SYNTHETIC HAIR WIG TIPS

DO A CHECK WASH FIRST
- 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 and condition while 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
HOW TO CLEANSE & CONDITION A HUMAN HAIR WIG
- Before washing your human hair wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using your Paddle Brush.
- Gently lather the hair with a small amount of Argan Smooth Luxury Shampoo, while making sure that the hair is travelling in the same direction. DO NOT rub hair as this may cause tangling.
- Rinse thoroughly in 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 the conditioner through mid-lengths and ends for 3-5 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly in cool running water until the water runs clear.
HOW TO DRY & STYLE A HUMAN HAIR WIG
- Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat to remove excess water.
- Gently remove any tangles using your Paddle Brush.
- Allow the cap to dry completely before applying to a canvas blockhead.
- Dampen hair again and apply a small amount of Blown Away Blow Dry Balm; distribute evenly throughout the hair, keeping away from the base.
- Starting at the nape, work in 2″ sections using your Jon Renau 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 WIGS must be dried and styled after washing. Air-drying will leave the hair ‘un-polished and can trap water in the hair causing frizzing.
FURTHER HAIR CARE TIPS
- It is recommended to use professional-grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control heat.
- Your styling tools should be set no higher than 350°F (176°C)to help maintain the integrity of the hair.
- When curling your human hair, you can use small metal clips to hold each curl while cooling for a tighter, longer-lasting curl. For a looser, more natural-looking curl, allow curls to hang while cooling

- ONLY the Jon Renau wide tooth comb is used on your HD fibre. Other tools will cause frizzing/tangling.

TIPS ON HOW TO CURL AN HD WIG
- Gather hair into curling iron, smooth through to the ends. Roll iron up towards the base of the wig or hairpiece, staying 1-2 inches away.
- Hold for 10-15 seconds, then turn the tip of iron toward the ground and release curl into palm of the 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 the clip and let curl hang naturally.
HOW TO FLAT IRON A HD WIG?
