Styling tip: I found a way to tame the fly-away hairs along the forehead and setting the hairline in that area of my Alia Jon Renau wig. I had tried regular styling gel and an alcohol-free hairspray, but my best problem solver has turned out to be a lightly wet Bounce dryer sheet (unscented). I wet the dryer sheet, squeeze it out a little, and wipe it lightly across the top and especially the part and the hairline around my face. Then I just push back the hair with my fingers, style with my wide-toothed comb, and it helps a great deal with the static. It also helps with making the hair look more natural, because the softener in the dryer sheet, once wet, gives that appearance of just enough hair moisture or natural hair oil, the way real hair looks. It's easier to style, change the part, and push up the front of the forehead hairline so that it appears to be my real hair. I get complements on "my hair" almost every time I wear it. It is fast becoming my #1 wig of the three I currently own.

I just received my Joh Renau Alia (in Caramel Ribbon), and I absolutely love it! My husband and a friend loved it, too! I also have a heat defiant wig, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, which is not heat defiant. I am so happy with it! I had read that it was a very popular wig, and I can see why! The color is beautiful, of course, but the cap is very, very comfortable, and the hair is so silky and swingy! This is the closest I've come to having my own fine -textured hair back again! It's not very likely I'll be able to grow mine back the way it was before cancer treatment, at my age, so I'm thrilled to have this beautiful, silky, comfortable wig! I'm so glad I got mine during a special offer, too! I got the custom hairline, and if I had to pay for that, I have to say, it's well worth the extra! It really looks like your own hairline! This wig swings, feels, and moves like real, fine-textured hair! It's so flattering and natural looking! If I ever have the need or desire to order a new wig, I would be strongly inclined to buy this one again! Thank you, so much, Patti and "Patti's Pearls"! I've watched almost all of your videos and read the reviews! You are an angel for those of us needing help with hair!
Jon Renau "Alia" - beautiful, silky, swingy!
