Elle by Jon Renau
What Is Elle by Jon Renau?
Elle by Jon Renau is a chic, sleek long bob (lob) from Jon Renau's premium SmartLace Collection. Combining a lace front and single monofilament top with an open wefted cap, Elle delivers a supremely natural appearance and multidirectional parting freedom — all while keeping the overall wearing experience lightweight, breathable, and comfortable enough for all-day use.
Style and Measurements
Elle occupies the sweet spot between a classic bob and a longer style. Its proportions are carefully engineered to frame the face while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish:
- Bang: 7.5 inches
- Crown: 14 inches
- Sides: 10 inches
- Nape: 6.5 inches
- Overall weight: 4 oz
The shorter nape creates a subtle stacked effect at the back, giving the lob its distinctive shape. The finish is smooth and polished — a clean, graphic style rather than a textured or tousled one.
Cap Construction: SmartLace Lace Front and Monofilament Top
Elle by Jon Renau is built on three complementary construction elements that balance realism and comfort:
- SmartLace Lace Front — Jon Renau's proprietary sheer lace panel creates a seamless, skin-blending hairline that is virtually undetectable in natural light. It supports center, side, and deep side parting, as well as styles swept away from the face.
- Single Monofilament Top — Each hair at the crown is individually hand-sewn onto a transparent monofilament base, producing a scalp-like appearance and true multidirectional parting capability across the top of the wig.
- Open Wefted Cap Back — Hair is sewn onto widely spaced weft tracks with open spaces between them, maximizing airflow between cap and scalp and contributing directly to Elle's light 4 oz weight.
The Open Wefted Cap: Breathability as a Priority
The open wefted construction is one of Elle's most practically important design choices. Key benefits include:
- Maximum breathability — Air circulates freely between cap and scalp, reducing heat buildup throughout the day. Especially beneficial in warm climates or during physical activity.
- Lightweight feel — Less material than a solid or densely constructed cap keeps Elle at a comfortable 4 oz for extended wear.
- Natural scalp ventilation — Airflow helps manage moisture and perspiration, keeping the wearing experience fresher over time.
- Durability — Weft construction holds up well through regular washing and daily wear cycles.
Is Elle by Jon Renau Right for You?
Elle is an excellent choice if you are looking for a polished, low-maintenance long bob with serious all-day comfort. It suits wearers who prioritize a natural hairline and versatile parting options, but do not want the added weight or warmth of a fully hand-tied cap. Not sure about sizing or color?
