Soft, Versatile, Carefully Maintained
PUSH heat-friendly synthetic fiber can be curled, waved or straightened with low heat, so you can change your look whenever you like. A little regular care keeps the fiber soft, smooth and tangle-free and helps your wig last longer.
How to Wash and Condition
- Before washing, gently remove tangles using a wide tooth comb only. Avoid pulling or tugging on the cap while detangling.
- Wet the hair completely with cool running water.
- Gently lather a small amount of Jon Renau Fiber Love Shampoo through the hair, keeping the hair moving in the same direction. Use gentle massaging motions. Do not scrub.
- Rinse thoroughly under cool running water until the water runs clear.
- Spray with Jon Renau Fiber Love Conditioning Spray (3 to 5 pumps), keeping it away from the base.
How to Dry
-
Choose the right stand. Place the wig on a plastic wig stand or collapsible wire wig stand so air can circulate through the cap.
-
Let it dry naturally. Allow the wig to air dry completely. Do not blow dry.
-
Move to a block head once completely dry. Place the dry wig on a canvas block head for styling or shaping. Never put a wet wig on a block head, because this can stretch the cap while it is damp.
How to Style
- Apply 3 to 5 pumps of HD Smooth Detangler, focusing on the bottom half of the wig. Gently comb through with your wide tooth comb.
- To prevent tangling of heat-friendly fiber, use only a wide tooth comb.
- Heat-friendly fiber can withstand heat up to 350°F (176.7°C), but we recommend styling at 270°F to 280°F (132°C to 138°C). Let each section cool completely to set the style.
- Use only professional-grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings, such as the Jon Renau Infrared Duo Styler.
How to Store
-
Maintain the cap shape. Keep the wig on a wig stand or mannequin head between wears to help it hold its shape.
-
Choose a cool, dark space. Store away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to protect the fiber and cap.
-
Keep it away from heat. Avoid storing near bathrooms, styling stations, windows or other heat sources.
Tips to Make Your Heat-Friendly Wig Last
- Heat-friendly synthetic fiber can tangle and frizz with wear, especially at the nape. Correct frizz early to avoid permanent damage: smooth any frizz with your flat iron on a low setting before washing.
- Regular detangling extends the life of the fiber and cap. Tangles left untreated need repeated pulling to remove, which stresses the fiber and can gradually stretch the cap over time.
- Use HD Smooth Detangler and a wide tooth comb daily to detangle.
PUSH Heat-Friendly Wig Care FAQ
What temperature should I use on a PUSH heat-friendly wig?
PUSH heat-friendly fiber can withstand up to 350°F, but we recommend styling at 270°F to 280°F. A tool with a digital temperature setting makes it easy to stay in that range.
Can I blow dry a heat-friendly synthetic wig?
Let the wig air dry completely on a wig stand. Once it is fully dry, you can style it with heat tools at 270°F to 280°F.
Why is my heat-friendly wig frizzy at the ends?
Friction from clothing and everyday wear causes frizz, especially at the nape. Detangle daily with a detangling spray and a wide tooth comb, and smooth frizz early with a flat iron on low heat before it becomes permanent.
