NEW! Jon Renau EVE Wig Review CHAT / DRAB to FAB! / Shaded Praline 12FS8 / Wig Styling Tips

WIG CHAT: Jon Renau / EVE in Shaded Praline 12FS8
We are STYLING this baby.. Let's take EVE from DRAB to FAB!
My head measurements are:
Circumference: a tad over 21"
Ear to Ear: 12"
Front hairline to nape (just below occipital bone) 12"
Hey everyone! Welp, I decided to keep EVE mostly to show you how you can take a drab, flat, lifeless wig, and give it STYLE and LIFT/Body. This is what you can do with a wig that is shaped well.
I'll go through the cap before we get going so you can see that. Not a whole lot of reveiws on EVE here...so, hopefully this one will help you and give you some styling tips!

I loved this video. It actually made me buy this wig and I love it. You are so good at styling, adding texture, etc. thank you so much

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Aww...thank you, Karen! You are very sweet, and I am so happy that you were inspired to try this one out! Thanks for watching, and hope you are having a wonderful day!

[@juliegeorge945]

Hi Jill! Once again, we have to say a huge THANK YOU for your wonderful words of praise about our SqHair Bands. The Black one with Crystals looked beautiful with your wig - we think it makes most any hairstyle look that much m ore natural - although the way you work with your wigs - they don't need anymore help! You do a fabulous job styling them. Have a great week, Julie G' p.s. We have seen quite a few 'JILL' discounts used - YEAH!!!

[@kaylenwilson3242]

I bought a square band after your other video and mention you! Congratulations, it's always fun to get packages in the mail, and prizes🎉💖

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Aww...thank you, Kaylen! I hope you love your headband as much as I love mine! ;)

[@hmsc95]

Jill!!! Keep up the great work girl! You really worked your magic on this one and it totally looks sooo cute on you! Are you using the it stays still? I did use your trick you gave me about using the hair at the nape to kind of give something for your wig to hold on to (I was having issues keeping it from riding up in the back). It helped a lot on my Jon Renau Julianne, which I love! I still need to try and use the it stays around the front hair line and see if that will help even more. Love your chats girl...keep them coming! Oh btw...I need those ingenious headbands!!! 🤗👏🏽💜

[@joanniebarnett997]

I'm lovin the shorter look on you! What a transformation of that wig.your info is the best I've seen! You are giving me hope.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

That's amazing...thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that my little videos here are helping some people! Thanks also for the nice compliment AND for watching!

[@marysal54]

You did a great job jazzing it up.... it looks great. I would have to cut the asymmetrical piece a little because it would drive me crazy, but otherwise it is another winner!

[@DancinDeborah]

Jill, I'm in the market to buy a wig so I've watched some of your videos this past week. I love how you describe everything about the wigs so thoroughly... plus your sweet, and humorous, personality makes each video a lot of fun to watch as well. Thank you for doing these wig reviews--they are very helpful!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Awww...this is a sweet and encouraging comment to read this morning! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I am so happy that you are watching and enjoying my wig tutorials. I am thrilled that you are finding them helpful! Thanks for watching, and for this sweet compliment! Hugs~

[@shortnsassy1188]

Jill, I think it's fabulous on you.. love how you played with it and made it you. also, I adore Patty and all of her videos.. she's a hoot and just phenomenal on her info. thanks for sharing!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Thank you so much! LOVE you KZbin name. ;) I have learned mountains and gobs from Patti and her videos. She is such a hoot! Thanks for watching today!

I have worn wigs for years and I learned some more tips today, we can never stop learning how to improve our wig appearance.

Love your makeup at around the 23 minute section. And yes love those square headbands and YES super cool that you got those headbands. Yay !!!

[@sheripalmer3192]

Love this. It’s just like Reece from Noriko but without the permatease.

[@judyanne3563]

I thought it looked like a Jon Renau Ignite growing out

[@kimberlybeck886]

I ordered some headbands, & I used your name! They actually CALLED me & asked me whose video I watched about the headbands. THEN I didn't know what size to order so they sent me all three sizes...one free...! These headbands are SO adorable, fun, & they make great gifts!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Omy gosh! That is so awesome! Thanks for using my name. ;) They are wonderful. I wear them all the time in my wigs!

[@deboraht5079]

Eve totally suits you! Sometimes we can't see how good something looks for ourselves.

[@RobinBarr]

So far, my fav wig on you. Sophisticated, modern, simply love it on you!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

You are very sweet, thank you, Robin! I have to say that it is growing on me more and more! Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to write this sweet comment! Hugs~

[@jaceycorriveau503]

Hi Jill, I also love heat defiant wigs. My Raquel Welch and Jon Reneu pieces usually last 8-10 months before I have to re-order. At 8 months usually the first signs of wear begin to show and by the 10 month mark, the hair now is very dry and split-end, like. Up until the 8 month point the wigs really do look great. The only thing I do is wash them every 6 wears in a cold bath with a cap full of Johnsons baby shampoo. Then I spray them with Envys leave in conditioner and hang them upside down to dry.I have never had any issues with my heat defiant wigs not lasting as long as my regular synthetics have. I will say the fact that the Crowd Pleaser is my longest wig , helps with the lac of problems that I may of otherwise had if my wigs were very long. Actually, I think my Jon Reneu Haute wig may be a little longer then the Crowd Pleaser by R.W. Still though, I have no problems with Haute either. I will say I like the R.W True 2 Life fibers better then J.Rs heat defiant blend. I feel that J.Rs blend is somehow a little less soft then R.Ws.Jill, I recently found your channel and subscribed. May I just say thank-you for your videos ?I think you are such a delight!You are a very sweet and knowledgeable source.And Eve looks beautiful on you, by the way. I hope you enjoy this new piece. .

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hello Jacey! First off...thank you for the very kind words there at the end of your post. I appreciate the encouragement! WOW...I can only WISH I had the inkling that my wigs were going to last that long. BUT, there is just no way. I just washed my Straight Up With A Twist for the FIRST 'time yesterday, and it is not looking good! VERY dry, frizzy and looks like over-processed bleached hair. ;) I use a bit of JR shampoo for synthetic wigs, let it soak for 10 minutes in very cold water and rinse very, very well. Then, I spray the fibers down with the JR conditioning spray and let it dry on the dry rack. OH, and before I do wash them I spray with the HD detangling conditioning spray and gently comb with his wide tooth comb thing. Yeah, I do not know what the deal is! The only think that I can think of is that we have well water. I can see soaking them in Distilled water when I wash them, but it would take a lot of distilled water to rinse them with! I will try the other conditioning spray that you use. As for the baby shampoo...that still has harsh sulfates so I really doubt that will make much difference? Who knows! Thanks so much for posting this helpful information AND for watching. I appreciate you! Hugs!

[@dedemillikan2401]

Looks very cute on you! Mine is coming Saturday! In Palm Springs Blonde... do u wear this often?

[@Gee2three]

ok ok ..you made that Eve look so amazing..your the best teacher,I learn so much from your videos. sorry you didn't like it (feeling guilty).going to get a headband for sure...you are to cute,I don't think you have clue how awesome you are at reviews..keep them coming!!!!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Terri, WOW...this comment really made me smile, and made my day. I can't tell you how much a comment like this means to me since I am so new to all of this! It is beyond encouraging, and really appreciate that you watch, and that you wrote this sweet comment. Thank you! You will LOVE those dang headbands!! They are ALSO addicting! Hahaha! Hugs to you!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

PS...Don't feel guilty!! I do like it! I wore it all day at work, and it has grown on me quite a bit! ;)

[@onewithgreyhair]

Isn’t it funny how different we all are? I put Eve on right out of the box and loved her just shook her up a little bit combed her fluffed her up another ... “oh no ... maybe I’m boring” !

[@kvakma]

Wow, lots of great info on how to give these HD wigs some poof, umph, and plain body - you've helped me so much as I'm frustrated with the several. heat defiant I have. May go back to synthetics as I don't want to spend much daily time.......really appreciate your candor and experiences ~ glad I found your channel!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Aww...thank you, Kim! I am so happy you enjoyed this one. Thanks so much for watching, and for taking the time to post this sweet comment!

[@inspirationpoetry4880]

I ordered the Sqhair bands. Received them a few days ago. I also told them I found out about them through you. Thank you, Jill!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

SO nice of you. Thank you!

[@karrielynn4355]

It looks adorable! With some fluffing up... Even better!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hi Karrie! YES....lots and lots of fluffing! LOL

[@judyanne3563]

Cute wig...I just ordered one in pralines & cream

[@Nadia..J]

I really, really like it at around 7:05 (before) much more than puffed up (for want of better words). I know we like, what we like. &usually what we like is what suits us. But oh my, I think the original was very stylish, framed your face beautifully & more youthful. I'd love to be able to wear short hair like you - oh my, I really would!

[@Seeking_Myself]

Sadly can't get SqHairbands in Scotland. They look great!

[@jude526ify]

I am waiting on this to arrive. I like it and hope it looks good on me as well. Auburn color I am a redheads

[@sundaysommers1476]

So helpful. Thanks.

[@jackieporter8801]

i think you have done a great job and it so suits you

[@deborahmcadam7865]

Hi Jill, you were talking about wig sprays. I really like the one I got on Paula Youngs wig site. It's made by SCC, it's not sticky, dries fairly fast, brushes out, and it holds. The price is good as well. The regular price for 8 oz is $8.95, usually on sale, as it is now, for $5.95. I've never used the Jon Renau spray so I can't compare, but I was pleased when I tried this one as it held much better than the other ones I've used. Thanks for the great videos.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hello there, Deborah! This is excellent...thanks so much for sharing! I am really excited to give this a try. I am a 'product' user...(must be the cosmetologist in me)..and love there may be another option! Thanks so much for watching, and for the sweet compliment. ;) Hugs~

[@carolkir]

I like it on you. Seems like a longer variation on Ignite--which for me, would feel much more comfortable, especially in back. Good summer wig. Nice job "Pattifying" this wig!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hello there! Thank you ! Wellll..... I bought it thinking it would be a longer version of the Ignite..but , I have to warn you..(perhaps should have mentioned this in the video) it really is NOTHING close to it. Seems sort of like it would be, but truly...it isn't. At least, to me. :( Thanks so much for watching today! Hugs~

[@eileenlangdon3111]

Hi again. Well, I thought about soaking it in cold water, however, I know that heat is what really changes the style, so that idea inspired me, but instead of cold water I put a cup of water in the microwave and combed the hot water through the flip to try to settle it down more. It definitely helped but I’m not through yet. I, like you, am determined to make this work. Life would be so much easier if the wig looked like it’s pictured to begin with😉

[@eileenlangdon3111]

Ok.. one more update. I did it! Love it now! It was the part. Fixed that and happy now. Made all the difference. Thanks Jill.

[@gaylefahnestock2328]

didnt like it until you worked your magic...looks great now!! and when they are comfortable to wear all day..thats the main point.

[@juliemercer7648]

Hi Jill. So glad I came across your videos. My bio hair looks very much like yours with a little more thinning on top.😳 Menopause has really kicked by butt! Anyway I was wondering if you put the clips in this wig?

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hi Julie! I am super thin as well on top. THE main reason I cannot do anything with my hair anymore! The camera angle did not pick that up in the 'How I put on my wig' video. . ;) As for the clips...do you mean the wig I was wearing in the 'intro' part? OR the 'Eve'.. Ok, well I 'll answer both! LOL Yes, I put a clip in the UNITED wig that I am wearing in the introduction to this video. I have a whole 'journey' I went on with THAT one. I uploaded a video talking all about that nonsense! LOL SO, for me to wear that wig at all...it needs something in it! As for the EVE...no, I did not put any clips or anything in it throughout this video! I hope that answers your question...somewhere? HAHA! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kathleenryan8741]

Lol hi Jill...I reviewed this for CysterWigs..thats how I felt. I am stubborn and I liked the feel etc. and liked it enough to work with it. I actually ended up cutting the long piece off because it made no sense to me and putting some textured layers around the face..I love how you styled it though...I just found you..love your videos..your face shape is similar to mine...your bio hair is like mine so I'm excited to learn from you..thank you I'm so glad I found you..great tips and reviews...:-)

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hi Kathleen! First off thanks you for leaving this amazing comment. ;) You know...I have ALSO been thinking about trimming off that long piece! Because, you are so right...it really makes no sense. The cut does not 'gradually' start angling to that piece...it. just. appears. Have you tried dry shampooing it? It REALLY helps with creating that texture that this one really needs! I am so happy you found my little channel, and I am looking forward to more of you comments! Thanks so much for watching! Hugs~

[@kathleenryan8741]

Hi..I tried dry shampoo once on my JR Evan ( a short boycut in blonde brownie) abd I did something wrong because it just got white and I washed it out and never used it again..lol I got it through cysterwigs so folks use it on wigs...maybe I didn't shake it enough..I will try again..because yes thats the other thing it wants to cling to your face...thanks for the suggestion Jill. xxox all the best :-)

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

That can happen. You really do need to shake it, and also move it around fairly quickly when spraying. Also, don't hold it too close the hair. Experiment w/ different brands. I have learned they are all not created equal. I prefer 'Unwash' over the other that I bought. I got that one at Ulta.

[@janiegrohman6130]

I LOVE it! It's adorable!

[@karenskloset7559]

this is a beautiful Style on you it's definitely thinning to the face and I love the cut I kind of liked it right out of the box but I could understand about creating any kind of style to it other than just a Shaggy straight cut I think that every wig I've seen you in or speak about even though you don't like them I think they all look amazing on you you're very beautiful woman and for some reason I think that every style looks beautiful on you so I don't know I wouldn't be so hard on them because I would buy the ones that you probably critique very parsley cuz they're beautiful and they look beautiful on you this is from a stranger's point of view so thank you for sharing love your posts just keep them coming

Hi Karen! You are VERY VERY sweet! Thank you. ;)

[@nancyburnet4311]

Did you thin this wig? I bought it because I love it on you. I think it looks too thick on me. Please give me some advice as I am very very new wigs.

[@abitcrazy22]

I think that is a great haircut, and would actually make it a topper by cutting off the back of the wig and add some clips in the front.

[@susanandersen2150]

Are all of Jon Jenua's wigs caps so comfy? My Eve has spoiled me now! Great review as ususal! I thought Eve was handswen?

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hi there Susan! Well, my collection is slowly growing. I currently only have Jon Renau and Raquel Welch...I would say JR are a little more comfy with the exception of the 100% hand-tied variety. They are so so comfy in both lines! Eve is not hand- tied. ;) Here is a link to where you can see the cap construction! www.wigs.com/products/eve-lace-front-wig-jon-renau?variant=39669182026 Thanks for watching!

[@jackieporter8801]

does the piece out cream just wash out with water

[@ArchieLovesMe]

I think you made it look great! (And I bet it would be super hot in black.) But you're definitely working it.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hi Lisa! Thank you! ;) You know...I am REALLY tempted to start branching out into some different 'non blonde' colors. Just am really intimidated by all the choices. I have always wanted to go 'true' light blonde and so am a little obsessed with trying the blondes at the mome...but, really tempted. Thank you for watching!!

[@ArchieLovesMe]

I was thinking really light blonde too! I think the boldness of the light blonde or a black might kick that one up a notch. But I still do love it as is on you. You really gave it the edge it needed.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

OH yea...AGREE!! I wish it were a really light blonde...like, the Shaded Biscuit in the RW line! ;)

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

I put in so much product, that even when I brushed it out for the evening, and put it on for the next wear...it didn't take much to style her for the day. It does 'fall' a bit through the day...but with a finger fluff here and there she seems to be good! Now, after I wash her...I'll have to re-style her to get that texture back.

[@MsMollyone]

Just bought her…I always add bangs! Only paid $55

[@eileenlangdon3111]

Hi Jill. I know this is an older video, and maybe you won’t see this comment, but I had to write anyway. This was so helpful! I just received Amal from ROP, my first ROP. It looks nothing like any of the pictures. The manufacturers shouldn’t mislead us into thinking what is pictured is what we are getting. Or at least give us instructions on how to get the style shown. At any rate, I am left with a wig that looks like a 60’s flip and am trying so hard to make it me😊. It is not heat defiant so I am at a loss. When I tried it on I did the same as you mention in this video. I was going to send it right back and then decided product is what it needs. I used your dry shampoo tip and it helped, but what would you do to get rid of the ridiculous flip? It’s supposed to be a layered bob with soft curls. 🤨. Thanks, Eileen

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

HI Eileen! You may try soaking her in very cold water....do the regular to get excess water out, and let her dry on a stand. Maybe it will tame that flip a little? If it's not heat defiant...it can be hard to change. I know some people can use various heating devices with success on regular fibers...but, I haven't had success trying that. :/ If worse comes to worse...you could try cutting the length? I don't know how long it is?? Let me know how it goes, and good luck.

[@pinkcandyleah3468]

I just got Eve as well and only tried it on once and it wasnt so great lol. I will try and mess with it like you did! i have the wig in color 4

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hello there! Oh boy...yeah, I was quite deflated when I put her on. ;) You CAN make it work because it is shaped nicely, and that is all it takes! Get the dry shampoo, hold spray , and piece out creme' and go to town! Ha! Thanks for watching!

[@Gee2three]

Pink Candy Lia ,Pink Candy Lia ,may I ask..is a 4 a good color,I got it in 4/33,It's a nice but a bit to much red in daylight...i want to try 4 was afraid it would be to flat ...we need a brown that is shaded like shaded prailen .

[@pinkcandyleah3468]

Terri a.k.a Gee 2 three a 4 is pretty plain - just a super dark brown almost black. Yes I never tried 4 33 because I avoid reds. I wish there were more brown options. I want to try the chocolate color midnight cocoa

[@janetcoric5621]

LOL - I'm home & while I'm cleaning I'm also deciding on my next wig purchase (just started full-time wearing this Spring). I'm watching you with the Eve video & decide to dry shampoo & spray my "Karla" to get some texture into her. So - I'm spraying my dry shampoo on while wearing the wig and a navy t-shirt!! Don't do this!!!
