Fiber Type and Styling

Amara is made from standard synthetic fiber, which means it arrives pre-styled and requires no heat tools to maintain its shape. Do not use flat irons or curling wands on this wig. To refresh the style, use a wide-tooth comb and cool water. For a full breakdown of fiber types and what that means for your styling routine, visit MyHairMail's Wig Fiber Guide.

Care and Longevity

Wash the Amara every 6–8 wears using a sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo in cool water. Gently swish, rinse thoroughly, apply a synthetic-safe conditioner, pat dry, and air dry on a wig stand to preserve the pixie shape. With consistent care, the wig typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear, or up to 12 months or longer when worn a few times per week.

Is Amara by Rene of Paris Right for You?

The Amara by Rene of Paris is a strong fit if you want a ready-to-wear pixie cut that needs no styling effort at home. The side fringe works especially well for oval, heart, and square face shapes as a flattering softener around the forehead. It's suitable for everyday wear, travel, and anyone new to wigs.
