WIG REVIEW | Jon Renau Scarlett in the color Hot Cocoa 8RH14 | Lace front, curly wig!

[@gailreske7111]

The color & length look lovely on you & you're great in getting a wig looking wearable!!! The Scarlet I had was a permatese mess & I remember the lace front was picky feeling. My issue was the bangs.

[@heywigsister]

I love that steam works so well to help train bangs.... I have her on today and really loving her! I did a little twist with the bangs which helps keep them off my face at work (I shared pictures on Instagram and the WigStudio 1 Facebook page if you are curious).

[@lorim9304]

Awesome review!! I love how you showed all your steps...but started with the end results!! I can not believe how different the wig looked out of the box!!! This video gave me hope for a wig t hat I purchased a month ago ( Janelle by Noriko)....she looks nothing like what I saw on revews, the front of her just falls in .I face.she's been on a wig stand this whole time, trying v to see if she magically (lol) will look wearable at some point...after seeing your full vudeo, I know now, that she needs some steam!! Keep doing videos like this please...your yes hung us SO much about this wig lifestyle of ours!!! Scarlett looks great!!

[@heywigsister]

I'm realizing how important it is to show the whole journey with these wigs. For new wigs wearers especially because it can be so hard to know what to do.

[@lisamarie5223]

That is adorable on you Denise. Love the color also. Your reviews are wonderful. God bless!! 💖💖💖

[@WigStudio1]

Love this review Denise. I really enjoy seeing these out of the box and then with some styling tips, as well as in outdoor lighting. Very thorough. Thank you!!! xoxo

[@heywigsister]

Thank you!

[@melissacarter7936]

excellent video with such great information. thank you for your eval and education. Especially the steaming part.

[@heywigsister]

You bet!!

[@doodica193]

Another great video! Loved the end where you demonstrated the steaming. Very helpful!

[@heywigsister]

❤❤

[@bjerles]

It looks more golden indoors. Almost a black ore dark gray outside. I am going to have to work on my Scarlett. I was so excited to get her but she needs a little lift off the face too. I got a fun red color! You look gorgeous in Scarlet!

[@heywigsister]

I agree. I think my bathroom lighting warms up colors, so I think it is critical I show then both in there and outside.

[@Rita-bw3wh]

I'm learning more and more about wigs and can make them workable for me. Thanks for that.

[@heywigsister]

I'm so glad and you are welcome!

[@michellem9275]

I would love this wig.💖

[@heywigsister]

I am really loving her, Michelle. Wearing her right now as I type this!

[@MoonfishSparkle]

Very pretty and natural looking!! Love her on you!!

[@heywigsister]

Thank you!

[@FrancesHart99]

Great work, you made that wig wearable. It’s so helpful to show al the stages and techniques.

[@heywigsister]

❤❤ it is an important skill to learn if you are going to be wearing wigs.

[@forty2alz22]

I totally agree

[@Pam1123]

Great review! The steaming part was very helpful. Thank you! 💖

[@heywigsister]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@juliemann3243]

Thanks so much for the color description--I need ashy brown-such a pretty color. Thank you!

[@heywigsister]

It is definitely ashier than a lot of brunettes... I just pulled her out recently and was reminded of that

[@cassiebrown9786]

I believe in 2nd chances. So glad you love this new beauty! Hugs, Cassie.

[@heywigsister]

Me too! Thank you!

[@kapirk2244]

I like her right out of the box. I like the way the curls look, and I like the curls after also. She is very pretty on you.

[@heywigsister]

Thank you!! I love her with hats in the winter!

[@pattycarosi9618]

I really like how you show what you did this is very helpful. Very cute wig! She looks really pretty on you. You really have beautiful skin I must say. Always enjoy your reviews. Thank you

[@heywigsister]

Thank you!

[@andycummings2900]

I bought a preloved Scarlett suppose to be in excellent condition & came so tangled. Have been working on her to try to get it wearable. I’ll try some of your tips. Our measurements are very similar & my ear tabs are above my ears also. Wanted to try Jon Renau & this was a way to try but have heard some not positive reviews in the fibers. Don’t know if it was the way the sister cared for her or the nature of JR. Love the way it looks on you & your review.

[@heywigsister]

My first was so bad.... maybe it is the fibers after time.... so hard to know. I will update everyone on this piece after some wear. I just do3nt have a ton of experience with Jon Renau... although I do have Kristi and she is WELL loved by someone before me AND me and she is still going strong.... but she is straight and that probably makes a difference.

[@soniaj4892]

Great review. Scarlett was one of my first wigs. I love mine and consider her my ‘workhorse ‘ wig!

[@heywigsister]

Great to know!

[@kathyw981]

It's nice to know where you can buy a good wig. Thanks for the review. I went on Wig Studio 1 looked up scarlett and there you were. Awesome

[@heywigsister]

I have bought multiple wigs from them! I planning to do a video of all the places I have purchased a wig so far because I know it can be tricky.

[@elainedowell820]

I just came across this wonderful review; thank you. I think it must be fate; I have this wig on order in this exact shade. I did get the large cap though. I've had curly wigs arrive and come out of the box one hot mess. This video gives me confidence that I can make this piece my own and not get discouraged. Thanks again.

[@heywigsister]

I hope you love her, but would love to hear! Sometimes I struggle with the permatease poof on top, but I love the way she looks like hats in the winter!

[@margaretkoppes4070]

Been thinking of getting Scarlett - thx for the review!

[@heywigsister]

You are welcome!

[@marinayagudayeva7863]

Thank you for review. With steaming we can do a lot, and give your wigs a new style.

[@heywigsister]

Totally! I am working on steaming some curls into a wig. I filmed some of it already but messed up the front, and just haven't had time to work on fixing it so I can finish the video.... lol.

[@forty2alz22]

I love your review, esp. about the Permatease. Thank you.

[@heywigsister]

You bet!

[@lucysky384]

Really love this color.

[@heywigsister]

I agree! It is so pretty!

[@sarahharless5044]

great help. i didnt even know about steamers.

[@heywigsister]

💖

[@mileetn]

I am waiting on a Scarlett from a wig sister and I hope I have a better experience than your first one and some other comments here. She looks great on you.

[@heywigsister]

Good luck! I think Scarlett is hit or miss, unfortunately, but if a wig sister is sending it maybe it is one of the good ones. My husband loves this one.

[@MarieAnny]

Fantastic review, Denise. May I ask which wig are you wearing in the steaming portion? Looks lovely on you!

[@heywigsister]

Thank you! I'm wearing Ellen Wille Turn in Chocolate Mix in the steaming portion

[@darcielewandowski6051]

Thanks for the insight on Scarlett. I didn’t know you were in MN. I am too. How do you handle wearing wigs in the winter? I just started wearing them a few months ago.

[@heywigsister]

Hi, Darcie! I find wearing them in the winter is MUCH easier than in the summer. I have a few that are perfect for wearing with hats so if I am going to be outside for a period of time and need to bundle up, I'm good... and I LOVE that they don't get hat hair like bio hair does!! One thing I would keep in mind is that they can start to feel a little dry if you leave them out on a wig head.... last winter I had a number of them just out on a wig head in my bathroom, this winter I plan to keep more in their boxes. I am going to do a video on this, maybe this weekend!

[@sharongarrity7744]

I have gotten a Scarlett and she is very thin and the permatease is more visible than the actual longer hair. Am hopeful that I can get her to look wearable

[@heywigsister]

My first one was really a disaster but this one is great. Sounds like there are some significant differences between pieces.

[@sarahharless5044]

have you done a review on gabor belle?

[@heywigsister]

No, I haven't even heard of that one so I had to look it up. CUTE!

[@QueenVictoriaRose]

I am very interested in your perspective on Jon Renau's Hot color Cocoa 8RH14 I am working towards purchasing my first wig, leaning towards Jessica, so I have nothing to compare with. I don't really want a red-brown wig, but more importantly, I must avoid blue or green-brown undertones to the brown wigs (ash) as they make my complexion very sallow. Does hot cocoa give off the blue-green-brown hue? Do you recommend a better color? I think I like the Gabor sunlit chestnut (as sgi=hown in t=youtube videos) but have no ideas of their real undertones, either. Secondly, are the highlights more blended, or are they mostly thick like ribbons? Thank you very much for your response.

[@heywigsister]

Hmmm, this is such a great question. I truly cannot see a blue-green-brown hue, but I have a feeling that this is something that might be hard for some people to see, do you think that could be the case? I very much do not want to steer you wrong, but I can't see anything like that. This is just a very mild neutral brown. Also, the highlights are VERY much blended and not thick ribbons at all... it just brightens up the color a bit. Very subtle.

[@QueenVictoriaRose]

@@heywigsister Thank you very much for your response. I am relieved that you can't see blue-green-brown hue, so I finely did order Jessica in Hot Cocoa. I appreciate you getting back to me.

[@carlaxoxox7816]

How do you know if you can steam a lace front wig? I purchased several years ago but didn’t wear the wigs because of insecurity. I am working on owning my wigs now. The wig shop that I purchased from will not tell me the name of my wigs but i think one might be the Scarlett and my top needs help.

[@heywigsister]

I think you can steam all of them, just be careful not to hit the lace with the steam.

[@lindalittle6802]

Nothing helped my Scarlett. Gave her away.
