Wig Care and Styling Guide for Tru2Life Heat-Friendly Fibers

Keep your Raquel Welch and Gabor Tru2Life heat friendly synthetic wigs and hair toppers looking their best with proper wig care and maintenance. Designed to mimic the look and feel of natural hair, Tru2Life fiber is lightweight, soft, and heat-friendly—giving you the freedom to curl, straighten, or blow dry your style with tools up to 350°F (180°C).

Follow these expert tips to extend the life of your wig and maintain its beautiful finish.


Before You Begin

  • Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb—never use a brush.
  • Always start from the ends and work toward the base to avoid fiber damage.
  • Be especially careful with lace front wigs, as the lace is delicate and can tear with excessive pulling.
  • Avoid sudden heat exposure (e.g., ovens) as it may melt synthetic fibers.
  • Do not sleep, shower, or swim while wearing a synthetic wig.

How to Wash Tru2Life Wigs

Pre-Wash / Detangling Your Wig or Topper

  • Gently remove tangles with a wide-tooth comb.

Washing Your Wig or Topper

  • Fill a basin with cool water and add 1 tbsp of HairUWear CLEANSE shampoo.
  • Soak wig for 3–5 minutes. Do not agitate or scrub the fibers and do not soak for more than 5 minutes. Soaking longer than 5 minutes can damage the wig or hairpiece.
  • Rinse thoroughly under cool water, allowing the water to run in the direction of the fibers. Gently press out water with a towel—do not wring.

Conditioning Your Wig or Topper

  • Lightly mist the ends with HairUWear RESTORE and comb through using a wide tooth comb.
  • Avoid spraying directly on hand-tied areas to prevent the hand tied knots from loosening.

Drying Your Wig or Topper

  • Place on a wig stand to air dry.
  • Hand-tied hairpieces should dry flat on a towel.
  • Do not use a solid mannequin head or canvas block head, as this may stretch the cap and disrupt air flow to dry the interior of the cap.

Styling Heat-Friendly Synthetic Hair

  • Once dry, shake and finger-style the wig for a natural look.
  • Use HairUWear PROTECT before applying heat.
  • Set heat tools to low–medium (max 350°F/180°C). We recommend styling at 270°F to 280°F.
  • To curl: wrap a 1" section around a curling iron, hold 10 seconds, clip to set while cooling.
  • To straighten: run a flat iron down a 1" section and let cool.
  • Once heat-styled, Tru2Life® fiber retains its shape—even after washing.
  • Refresh curls or waves by spritzing a 50/50 mix of RESTORE and water.

Maintenance Tips

  • After each use, gently finger-comb or use a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles.
  • Refresh your style and neutralize odors with HairUWear REFRESH spray.
  • Store on a wig stand or clip onto a hanger to prevent kinks.
  • Only finger-style wavy or curly wigs when dry to preserve the texture.
  • For frizz or matting: wash, condition with RESTORE, and detangle gently from ends up using a wide tooth comb.

Gorgeous

"Love this wig. I ordered Shaded Wheat. It's now my new favorite style and color. It's beautiful. And Wig Studio 1 is my new favorite place to shop. Their customer service is by far the best I've experienced so far."

— Barbara B. (5/5)

Bangs stick straight out

"Wig studio 1 is really good place to purchase wigs but I dislike this wig so much and wasted my money buying it, I’ve tried a hot comb, blow dry, steam and the bangs still stick out straight ."

— Regina P. (1/5)

I love the style.

"I love the style. What I dont love is how thin the hair is on the nape of neck and at the front where the lace is. The hair is excessively thick on the right side of crown and will not lay down. I have sprayed water and used mild heat and it will not respond. I thinned it and keep working with it and its better but not right. This wig is not the quality Ive experienced with previous Raquel Welch wigs and it should. Im disappointed."

— Pamela F. (3/5)

Perfect for my head shape

"As an older woman with a long face, I need a longer wig than a pixie/short to balance my face out -- but I feel weird in a wig that is extremely ""thick and hairy"" -- this one is perfect -- gives me face framing, a little thin length, and a thin bang. Perfect for my face"

— Vickie C. (5/5)

Black tie chic

"It’s very hard to style. I want to like this wig. I’ll keep trying since I have it but won’t buy again."

— Dawn S. (3/5)

Comfortable & Stylish

"This is such a comfortable wig … just put it on and go… the length is perfect"

— Eva R. (5/5)

Didn't care for it. Returned

"Seemed like there was way too much hair and I didn't feel comfortable. I don't think I could style it. I prefer Reese."

— Cynthia O. (2/5)

Stunningly beautiful wig!
