10 Short Raquel Welch Wigs at a Glance

There isn't one short wig that's ideal for everyone. The right choice depends on whether you prefer a pixie, bangs, additional crown volume, a lace front, heat-friendly fiber or an especially lightweight cap.

“Not listed” means the product information does not identify the fiber as heat-friendly. Avoid hot styling tools unless the manufacturer confirms that the fiber can safely accept heat.

1. Voltage by Raquel Welch: Short Layers With Versatile Styling

The Raquel Welch Voltage wig features short, barely waved layers throughout. The cut can be finger styled with more volume and texture or smoothed into a sleeker short hairstyle.
