Raven by Kim Kimble: Long, Layered Barrel Curl Waves with a Glamorous Edge
If you've been searching for a long, dramatic wig that turns heads without weighing you down, the Raven by Kim Kimble is worth a close look. Designed to "unleash your inner mermaid," Raven delivers flowing, layered barrel curl waves in a lightweight, versatile package that works just as beautifully at a special event as it does on a regular Tuesday.
Style & Length
Raven is built around a glamorous, model-inspired silhouette. The barrel curl waves cascade through multiple lengths — 15 inches at the front, 18 inches at the crown, sides, and back, and a sweeping 20 inches at the nape — creating a layered, full-bodied look with serious presence.
Beyond the signature waves, Raven is versatile enough to wear in multiple ways:
- Smoothed straight for a sleek, polished finish
- Braided for a bohemian or casual look
- Styled into an updo for formal occasions
Cap Construction
Raven's cap is engineered for both a natural appearance and all-day comfort. Key construction details include:
- Temple-to-Temple Sheer Lace Front: Creates a seamless, undetectable hairline from temple to temple
- Monofilament Top: Allows the hair to move naturally in any direction and mimics the look of a real scalp
- Velvet-Lined Ear Tabs: Minimize irritation against sensitive skin
- Extended Nape: Provides additional coverage and a more natural fall at the back
- Comb Attachments at Nape and Ear Tabs: Keep the wig securely in place without the need for adhesives
The cap is sized for an average fit. Use the Wig Size Chart to confirm your measurements before ordering.
Fiber & Heat Styling
Raven is made with Tru2Life heat-friendly synthetic fiber, which means you can reach for your flat iron, curling wand, or blow dryer to customize the style. You can redefine the barrel curls, smooth the waves straight, or experiment with entirely new looks — all without committing to a single style forever. Always begin with a lower heat setting and test a small section first.

Who Is Raven Best For?
Raven is a strong match for anyone who loves long, voluminous waves and wants the flexibility to switch up their style. Its layered length complements oval, heart, and square face shapes particularly well. The monofilament top and lace front also make it a thoughtful choice for wearers experiencing hair loss, offering a natural-looking scalp appearance and a seamless hairline without requiring adhesives.

Care & Maintenance
To keep Raven looking its best, wash the wig every 10–15 wears using a sulfate-free shampoo formulated for synthetic hair. Work the shampoo through gently in a downward motion, rinse with cool water, and avoid rubbing or wringing. Apply a lightweight synthetic conditioner, then allow the wig to air-dry on a wig stand to preserve the barrel curl wave pattern. Store it on a wig stand away from direct sunlight, and detangle gently after each wear. With consistent care, Raven typically lasts four to six months with daily wear — or longer when rotated with other wigs.
