Voltage by Raquel Welch – Petite: A Short, Chic Wig Built for Everyday Confidence

Meet the Voltage by Raquel Welch - Petite — a short, salon-inspired wig that delivers effortless style and all-day comfort in a lightweight, custom-fitting package. Designed for smaller head circumferences, the Petite cap brings modern sophistication to any occasion without sacrificing comfort or versatility.

Style & Design

Voltage features barely waved layers cut into a short, chic silhouette. This pre-set style transitions easily from sleek and smooth to tousled and textured — no heat tools required. Whether you're heading to a special event or running everyday errands, the cut adapts to your mood and lifestyle with minimal effort.

Cap Construction

The Voltage Petite is built on Raquel Welch's signature Memory Cap® technology, which gently conforms to the contours of your head for a secure, custom-like fit without clips or excessive adjustment. An extended nape provides enhanced coverage at the neck for a seamless, natural-looking finish along the hairline.

  • Cap Size: Petite (also available in Average and Large)
  • Cap Features: Memory Cap® with extended nape
  • Weight: Ultra-light at 2.35 oz

Fiber & Styling

Voltage is crafted from Kanekalon Vibralite® synthetic fiber, engineered to mimic the look and feel of natural hair. The fiber holds the style's shape beautifully and is easy to manage day to day. Because Kanekalon Vibralite® is a synthetic fiber, direct heat styling tools are not recommended — the style is pre-set and can be refreshed with gentle finger-styling or a wide-tooth comb.

Care & Maintenance

Keeping Voltage looking its best is straightforward with a simple routine:

  • Washing: Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild shampoo formulated for synthetic wigs. Rinse thoroughly without wringing or rubbing, then air dry on a wig stand.
  • Styling: Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush designed for synthetic fibers. Finger-styling works well for refreshing the barely waved texture.
  • Storage: Store on a wig stand to maintain the style's shape between wears.
  • Frequency: Washing every 6–8 wears, or as needed, keeps the wig fresh and extends its lifespan.

With proper care, Voltage typically lasts four to six months with daily wear — and significantly longer with occasional use.
