Aria – New Rene of Paris Style

The Aria is a little different from the some of the others from Rene of Paris. It is one of the newest styles from their latest collection.

There is so much to love about this wig. It features a lace front which gives you the most realistic hairline. It enables the wearer to be able to wear the hair away from the face and for it to be not noticeable that its a wig. It is so fine that it becomes translucent on the face and becomes very undetectable.

The style of the Aria wig is very fashionable while being classic and very chic. The classic A- Line Bob with a long fringe and tapered neck. The long fringe drapes nicely to frame the face nicely. It comes in over 18 different beautiful shades from blondes, reds and browns.

One of my favorite colours would be the Plumberry Jam which is just sensational. It really makes a statement.

Julianne Vs Scarlett

scarlett_12FS8_Main Julianne1

Julianne and Scarlett all have one thing in common, they are both made by Jon Renau. They have different features which allows for a similar style to be matched to two different budgets. The quality of the hair is exactly the same but the cap is very different.

Scarlett is a great alternative for those who can’t afford the Julianne. New to the Jon Renau Collection, Scarlett offers you on trend shoulder length perfect beach wave style. The Smartlace front which mimics a natural hairline allows you to style the hair away from your face with confidence for added versatility. Along with the smartlace front Scarlett’s cap construction offers an open wefted back for superior ventilation allowing the scalp to stay cool.

Julianne is a beautiful wavy mid-length bob that looks incredibly natural. You will love the sexy loose and effortless beach waves and casual chic of this wig. The length is slightly shorter in the back than in the front. The 100% Hand tied cap is what makes the biggest difference to the Scarlett. The 100% hand-tied stretch cap is completely hand-knotted creating supreme comfort and natural movement. The SmartLace front creates a natural looking hairline that allows for styling hair off the face. The monofilament top gives you the option of multi directional styling and looks like natural hair growth. You can part the hair on either side or the middle. This ready to wear synthetic hair looks and feels just like natural hair.

Below you can see visually what a wefted back wig and what a fully hand tied wig looks like. They are quite different and depending on your needs you can decide which one will suit you best. Some clients feel that the wefted backs are cooler in Summer but others just love the softness of the hand tied cap against their scalp.

Misconceptions about Wigs

Posted on 27 January 2016 by Wigs Online

Wigs can be a mystery to many. Many people don’t know much about wigs has they haven’t had any exposure to anyone wearing wigs or have worn wigs themselves. Wigs are becoming more popular as they are easy to wear and look great. The right wig can make life easy for the client. Below are some of the misconceptions that we have found:

1. Wigs Look Fake

There will always be some cheap and nasty wigs around. However, if you do a little research you will find some really great features of a wig that can make them look very realistic. A good lace front wig can give you such a realistic hair line. A mono top wig can help with styling a wig to suits you as you can move the part from left to right or place in the centre. Choosing the right colour can certainly help with not making a wig look fake. Obviously a bright purple wig will look fake as its not a natural colour. As long as your wig fits well and is taken care of properly wigs can look really realistic.

2. Wigs are Hot and Itch

Wigs are designed with in mind of the comfort of the wearer. Good quality wigs are made up with good fabrics and materials. Many mono top wigs are really soft and comfortable for the wearer.

3. Wigs can fall off Easily

Wigs have adjustments along the nape to help making the wig to fit firmly and comfortable. You should always change the adjustments to suit yourself. Please note that a wig adjusted too tight can actually push the wig upwards and will feel like its coming off. If you take a little time to try a couple adjustments you will find the right measurement for you.

4. Wigs are too Costly

There are so many wig styles to suit many budgets without compromising the quality of the wig. Synthetic Wigs start as low as $100 and can be as high as $700 for a premium quality wig. The inside cap and the hair quality is where you will see the differences between the budgets.

5. Wig slows hair growth

People think that if they wear a wig their existing hair underneath will stop growing. This is not true at all. Wigs sit over the top of your existing hair and place no strain on your hair. Hair Extensions and clip ins can pull on your hair and hinder natural growth but not wigs.

6. Wigs don’t have Natural Hair Movement

A good quality wig can have great natural hair movement. However, this will depend on the quality of the wig. Some premium brands like Jon Renau, Ellen Wille, Henry Margu, etc: spend a lot of time designing their wigs so they look as real as possible to natural hair. A wig can have great natural hair movement.

7. Human Hair wigs are better than Synthetic Hair Wigs

Depending on your budget and what you want the wig for, Human Hair may not be the answer for you. Good Synthetic wigs can look and feel better than cheap Human Hair wigs. Human Hair Wigs do take a lot more care and require styling after each wear. Some clients prefer to wear synthetic so they don’t need to worry about styling.

8. Only Old people wear wigs

Clients wear wigs for all sorts of reasons and its not just for the old. Many young people have health conditions that causing hair loss and a wig is a great option for them. Whatever the reason you need a wig there is many options and you just need to find the right one for you. Wigs Online has a showroom in Vermont Victoria where we encourage clients to make an appointment so we can help you choose the right wig for you.

Posted on 17 November 2015 by Wigs Online

The Fall collection for 2015 brings five new fresh looks and captivating chic styles. Jon Renau know how to keep fashion in mind and produce the highest quality wigs. A good wig will not look like a wig. Here is a quick rundown of each style to come:

Evan_12FS8_Alt4

Evan is a very sassy chic pixie style wig. It is so elegant with its sweeping fringe. The smart lace front gives the wearer an undetectable hairline. The open cap gives volumes to your style and is cool to wear in Summer.

Rosie_6-33_Side

Rosie is a gorgeous bob like no other. With lots of long layers and a sweeping fringe and a mono top to give the wearer a realistic looking crown. It also showcases the lace front that can allow the wearer to pull their hair away from their face.

Alessandra_14-26S10_Side2

Alessandra is the longest style in this collection It really is a gorgeous stunning design that will turn heads around. It has all the features of a quality wig with a mono top and a smart lace front that Jon Renau is renowned for. The layers graduate oozing with style.

1-Mariska-FS26-31_Side3

Mariska is the Pettite addition to the range. There is nothing else you can ask for. Lace front, Mono top and Hand tied are all the best features in a wig. Hand tied means that there is no wefting in the back of the wig. As the name suggests each hair is hand tied in to the cap to give you the most realistic look. When you run your hands through your hair you can see that no one will tell its a wig. There is no where to see the wefting as there is none. The part can be placed on either side as the mono top allows the hair to flow in all directions. Its a great versatile wig.

3-Cameron-14-26S10_Alt2

Lastly there is Cameron, the latest modern bob style. The layers and length make it a little different from anything else that we have seen before. The elegance of Cameron is a timeless style. It showcases the very best features like the others: Mono top, Smart Lace front and 100% Hand tied. As with all mono tops you can place the part on either side or in the middle. The Smartlace Front gives you a flawless hairline with beautiful layers framing the face.

These great new styles have just arrived and we look forward to extending the range with more colours.

How is a Wig Made?

Posted on 22 September 2015 by Wigs Online

How is a Wig Made?

Wigs are made all over the world but most mass produced wigs are made in countries like China, Indonesia and India. Countries like Australia have very high labour costs which makes wigs very expensive. Countries in Asia have much lower wages costs hence making it much more affordable for the average client to afford a wig. It is amazing how from a few strands of hair that is made into a weft and with quite a lot of work, a wig is created.

Below are some images where you can see how a wig starts with the raw products of hair, lace, monofiliament fabric, skin tops and a few more items. There is some machinery that helps with each stage but it is very labour intensive. There is a real art to making a good quality wig. Below are some of the things we saw that were all part of the process.

DSCN0911 Collection of Hair and Bundling: Hair is collected and prepared for manufacturing. Hair is arranged so it is lying in all the same direction. The hair is brushed against a hackle quite a few times which is just a large wire brush that is clamped to a table. It keeps the hair smooth and untangled as well as drawing out any small hairs. ( You can see on the left what a Hackle looks like)

Washing & Sterilising Hair : The hair DSCN0957 is inspected to make sure it is clean and they will sterile the hair. The hair is gently and thoroughly hand washed in basins in soapy water with disinfectant. They are rinsed a few times to make sure there is no residue of soap. Then the hair is allowed to air dry or put in warmer ovens specifically for hair.

DSCN0916 Making Wefts :For a wefted wig, the hair is sewn onto a weft by machine. The wefts are then made up into a wig. Depending on the type of wig they are making there are different steps. Some wigs are made with a lace cap while others are have a mono top or a skin top.

Making a Skin top: Here you can see how a skin top has hair punched into it by machine. You can see in the second photo that the hair needs to be trimmed on the inside of the wig. After it is trimmed they place a special glue to keep it all intact. Then it can be inserted into the rest of the wig. Others have a mono top which is a fine monofilament mesh that the hair is tied individually onto to give the wearer a realistic look.

These are just a few of the processes hat it takes to make a wig. Seeing the process makes you appreciate all the work it takes to make a wig and most of it is done by hard manual labour by very talented craftsmen.

What does it mean for a wig to be pre permed?

Posted on 24 August 2015 by Wigs Online

Angie By Jon Renau – Prepermed, Hand Tied, Lace front and Mono Top Wig.

What will my wig look like when I receive it? You must remember that manufacturer’s will style their wigs in order to sell their styles. Sometimes a manufacturer’s image will be very different to the actual wig. Especially prepermed wigs will be styled quite a lot by the manufacturer.

Angie_8rn_Alt1

Angie by Jon Renau is just one of those wigs that is pre permed. Pre permed means it has a curl when it comes out of the box and will keep its body after it has been washed. When you first open the box it is really curly so it gives you an option to straighten it completely or leave some loose waves in it. It has unbelievable bounce in the hair. The picture on the right is the manufacturers image after styling. Manufacturer pictures can look very different to the actual product so we like to photograph the product so you get to see exactly what you get when your wig arrives.

I have included images of the wig straight of the box so you can see how curly it is and then images after running a hair straightener through it. It is entirely up to the wearer how curly, wavy or straight it can be. It is a great wig with lots of versatility in regards to styling.

Angie_633capR

The cap features a mono top with a lace front and is 100% Hand tied. Hand tied means that each hair has been hand tied directly into the cap and there is no wefting. With a hand tied wig the hair is evenly distributed and gives you the upmost realistic look. They are more expensive as it is very labor intensive to manufacture a wig like this. If you run your hands through the wig you can’t see any wefting as there is none. The first image is the inside cap of the wig.

And this is the wig straight out of the box:

Angie_633OutofboxRE

After using the hair straightener on a low heat setting:

Angie_633straightRE AngieB_633StraightRE

This was the first time I have had time to have a play with a Jon Renau human hair wig and I was very excited about this wig. It has a beautiful feel of the hair which is remy, and the hair has a lovely bounce to it. It looks gorgeous with a few long loose waves left in the style. It is expensive to buy a human hair wig but there is a vast difference between a cheap human hair and an expensive one. No one would be able to tell if you were wearing the Angie Wig by Jon Renau.

Angie would have to be one of my favourite wigs and it certainly lived up to my expectations. I was able to style this wig with a hair straightener with very little time and I am not a hairdresser.

At Wigs Online we can order the Angie in for you within 7 – 10 days if we don’t have it in stock. It comes in many more colours. You can see more Jon Renau Human Hair and Synthetic wigs on our website, www.wigsonline.com.au
