Model Mode by Raquel Welch: Step Into the Spotlight
If you've ever wanted a wig that commands attention the moment you walk into a room, the Model Mode by Raquel Welch was made for exactly that moment. This super-long, glamour-forward style features lush barrel curls elegantly directed away from the face, light layering at the back for movement and lift, and a full monofilament top that puts complete styling control in your hands.
Design & Style
Model Mode is built around a show-stopping silhouette. The barrel curls sweep away from the face to add softness and volume, while the light layering at the back creates a dynamic, flowing shape that moves beautifully with you.

- Extended Lace Front (Sheer Indulgence™): Creates a seamless, undetectable hairline for off-the-face styling
- Velvet Ear Tabs: Enhance comfort and grip around the ears
- Extended Nape: Ensures a secure, smooth fit at the back
- Ultra-Thin Nape Adjusters: Fine-tune the fit for a personalized, secure feel

Fiber & Styling
Model Mode uses Raquel Welch's Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, which tolerates heat styling up to 350°F. That means you can refresh the barrel curls with a curling iron, smooth things out with a flat iron, or experiment with entirely new looks — all without compromising the fiber. Always begin at a lower heat setting and work upward carefully.

Who Is Model Mode Right For?
Model Mode by Raquel Welch suits anyone drawn to bold, glamorous long hair — from special-event dressing to fashion-forward daily wear. The barrel curls directed away from the face add width and softness that generally flatters oval, heart, and square face shapes beautifully. The monofilament top and extended Sheer Indulgence™ lace front also make it an excellent option for those experiencing hair loss, offering realistic scalp appearance and a completely natural-looking hairline.

Care & Maintenance
To keep Model Mode looking its best, wash every 6–8 wears using cool water and a sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo. Gently detangle before washing, rinse thoroughly, apply a light conditioner, and air dry on a wig stand to preserve the curl shape. Avoid wringing, heat drying, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. With proper care, expect 4–6 months of wear with daily use, or 12 months or more with occasional styling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a flat iron or curling iron on the Model Mode by Raquel Welch?
Yes. Model Mode uses Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, rated for heat tools up to 350°F. You can use a curling iron to refresh the barrel curls, a flat iron for a sleeker look, or a blow dryer for added volume. Start at a lower heat setting and increase gradually. See our Wig Fiber Guide for safe heat-styling tips.
Is the Model Mode wig comfortable to wear all day?
Yes. The Memory Cap® I construction is made from a finer, cooler material that conforms to your head's shape for a custom-like fit. Velvet ear tabs, an extended nape, and ultra-thin nape adjusters let you dial in the fit precisely. Most wearers find it comfortable for extended use, though individual fit can vary — confirm your measurements with our Wig Size Chart.
Is Model Mode by Raquel Welch a good choice for hair loss?
Absolutely. The full monofilament top replicates the look of a natural scalp, and the extended Sheer Indulgence™ lace front creates an undetectable hairline — both key features for a realistic appearance. The secure Memory Cap® I fit and adjustable nape provide confidence and comfort even without natural hair to grip, making this a strong option for full coverage.
How do I wash and care for the Model Mode wig?
Wash every 6–8 wears using cool water and a sulfate-free synthetic shampoo. Detangle gently before washing, apply a light conditioner, and always air dry on a wig stand — never wring or heat-dry. Proper care preserves the barrel curl shape and can significantly extend the wig's lifespan, especially with less-frequent use.
