I have been waiting for a review of these two! Thanks so much Eileen!> I am small framed and the regular Simmer was too puffy on the top for me. I need to try the Simmer Elite!!
I’m the same. I’m petite 5ft 2 and I find Raquel Welch wigs swamp me because I have a small face, so I’m told lol. I do wish RW would stop using so much permatese in her wigs, although I know some people like the bouffant look, it’s just not for me. I love Simmer original although it goes matted very quickly, but am waiting for a discount on Simmer Elite.
Happy Saturday Eileen! This one is a "Wow" ! Simmer is such a beautiful and perfect length wig. So natural too. Think I like the color on the weft one better. ☺ Thank you for sharing. 💙
Question… beautiful you..The highlights look very much like separate bands w the ss cappuccino on the Simmer. Do you think w combing it could look more integrated more like foiled hair? BTW: congrats on your stunning backdrop! It is stunning, so we’ll designed & so you. Amazing but it does not come off too busy, it’s FAB! I love it❤️
This is an old background that I really don't use much anymore but it was fun; I'm not sure combing through the wigs would really alter the look of the highlighting on this one. xoxo
That’s ok… you did an ss cappuccino comparison w diff RW wigs & I remember you have it. This was just such a cool & feminine styling.. wanted to share.
You look so pretty in this. Eileen, do you think you could cut a bang with this wig? I love the bangs on Tatum and really would love simmer with bangs. Thanks!
I think a very light wispy bang would be nice on this style but I would not make it too full. Thanks so much for watching and have a great Sunday! xoxo
I really love this but want to make sure I choose correctly with this pricing and fit, etc. I wear the regular Belle Tress Caliente, thinking of ordering her in the hand tied or dipping my toe into the Raquel Welch pond. I have similar measurements as you. What are your opinions on these styles? Should I stick with Caliente or try Simmer? And if so should I do the hand tied or just stay with the regular wefted. Thank you 😊
Another excellent review, Eileen. Just wondering why the Elite is so heavy compared to similar hand-tied caps. It's a full ounce heavier than Upstage, for instance. Yet it doesn't seem bulky and isn't very long. Some reviewers have called it "low density"--it looks that way on you (and others), yet the manufacturer's photo looks kind of bulky. Whatcha think? Does it feel somewhat heavy on the head to you?
Hi; I'm sure the length of hair is a factor contributing to the weight, Simmer is longer at the crown and sides however I do not feel like it is that heavy when wearing it at all.Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! xoxo
Hi Julie; density can be a touchy subject, what might seem low density to me might seem like a lot of hair for someone else. If a wig has a full hand tied cap they are fairly low density (in my opinion) again this varies from person to person depending on what they feel is "low" density. xoxo
There is not a huge amount of difference in my opinion, if you contact support@wigstudio1.com they may have more specific information. Thank you for watching!
How does Simmer elite compare to Jon Renau Julianne lite? I feel like they are very similar styles and I prefer a low profile (low permatease). Which one is a lower profile?
Is the elite simmer more curly or still wavy like the original simmer? I have the editors pick elite and it’s curlier than the original, and personally, I’m not keen on that. Thanks.
I like the way you parted your hair!!
Thanks Eileen! Great review and the Simmer is gorgeous on you!!😘
Thanks so much for stopping by my channel, have a great weekend! xoxo
I just love Simmer! I have both as well and absolutely love the Elite. Thank you so much for the review! xoxo Marlene
You look amazing in Simmer my friend; I agree with you the Elite version is so nice and comfortable. Thanks for stopping by today! xoxo

Thanks so much for stopping by my channel today Gloria, have a great weekend!
I just found me a new style I have got to have. I love the beachy waves ❤️❤️❤️ Another knock out of the park for RW 💋 Great Review Eileen 😍😍 XOXOXO
Thank you Michael! Simmer has become a favorite! Thanks for watching! xoxo
I love the color and style on you. One of my favorites.
Thank you! This is such a popular style, it is easy to wear with a fun carefree style. Thanks so much for watching..
Looks like a realistic root on that color. Thanks for the comparison, good to see the differences that cap construction works.
Hi Margaret; yes the rooting really well done; thanks for watching and commenting! xoxo
I ordered regular simmer elite was a bit pricey for my budget but prefer a cooler cap I might splurge later and get the elite in a different color
Both are wonderful! Thanks for watching! xoxo
You look beautiful in this wig! It's perfect on you!
Thank you Joyce, have a great weekend! xoxo

Gorgeous! @crazywiglady what eyebrow pencil or gel do you use? The color is perfect!
Hi KC, I use a brown pencil by HourGlass and I think the shade is soft brown. xoxo

Hi Shannon, this is a hard question to answer as it is all personal preference, you can't go wrong with either! xoxo
Very pretty Eileen❣️ Would you say the elite is a little lighter density?
Yes it is a bit less dense. Have a great day!

This is a great idea for a video, thank you so much Becky, I will try and do a comparison for this as soon as possible. Have a great weekend! xoxo
I just received this in iced cappuccino .
Hi Patricia, I love iced cappuccino, thank so much for watching!
Can u provide a link to the sea salt spray? I just simmer elite on the iced machiotto and love the beach waves too.
Hi Susan, here is a link to the spray..www.wigstudio1.com/products/sea-salt-spray-by-estetica?_pos=1&_sid=ef8002d9c&_ss=r
@@Crazywiglady Thank u ❤️
Is the elite simmer more curly or still wavy like the original simmer? I have the editors pick elite and it’s curlier than the original, and personally, I’m not keen on that. Thanks.
Hi Nicki, I didn't find the curl pattern between the two much different, in my opinion they were pretty much the same. Thanks for watching! xoxo
Crazywiglady thank you for posting 😊
I have an opportunity to purchase Simmer Elite in golden russet at a great price. Do u enjoy yours or is that color just "too out there "?
Golden Russet is on of my favorite Raquel Welch reds, I have it in several styles. Thanks so much for watching! xoxo
@@CrazywigladyGood to know! You look great in it in your review. Thanks for your reply. 💟
What is the color on the wefted cap one?
The wefted version is Golden Russet; have a great weekend!
@@Crazywiglady thanks so much!
I am so upset, I got my simmer elite, it does not look like any that are shown on youtube, It looks and feels greasy. What do 8 do now?
Hi Nikki; is it eligible for return? If not maybe try using some sea salt spray to define the curls. Thanks for watching. xoxo
