Winner Large by Raquel Welch

Winner Large by Raquel Welch

Winner Large by Raquel Welch is the Winner — the Signature Collection's most enduring short pixie best-seller — in the cap size that fits correctly for wearers whose head circumference falls above the standard average range. The same razor-tapered, barely waved, shake-and-go pixie. The same Kanekalon Vibralite® fiber that looks and feels like natural hair straight from the box. The same capless open Memory Cap® II that molds to the head for a custom-like fit. The same 1.75 oz. For wearers who have found Raquel Welch average caps consistently slightly loose, or whose measurement places them in the large cap range — Winner Large is the version that fits the way the Winner was always designed to fit. One shake. Ready to wear. Correctly sized.

The Only Difference: Cap Size

Who Needs Winner Large

Winner Large is for wearers whose head circumference falls above approximately 22.5"–23" — above the standard average range — or who have worn Raquel Welch average caps and found them consistently requiring maximum strap adjustment, sitting higher on the forehead than intended, or shifting during active wear. The Memory Cap® II's stretch lace still molds to the individual head contours after wear, creating the same custom-like conforming fit as Average — but from a correctly sized starting circumference that eliminates the compromises of wearing a cap that starts too small.

How to Confirm Your Size

Measure your head circumference from the front hairline, around behind the ears, to the nape and back. If the measurement is above approximately 22.5", Winner Large is the appropriate starting point. Ask Angela℠ can provide sizing guidance based on your specific measurements before purchase — the most reliable assurance that the cap size chosen will deliver the fit the Winner was designed to provide.

Construction and Styling: Identical to Winner Average

Winner Large is identical to Winner Average in every respect except cap circumference. For complete construction detail, silhouette analysis, and styling guidance, the Winner Average product page covers each element in full.

Capless Open Memory Cap® II

Open wefted capless construction — continuous airflow, lightweight breathability, Memory Cap® II stretch lace that molds to the head. 1.75 oz. Adjustable velcro tabs allow circumference customization up to half an inch within the Large cap range. No lace front. No monofilament. Same construction category as Winner Average.

Barely Waved, Razor-Tapered Pixie

The same razor-tapered layers, wispy bang at 2.75", crown at 4.25" with natural volume, smooth sides and back at 2.25", tapered neckline at 1.75". Shake-and-go from the first moment. The barely waved character holds through daily wear and returns after every wash without heat tools or intervention.

Vibralite® Fiber — Not Heat-Styleable

Kanekalon Vibralite® synthetic fiber — pre-styled, ready to wear, not heat-styleable. No flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers. Firm shake to style. Fingers or optional gel for definition. Done.

Care & Maintenance

Identical to Winner Average. Key points:

• Not heat-styleable — Vibralite® fiber is permanently damaged by heat tools; no exceptions
• Shake to style — firm shake; finger-style as preferred; optional gel for spiky definition
• Washing: Every 8–12 wears in cool water with synthetic wig shampoo; allow water to flow in the direction of the fibers — never rub; rinse thoroughly
• Drying: Dab gently with a towel; air dry on an open wig stand — never a solid head stand which stretches the cap; never brush or comb while wet
