Katherine by Jon Renau: Long Wavy SmartLace™ Wig with Side-Swept Bangs

Katherine by Jon Renau is a long SmartLace™ lace front synthetic wig designed around a casually side-swept bang, flowing wavy layers, and an open cap construction built specifically for breathability — a combination that makes it one of the most effortlessly wearable long wave styles in the Jon Renau lineup.

Style at a Glance

Katherine's defining aesthetic is its casually side-swept bangs. At 5 inches, they sweep naturally to one side with an organic, unstudied quality — not sharply styled, just softly fallen — creating a gentle diagonal framing line across the forehead that draws attention toward the eyes and cheekbones. It is a look that flatters a wide range of face shapes and requires no deliberate daily arrangement to achieve.

The bang transitions seamlessly into the longer wavy layers throughout the style. Key length measurements include:

  • Crown: 12 inches
  • Sides: 11 inches
  • Nape: 10 inches
  • Bang: 5 inches
  • Total weight: 4.2 oz

Those proportions create a full, flowing wave silhouette where the bang blends organically into the body of the style rather than sitting as a distinct section.

Cap Construction

SmartLace™ Lace Front

Katherine is built on Jon Renau's SmartLace™ lace front, which creates a completely natural-looking hairline — sheer lace material that sits flush against the skin and effectively disappears from view. In Katherine specifically, the SmartLace™ front is where the side-swept bang originates, meaning the casual, effortless sweep begins from a hairline that looks genuinely real. The front holds securely throughout the day without tape or glue, even as the weight of the longer layers creates gentle ongoing tension.

Open Cap for Ventilation

Beneath the SmartLace™ front, Katherine uses an open cap construction that Jon Renau specifically designed to provide added ventilation. For a long wig — where heat and weight accumulation are the primary comfort challenges — this breathability-first cap design is a deliberate and meaningful priority. At 4.2 oz, Katherine is already light for its length, and the open cap's enhanced airflow makes extended daily wear noticeably more comfortable.

Who Is Katherine For?

Katherine is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a long, naturally beautiful wave style with minimal daily effort. The casually side-swept bang is universally flattering and particularly well-suited to wearers looking for soft asymmetry at the forehead. The SmartLace™ front makes it appropriate for wearers who prioritize a convincing hairline, and the open cap construction makes it a strong option for those sensitive to heat or planning extended wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of wig is Katherine by Jon Renau?

Katherine by Jon Renau is a long synthetic lace front wig featuring Jon Renau's SmartLace™ technology and an open cap construction. It offers casually side-swept bangs at 5 inches, wavy layers with a 12-inch crown, and a total weight of 4.2 oz — making it a lightweight, breathable option in a long wave style.

Does Katherine have a natural-looking hairline?

Yes. Katherine's SmartLace™ lace front creates a natural, undetectable hairline where the side-swept bang originates. The sheer lace material sits flush against the skin and is effectively invisible from any viewing angle, giving the casual sweep of the bang a completely convincing, natural appearance from its origin point at the forehead.

Is Katherine comfortable for all-day wear?

Katherine is designed with comfort as a priority. At 4.2 oz, it is light for a long-length wig, and its open cap construction provides added ventilation to reduce heat buildup during extended wear. These two features work together to make all-day wear more manageable than a standard closed cap of comparable length.

What face shapes work well with Katherine's side-swept bangs?

Side-swept bangs create a soft diagonal framing line that tends to be flattering across a wide range of face shapes — particularly because the asymmetry avoids the horizontal division that straight-across bangs create.
