Untold Story by Raquel Welch

Untold Story by Raquel Welch

Untold Story by Raquel Welch gives you the kind of hair day that looks like you did everything and did nothing at all. A sweeping eyelash bang frames your face the moment you put it on. Textured ends with a subtle flip give the above-shoulder layers their movement and lift. And at just 4 oz — with every single hair individually hand-tied throughout the entire cap — it sits on your head so lightly and moves so naturally that you may genuinely forget you are wearing a wig. The Sheer Indulgence™ temple-to-temple lace front disappears at your hairline. The full monofilament top lets you part wherever you want, whenever you want. The Memory Cap® III holds it all in place with non-slip silicone at the front, crown, and nape — no adhesive, no fuss, all day. This is what carefree elegance actually feels like.

The Silhouette: Above-Shoulder Layered Bob With Two Defining Details

The Sweeping Eyelash Bang

At 8.5" of front length, the eyelash bang is a face-framing fringe that grazes the lash line — longer and softer than a traditional short fringe bang, with a sweep that can be directed left, right, or center using the full monofilament top's parting flexibility. It is the style's most visible front feature and the detail most responsible for Untold Story's specific face-framing, modern character. Minor heat adjustment on first wear is typically needed to direct the bang into the preferred position — the warm hands technique (press a warm palm on the bang for 10–15 seconds) or a low heat pass at the recommended range both work. Buyers who specifically avoid any styling involvement on first wear should factor this in.

Textured Ends With a Subtle Flip

The textured flip at the ends is a confirmed design feature — intentional, not accidental. It gives the above-shoulder layers their specific character: not a blunt, flat-falling perimeter, but a textured tip that lifts slightly at the ends and adds movement and dimension to the silhouette. For buyers who want a flat-falling end, a flat iron at the recommended range smooths the flip into a flatter finish. The flip re-sets after washing as the fiber dries. Buyers who love the flip will find it is the detail that makes Untold Story's layered bob read as fresh and current rather than plain.

Body Without Bulk at 4 oz

The confirmed description is "natural-looking layers that deliver body without bulk." At 4 oz with a 100% hand-tied base, this is not a paradox — it is the specific quality that hand-tied construction at this weight produces. The layers look weighty and voluminous from the outside. The wig weighs almost nothing on the head. Confirmed buyer experience: "not a heavy wig, but the layers look weighty — there is volume and a subtle thickness." The appearance-to-weight ratio is Untold Story's most distinctive practical quality.

Cap Construction: 100% Hand-Tied Throughout

The Full Hand-Tied Base — Sides and Back Included

Untold Story's most significant construction distinction is that the 100% hand-tied base extends throughout the entire cap — including the sides and back, not just the monofilament top and lace front. Every hair throughout the entire cap is individually hand-tied, allowing free movement from every angle rather than being held in fixed weft directions. The practical result: the layers at the sides and back move naturally with the wearer rather than falling in directions predetermined by weft seam placement. This is the construction that produces the "unstructured, uncontrived" quality the confirmed brand language names — and it is what separates Untold Story from Signature Collection styles with wefted sides and back.

Sheer Indulgence™ Temple-to-Temple Lace Front

The Sheer Indulgence™ lace front runs temple-to-temple across the full visible front hairline. Each hair is individually hand-tied to the sheer lace base and appears to grow directly from the scalp at the perimeter — virtually invisible at the hairline when correctly placed. The temple-to-temple span ensures the full hairline width remains undetectable regardless of how the eyelash bang is positioned or whether the front sections are swept back for off-the-face styling.

Full Monofilament Top

The monofilament top extends across the full crown area with individually hand-tied fibers, providing natural scalp simulation and multi-directional parting flexibility across the entire top of the head. The part can be placed anywhere — center, side, or open fringe — with no fixed-part restriction and natural-looking scalp appearance at every placement.

Memory Cap® III and Three-Point Non-Slip Silicone

The Memory Cap® III uses silicone-coated stretch lace that molds to the head for a secure, custom-like fit. The non-slip silicone is confirmed at three points — front, crown, and nape — providing grip across the full interior of the cap. At 4 oz, the three-point silicone is what keeps the style stable throughout the day without relying on cap weight for security. Bendable ear tabs flex to the wearer's ear contour for a discreet fit. Velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape add a soft contact surface at the perimeter. Adjustable band provides up to ½" of circumference adjustment within the average cap range.

Tru2Life® Fiber: Heat Styling and Care

Tru2Life® is Raquel Welch's heat-defiant synthetic fiber — engineered for heat tools up to 350°F / 180°C. The factory-set style is ready-to-wear straight from the box. Heat tools allow the bang to be redirected, the flip to be smoothed or enhanced, or the layers to be curled into a different configuration. Recommended range: 275°F–300°F for everyday styling. Hold curls for 60 seconds in the styling device, pin, and allow to cool completely before releasing — the style sets as the fiber cools. Any configuration set with heat locks in until heat-styled again or washed. Always apply heat protectant before tool contact.

For washing: soak in cool water with synthetic wig shampoo for up to 5 minutes — do not exceed 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, press out water with a towel without wringing, and air dry on a wig stand. Avoid applying conditioner or product directly on the hand-tied areas — moisture on hand-tied knots can loosen them over time. The factory-set style returns as the fiber dries.

Available Colors

Untold Story is available in 25+ shades from Raquel Welch's RL (Luxe) and SS (Shadow Shade) ranges. SS Shadow Shade colors feature a natural dark root depth at the part and hairline — the most realistic choice for the full monofilament top's scalp simulation. The range includes RL119 Silver and Smoke (light brown with 80% gray in front, gradually into 50% gray toward the nape) — a specifically rare and natural-looking transitional gray option in the Signature Collection.

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 · RL14/22 Pale Golden Wheat · RL14/25 Honey Ginger · RL16/22 Iced Sweet Cream · RL19/23 Biscuit · RL29/25 Golden Russet · RL30/27 Rusty Auburn · RL32/31 Cinnabar · RL33/35 Deepest Ruby · RL38 Smoke · RL119 Silver and Smoke · SS8/29 Shaded Hazelnut · SS14/22 Shaded Wheat · SS16/21 Shaded Sand · SS17/23 Iced Latte Macchiato

Color note: SS16/21 Shaded Sand has received mixed buyer feedback on color accuracy — some buyers have found it darker and less highlighted than product photography suggests. Ask Angela℠ for guidance on current stock before ordering this shade.

Who Should Wear Untold Story

The lightest-weight fully-constructed Signature Collection buyer. For buyers who need premium construction — full monofilament top, temple-to-temple lace front, completely hand-tied base — but have struggled with the weight of heavier styles, Untold Story delivers maximum construction at 4 oz. No other fully hand-tied style in the Signature Collection is lighter.

The eyelash bang devotee. The sweeping eyelash bang combined with the full monofilament top's parting flexibility — direct it left, right, or center — gives buyers who love a face-framing lash-length fringe the construction quality to make it look fully convincing at the hairline.

Women managing hair loss. Multiple confirmed sources position Untold Story specifically for hair loss wearers. 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. The three-point non-slip silicone provides secure adhesive-free coverage. At 4 oz it is one of the lightest fully-constructed options in the Signature Collection.

The sensitive scalp wearer. The 100% hand-tied construction eliminates the hard weft seam lines that press against the scalp in wefted caps. Combined with the velvet-lined ear tabs and extended nape, Untold Story is one of the most scalp-comfortable constructions available in the Signature Collection at any price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 100% hand-tied base throughout the entire cap, or only at the top?
Throughout the entire cap — including sides and back, not just the monofilament top and lace front. Every hair in the cap is individually hand-tied. This is Untold Story's most significant construction distinction from styles with wefted sides and back.

What should I expect from the eyelash bang on first wear?
The bang typically needs minor heat adjustment to sit in the preferred direction on first wear. The warm hands technique (press a warm palm flat on the bang for 10–15 seconds) or a low heat pass with a flat iron at 275°F–300°F can redirect it. The bang can be swept left, right, or worn as a center-open fringe using the monofilament top's parting flexibility.

What about the textured flip at the ends?
The flip is a design feature — intentional. It re-sets after washing as the fiber dries. A flat iron at the recommended range smooths it into a flatter finish for buyers who prefer that. Buyers who love it will find it is what gives the above-shoulder layers their distinctive, current character.

Is Untold Story 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 Untold Story 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 Memory Cap® III provides secure coverage without adhesive. The 100% hand-tied base is gentle on sensitive scalps. The three-point non-slip silicone provides all-day security at 4 oz without adhesive.

How does the Memory Cap® III differ from what other Signature Collection styles use?
Memory Cap® III is the current generation of Raquel Welch's silicone-coated stretch lace cap technology — an updated version with finer, more flexible stretch lace than the earlier Memory Cap® II. Untold Story uses Memory Cap® III, confirmed by the manufacturer's listing.
