Carrie Lite Petite by Jon Renau: The Iconic Bob, Reimagined for Petite Heads

The Carrie Lite Petite by Jon Renau brings the shoulder-length bob that made Jon Renau famous to women with smaller head sizes — crafted in 100% Remy human hair and built on an innovative SmartLace™ Lite Petite cap designed for all-day comfort. Whether you're managing hair loss or simply want a natural, effortlessly styled look, this wig delivers premium quality with a featherlight feel.

Cap Construction

The Carrie Lite Petite is built on Jon Renau's SmartLace® Lite Petite cap — a thoughtfully engineered foundation that combines several premium features into one comfortable, secure fit:

  • Lace Front (SmartLace®): A seamless ear-to-ear lace front blends invisibly with your skin and allows you to style hair away from your face with complete confidence.
  • Monofilament Top: Each strand is hand-tied at the top of the cap so you can part your hair in any direction, creating a realistic natural-growth appearance at the scalp.
  • 100% Hand-Tied Construction: Every strand throughout the cap is individually hand-tied, maximizing both natural movement and comfort against the scalp — ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Polyurethane Ear Tabs: Flex naturally with your movements for a comfortable, uninterrupted fit.
  • Non-Slip Silicone Nape: Keeps the wig secure throughout the day without constant readjusting or the need for adhesives.

Fiber & Styling

Carrie Lite Petite is crafted from 100% Remy human hair with intact cuticles, which means it resists tangling, maintains a naturally healthy appearance, and responds to heat styling just like your own hair.

  • Heat styling: Curl, straighten, or blow-dry using tools between 275°F–300°F for best results and longevity.
  • Heat protectant: Always apply a heat protectant before styling to preserve cuticle integrity.
  • Wear it as-is: The bob falls beautifully without any styling effort required.

Who Is the Carrie Lite Petite Right For?

The Carrie Lite Petite by Jon Renau is an excellent choice for women with smaller head circumferences who want a natural-looking, shoulder-length bob in genuine human hair. Its light density construction wears virtually weightless at just 4 oz., making it especially comfortable for extended daily wear.

It's also a compassionate option for women experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy or alopecia — the monofilament top mimics a natural scalp, the SmartLace® front creates an undetectable hairline, and the hand-tied cap is gentle against sensitive scalps. The non-slip silicone nape provides secure hold without adhesives.

The bob silhouette is particularly flattering on oval, round, and heart-shaped faces. Use our Face Shape Analyzer to confirm it's the right match for you.

Care & Maintenance

With the right routine, the Carrie Lite Petite by Jon Renau can last 12–18 months with daily wear — and significantly longer with occasional use.

  • Wash every 10–15 wears, or sooner if product buildup is noticeable.
  • Use a moisturizing shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in treatment formulated for Remy human hair.
  • Gently detangle before washing; rinse with cool water.
  • Air-dry on a wig stand — avoid rubbing or wringing to prevent frizz.
  • Store on a wig stand when not in use to preserve the cap shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Carrie Lite Petite by Jon Renau a good wig for small head sizes?

Yes. The Carrie Lite Petite is designed specifically for petite head circumferences using Jon Renau's SmartLace® Lite Petite cap.

Confirm your measurements before ordering using our Wig Size Chart by Brand.

Can I use heat tools on the Carrie Lite Petite?

Yes — the Carrie Lite Petite is made from 100% Remy human hair, so it can be curled, straightened, or blow-dried just like natural hair. Jon Renau recommends keeping heat tools between 275°F and 300°F for best results. Always use a heat protectant spray before applying any heat to help preserve cuticle integrity and extend the life of your wig.
