Cap Construction: Memory Cap II

The Winner Ultra Petite is built on Raquel Welch's Memory Cap II — a wefted capless design featuring fine stretch lace throughout. The stretch lace gently molds to your head over time, creating a personalized, secure fit without the need for adhesives or adjustments.

• Cap type: Memory Cap II (Capless)
• Cap size: Ultra Petite (~20.5" and under)
• Weight: Just 1.75 oz
• Construction: Open weft for enhanced airflow and breathability

The open weft construction promotes circulation, making this cap exceptionally comfortable for extended daily wear — including for those with sensitive scalps. At only 1.75 oz, it's one of the lighter options in Raquel Welch's lineup. Unsure about your head circumference? Refer to the MyHairMail Wig Size Chart for step-by-step measuring guidance.

Fiber & Styling: Kanekalon Vibralite Synthetic

The Winner Ultra Petite uses Kanekalon Vibralite synthetic fiber — a modacrylic fiber exclusive to HairUWear. Vibralite is engineered to mimic the texture and natural movement of protein-rich hair, delivering a softer, more realistic feel than standard synthetic fiber.

Important: Vibralite is not heat-friendly. Curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers will damage the fiber. The good news: the factory-set style holds beautifully on its own and refreshes easily with finger-styling or a wide-tooth comb — true wash-and-wear convenience. Learn more about synthetic fiber options on the MyHairMail Wig Fiber Guide.

Who Is the Winner Ultra Petite For?

This wig is an excellent fit if you:

• Have a smaller head circumference (approximately 20.5" and under)
• Want a low-maintenance, wash-and-wear pixie cut
• Prefer a lightweight cap that's gentle on a sensitive scalp
• Are managing hair loss and need a breathable, comfortable all-day option
• Love a bold, modern short style with no heat-styling required

The Winner also comes in Petite (~20.5"–21"), Average (~21"–22"), and Large (~22" and over) cap sizes if the Ultra Petite isn't your fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Winner Ultra Petite by Raquel Welch heat-friendly?

No. The Winner Ultra Petite uses Kanekalon Vibralite synthetic fiber, which is not heat-friendly. You should never use curling irons, flat irons, or blow dryers on this wig. The style is factory-set and designed to hold its shape with simple finger-styling or a wide-tooth comb, making it a truly effortless wash-and-wear option.

How do I know if the ultra-petite cap size is right for me?

Measure your head circumference at the hairline. If your measurement is approximately 20.5 inches or under, the ultra-petite cap is likely your best fit. For a full measurement walkthrough and brand-specific sizing details, visit the MyHairMail Wig Size Chart. The Winner style is also available in petite, average, and large cap sizes.

Is the Winner Ultra Petite suitable for hair loss or sensitive scalps?

Yes. The Memory Cap II's open weft construction promotes airflow for a cooler, more breathable wear, and the wig weighs just 1.75 oz — making it exceptionally gentle for all-day use. The stretch lace molds to your head for a secure fit without pressure points, which is particularly beneficial for those experiencing hair loss or scalp sensitivity.

What is the difference between Vibralite and Tru2Life fiber?

Vibralite fiber, used in the Winner Ultra Petite, delivers a natural, soft feel but cannot be restyled with heat tools. Tru2Life fiber, found in other Raquel Welch styles, can be restyled using low heat. The Winner Ultra Petite exclusively uses Vibralite. For a full comparison of synthetic fiber types, see the MyHairMail Wig Fiber Guide.
