My Favorite Wig Ever
February 4, 2014 - Author: Mar - 4 CommentsI will start by talking about the best wig I have ever owned. Here it is:
Jon Renau’s Spicy – Color: 12FS8.
(Yeah I am a Broncos fan – cry for me.)
My softball team nicknamed this wig “Candy.” I ordered her through a wig store in Houston and they were able to ship it to me at school (they are wonderful – check them out if you are in the Houston area, gaylawigs.com). This picture is from the fall of 2012, and at that point this wig almost a year old!
This wig lasted me close to a year and half. I liked the color because it looked like I had gotten lazy and let my roots grow out, I actually had no idea it would look like that when I ordered it, but it was perfect for a college kid just looking to fit in. It is heat resistant (read instructions before using heat), which was great because it comes out of the box like this:
I loved the heat resistant aspect of this wig because it allowed me to straighten out the fray. As any seasoned wig owner knows, the problem with long synthetic wigs is that they typically rub on your clothes all day, leaving the ends of your hair frayed. This leads to tangles and a less-than-realistic look. (Or very realistic, as my friends have said – “hey, you have bad hair days too!”) The ability to straighten the ends out with heat was one way I kept my Spicy looking great for almost 2 years.
It did not curl as easily as I had hoped, although I was able to give it a little volume if I really tried. I don’t really like the curly look – so I always wore it straight.
Another great thing about this wig is the lace front. No bangs – no problem! Makes styling (pony-tails, up-dos) much easier. Over time, as with any synthetic wig, it began to wear-out and I eventually had to retire my Spicy. It was a sad day for me, but recently I ordered another (post forthcoming) in a different color. Also, the Spicy wig is hand-tied (note the extra cost), making it extremely comfortable to wear compared to other synthetic wigs.
If you are looking for a wig that looks natural, is comfortable, will last a long time, and is easily styled check out the Spicy by Jon Renau!

I like Spicy. You can rock any color! I really like the brown wig, thiugh. It makes your blue eyes pop. Does the same company have a wig like Spicy in brown?
pace just recently told me about your alopecia (like the night we went to dinner). I honestly had no clue until he told me. This while time! Lol . I admire you for being so open to share your story.
Thanks Courtney! Yes, I just bought the Spicy in a brown color. I will post about it later!
Marlina, I agree with Courtney. The brown looks stunning on you. I’m jealous! Anyway, props on the blog. I’ll be sure to pass it around
I have alopecia as well and am old enough to be your mom. You are a very good writer and I really like your blog! Keep up the good work! I have a few wigs I love and they are mostly HH, but synthetics are great as well. One of my favorites is RW Enigma–this can be styled many ways–I have 3 in various lengths–looks great with a baseball cap.
