Generally they’ve unique objects you’ll be able to’t get wherever else. 🙂
I’ve a bone to select with whomever named this wig I’m about to inform you about. She’s known as “Laura” and that’s only a sharp jab to the intestine, now, isn’t it? #socloseyetsofar
Jon Renau’s Laura is a loooooong artificial wig that I’ve formally fallen in love with.
I do know what you’re considering…you’ve heard me say that earlier than.
I’ve gushed about Alessandra, Sarah, and some others.
However you know the way you don’t know what you’re lacking till it’s proper in entrance of your face?
Laura and some of her wig and topper sisters are model new this season as a part of Jon Renau’s Professionnel Assortment, and are solely accessible in walk-in boutiques (to search out the one nearest you that sells this non-public assortment, take a look at Jon Renau’s retailer locator web page).
This Professionnel Assortment (ooh la la) has been expanded with some thrilling options and new types!
Let me inform you a bit about Laura, after which we’ll speak concerning the different types.
All images listed below are proper out of the field – no customization or tweaking.
What do I really like about Laura?
First off, she’s lengthy. Y’all know I really like lengthy.
[A note about all the photos of me on this post. I STRUGGLED getting these. I had just gotten home from the gym and taken a shower and I was still SOOOO hot. Plus it was 102 degrees out. I was literally melting here and tried getting my 5 year old to help take photos of me and it just wasn’t working. Depending on how big your screen is, these may be a bit blurry!]
She’s listed as being 16” on the crown and nape, and that’s at all times been a bit complicated to me. Alessandra, as an example, is listed at 13.75”.
I at all times examine and distinction that with the primary artificial topper I ever tried – that’s simply the place my hen mind goes: Noriko Milan. She’s solely 12” however seems SO a lot shorter than Alessandra. My on a regular basis topper, Prime Type Artificial (previously Prime Secret), is eighteen”, and Laura is longer than that.
I assume it’s all in the way it’s measured? Wigs are doubtless measured at totally different spots on the top, whereas toppers are measured root to tip? I’m simply guessing, right here…
In any case, Laura is lengthy and swingy, and sort of a grown-out model of Alessandra. She additionally has a lace entrance and has a single monofilament scalp.
When it comes to development, she’s wefted within the again. I are likely to desire hand-tied types today (I discover them closer-fitting and since I’ve an odd head form this works higher for me), however given all the remainder of Laura’s qualities, I’m prepared to miss this!
It was actually arduous to take a selfie because the fashion is so lengthy, however hopefully this offers you an thought, together with the primary photograph I shared:
And take a look at this size!
The opposite factor I like about Laura is that she’s accessible in two of my very favourite colours: 10RH16 (proven right here on me) and 8RH14. Should you haven’t already, take a look at my submit on tips on how to decipher wig colour codes. This has a base colour 10 with a 33% mix of colour 16.
You may see 8RH14 on the now-discontinued (I feel!) Jon Renau Lengthy Mono topper. I wore that many moons in the past and it’s with that piece that I fell in love with the 8RH14 colour. Sadly, it’s not accessible in lots of types, or I’d change again to it in a heartbeat!
I point out this typically, however one of many the explanation why Jon Renau is my most well-liked model of selection is that they’ve SO many types within the colour I put on. Meaning I can hold the colour constant whereas switching up types.
Wavy in the future, straight the subsequent. Topper at present, wig tomorrow. All in 10H16 or 10RH16.
For these of us who don’t put on totally different types every single day and select to maintain their wig- and topper-wearing near the vest, protecting the colour constant makes life simpler.
Together with Laura, the (walk-in boutique solely) Professionnel Assortment consists of 2 toppers and a number of other wig types.
Let’s chat about them and present them off a bit. I’m going to share images from Jon Renau’s web site to assist in giving you a visible. They’re vertical, so that you’ll must scroll a bit. If you wish to flip by way of the look guide, you’ll be able to take a look at it right here.
Human Hair Professionnel Assortment
These subsequent few wig types embrace European human hair (sure, skinny, effective, European hair!), in addition to single-monofilament tops and lace fronts.
[Reminder: Monofilament is that material that makes the “scalp”. A single monofilament allows you to see through the top of your piece to your own scalp. With the exception of one, all of these pieces I talk about today have a sizeable monofilament top that allows for multi-directional parting.
Lace fronts have, you guessed it, lace across the forehead, which allows the hair to be worn off the forehead. You can read more about lace fronts in this blog post.]
Let’s speak rapidly concerning the toppers.
European human hair easiPart and easiPart XL in 8” are actually accessible! These have French drawn scalps, which implies the knots on the scalp are super-hidden, making for a really reasonable look.
Kicking off the wigs, Amalfi is a lace-front, single monofilament, hand-tied European human hair wig in a enjoyable, shorter size.
Capri is even shorter and hugs the again of the nape for a unbelievable transition to the neckline. Such a ravishing silhouette! She additionally has a lace-front, in a single-mono and is hand-tied.
Positano is a swingy bob. I want to personal that necklace. 🙂
Ravello is an extended, mid-length fashion that hits proper on the shoulder. This is able to be a fantastic fashion to put on straight or add a slight wave to.
Carrie is a best-seller and is now accessible in Euro hair and is hand-tied. It’s possible you’ll keep in mind the interview I did with Emily from Jon Renau a number of years in the past…Carrie is her go-to fashion. Carrie can also be accessible as an Common dimension (all the different wigs are sized as Petite/Common, so barely smaller in circumference).
If European human hair just isn’t inside your funds, listed below are two types accessible in conventional Remy hair.
Penelope is an extended fashion that appears fabulous each wavy and straight. I kinda have my eye on her!
Artificial Hair Professionnel Assortment
Now that we’ve talked about human hair, let’s transfer on to the artificial types.
The specs on the artificial portion of the Professionnel assortment differ a bit, so let’s undergo every one. Every DOES have a lace entrance. We’ve talked about Laura above, so let’s discuss the remainder of them!
Lucy is an cute fashion with beachy waves that’s barely shorter on the nape. Not solely is she 100% hand-tied, however she has further wefting on the perimeters which helps to create a formed fashion – this retains the silhouette precisely as supposed and the hair pointing the place it must, to keep up this lovely fashion.
Hailey is a basic bob that hits proper under the jaw. I really like that the hair doesn’t finish bluntly…it flows so properly. In fact, any salon can customise your purchases to swing precisely the way you need it to. Like Lucy, Hailey additionally has some wefting to assist with form.
Brooklyn can also be a lace-front bob, however has a little bit of an angle on the entrance. She’s a bit sassier and fashionable.
Halsey is such a enjoyable pixie fashion…that I may by no means pull off! However I do know a lot of you’ll be able to! She’s a bit totally different in that she has an open cap.
That is frequent on quite a lot of brief types as a result of having an open cap versus a monofilament provides you VOLUME. So, you received’t be capable to half this in the way in which you’ll be able to the remainder of the types we’ve talked about…however with this fashion, you received’t need to.
Slightly little bit of Piece Out Contour Creme will make this fashion so edgy and gritty. You may see how I used this to give my longer topper a little bit of texture right here.
The entire artificial wigs, excluding Laura, are additionally accessible in grey and grey mix colours. So many colour choices!
What do you consider these new types? Do you have got a favourite? Which might YOU like to see in particular person?
And who else thinks Laura ought to’ve been named Lauren? 🙂
