HD | Heat-Friendly Synthetic Care

WE RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR ALTERNATIVE HAIR EVERY 6-8 WEARS

HighDefLace is crafted from finer materials that create an exceptionally soft, transparent finish for a seamlessly natural look. Due to the lace being more delicate, it requires gentle handling and attentive care to maintain its beautiful integrity. Please review our essential care tips.

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 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; this will cause tangling
• Rinse thoroughly under cool running water until water runs clear
• Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat dry
• Gently detangle hair using Wide Tooth Comb
• Spray with Leave-In Conditioning Spray (3-5 pumps) keeping away from base

DRY & STYLE

• Allow wig or hairpiece to air dry naturally by placing on a plastic or wire wig stand. Do NOT blow dry
• Air drying your wig will give the best results. The fiber will dry fastest; be sure the cap is completely dry before wearing, storing, or displaying
• Apply HD Smooth Detangling Spray, (3-5 pumps) focusing on the bottom half of wig or hairpiece. Gently comb through using your Wide Tooth Comb
• Use ONLY a wide tooth comb 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
• It is recommended to use professional grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control heat

TO CURL OR SMOOTH

• Heat your curling or flat iron to 270°-280° F (132°–138°C).
• Gently remove any tangles using your wide tooth comb. Avoid tugging or pulling around the hairline and lace.
• Starting at the nape, take .5”–1.5” sections of hair.
• Spray Jon Renau Heat Protectant Spray on each section to protect the fiber (1-2 pumps per section).
• Allow product to dry before applying hot styling tool.

~~ TO CURL ~~

• Gather hair into curling iron, smooth through to the ends. Roll the iron up towards the base of the wig or hairpiece, staying 1-2” away. No tugging or pulling.
• 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.

--- TO SMOOTH ---

• Slowly smooth flat iron through ends; keep hair smooth by following behind the iron with a wide tooth comb. Avoid tugging or pulling.
• Allow hair to fall naturally and cool completely.

STORAGE

• Place on a wig stand or mannequin head that is smaller to maintain the cap shape and prevent stretching.
• Store in a cool, dark area away from direct sunlight to prevent drying or weakening of the lace.
• Avoid heat sources (bathrooms, styling stations, windows) to help preserve the softness and integrity of the lace.

TIPS: Heat Friendly 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. Maintenance can help extend the longevity of both the fiber and base materials. Regular detangling is important for overall product longevity, as tangles left untreated may require repeated pulling, which can create tension and gradually stretch the base material and lace over time. We recommend using HD Smooth Detangler and a wide tooth comb DAILY to detangle. Be mindful when detangling around the hairline and delicate lace.
