I love this topper. I must say it doesn't look like the picture because the model has longer bio hair under the topper. The piece I received lays flatter in the front than what is pictured as well.
I had viewed many YouTube videos of this topper along with many other Raquel toppers, so I knew what to expect. I love the style and the color placement on "Crave the Wave". And I love the cap, I secure all my toppers with a Milano Top Grip, made for toppers; to protect my bio hair, this cap works great with their large size top grip.
I ordered this topper in Shaded Cappuccino, my favorite Raquel color. It's absolutely beautiful. Raquel Welsh did a great job with this one. The color "recipe" will vary according to the topper or wig you select. I have four various toppers in Raquel Welsh Shaded Cappuccino, and they all look different.
I have a Top Billing 12" that I use mostly in summer as a simple updo with a small claw clip. My Top billing is still going strong after three years, I think because I never wear it down (I didn't want to cut my bio hair that short). Also, I don't wear alternative hair at home unless I'm expecting visitors.
I will absolutely be wearing this one down as it will blend easier with my longer bio hair due to the waves.
I hesitated on this piece because I'm older and thought the middle part might not work for me, I'm so happy I gave it a try!
If you're hesitant on this topper take a look at some YouTube videos, it really helped me to decide on this…
