Mesmerized by Raquel Welch

Mesmerized by Raquel Welch

Put on Mesmerized by Raquel Welch and you are wearing the closest thing a synthetic wig gets to a perfect blowout. Long, straight, smooth layers that fall to the mid-back. A side-sweeping fringe that frames your face from the moment you put it on. The kind of polished, tailored finish that looks like you just left a salon — without the appointment, the time, or the effort. At 5.4 oz with a 100% hand-tied base throughout, Sheer Indulgence™ temple-to-temple lace front, and full monofilament top, Mesmerized is the long straight style that wears as naturally as it looks. Pull it into a ponytail. Wear it half-up. Style it with heat into waves or curls. Or simply put it on and go — because it arrives ready to wear, straight from the box, already looking like you took care of it.

The Silhouette: Long, Straight, and Polished to Mid-Back

Professional Blowout Character at 16"

Mesmerized's measurements tell the full length story: 8" at the front fringe, 15.5" at the crown, 13.5" at the sides, 16" at the back, 15" at the nape. The 16" back measurement places the style at true mid-back length on most wearers — genuine long hair, not just below-the-shoulder. The texture throughout is straight and smooth — the polished, glossy character of a fresh professional blowout, not a wavy or textured style. Medium-thick density at this length produces the weight and swing that makes the straight layers fall and move correctly: full enough to feel substantial, light enough at 5.4 oz to wear all day without fatigue.

Side-Sweeping Fringe

The side-sweeping layered fringe at 8" is the style's face-framing front detail — a long, directional sweep that frames the face and gives Mesmerized its specific modern, salon-finished character rather than the plain look of an unstyled long straight wig. The full monofilament top's parting flexibility means the fringe can be directed left or right depending on the wearer's preference, and the Sheer Indulgence™ lace front ensures the hairline remains natural-looking wherever the fringe falls.

Ponytail and Half-Up Styling — Both Confirmed

The 100% hand-tied base and extended Sheer Indulgence™ lace front specifically enable ponytail and half-up styling — confirmed across all sources, and a meaningful distinction from long wigs on wefted or partially wefted caps. When the hair is pulled back, the hand-tied construction at the crown and sides does not reveal cap seams, and the temple-to-temple lace front maintains a natural hairline from ear to ear even with the front sections swept back. For buyers who regularly wear their hair pulled back, this is the construction that makes it possible.

Cap Construction: 100% Hand-Tied Throughout

Hand-Tied Base Throughout — Including Sides and Back

Every hair in the Mesmerized cap is individually hand-knotted — across the crown, sides, back, and nape. This is not a wig with a hand-tied monofilament top and wefted sides and back: the hand-tied construction extends throughout the entire cap. At 16" of back length, this produces the freely-moving, natural-falling quality that makes Mesmerized look and feel like real hair from every angle. The hair at the sides and back responds to movement rather than holding preset weft-determined directions, and the result is a long straight style that shifts and falls naturally with the wearer throughout the day.

Sheer Indulgence™ Temple-to-Temple Lace Front

The Sheer Indulgence™ lace front extends temple-to-temple across the full visible front hairline. Each hair is individually hand-tied to the sheer lace and appears to grow directly from the scalp — virtually invisible when correctly placed. For the side-sweeping fringe and ponytail styling that Mesmerized is specifically designed for, the temple-to-temple span ensures the full hairline remains undetectable in every configuration the style supports.

Full Monofilament Top and Memory Cap® III

The full monofilament top provides natural scalp simulation and multi-directional parting flexibility across the entire crown — center, side, or anywhere between, with no fixed-part restriction. The Memory Cap® III base uses silicone-coated stretch lace that molds to the head within the first hour of wear. Non-slip silicone at the front, crown, and nape provides three-point grip across the full cap interior — particularly important at 5.4 oz and 16" of back length where the long fiber creates downward pull at the nape. Velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape add soft, comfortable contact at the perimeter. Bendable ear tabs conform to the wearer's ear contour. Adjustable band provides up to ½" of circumference adjustment.

Tru2Life® Fiber: Heat Styling and Care

Tru2Life® is heat-styleable up to 350°F / 180°C — recommended everyday range 275°F–300°F. Mesmerized arrives straight and polished out of the box, ready to wear without any styling. Heat tools allow the style to be redirected: a large-barrel curling wand creates soft waves or curls throughout the long length; a flat iron refreshes or enhances the straight presentation. Hold curls for 60 seconds in the styling device and allow to cool before releasing — any configuration set with heat locks in until heat-styled again or washed. Always apply heat protectant before tool contact.

One honest pre-purchase note for long straight synthetic styles: at 16" of straight fiber, tangling from daily wear and friction is a real consideration. Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb from ends to root before and after wearing. A light conditioning spray on the ends helps maintain fiber smoothness between washes. Never brush while wet. Buyers who invest a few minutes in daily detangling will find Mesmerized wears beautifully for months.

For washing: soak in cool water with synthetic wig shampoo for 3–5 minutes — do not exceed 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in the direction of the fiber. Press out water with a towel without wringing. Do not spray conditioner directly on hand-tied areas — moisture can loosen hand-tied knots over time. Air dry on a wig stand. The straight style returns as the fiber dries.

Available Colors

Mesmerized is available in 25+ shades from Raquel Welch's RL (Luxe) and SS (Shadow Shade) color ranges. SS Shadow Shade colors feature a natural dark root depth at the part and hairline — the recommended choice for the full monofilament top's scalp simulation to read most convincingly. The RL range provides multi-dimensional, hand-blended highlights across the full 16" length that read as naturally colored rather than uniformly dyed.

A selection of available colors: 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 · RL13/88 Golden Pecan · RL14/22 Pale Gold Wheat · RL14/25 Honey Ginger · RL16/22 Iced Sweet Cream · RL19/23 Biscuit · RL29/25 Golden Russet · RL30/27 Rusty Auburn · RL32/31 Cinnabar · RL38 Smoke · SS8/29 Shaded Hazelnut · SS14/22 Shaded Wheat · SS17/23 Shaded Iced Latte Macchiato · SS19/23 Shaded Biscuit · SS29/33 Iced Pumpkin Spice

Who Should Wear Mesmerized

The long straight-hair buyer who wants salon-polished results every day. Mesmerized is for the buyer whose long-hair vision is smooth, straight, and tailored — not wavy, textured, or undone. The professional blowout character is the style's specific identity, and at 16" of straight medium-thick layers it delivers that look as convincingly as a heat-friendly synthetic wig can.

The ponytail and half-up wearer. The 100% hand-tied base and extended Sheer Indulgence™ lace front are specifically what make pulled-back styling possible in a long wig. If you regularly wear your hair in a ponytail or half-up and want a wig that accommodates that naturally, Mesmerized is built for it.

The heat-styling enthusiast who wants a straight base to work from. The factory-set straight configuration is the starting point — a flat iron, curling wand, or blow dryer at the recommended range transforms it into waves, curls, or an enhanced sleek presentation. Any style created with heat locks in until heat-styled again or washed.

Women managing hair loss. The 100% hand-tied base is gentle against sensitive scalps with no weft seam pressure. 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 non-slip silicone provides secure all-day coverage without adhesive. The velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape are gentle at the perimeter contact points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mesmerized's hand-tied base throughout the entire cap, or only at the top?
Throughout the entire cap — including sides and back. Every hair in the cap is individually hand-knotted, not just at the monofilament top and lace front. This is what makes ponytail and half-up styling possible without revealing construction at the crown or sides.

Can I actually pull Mesmerized into a ponytail?
Yes — confirmed across all sources. The 100% hand-tied base and extended Sheer Indulgence™ temple-to-temple lace front are specifically what enable this. The hairline remains natural-looking even with the front sections swept back.

Is Mesmerized a wavy or straight style?
Straight. The factory-set configuration is a smooth, polished, straight blowout. Heat tools can add waves or curls, but the style arrives straight and returns to straight after washing.

Does Mesmerized tangle?
At 16" of straight synthetic fiber, daily wear friction does cause tangling — this is normal for long straight synthetic styles and not a defect. Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb from ends to root before and after wearing. A light conditioning spray on the ends between washes helps significantly.

Is Mesmerized 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 style set with heat locks in until heat-styled again or washed.

Is Mesmerized suitable for women with hair loss?
Yes. The Sheer Indulgence™ lace front creates an undetectable hairline. The full monofilament top provides natural scalp simulation with multi-directional parting. The 100% hand-tied base is gentle on sensitive scalps. The Memory Cap® III provides secure coverage without adhesive. The velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape are gentle at the perimeter.
