Do you love the look of Raquel Welch Editors Pick, but you're not crazy about the heat friendly fibers?! I have a video coming soon where I will give you a look at 5 SISTER STYLES.. Options are SO GOOD! Happy Sunday all. LOVE TO ALL! XOXO
Editors Pick has become a favorite so Im constantly on the hunt for great deals on that as well a Celebrity and other sister styles. I'm a sucker for curls, which is so funny because I originally swore them off, but now Ive found myself wanting nothing but some for of curls.
I have the elite that I got a few months ago and it not as full as the one you have. This video is interesting about how much things are changing. If I had one request to the companies that make them, it would be to please make them less voluminous so they don’t look like wigs. I would think most would agree, but I don’t know.
Hi Taz! I gave up on my Editor’s. I just couldn’t work with it. I wanted to love it like everyone else seemed to. Then I picked another color, Shaded Biscuit. I held my breath and gently put it on because I thought I would have to return it, well... it looked gorgeous, even on me! I saved it for an elegant formal wedding! I had so many compliments - even the groom at the entrance of the cathedral asked if I had my hair done because he said I looked beautiful! I nodded my head and just said, thank you. As for the size, I was thankful it fit my big head of 22”. The color may have helped. This time it worked for me. Thanks RW and wigstudio1! And thank you, Taz!
I LOVE this! Thank you for sharing Elizabeth! I am so happy you stuck with it and helped it blossom into a style that flattered you so well! Hugs! XOXO
I just received my Editor's Pick in the mail and found out my usual favorite wig has changed. I agree with Taz that it's very poor. Also, it isn't nearly as curly as my first one I purchased so long ago. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. I wish 😪 it would have stayed the same.
Love Editors Pick Taz!! I Love This One Too!! You Look Sooo Gorgeous in Her!! There is Alot of Hair, But I Feel Like There's Sooo Many Ways to Style Her, and for me the More Hair the Better!! Thank You Soooo Much Sweet Friend for a Perfect Video as Always!! Sending Love and Hugs!! Always!! XOXOXO!!
Morning Jackie! Yes, you can use styling to modify the volume to your own specific taste.. fluffy one day, smooth the next!.. "sometimes you feel like a nut"...🎵🎶🎹...lol Hugs and wishes for a wonderful day! XOXO
I purchased my first editors pic because of you Taz. I would watch your review over and over again and I did watch a few overs. Even though I love it and I wore it quite a bit I’ve purchased some other wigs now and it’s not my first go to. I’m watching your video right now and my editors pic looks like the one that you are reviewing. I always felt that it was a little bit big on the sides and on the top and I would find myself patting it down especially after I had seen a picture of myself or looked in the mirror and now that you did the side by side view, I just like the first one so much better. But mine is definitely more like this new one that you’re reviewing as I watch. It looks fabulous on you, but I do prefer the first one. I’ve also had to trim off some of the frizz that happens when it gets too hot against the neck and when I perspire( in the warm Florida sun) . I purchased unfiltered more recently and I actually prefer that one better because it’s not as thick. I have it on in my bio picture but for some reason it’s not showing up. Anyway I love your reviews and your channel. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful info on your knowledge of wigs. It hasn’t even been quite a year yet that I started wearing wigs, but I will always wear them now and rarely ever go out without one. Of Course while I’m home and working in the yard I don’t. Take care, Pam
My Editors Pick is 3 years old now and it still looks like new. I love the style but had to work it in the beginning due to the amount of volume. It is the wig I wear the most and would purchase a replacement when the time is right. Great video comparing the changes the style has gone through.
Thank you so much, Taz, for this EXCELLENT information! What a great review on the best way of caring for our wigs from your depth of experience. I truly appreciate it. Blessings 🥰
This is my favorite wig and favorite color - pale golden honey! it seems to grow- meaning gets fluffier after you wear it too! The cap is large too! I have a 21 inch head. The lace front is truly the best with Rachel Welch brand. Love this color on you! It does get kinda crunchy after a while and is why I usually wear human hair. Just can’t get this style with human hair! The curl is so gorgeous.
Wow Taz I like the look of the older Editors Pick, I don’t know why they have to change things when it was perfect.... maybe your newer one will calm down a bit... great information! Have a wonderful day...🥰
I am so glad I watched this, I thought it was just me. I had watched your original review and decided to order it. When I got it, it was a huge bush of hair that I wore one day and it was already frizzled on the ends. So I decided to order the Elite EP and same thing. I just love the look, but hate how bushy and seemingly dryer fibers it is. I am a 22" circ and it is large on me. It makes me sad that it isnt like your original one.
The new one is quite different to your initial Editors pick and the curl pattern is much nicer on your older Editors Pick. Maybe they’ve changed manufactures in recent times?
So glad to see this. My head is 23” around, but I measure petite from forehead to nape! I have not been able to purchase RW due to their small circumference sizing. I must purchase from the rather small selections available for large heads, and then remove Wefts front to back. I find it easy to remove wefts, so this seems like a win-win. I am wondering if you will remove any volume in this one? It would be fun to see how you trim and thin it. Thanks for a great review!
Hi Taz! I purchased RW Editor's Pick Elite several weeks ago as my FIRST wig and it was definitely because of your wonderful reviews. I love all your reviews and have (probably) watched most of them. I am glad I just saw this review because I have been feeling there is WAY too much hair on this wig for me. I'm petite at 5'1". It is beautiful, though. I purchased a dark red color because I color my very dark ash brown bio hair a red mahogany. Should I just keep "working" the wig to try and get it tamed down? The volume has kept me from trying to wear it out and about. I'm feeling a bit discouraged.
Wow! Thanks for this video. I've worn Editor's Pick since it was first introduced and it is definitely my favorite as well as my go to for an evening out. I just tried on my newest one and was shocked at the BIGNESS of it! I came online to see if I was imagining the difference. Guess not. I really dislike big hair and hate that they have changed EP.
Hi Taz, You inspired me take the plunge and buy my first wig-Editors Pick in Shaded Cappucino. I'm so excited!! Hope it looks as good on me as it does on you! Love your videos and positivity!
Wow, this Editors Pick looks very different from my original E. P. I think I like the original one a bit better. . .looks just a bit more realistic. But everything looks so good on you Taz!
I purchased my editors pick last year and it was a lot of hair so I watched you to learn how to thin it out. The cap seems ok but I have smaller head and would prefer more in petite to average. Mine is in shaded biscuit color also. Luv for summer. Take care.
I agree with you,Taz. EP has (sadly!) changed. I am currently trying make my third EP behave, and not having much success. It's too flat on top, too full on the sides, and the curl is not as defined. I'm SO disappointed as I bought this one to wear to my daughter's wedding. They all take a week or two of training, but this has been a few months and it just will not look like my previous two. :(
Love this wig Taz, i think it's gorgeous on you! And thank you for reviewing the care instructions. I totally agree with being careful with the curls, i would not comb through a wet wig, noway. I really like the volume on this wig, it is beautiful! Thanks Taz, have a bless day!! 💕
WOW that is alot different in volume much more hair. BEAUTIFUL the same but looks like a new STYLE. Much appreciated your review when I purchase a new Editor Pick will know it's going to be alot of volume and size.. that I may have to work on. TAZ you are a great help!❤ Forgot to say just how great this color looks on you Taz .
Was just fixing to purchase a new Editor pick and in the color you are waring also my head size is petite average. So this video is a huge help I really appreciate your help
You are right Taz!! Definitely more hair on your newer Editors Puck. I MUCH prefer your first one, in Shaded Biscuit. I had to send an Editors Pick back because there was too much hair. It swamped my smallish face. Wish I could get an earlier one that was not so bushy. Teddy U.K. xx
Thanks soooo much for this comparison!! I much prefer the older Editors Pick. I’ve been struggling with choosing between Editors Pick and Unfiltered.....Leaning Unfiltered 😊
Taz,, I love my Editors Pick so much, but I would really like a longer version. Could you suggest a wig that is similar but longer ? I never buy a wig unless I see your review, you are the best wig reviewer in my opinion. Thank you for your hard work.
Taz, I'm about to order this because it comes in a LARGE (!!!) and in the color "Iced Sweet Cream" which is unrooted. My choices in large wigs that come unrooted in white or lightest platinum are SO limited. So I can't be choosey. I would have preferred the "Elite" version, but apparently, it does not come in the large size. Thanks for the review.
I like a lot yours video. I am living in Spain, Canary Island. Sorry my english is not so good. I enjoy looking all yours wigs. I am looking to buy RW, Editors is my favorite, but is no easy to find who can send. You help me a lot to decide , also it is wonderful how you explain and shows the colors,, THANK YOU.. KISSES
Great video! My latest Editor's Pick is less hair in Bronzed Sable. It looks and feels like a Belle Tress piece. The couple before that are way more hair! I love this style a top 3 for me! I own several... your other review has me eyeing Celebrity versus Unfiltered as a sister style. Thank you for your reviews!
I know you get these questions all the time, but I can't stop staring at the wig on the top right shelf... which wig is that, and the color? It looks amazing!
Hi Taz! I bought this wig in rooted cappuccino and just received it last week. Thank you so much for your review, I got so many compliments on my hair at the first post-corona party that I went to! I would love to include a photo, but I don't know how.
Hi there! I am thrilled that you love your new Editors Pick!! It brings us to life when we have great hair!! Unfortunately, you cannot attach photos:-) XOXO
Hi Taz, this Editor's Puck does look a lot fuller than the ones you reviewed a few years ago. Regarding the cap, I purchased my first RW wig around 3 years ago, Play it Straight. I have a 21.75 inch circumference and that wig was very tight on my head. I kept checking to be sure they didn't mistakenly send me a small or petite size, but the box and invoice both said it was an average size. I purchased Editors Pick shortly after and the cap fit just fine. But mine did not resemble yours or other reviewers. It was very poofy on the top and I could not calm it down after steaming several times. A few months ago I purchased RW On Point and that average cap is huge. So much that I had to pinch a few areas on the top sew them together to try to flatten the cone that was at the end of the mono part. That was successful, but my adjusters had to be crisscrossed to tighten up the rest of the wig. I love this wig but there is still a lot of loose cap in the back. As always just love your reviews and really appreciate all you do in your reviews. Also glad to hear in your previous video that your son is coming along. Prayers to you and your family that he continues to improve 🙏🙏🙏
I watched your original video on Editor's pick and was really considering ordering it but after seeing how it's changed I'm not so sure now☹ You look lovely in both.
I have heard the new Editors Pick is nappy as opposed to the earlier design. Even on the 1st time wearing it. It is my favorite, as well. Let me know if you have noticed this because I am getting ready to make my 1st purchase. Thank you so very much for turning this problem for women into a blessing. I see the Lord all over your journey.
I have not noticed any nappy-ness.. but this one has always taken some extra maintenance based on the ones I have owned. I de-tangle every time I wear it. Use silicon spray and limit washing:-) XOXO
Thank you for the video! You look Gorgeous as usual! How often do you wash your wig? When is the good time to wash the wig such as worn after 6 or 7 times ? Or when it smells? etc..
I put off washing as long as possible. My clues are usually the fibers feel a bit sticky ( from dust, air, pollutes, etc).. sticky hair doesn't move well XOXO
Hey Taz! Did you ever do a review on the furthest wig on the top right? (if youre looking at the screen) It looks like it has great curls. What wig is that and did you like it?
Hi there. I featured it in my CURLS series.. its ROP Julie in Melted Marshmallow. Its toward the end of the video..th-cam.com/video/lMMazzXAsrw/w-d-xo.html XOXO
Hi Taz, firstly I'd like to tell you that there isn't one wig that does not look good on you. I'm blown away how amazing they all look. Stunning!! I'd just like to ask if you still recommend washing the HD fibre wigs in fabric softner instead of wig shampoo? Thanks Eva
Hello! So.. I have been just using the regular shampoo for synthetic wigs. However, I would not hesitate to do a fabric softener soak if fibers feel a little stiff. I have never had any issues with the cap softening and stretching by using fabric softener. :-)
Taz I also have bought a new RW wig that is way too big. I love the style and color but I am sending it back. I can handle making adjustments to where I don't have to worry about it falling off but I just can not deal with all the extra room in the crown! I just can't be comfortable in it. Do you have any problems with the crown and if so, what do you do about that? There were other styles that I wanted but won't get now. I just expect better when spending nearly $300 on a wig!
Thanks for the comments! It seems I have a little extra room in all wigs around the crown area.. I do not even notice it anymore unless it's more than usual. I have sewn wefts together to reduce bagginess, but prefer not to have to do that kind of surgery on my wigs. Mass produced wigs can be challenging for us petite headed gals, but it's still the best options we have:-) I have noticed many brands going to larger caps.. Estetica, Raquel Welch, Gabor, Hairdo, Belle Tress, Henry Margu....XOXO
That’s how mine was in my very first purchase in a different color over 2 years ago and I haven’t repurchased since. I felt like I had “lion” hair too, just felt big and so fake!
I've bought two of these since spring and the curl pattern is quite different, one is slightly larger than the other. I like raquel wigs because they seem to have that extra room for my 22.5' size head.Mine style differently; one holds a curl much better. I love both of them; this style is in my top three. Beautiful.
This is so helpful, thank you for sharing! I am happy that the variances that you see are appealing to you.. it's nice to have more than one of a favorite style! XOXO
Watch out Dolly Parton, the world is about to be filled with your old look if people buy these. I tried the old style because I had to see what the big fuss was about with Editor's Pick. Was not impressed with it at all. I guess different strokes. Taz you can make a dirty mop look good on your head. Thanks for your great attitude. We love and appreciate all you do on here.
Thank you for all your information in this video , I am just can order Editor Pick wig , but after I saw this video I am scare to have like this new one , I like the previous one which in biscuit shade it look better made so sad 😞 , by the way l like all your videos and l like you
Hey Taz! What glasses are you wearing? Went on readers to find them. I have been searching for that exact style forever!! And you look amazing as always ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Toni! The glasses I am wearing in this segment are discontinued:-( They are from the browline collection.. here is a link if you want to browse.. if you buy don't forget the promo code TAZ35 for 35% off order:-) www.readers.com/browline-glasses.html?sc[Gender][]=275
I personally choose not to use products on my wigs as it attracts dirt and causes it to need washing more often. If you do use products, be sure the products are formulated specifically for synthetic hair.. some natural hair products contain alcohols that will dry and deteriorate a synthetic wig:-) XOXO
TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you! One more question please. How do you make your wigs not so shiny? I got the Ellen Wille Vogue in Bernstein Rooted based on your video. I love it but it is very shiny. Any advice?
I do love this style but am frightened of the heat friendly fibers. Do you find matting or other issues? I am interested in non heat friendly options, although I suspect none will be quite like the Editors Pick.
Ahh I thought it was just mine! I received Editor’s Pick (regular, not elite) in shaded iced mocha a few months ago and it was very bushy as well. Kind of turned me off to the style, to be honest!
Thank you for sharing your experience Jessica! As a reviewer I never know whether it's just the piece I have or it's becoming a trend... so this helps us so much! XOXO
The Editors Pick you are wearing is somuch more hair, it seems, than mine. Mine seems to have way less wave in it. What can I do to perk it up? I also was alittle disappointed in the color (I have biscuit rl19/23) It seems more silverygray than blond. I almost think its the wrong color sent. Biscuit on your videos looks so light blond. I am naturally a platinum color. How can I bulk up that wig alittle?
Hi Taz.... I watch almost all your videos and I purchased a Editors Pick with a partially hand tied crown and the rest is wefted....is this a normal cap that Editors pick sells? Cuz the only other ones I find are a whole 100 percent hand tied. I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off....I payed $450 at a wig shop in my neighborhood....she told me it was Raquel Welch Ediotrs Pick only cuz I asked her if she sold name brands and she knew I knew a lot about wigs. So I just wanted to see if you knew if that was actually a real Raquel Welch wig....there was no RW tag on it but wasn't sure if it's cuz she gets the for wholesale and then turns around and sells them retail. That's the only thing that would make sense to me. Thank you
Correct, Raquel Welch offers the original Editors Pick which has a lace front, single mono top and is wefted sides and back.. and there is also an Editors Pick Elite featuring lace front, single mono and handtied base all the way around. ALL Raquel Welch wigs should feature a Raquel Welch tag in order to be authentic. XOXO
I ordered her and she didn’t suit me! I decided to keep her and redid the curl pattern in beachy waves. I think it goes way better with my somewhat edgy style. She is comfortable and now I am happy with her. I am also happy that I have finally learned to curl my wigs the way I want to 😃
I bought this wig but wish it had a looser beachy wave curl - how did you do it? Did it add more length? I’ve never done this before to a heat friendly wig with tighter curls. Thanks for your help!
I got my Editor's Pick in March or so. I struggle with it. It always seems to be stringy or something. I don't have a good term for what I'm thinking. Maybe my face shape just doesn't go with it. I'm still trying. I haven't given up yet.
Hi Cheryl!! This newest one I received seems to have thick, choppy chunks as opposed to a softer tousle of the older one.. I do know what you mean! XOXO
Thank you for the comments! Pretty much impossible to accommodate everyone's preferences and measurements in a single style..I'm so happy we have so many options! XOXO
Hi Taz -- Curl spray is a HairUWear product -- just called "Curl". It's an anti-frizz spray made specifically for Curly/wavy hair styles. I noticed they didn't capitalize it, but it is a proper product name: www.pinkeepromise.com/Curl-HairUWear
I'm not happy that RW is enlarging their caps. I'm also a 21.25 circumference and recently purchased Real Deal. I ended up having to take 5 rows of wefts out of the crown and Frankenstein the sides in order to make it fit. It's an adorable cut and I love RW lace fronts but at their prices I'm not willing to do surgery on every wig. I think I'll be sticking with Belle Madame. Their small or small/med sizes fit me like a glove. And I much prefer their synthetic fibers over anyone's heat friendly.
My editor's pick is probably 18 months old. If you want to see it on me (a guy) the video is called (Bobby Update! Tera On the Rancho!...Let's Cut Loose Tonight!)
Hi Taz: I much prefer your three year old editor’s pick in shaded biscuit. I agree, the new editor’s pick is way too much hair. As always, you look great in the new one but you look terrific in your older one. Why would RW mess with a good thing? I’ve been away from my phone for a few days. I will go look for your other video on the sister styles. Thank you again for a great video. 🦊 💜
Hi Karen!! I am kinda hoping the new Editors Pick I received is a one-off situation.. but based on audience feedback, it seems to be more common for the newer EP's to have this much hair. I will be posting my Sister Styles review very soon! Hugs! 🥰🥰🥰
Do you love the look of Raquel Welch Editors Pick, but you're not crazy about the heat friendly fibers?! I have a video coming soon where I will give you a look at 5 SISTER STYLES.. Options are SO GOOD! Happy Sunday all. LOVE TO ALL! XOXO
Can’t wait for the sister styles that are not HD! Yuppeee
Definitely looking forward to the Sister styles!
Woohoo. Can’t wait. I hope at least one of them comes in a silvery color 🦊 💜

Hi Kathy! My Elite also has less volume.. handtied caps have little to no permatease which does change the shape a bit:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET I wore my Editor's pick Elite last night, lots of curls and volume it was beautiful in Hazlenut & I like volume..
I LOVE volume. If I liked flat hair, I wouldn't wear a wig lol....

I agree with you,Taz. EP has (sadly!) changed. I am currently trying make my third EP behave, and not having much success. It's too flat on top, too full on the sides, and the curl is not as defined. I'm SO disappointed as I bought this one to wear to my daughter's wedding. They all take a week or two of training, but this has been a few months and it just will not look like my previous two. :(
Hi taz you look great in the ep. I have not purchased one yet but will. The years have made a difference on the wig
One of my favorite styles & colors shaded biscuit. Beautiful wig!
Yes, me too! XOXO
Love this wig Taz, i think it's gorgeous on you! And thank you for reviewing the care instructions. I totally agree with being careful with the curls, i would not comb through a wet wig, noway. I really like the volume on this wig, it is beautiful! Thanks Taz, have a bless day!! 💕
Morning Sandra!! Thank you so much:-) 😍😍😍
WOW that is alot different in volume much more hair. BEAUTIFUL the same but looks like a new STYLE. Much appreciated your review when I purchase a new Editor Pick will know it's going to be alot of volume and size.. that I may have to work on. TAZ you are a great help!❤ Forgot to say just how great this color looks on you Taz .
Hi Shirley!! Thank you for the comments! 🥰🥰🥰
Was just fixing to purchase a new Editor pick and in the color you are waring also my head size is petite average. So this video is a huge help I really appreciate your help
You are right Taz!! Definitely more hair on your newer Editors Puck. I MUCH prefer your first one, in Shaded Biscuit. I had to send an Editors Pick back because there was too much hair. It swamped my smallish face. Wish I could get an earlier one that was not so bushy. Teddy U.K. xx
Thanks soooo much for this comparison!! I much prefer the older Editors Pick. I’ve been struggling with choosing between Editors Pick and Unfiltered.....Leaning Unfiltered 😊
Both are very pretty!! XOXO
I feel that Unfiltered changed too. More poofy, less beachy. Ugh.
This looks like Editors Pick Elite which is very curly, I just purchased this wig in Hazlenut I love all the waves..
Taz,, I love my Editors Pick so much, but I would really like a longer version. Could you suggest a wig that is similar but longer ? I never buy a wig unless I see your review, you are the best wig reviewer in my opinion. Thank you for your hard work.
You might like Dalgona 16 by Belle Tress! Or Tea Rose by Belle Tress if you need a bang th-cam.com/video/i-rYO7FTNU4/w-d-xo.html
Taz, I'm about to order this because it comes in a LARGE (!!!) and in the color "Iced Sweet Cream" which is unrooted. My choices in large wigs that come unrooted in white or lightest platinum are SO limited. So I can't be choosey. I would have preferred the "Elite" version, but apparently, it does not come in the large size. Thanks for the review.
It is gorgeous! I can def see more hair and more length. Good info Taz...have a great week:)
Thanks so much!! XOXO
I like a lot yours video. I am living in Spain, Canary Island. Sorry my english is not so good. I enjoy looking all yours wigs. I am looking to buy RW, Editors is my favorite, but is no easy to find who can send. You help me a lot to decide , also it is wonderful how you explain and shows the colors,, THANK YOU.. KISSES
I wash and condition and spray leave in then pick out the snarls, scrunch it well and turn inside out
The curl is lovely .... after 2 years!
Thank you for these comments!! XOXO
I’ve just received my editors pick this week and yes mine has a lot of volume like yours. It looks very similar, lots of hair.
Looks lovely!
🙏🤗🤗😍😘
I think I like the shaded B one the best! Your original!
👍🏻💕😍
Great video! My latest Editor's Pick is less hair in Bronzed Sable. It looks and feels like a Belle Tress piece. The couple before that are way more hair! I love this style a top 3 for me! I own several... your other review has me eyeing Celebrity versus Unfiltered as a sister style. Thank you for your reviews!
Great Info! Thanks so much for sharing! Gosh I wish there was more consistency.. but this is to be expected with mass produced wigs:-) XOXO
I know you get these questions all the time, but I can't stop staring at the wig on the top right shelf... which wig is that, and the color? It looks amazing!
Top right, far right is Rene Of Paris Julie in Melted Marshmallow:-) XOXO
Hi Taz! I bought this wig in rooted cappuccino and just received it last week. Thank you so much for your review, I got so many compliments on my hair at the first post-corona party that I went to! I would love to include a photo, but I don't know how.
Hi there! I am thrilled that you love your new Editors Pick!! It brings us to life when we have great hair!! Unfortunately, you cannot attach photos:-) XOXO
Hi Taz, this Editor's Puck does look a lot fuller than the ones you reviewed a few years ago. Regarding the cap, I purchased my first RW wig around 3 years ago, Play it Straight. I have a 21.75 inch circumference and that wig was very tight on my head. I kept checking to be sure they didn't mistakenly send me a small or petite size, but the box and invoice both said it was an average size. I purchased Editors Pick shortly after and the cap fit just fine. But mine did not resemble yours or other reviewers. It was very poofy on the top and I could not calm it down after steaming several times. A few months ago I purchased RW On Point and that average cap is huge. So much that I had to pinch a few areas on the top sew them together to try to flatten the cone that was at the end of the mono part. That was successful, but my adjusters had to be crisscrossed to tighten up the rest of the wig. I love this wig but there is still a lot of loose cap in the back. As always just love your reviews and really appreciate all you do in your reviews. Also glad to hear in your previous video that your son is coming along. Prayers to you and your family that he continues to improve 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this info Susan! And thanks so much for the continued prayers:-) XOXO
I watched your original video on Editor's pick and was really considering ordering it but after seeing how it's changed I'm not so sure now☹
You look lovely in both.
I have heard the new Editors Pick is nappy as opposed to the earlier design. Even on the 1st time wearing it. It is my favorite, as well. Let me know if you have noticed this because I am getting ready to make my 1st purchase. Thank you so very much for turning this problem for women into a blessing. I see the Lord all over your journey.
I have not noticed any nappy-ness.. but this one has always taken some extra maintenance based on the ones I have owned. I de-tangle every time I wear it. Use silicon spray and limit washing:-) XOXO
Good discussion of how to care for curly wigs. Agree that some of the instructions are unclear. I do it your way, probably learned it from you.
Morning! I have a curls series coming up where I go into a little more detail on care and maintenance.. I LOVE my curls:-) XOXO
100% agree about the RW caps.
I LOVE this Taz 😘❤❤
Gorgeous on you.
Thank you Glenda! XOXO
Thank you for the video! You look Gorgeous as usual! How often do you wash your wig? When is the good time to wash the wig such as worn after 6 or 7 times ? Or when it smells? etc..
I put off washing as long as possible. My clues are usually the fibers feel a bit sticky ( from dust, air, pollutes, etc).. sticky hair doesn't move well XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thanks!
Hey Taz! Did you ever do a review on the furthest wig on the top right? (if youre looking at the screen) It looks like it has great curls. What wig is that and did you like it?
Hi there. I featured it in my CURLS series.. its ROP Julie in Melted Marshmallow. Its toward the end of the video..th-cam.com/video/lMMazzXAsrw/w-d-xo.html XOXO
Hi Taz, firstly I'd like to tell you that there isn't one wig that does not look good on you. I'm blown away how amazing they all look. Stunning!!
I'd just like to ask if you still recommend washing the HD fibre wigs in fabric softner instead of wig shampoo?
Thanks
Eva
Hello! So.. I have been just using the regular shampoo for synthetic wigs. However, I would not hesitate to do a fabric softener soak if fibers feel a little stiff. I have never had any issues with the cap softening and stretching by using fabric softener. :-)
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thanks for replying 😊
You look great in all the ones you review!
💕💕💕
Love Editor's Pick!❤
🙌🏻💯😍
Love your hair so pretty
I used to like this wig, but now it looks so big and messy compared to how it used to look. Thanks for showing this.
The old one is so much better also the color
Taz I also have bought a new RW wig that is way too big. I love the style and color but I am sending it back. I can handle making adjustments to where I don't have to worry about it falling off but I just can not deal with all the extra room in the crown! I just can't be comfortable in it. Do you have any problems with the crown and if so, what do you do about that? There were other styles that I wanted but won't get now. I just expect better when spending nearly $300 on a wig!
Thanks for the comments! It seems I have a little extra room in all wigs around the crown area.. I do not even notice it anymore unless it's more than usual. I have sewn wefts together to reduce bagginess, but prefer not to have to do that kind of surgery on my wigs. Mass produced wigs can be challenging for us petite headed gals, but it's still the best options we have:-) I have noticed many brands going to larger caps.. Estetica, Raquel Welch, Gabor, Hairdo, Belle Tress, Henry Margu....XOXO
Hey Taz, what is that blonde wig right above your right shoulder here? It looks like it has roots....I want that one :)
Hello! I think you are looking at th-cam.com/video/oRh7LsYL62w/w-d-xo.html XOXO
Both are beautiful on you but I like the older one on you the most.
👍🏻🙌🏻🥰
That’s how mine was in my very first purchase in a different color over 2 years ago and I haven’t repurchased since. I felt like I had “lion” hair too, just felt big and so fake!
May I ask what u do to brand new Editors Pick after unboxing?
Do u mist with water, shake and hang upside down to dry.
Thank you.
I just shake and comb at the root to set free the movement of the fiber XOXO
I like the styles & lace front on RW wigs, in 30 years I’ve had 2 or 3 and so big, won’t buy RW anymore because average sizes run large!
Thank you for sharing this!! It's nice to know that this may be a trend rather than a one-off situation on the new piece I received:-) XOXO
I just got my Editor's pick in shades capuchino. I love it but it is a bit small.
I've bought two of these since spring and the curl pattern is quite different, one is slightly larger than the other. I like raquel wigs because they seem to have that extra room for my 22.5' size head.Mine style differently; one holds a curl much better. I love both of them; this style is in my top three. Beautiful.
This is so helpful, thank you for sharing! I am happy that the variances that you see are appealing to you.. it's nice to have more than one of a favorite style! XOXO
Watch out Dolly Parton, the world is about to be filled with your old look if people buy these. I tried the old style because I had to see what the big fuss was about with Editor's Pick. Was not impressed with it at all. I guess different strokes. Taz you can make a dirty mop look good on your head. Thanks for your great attitude. We love and appreciate all you do on here.
I agree, that's why there are so many options.. there's a wig out there to suit every head/face! XOXO
Thank you for all your information in this video , I am just can order Editor Pick wig , but after I saw this video I am scare to have like this new one , I like the previous one which in biscuit shade it look better made so sad 😞 , by the way l like all your videos and l like you
I understand:-) Remember, free returns at WigStudio1 www.wigstudio1.com/products/editors-pick-wig-by-raquel-welch?_pos=1&_sid=d42f78eed&_ss=r
Hey Taz! What glasses are you wearing? Went on readers to find them. I have been searching for that exact style forever!! And you look amazing as always ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Toni! The glasses I am wearing in this segment are discontinued:-( They are from the browline collection.. here is a link if you want to browse.. if you buy don't forget the promo code TAZ35 for 35% off order:-) www.readers.com/browline-glasses.html?sc[Gender][]=275
Thank you🤗
Do you ever use product like a hairspray on your wigs? I’m new to wigs.
I personally choose not to use products on my wigs as it attracts dirt and causes it to need washing more often. If you do use products, be sure the products are formulated specifically for synthetic hair.. some natural hair products contain alcohols that will dry and deteriorate a synthetic wig:-) XOXO
TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you! One more question please. How do you make your wigs not so shiny? I got the Ellen Wille Vogue in Bernstein Rooted based on your video. I love it but it is very shiny. Any advice?
I do love this style but am frightened of the heat friendly fibers. Do you find matting or other issues?
I am interested in non heat friendly options, although I suspect none will be quite like the Editors Pick.
I have a sister style options for Editors Pick coming soon. I do not have trouble with HF fibers.. I detangle after each wearing:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET
Do you detangle with fingers only as you mentioned?
Do u hang the wig by the nape outside out? I haven't washed either my editor's pick or upstage yet. I'm nervous. 😥
Yup! Exactly! XOXO
How do you de-frizz the bottom layers caused by friction?
This video may help th-cam.com/video/ohi2ihLYbAo/w-d-xo.html
Ahh I thought it was just mine! I received Editor’s Pick (regular, not elite) in shaded iced mocha a few months ago and it was very bushy as well. Kind of turned me off to the style, to be honest!
Thank you for sharing your experience Jessica! As a reviewer I never know whether it's just the piece I have or it's becoming a trend... so this helps us so much! XOXO
Absolutely invaluable post Taz ! A must save for me to reference often Thank you for creating this post !
Thank you for the feedback, so helpful to me! XOXO
The Editors Pick you are wearing is somuch more hair, it seems, than mine. Mine seems to have way less wave in it. What can I do to perk it up? I also was alittle disappointed in the color (I have biscuit rl19/23) It seems more silverygray than blond. I almost think its the wrong color sent. Biscuit on your videos looks so light blond. I am naturally a platinum color. How can I bulk up that wig alittle?
You might try a texturizing spray such as Estetica Sea Salt Spray.. here is a video. Good luck! th-cam.com/video/B8ixTQHJkrU/w-d-xo.html
Do you only put a spray conditioner on Editor's Pick, no soaking in a conditioner?
You can do either, or or both.. I use the spray most often. 💛💛💛
Hi Taz....
I watch almost all your videos and I purchased a Editors Pick with a partially hand tied crown and the rest is wefted....is this a normal cap that Editors pick sells? Cuz the only other ones I find are a whole 100 percent hand tied. I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off....I payed $450 at a wig shop in my neighborhood....she told me it was Raquel Welch Ediotrs Pick only cuz I asked her if she sold name brands and she knew I knew a lot about wigs. So I just wanted to see if you knew if that was actually a real Raquel Welch wig....there was no RW tag on it but wasn't sure if it's cuz she gets the for wholesale and then turns around and sells them retail. That's the only thing that would make sense to me. Thank you
Correct, Raquel Welch offers the original Editors Pick which has a lace front, single mono top and is wefted sides and back.. and there is also an Editors Pick Elite featuring lace front, single mono and handtied base all the way around. ALL Raquel Welch wigs should feature a Raquel Welch tag in order to be authentic. XOXO
I ordered her and she didn’t suit me! I decided to keep her and redid the curl pattern in beachy waves. I think it goes way better with my somewhat edgy style. She is comfortable and now I am happy with her. I am also happy that I have finally learned to curl my wigs the way I want to 😃
I bought this wig but wish it had a looser beachy wave curl - how did you do it? Did it add more length? I’ve never done this before to a heat friendly wig with tighter curls. Thanks for your help!
Is the sizing any different on Editors Pick and Editors Pick Elite?
Handtied caps run a little smaller than wefted caps based on the pieces I have
Thank you Taz!
Is this the Editors Pick Elite or Editors Pick Sheer Indulgence? It seems like the Sheer Indulgence is a bit longer and curlier
There's no doubt, this is Raquel Welch Editors Pick XOXO
I got my Editor's Pick in March or so. I struggle with it. It always seems to be stringy or something. I don't have a good term for what I'm thinking. Maybe my face shape just doesn't go with it. I'm still trying. I haven't given up yet.
Hi Cheryl!! This newest one I received seems to have thick, choppy chunks as opposed to a softer tousle of the older one.. I do know what you mean! XOXO
I ordered the Editors Pick Elite and had to send it back. The average cap was petite! I was so disappointed!
Thanks for sharing this! XOXO
This is my first wig and the lace doesn’t seem to lay completely flat. Is this normal?
Ohh I have the original. I’m sorry I didn’t say that.
Is there a difference between Editor’s pick vs Editor’s pick elite?
The same with Simmer and Simmer elite? I noticed she just recently came out with Elite.
The Elite versions are 100% handtied caps and no permatease:-)
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET ahhhhh thank you!
Thank goodness it’s larger, now they just need to make it in non-heat friendly ; )
Thank you for the comments! Pretty much impossible to accommodate everyone's preferences and measurements in a single style..I'm so happy we have so many options! XOXO
Is this Editors Pick or the Elite one?
This is the regular Editors Pick. I also have a review on the Elite here th-cam.com/video/L7giM0cV4Ew/w-d-xo.html
Hi Taz -- Curl spray is a HairUWear product -- just called "Curl". It's an anti-frizz spray made specifically for Curly/wavy hair styles. I noticed they didn't capitalize it, but it is a proper product name: www.pinkeepromise.com/Curl-HairUWear
I'm not happy that RW is enlarging their caps. I'm also a 21.25 circumference and recently purchased Real Deal. I ended up having to take 5 rows of wefts out of the crown and Frankenstein the sides in order to make it fit. It's an adorable cut and I love RW lace fronts but at their prices I'm not willing to do surgery on every wig. I think I'll be sticking with Belle Madame. Their small or small/med sizes fit me like a glove. And I much prefer their synthetic fibers over anyone's heat friendly.
We are much the same.. Belle Madame is the ultimate fit for me too! XOXO
Hair U Wear makes a curl enhancing spray. Love your reviews!
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
My editor's pick is probably 18 months old. If you want to see it on me (a guy) the video is called (Bobby Update! Tera On the Rancho!...Let's Cut Loose Tonight!)
Excellent!! Love you spirit! XOXO
Did you say “hang it upside down in the dryer”?
No, please don't put your wig in the dryer:-)
I was sure you didn’t mean that lol
Hi Taz: I much prefer your three year old editor’s pick in shaded biscuit. I agree, the new editor’s pick is way too much hair. As always, you look great in the new one but you look terrific in your older one. Why would RW mess with a good thing? I’ve been away from my phone for a few days. I will go look for your other video on the sister styles. Thank you again for a great video. 🦊 💜
Hi Karen!! I am kinda hoping the new Editors Pick I received is a one-off situation.. but based on audience feedback, it seems to be more common for the newer EP's to have this much hair. I will be posting my Sister Styles review very soon! Hugs! 🥰🥰🥰
