Scarlett Petite by Jon Renau
Item 5986 | Medium-Length Wavy Lace Front Wig for Petite Head Sizes
Lightweight Open Cap Wig with SmartLace® Front and Effortless Beach Wave Style
The Scarlett Petite by Jon Renau (Item 5986) is a medium-length wavy wig designed specifically for women with smaller head circumferences who want a relaxed, natural-looking beach wave style with maximum breathability and all-day comfort. Part of Jon Renau's SmartLace Collection, the Scarlett Petite features a SmartLace® lace front for an undetectable hairline and an open cap (capless) construction that promotes active airflow to the scalp — making it one of the most breathable petite-sized wigs in the Jon Renau lineup.
Why Choose the Scarlett Petite?
The Scarlett Petite is built for women who want a carefree, beachy wave style that fits properly, feels lightweight, and requires almost no maintenance. Its petite cap construction is sized specifically for smaller head circumferences, providing a more secure and comfortable fit than an average-size cap worn on a smaller head — eliminating the shifting, slipping, and bunching that comes from wearing the wrong cap size.
The SmartLace® front creates an undetectable front hairline that lies flat against the skin and blends convincingly across a wide range of skin tones. The open cap back promotes maximum airflow, keeping the scalp cool and comfortable through extended all-day wear. And the pre-set beach wave style arrives ready to wear — shake it out, adjust it, and go. No heat tools, no styling routine, no effort required.
At just 3.5 ounces, the Scarlett Petite is genuinely lightweight — easy to wear from morning through evening without scalp fatigue or heaviness.
Construction Breakdown: What Makes the Scarlett Petite Different
SmartLace® Front — Jon Renau's proprietary lace front technology creates a finer, more precisely engineered lace panel that lies flatter against the skin and blends more convincingly than standard lace fronts across a wider range of skin tones. The result is a consistently undetectable front hairline in natural daylight, office lighting, and close-range social settings.
Open Cap (Capless) Construction — The back and sides of the Scarlett Petite use open wefted capless construction — rows of hair attached to open cap strips rather than a solid panel, leaving space between for active air circulation. This is the most breathable cap construction available in synthetic wigs, making the Scarlett Petite an excellent choice for warm climates, active lifestyles, and wearers who are sensitive to scalp heat.
Petite Cap Sizing — The Scarlett Petite is specifically constructed for smaller head circumferences, ensuring a secure fit that stays in place without adjustment throughout the day. It is also available in an average cap size for wearers who prefer the same style with a larger fit.
Why Petite Sizing Matters
This is a detail that significantly impacts wearability and is often underappreciated by first-time wig buyers. Wearing an average-size cap on a smaller head creates a fit that is too wide at the temples, too loose across the crown, and prone to shifting forward, backward, or to the side throughout the day. The result is a wig that never feels fully secure and requires constant readjustment.
The Scarlett Petite is sized from the ground up for smaller head circumferences — meaning the cap sits where it's supposed to sit, stays where it's supposed to stay, and fits with the snug, confident security that makes wearing a wig feel natural rather than precarious.
If you've experienced fit issues with average-size caps in the past, the Scarlett Petite's petite construction may be the single most impactful upgrade available to you.

Care Instructions
Washing — Wash every 8 to 12 wears using shampoo and conditioner formulated specifically for synthetic wigs. Cool water only. Gently swish and rinse without scrubbing, wringing, or rubbing the fibers.
Detangling — Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush, always starting from the ends and working gradually upward. Never pull through tangles from the root down.
Refreshing Between Washes — The Scarlett Petite's beach wave style can be refreshed between washes with a light mist of water and gentle finger-styling to reshape the waves.
Drying — Air dry on a wig stand after washing. Never apply heat to dry a wet synthetic wig. Allow the wave pattern to reform naturally as the fiber dries.
Storage — Store on a wig stand between wears to maintain the cap shape, protect the wave pattern from compression, and prevent tangling.
Heat Tools — The Scarlett Petite uses standard synthetic fiber that is not heat-friendly. Do not use flat irons, curling irons, curling wands, or blow dryers on this style. The beach wave pattern is pre-set and arrives ready to wear.
Available Colors
The Scarlett Petite is available in a range of Jon Renau shaded and highlighted tones spanning deep brunettes to warm blondes: FS2V/31V, 12FS8, and 4/33. Jon Renau's FS (Frosted/Shaded) tones blend darker root shading with multitonal mid-lengths and highlighted ends — creating a dimensional, naturally grown-out color result that flat single-tone synthetic colors cannot replicate. Colors shown: 4/33 and 12FS8.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "petite cap" mean and how do I know if I need one? A petite cap is sized for smaller head circumferences — typically under 21 inches. If you've worn average-size wigs that feel too wide at the temples, slip toward the front or back, or require constant readjustment, a petite cap is likely the correct fit for you. The Scarlett Petite is also available in an average cap size for wearers with standard head circumferences who prefer the same style.
Is the Scarlett Petite heat-friendly? No. The Scarlett Petite uses standard synthetic fiber that cannot withstand heat styling tools. The beach wave style arrives pre-set and ready to wear — simply shake out the style, finger-adjust as needed, and wear. Refresh the waves between washes with a light mist of cool water and gentle finger-styling.
What is SmartLace® and why does it matter? SmartLace® is Jon Renau's proprietary lace front technology — a more finely engineered lace panel that lies flatter against the skin and blends more convincingly with a wider range of skin tones than standard lace front panels. For the Scarlett Petite's beach wave style, which naturally moves away from the face and draws attention toward the front hairline, SmartLace® ensures the hairline looks completely natural in every styling position.
What is an open cap (capless) construction? An open cap — also called capless construction — uses open rows of wefted hair strips rather than a solid cap panel at the back and sides. The open spaces between the wefts allow active air circulation to the scalp, creating significantly more breathability than closed cap constructions. For wearers in warm climates, active lifestyles, or those sensitive to scalp heat, capless construction is one of the most important comfort features available.
Who is the Scarlett Petite best suited for? The Scarlett Petite is ideal for women with smaller head circumferences who want a medium-length beachy wave style with a natural-looking lace front hairline, maximum breathability, and minimal daily maintenance. It suits women experiencing hair loss from alopecia, chemotherapy, or other causes, active women who need a lightweight wig that stays secure through movement, and anyone who's struggled with average-size caps that don't fit properly.
How does the Scarlett Petite differ from the Scarlett in Average size? The Scarlett Petite and the Scarlett Average share the same SmartLace® lace front, open cap construction, synthetic fiber, and beach wave style. The only difference is cap size — the Petite is constructed for smaller head circumferences, providing a more secure, properly fitted wear experience for women whose head size falls below the average cap range.
Is the Scarlett Petite a good option for women experiencing hair loss? Yes. The SmartLace® front creates an undetectable natural hairline that blends convincingly with the skin. The lightweight open cap minimizes scalp pressure and heat during sensitive periods. And the petite fit reduces shifting and slipping throughout the day — providing the kind of confident, secure wear that matters especially for women managing hair loss. For women with total hair loss, using a wig grip band or adjustable strap accessories alongside the Scarlett Petite provides additional security.
