Unfiltered by Raquel Welch
Unfiltered by Raquel Welch
Not too fussy. Not too messy. Not too short, not too long. Just right.
That is Unfiltered by Raquel Welch — the chin-length LOB that has become a go-to for buyers who keep coming back for more colors. Gentle waves and loose layers all over. A carefree, tousled finish that looks like you styled it with confidence and then stopped caring at exactly the right moment. At 3.75 oz on a Sheer Indulgence™ temple-to-temple lace front with a full monofilament top and Memory Cap® III base, Unfiltered is one of the lightest fully-featured styles in the Raquel Welch Signature Collection — and one of the most consistently repurchased. "Unfiltered by Raquel has been my go-to unit for years. The only thing I typically change is the color."
The Silhouette: The Chin-Length LOB That Gets the Balance Right
Not Too Short, Not Too Long
The LOB — long bob — is one of the most universally flattering silhouettes in women's hair, and Unfiltered is its most natural, most effortless interpretation. The front falls to 10", framing the face at chin length. The sides taper to 6". The back shortens dramatically to 7.5" at the back and 3.5" at the nape — keeping the back light, airy, and away from the collar. That front-longer-than-back proportion is the specific geometry that gives a LOB its face-framing, neck-lengthening character. And at these measurements, Unfiltered hits the sweet spot: enough length at the front to feel like a full style, enough shortness at the back to feel fresh and current.
Gentle Waves and Loose Layers All Over
The texture throughout is wavy — not straight, not tightly curled, but the easy, tousled wave of hair that has natural movement and life without looking overdone. The loose layers amplify this: each layer catches the wave differently, so Unfiltered has genuine dimension and depth rather than the flat, uniform look of a single-length style. The confirmed brand language calls it "beautifully textured" and that is exactly right — this is a style that looks like you have interesting hair, not like you are wearing a wig.
The One Thing You Should Know Before Wearing It Out of the Box
Unfiltered is heat-friendly, and that matters specifically for first wear. A confirmed buyer is honest about it: "I thought I could take it out of the box, shake it and go. I like this wig but it needs to be curled to look good." Another confirms: "with a little styling from a heated round brush I can get it just the way I like it." The factory-set wave is present out of the box, but a few minutes with a curling wand or round brush at 275°F–300°F brings the waves to life and gives the style its full character. If you are a true shake-and-go buyer who never wants to touch a heat tool, factor this in. If you are willing to spend five minutes styling, Unfiltered rewards that effort generously.
The Cap: Why Unfiltered Feels Like Nothing at 3.75 oz
Sheer Indulgence™ Temple-to-Temple Lace Front
Your hairline disappears. The Sheer Indulgence™ temple-to-temple lace front creates a virtually invisible perimeter from ear to ear — the individual hairs appear to grow directly from your skin. Whether you wear Unfiltered with the waves framing your face or swept back away from it, the lace front maintains that natural hairline in every configuration. A confirmed buyer managing alopecia describes it specifically: "the colouring and hairline is super natural."
Full Monofilament Top
Part it wherever you want. Center, left, right — the full monofilament top covers the entire crown with individually hand-tied fibers that allow the part to fall anywhere with natural scalp simulation underneath. No fixed part. No visible cap where the part sits. Just hair that looks like it is growing from your head.
Memory Cap® III Base
The Memory Cap® III uses silicone-coated stretch lace that molds to the shape of your head within the first hour of wear. Non-slip silicone at the front, crown, and nape provides three-point grip throughout the cap — not just at the nape. A confirmed buyer who has been wearing Unfiltered since developing alopecia universalis puts it simply: "the cap is super snug. Even with the craziest winds I don't have to worry about it." Bendable ear tabs conform to your ear contour for a discreet fit. Adjustable band gives you up to ½" of sizing adjustment.
One sizing note worth knowing: a small number of confirmed buyers have noted the cap runs slightly on the smaller side of average. If you are between cap sizes, measure carefully before ordering. Ask Angela℠ can advise on current fit feedback for your measurements.

Heat Styling and Care
Getting the Most Out of Unfiltered
Tru2Life® is Raquel Welch's heat-defiant synthetic fiber — engineered for heat tools up to 350°F / 180°C. For Unfiltered, the recommended approach is a curling wand or round brush at 275°F–300°F on first wear and after every wash to bring the waves to their fullest character. Hold curls for 60 seconds in the styling device and allow to cool completely before releasing — the style sets as the fiber cools, not while it is still warm. Any wave or curl pattern you create with heat stays in place until you wash it. Always apply a heat protectant spray before tool contact.
To smooth rather than wave, a flat iron at the recommended range gives you a sleeker, more polished version of the chin-length LOB. The loose layers take well to a sleek finish, and the lace front and monofilament top look just as natural in the smooth configuration as in the wavy one.
Washing
Soak in cool water with synthetic wig shampoo for 3–5 minutes — no longer. Rinse thoroughly under cool running water in the direction of the fibers. Press out water with a towel without wringing. Lightly mist the ends with a conditioning spray and comb gently from ends to root with a wide-tooth comb. Avoid spraying directly on the monofilament top — moisture on hand-tied knots can loosen them over time. Air dry on a wig stand. Once dry, use your curling wand to restore the wave character before wearing.
The Colors: Hand-Blended From Up to 11 Shades
Every Unfiltered color is hand-blended from 7 to 11 individual shades — creating the dimensional, multi-tonal depth of naturally colored hair rather than a flat, uniform base. The RL (Luxe) range provides highlights and lowlights throughout the full LOB length. SS (Shadow Shade) colors add a natural dark root depth at the part and hairline — the most realistic choice for the full monofilament top's scalp simulation, and the recommended pick for buyers who want a grow-out appearance at the part line.
Unfiltered is available in 30+ shades: RL2/4 Off Black · RL4/6 Black Coffee · RL6/8 Dark Chocolate · RL6/30 Copper Mahogany · RL8/29 Hazelnut · RL10/12 Sunlit Chestnut · RL11/25 Golden Walnut · RL12/16 Honey Toast · RL12/22SS Shaded Cappuccino · RL13/88 Golden Pecan · RL14/22 Pale Gold Wheat · RL14/25 Honey Ginger · RL14/25SS Shaded Honey Ginger · RL16/22 Iced Sweet Cream · RL17/23SS Shaded Iced Latte Macchiato · RL19/23 Biscuit · RL29/25 Golden Russet · RL29/33SS Iced Pumpkin Spice · RL30/27 Rusty Auburn · RL31/29 Fiery Copper · RL32/31 Cinnabar · RL33/35 Deepest Ruby · RL38 Smoke · RL8/29SS Shaded Hazelnut · RL9/24SS Shaded Iced Café Latte · SS17/23 Shaded Iced Latte Macchiato

Is Unfiltered Right for You?
You Want Effortless, Natural-Looking Waves
If your hair goal is tousled, wavy, and casually perfect — the kind of hair that looks like you were born with great texture — Unfiltered was made for you. Five minutes with a curling wand on first wear and after every wash is all it takes to get the full wave character. From there, it truly does look fabulous without lifting a finger.
You Love a Chin-Length Style That Frames Your Face
The LOB silhouette flatters almost every face shape, and Unfiltered's specific proportions — longer at the front, shorter at the nape — create the face-framing, neck-lengthening effect that makes this length so universally appealing. Confirmed buyer experience: "I fell in love with Unfiltered as soon as I put her on."
You Want Lightweight Coverage That Stays Put All Day
At 3.75 oz with three-point non-slip silicone grip, Unfiltered is one of the lightest and most secure styles in the Signature Collection. Confirmed buyer: "very lightweight. I can wear all day without feeling like I am wearing anything." For buyers who want full lace front and monofilament top coverage at the lowest possible weight, this is the style to consider.
You Are Managing Hair Loss
The Sheer Indulgence™ lace front creates an undetectable hairline. The full monofilament top provides natural scalp simulation with multi-directional parting. The Memory Cap® III's three-point silicone holds securely all day without adhesive. A confirmed buyer with alopecia universalis describes the daily experience: "It's the best fit I've tried since getting alopecia. The cap is super snug. Even with the craziest winds I don't have to worry about it."
You Buy Wigs in Multiple Colors
Unfiltered has one of the highest repeat-purchase rates of any Raquel Welch Signature Collection style. "I purchase the same style probably 90% of the time — Unfiltered." "I have worn this style for several years." "Love Unfiltered — I have four in different colors." The LOB silhouette is the constant. The color is the variable. The RL hand-blended color range gives you 30+ options to work through.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Unfiltered a shake-and-go style?
Almost — but not quite out of the box. The factory-set wave is present, but a few minutes with a curling wand or round brush at 275°F–300°F brings the waves to their full character. Confirmed buyers describe it as needing minor heat styling to look its best. After that first styling session, refreshing takes very little time.
Is Unfiltered heat-friendly?
Yes — Tru2Life® fiber, up to 350°F / 180°C. Recommended everyday range 275°F–300°F. Hold curls for 60 seconds and allow to cool before releasing. Any configuration created with heat locks in until washed.
Does the back of Unfiltered touch the collar?
No — the nape is 3.5", which keeps the back well above the collar. A confirmed buyer specifically notes this as a feature: "I love how short it is in the neck. It doesn't get frizzy because the back doesn't touch my collar."
Is the cap true to average size?
Most buyers find the average cap size fits well. A small number of confirmed buyers note it runs slightly on the smaller side of average. If you are between sizes or have a larger average head, check the MyHairMail Wig Size Chart before ordering or ask Ask Angela℠ for current fit feedback.
Is Unfiltered suitable for women with hair loss?
Yes. The Sheer Indulgence™ lace front creates an undetectable hairline. The full monofilament top provides natural scalp simulation. The Memory Cap® III holds securely without adhesive. A confirmed buyer with alopecia universalis names it the best-fitting wig she has tried. The three-point non-slip silicone keeps it in place all day in all conditions.
What makes the RL colors look so natural?
Each Tru2Life® color in the RL range is hand-blended from 7 to 11 individual shades — creating the multi-tonal depth of naturally colored hair. SS Shadow Shade colors add a dark root at the part and hairline for the most realistic grow-out appearance with the monofilament top.
The Final Verdict
Some wigs get purchased once. Unfiltered gets purchased in every color.
That repeat-purchase pattern is the most honest endorsement available — buyers who have tried dozens of styles and keep landing back on Unfiltered do so because it genuinely fits the specific need: a lightweight, natural-looking, wavy chin-length LOB that wears comfortably all day, holds securely without adhesive, and looks like very good personal hair at the hairline, the part, and in motion. Add five minutes with a curling wand and it looks even better.
Not too fussy. Not too messy. Just right.
