soft and dimensional rather than structured or set. Confirmed buyer: "soft, silky fibers — great movement and doesn't shine. A+ for me."

You want an above-the-shoulder style that holds up through daily life. The above-shoulder length keeps the fiber away from collar friction. The light-medium density reduces heat and weight fatigue. The Tru2Life® fiber holds its wave character in all weather conditions. Confirmed buyer: "rain, heat, travel, football — even Disney World roller coasters — this is perfection for me."

You want a bob that works for the widest possible range of face shapes. Flirt Alert is confirmed suitable for oval, round, square, diamond, heart, pear, and oblong face shapes — one of the broadest compatibility ranges in the Signature Collection, making it a reliable choice for buyers who are uncertain about which silhouettes flatter their features.

Women managing hair loss. The temple-to-temple lace front creates an undetectable hairline. The wide individually-knotted monofilament part provides natural scalp simulation. The non-slip silicone at three points holds securely without adhesive. The velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape are gentle against sensitive scalps. At 3.75 oz with light-medium density, the style is among the most comfortable daily-wear options in the Signature Collection for wearers with scalp sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the monofilament area a full top or a part?
A wide monofilament part — individually knotted fiber in a wide strip at the part line. More parting flexibility than a narrow mono part, but not a full monofilament top across the entire crown. For multi-directional parting across the entire crown, ask Angela℠ for the right alternative.

Is Flirt Alert a high-density style?
No — light-medium density, confirmed by multiple sources. This is one of the style's most consistently praised qualities among confirmed buyers. For buyers who prefer higher-density styles, factor this in before ordering.

Should I wash Flirt Alert before first wear?
You do not have to, but a confirmed buyer recommends it: the wave pattern is at its most natural after washing and shaking out. If you find the factory-set curl tighter than you prefer out of the box, a gentle wash and air-dry before first wear is worth considering.

Is Flirt Alert heat-friendly?
Yes — Tru2Life® fiber, up to 350°F / 180°C. Recommended range 275°F–300°F for best results. Hold curls 60 seconds and allow to cool before releasing. Any style set with heat locks in until washed.

Is the eyelash bang difficult to manage?
Most buyers find it easy to wear and flattering. A small number note the front layers can require minor adjustment on first wear. The warm hands technique or a low-heat pass can help direct the bang in the preferred direction.

Is Flirt Alert suitable for women with hair loss?
Yes. The lace front creates an undetectable hairline. The wide monofilament part provides natural scalp simulation. Three-point non-slip silicone holds securely without adhesive. Velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape are gentle against sensitive scalps. At 3.75 oz with light-medium density, it is one of the most comfortable daily-wear bobs in the Signature Collection.
