HEAT DEFIANT (HD) WIG CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Heat Defiant Hair Care

WE RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR ALTERNATIVE HAIR EVERY 6-8 WEARS

HOW TO CLEANSE & CONDITION YOUR HD WIG?

1. Before washing, gently remove any tangles using your Jon Renau Wide Tooth Comb ONLY.
2. Wet hair completely using cool running water.
3. Gently lather the hair with a small amount of Jon Renau Synthetic Shampoo, making sure that the hair is travelling in the same direction. DO NOT rub hair; this will cause tangling.
4. Rinse thoroughly under cool running water until water runs clear.
5. Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat dry.
6. Gently detangle hair using a Wide Tooth Comb.
7. Spray with Leave-In Conditioning Spray (3-5 pumps) keeping away from the base.

HOW TO DRY & STYLE A HD WIG?

1. Allow wig or hairpiece to air dry naturally by placing it on a plastic or wire wig stand. Do NOT blow dry.
2. Air drying your wig will give the best results. The fibre will dry fastest; be sure the cap is completely dry before wearing, storing, or displaying.
3. Apply HD Smooth Detangling Spray, (3-5 pumps) focusing on the bottom half of the wig or hairpiece. Gently comb through using your Wide Tooth Comb.
4. ONLY the Jon Renau wide tooth comb is used on your HD fibre. Other tools will cause frizzing/tangling.
5. HD fibre can withstand heat up to 350° F, however, Jon Renau recommends working at 270°-280° F.
6. It is recommended to use professional-grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control heat.

HOW TO CURL & FLAT IRON A HD WIG?

1. Heat your curling or flat iron to 270°-280° F.
2. Using your Jon Renau Wide Tooth Comb, gently comb hair free of tangles.
3. Starting at the nape, take ½ inch-1.5 inch sections of hair. (smaller sections=tighter curls, larger sections=looser curls)
4. Spray Heat Treat Thermal Spray on the section to protect the fibre. (1-2 pumps per section)

TIPS ON HOW TO CURL AN HD WIG

1. 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.
2. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then turn the tip of iron toward the ground and release curl into palm of the hand.
3. Holding curl in one hand, gather up towards base and secure curl with a small metal clip. (like a pin curl)
4. Allow curl to cool completely (about 5 minutes); remove the clip and let curl hang naturally.

HOW TO FLAT IRON A HD WIG?

1. Starting at the nape, take ½ inch-1.5 inch sections.
2. Spray Heat Treat Thermal Spray on the section to protect the fibre. (1-2 pumps per section)
3. Slowly smooth the flat iron down through the ends; keep hair smooth by following behind the flat iron with your Wide Tooth Comb.
4. Allow hair to hang naturally and cool completely.

EVEN MORE HAIR CARE TIPS

All synthetic fibres can tangle and frizz with wear. It is important that the frizz is corrected early to avoid permanent damage to the fibre. Use your flat iron to smooth any frizz before washing

1. We recommend using HD Smooth Detangling Spray with a Jon Renau Wide Tooth Comb DAILY to detangle your HD wig. This is especially important with the mid-length to long-length HD wigs or hairpieces.
2. We offer HD Smooth in a convenient 2oz. size for travel.
3. Allow your HD wig to air dry naturally instead of blow-drying to help maintain the integrity of the fibre.
4. Help protect the fibre against heat damage by using Heat Treat Thermal Spray when using heat styling tools.
5. To add texture and definition, use a small amount of Piece Out Contour Fiber Crème and apply using fingertips.
