Jon Renau Heat Defiant

HD | Heat Defiant Care
We recommend washing your alternative hair every 6-8 wears
CLEANSE & CONDITION

• Before washing, gently remove any tangles using your wide tooth comb ONLY
• Wet hair completely using cool running water
• Gently lather the hair with a small amount of 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 the 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 detangling spray (3-5 pumps) focusing on the bottom half of wig or hairpiece. Gently comb through using your wide tooth comb.
• ONLY a wide tooth comb should be used on your HD fiber. Other tools will cause frizzing / tangling.
• HD fiber can withstand heat up to 350 degrees F, however, Jon Renau recommends working at 270 degrees to 280 degrees F.
• It is recommended to use professional grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control heat.

CURL & FLAT IRON

• Heat your curling or flat iron to 270 degrees - 280 degrees F
• Using your wide tooth comb, gently comb hair free of tangles.
• Starting at the nape, take 1/2 inch to 1.5 inch sections of hair (smaller sections + tighter curls, larger sections = looser curls)
• Spray thermal heat spray on the 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 base of wig or hairpiece, staying 1-2 inches away.
• Hold for 10-15 seconds, then turn the tip of the 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 1/2 inch - 1.5 inch sections
• Spray thermal heat 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.

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

• 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 detangling spray 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 hairpieces.
