For optimal longevity and appearance, a jazz wig from Jon Renau benefits from a careful, repeatable care routine. This guide compiles the essential steps to washing, detangling, drying, and protecting synthetic fibers while preserving style and texture.
Preparing the wig and removing tangles
Before washing your wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using your Jon Renau Paddle Brush or Jon Renau Wide Tooth Comb.
Washing: rinsing and lathering
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.
Initial drying and conditioning
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. Allow wig or hairpiece to air dry naturally by placing on a plastic or wire wig stand.
Detangling and styling aids for mid-length to long styles
For mid-length to long length styles, apply HD Smooth Detangling Spray, (3-5 pumps) focusing on bottom half of wig or hairpiece. We recommend using HD Smooth Detangling Spray with a wide tooth comb to detangle your synthetic wig.
Heat considerations and maintenance
Be cautious when standing near a heat source (i.e. open oven, heater, etc.). Excessive heat can damage the fiber.
Repeat care cycle
Repeat the washing and detangling cycle as needed, using the same sequence of gentle tangling, cool water rinse, light shampoo, and careful drying to maintain fiber integrity and style.
