Power by Raquel Welch

Power by Raquel Welch

Power by Raquel Welch is a confirmed best-seller — and one wear makes it easy to understand why wearers keep coming back. A whimsical, edgy boy cut crafted with all-over texture, Power gives you two looks in one: wear it spiky for a bold, attitude-forward statement, or smooth it down for a clean, polished short crop. A small amount of BeautiMark Shaping Creme or your preferred styling product on the ends is all it takes to achieve the spiky look — no heat tools, no complicated routine. The ready-to-wear Vibralite® synthetic hair looks and feels like natural hair straight out of the box. The open wefted capless construction provides exceptional breathability and scalp ventilation for a cooler, more comfortable all-day wearing experience. At just 1.75 oz, Power is one of the lightest styles in the entire Signature Collection. Bold. Positive. Wonderful. Power is also the recommended replacement for the discontinued Dash.

What Makes Power Work

Spiky or Smooth — Two Looks, One Style

Power's most specific and most documented quality is its two-mode versatility: the same style worn two genuinely different ways. For spiky: apply a small amount of BeautiMark Shaping Creme or water-soluble styling product to the ends and front layers, then shape with fingers into the desired spiky configuration. For smooth: finger-comb the all-over texture flat and let the Vibralite® pre-set settle naturally into a clean, close-cropped presentation. No heat tools needed for either mode — the permatease crown's built-in structural lift provides the foundation for both. The mode switch takes seconds. The result for each is genuinely different.

All-Over Texture and the Permatease Crown

Power's "all over texture" — confirmed in Wigs.com's best-seller description — is the result of the permatease crown construction combined with the Vibralite® fiber's natural, slightly irregular texture throughout the style. The permatease at the crown provides the permanent structural lift and volume at the root that makes the spiky mode possible and gives the smooth mode its naturally elevated, full-crowned character. This built-in lift is consistent and permanent — it requires no daily backcombing and restores naturally after every wash. Power is ready to wear every single time.

Open Wefted Breathability

Power's capless open wefted construction creates the better air ventilation and scalp cooling that Wigs.com specifically highlights as a key feature. The open weft panels allow continuous airflow throughout the cap — no dense structural layers trapping heat, no closed cap creating warmth during extended wear. For wearers who run warm, who are physically active, or who live in warm climates, Power's open construction at 1.75 oz provides the most breathable possible short style experience at this weight in the Signature Collection.

Vibralite® Fiber: Natural-Looking, Pre-Set, Shake-and-Go

Power uses Kanekalon Vibralite® synthetic fiber — pre-styled, ready to wear straight from the box, and specifically formulated to simulate the natural look and feel of protein-rich hair. Vibralite® is not heat-styleable — flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers will permanently damage the fiber. The all-over texture and the spiky-or-smooth character are pre-set and return consistently after every wash without heat tools. This is the entire daily routine: shake, finger-style or add product, wear.

Memory Cap® Base: Molds to Your Head

Power's Memory Cap® uses cool, lightweight stretch lace that literally memorizes and molds to the shape of the wearer's head — providing a custom-like fit from a ready-to-wear style. Adjustable velcro tabs allow circumference customization up to half an inch. At 1.75 oz on a cap that has conformed to the individual head shape, Power creates the genuinely forgettable wearing experience that is the hallmark of a well-fitted, well-weighted short style.

Available Colors

Power is available in Raquel Welch's comprehensive R-series, S+, and SS Shadow Shade color range — confirmed as particularly beautiful in gray and silver shades. Wigs.com specifically notes Power "comes in beautiful shades of grey," making it one of the most popular short styles for silver and gray wearers in the Signature Collection. Featured colors: R28S Glazed Fire (vibrant reddish-brown with auburn highlights) and R119G Gradient Smoke (light brown with 80% gray at the front, gradually blending to 50% gray at the nape — a progressive gray gradient that is particularly striking in Power's closely cropped construction).

Confirmed community colors from Wigs.com include R3025S Glazed Cinnamon, SS14/88 Shaded Golden Wheat, R10 Chestnut, R6/30H Chocolate Copper, and R56/60 Silver Mist. The SS Shadow Shade colors add natural-looking darker root depth at Power's permatease crown — exactly where color dimension is most visible and most effective in this short, close-cropped style.

Who Should Wear Power?

• Best-seller seekers who want the most consistently beloved short edgy boy cut in the Raquel Welch Signature Collection
• Wearers who want the genuine choice between spiky and smooth from the same style — no heat tools, just product and fingers
• Former Dash wearers looking for the confirmed recommended replacement — same bold, closely cropped capless energy
• Silver and gray color wearers — Wigs.com specifically highlights Power's beautiful gray shade range; R119G Gradient Smoke is a particularly striking choice in this construction
• Breathability-first active wearers who need an open capless construction at minimum weight
• Medical wig wearers who want an ultra-light, breathable short style — at 1.75 oz with capless open construction, Power is among the gentlest available for sensitive scalps; note it does not have a lace front or monofilament top

Care & Maintenance

Power uses Kanekalon Vibralite® fiber. Not heat-styleable — no flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers.

• Daily styling: Fingers or a pick comb only; do not brush; apply BeautiMark Shaping Creme or water-soluble styling product to ends for spiky look; finger-comb smooth for the polished mode
• Washing: Every 6–10 wears; 1 tablespoon wig shampoo in cool water; soak 5 minutes; rinse thoroughly; do not rub
• Drying: Dab gently with a towel — do not squeeze, wring, or twist the cap; air dry on an open wig stand only — never a solid head stand or block which will stretch the cap; do not brush or comb while wet
• Storage: Wig stand away from direct sunlight and heat sources

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Power heat friendly?
No. Vibralite® fiber is not heat-styleable. Heat tools permanently damage the fiber. The spiky-or-smooth character is achieved with fingers and optional styling product — no heat tools needed or appropriate.

Does Power have a lace front or monofilament?
No. Power is a capless basic wefted construction with a standard perimeter hairline. For wearers who specifically need a lace front and monofilament top in a short style, Fanfare by Raquel Welch (lace front + full monofilament top, 2.2 oz) is the appropriate alternative.

Is Power the replacement for Dash?
Yes — Power is the confirmed recommended replacement for the discontinued Dash by Raquel Welch. Former Dash wearers consistently find Power the most appropriate transition in terms of silhouette, construction, and character.

What product do I use for the spiky look?
BeautiMark Shaping Creme is the specifically confirmed product recommendation from Wigs.com for Power's spiky styling. Any water-soluble styling gel or shaping product designed for synthetic fiber works equally well. Apply a small amount to the ends and front layers and shape with fingers.
