Cleanse and condition

  • Before washing your wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using your Jon Renau Paddle Brush or Jon Renau Wide Tooth Comb
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water
  • Gently lather the 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 as this may cause tangling
  • Rinse thoroughly under cool running water until water runs clear
  • Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat dry 
  • Spray with Jon Renau Conditioning Spray (3-5 pumps) keeping away from base of wig or hairpiece. Do not rinse out conditioner
  • Gently detangle hair using your Wide Tooth Comb

Dry and Style

  • Allow wig or hairpiece to air dry naturally by placing on a plastic or wire wig stand. DO NOT blow dry
  • For mid-length to long length styles, apply HD Smooth Detangling Spray, (3-5 pumps) focusing on bottom half of wig or hairpiece. Gently comb through using your Wide Tooth Comb
  • We recommend using your fingertips or wig brush/comb for your desired style
  • To add texture and definition, use a small amount of Piece out Contour Fibre Crème and apply using fingertips
  • Do NOT use heat to style synthetic fibre (curling irons, flat irons or blow dryers) 

Tips

  • Be cautious when standing near a heat source (i.e. open oven, heater, etc.) Excessive heat can damage the fibre
  • We recommend using HD Smooth Detangling Spray with a wide tooth comb to detangle your synthetic wig. This is especially important with a mid-length to long length wig or hairpiece

*We recommend washing your alternative hair every 6-8 Wears
