HAIR CARE & STYLING GUIDE

HUMAN HAIR
WE RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR ALTERNATIVE HAIR EVERY 6-8 WEARS
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND COLORING OR CHEMICAL ALTERATIONS

 CHECK WASH

Jon Renau recommends performing a check wash on any human hair system within 14 days of receipt

  • Before washing your human hair wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using your Jon Renau Paddle Brush
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water. Comb through hair with your fingers several times
  • If no signs of tangling/matting* occur, continue to cleanse & condition, checking for excessive tangling as you go
  • If you do notice excessive tangling/matting, it may be a sign of inversion; contact your retailer or manufacturer immediately

*Tangling/matting that occurs after months of wear is

due to improper care

CLEANSE & CONDITION
  • Before washing, remove tangles using your paddle brush
  • Gently lather hair with a small amount of Argan Smooth Luxury Shampoo, making sure hair is traveling in the same direction. DO NOT rub hair, this may cause tangling
  • Rinse thoroughly under cool running water until the water runs clear
  • Apply Argan Smooth Luxury Conditioner, avoiding the base of the wig or hairpiece (applying conditioner to the base/cap may weaken the knots)
  • Using your fingers, work conditioner through mid-lengths and ends for 3-5 minutes
  • Rinse again in cool running water until water runs clear

DRY & STYLE

  • Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat to remove excess water
  • Gently remove any tangles using your paddle brush
  • Allow cap to dry completely before applying to a canvas block head
  • Dampen hair again and apply a small amount of Blown Away Blow Dry Balm; distribute evenly throughout hair, keeping away from base
  • Starting at nape, work in 2" sections using your round boar-bristle brush and blow dry each section completely
  • Use medium-high heat on full power to blow dry hair.
  • Use the "cool shot" button to lock in style

Human hair must be dried and styled after washing.

Air-drying will leave the hair 'un-polished' and can trap

water in the hair causing frizzing

TIPS

  • Blown Away Blow Dry Balm is designed as a foundation product for all human hair blow outs. All other styling products can be layered over Blown Away 
  • Boho Beach Mist can be used on dry hair to add texture and revitalize natural curls
  • Use professional grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control heat. Use no higher than 350° F to help maintain the integrity of the hair
  • Use Versatile 3-Way Hair Spray to hold your finished style. Adjust nozzle to "L" for low, "M" for medium, or "H" for high hold, depending on your needs

HD FIBER

WE RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR ALTERNATIVE HAIR EVERY 6-8 WEARS

 CLEANSE & CONDITION

  • Before washing, gently remove any tangles using your Jon Renau Wide Tooth Comb ONLY
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water
  • Gently lather hair with a small amount of Jon Renau Synthetic Shampoo, making sure that the hair is traveling in the same direction. DO NOT rub hair; this will cause tangling
  • Rinse thoroughly under cool running water until the water runs clear 
  • Wrap wig or hair piece in a towel and gently pat dry
  • Gently detangle hair using your wide tooth comb
  • Spray with Jon Renau Conditioning Spray (3-5 pumps), keeping away from base

DRY & STYLE

  • Allow wig or hair piece to air dry naturally by placing on a plastic or wire wig stand. Do NOT blow dry
  • Air drying will give the best results. Allow cap to dry completely before applying to a canvas block head
  • Apply HD Smooth Detangler, (3-5 pumps) focusing on the bottom half of wig or hair piece. Gently comb through using your wide tooth comb
  • ONLY the wide tooth comb is used on your HD fiber. Other tools will cause frizzing/tangling
  • HD fiber can withstand heat up to 350° F, however, Jon Renau recommends working at 270°-280° F
  • We recommend using professional grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control heat

CURL & FLAT IRON

  • Heat your curling or flat iron to 270°-280° F
  • Gently remove any tangles using your wide tooth comb
  • Starting at the nape, take .5"-1.5" sections of hair (small sections = tight curls, large sections = loose curls)
  • Spray Heat Treat Thermal Spray on each section to protect the fiber (1-2 pumps per section)

CURL

  • Gather hair into curling iron, smooth through to the ends. Roll iron up towards the base of the wig or hairpiece, staying 1-2" away
  • Hold for 10-15 seconds, then turn the tip of iron toward the ground and release curl into palm of hand
  • Holding curl in one hand, gather up towards base and secure curl with a small metal clip (like a pin curl)
  • Allow curl to cool completely (about 5 minutes); remove clip and let curl hang naturally

FLAT IRON

  • Starting at the nape, take .5"-1.5" sections
  • Spray Heat Treat Thermal Spray on the section to protect the fiber (1-2 pumps per section)
  • Slowly smooth flat iron down through ends; keep hair smooth by following behind the flat iron with your wide tooth comb
  • Allow hair to hang naturally and cool completely

TIPS

All synthetic fibers can tangle and frizz with wear. It is important that the frizz is corrected early to avoid permanent damage to the fiber. Use your flat iron to smooth any frizz before washing

  • We recommend using HD Smooth Detangler with a wide tooth comb DAILY to detangle your HD wig. This is especially important with the mid-length to long-length HD wigs or hair pieces
  • To add texture and definition, use a small amount of Piece Out Contour Fiber Crème, apply using fingertips
