Emilia by Jon Renau: The Long Bob Reinvented with a Signature Bang
Emilia by Jon Renau takes one of the most universally flattering haircut silhouettes — the long bob — and gives it an unmistakable personality upgrade: a built-in bang. This SmartLace synthetic wig is pert, polished, and face-framing in a way that a standard lob simply cannot match. If you have always loved the lob but wanted something a little more signature, Emilia delivers exactly that.
The Defining Feature: Emilia's Built-In Bang
What separates Emilia from the dozens of long bob styles in Jon Renau's SmartLace Collection is its fringe. At 4.5 inches, the bang sits at a length that is genuinely versatile:
- Wear it straight across for a bold, graphic statement.
- Sweep it to one side for a softer, more casual look.
- Pin it back entirely when you want a completely different silhouette — the cap construction keeps the style natural-looking from every angle.
Beyond styling options, the fringe does real work. Bangs draw immediate attention to the eyes and upper face, soften the forehead, add youthful energy, and create a recognizable style signature that sets Emilia apart in any room.
Cap Construction: Premium Realism Where It Matters Most
Emilia is built on a three-part cap that balances naturalism with everyday practicality.
Extended Ear Lace Front
Jon Renau's SmartLace® front extends further toward the ears than a conventional lace front, creating a wide, skin-blending hairline zone from temple to temple. In a bang-forward style like Emilia, where the front hairline is constantly on display, this wider coverage is especially impactful. Deep side parts, hair tucked behind the ear, and swept-bang styles all remain convincingly natural — a meaningful advantage over standard lace fronts.
Single Monofilament Top
Each hair at the crown is individually hand-sewn onto a transparent monofilament base, providing a realistic scalp appearance and multidirectional parting freedom. This is particularly important where the fringe transitions into the crown — the monofilament ensures that seam looks organic from any viewing angle.
Machine Wefted Back
The back of the cap uses machine-sewn weft construction, keeping the overall weight low and contributing to a durable, wash-friendly structure. At 3.6 oz, Emilia is a notably lightweight long bob — ideal for all-day wear without fatigue.
Style Measurements at a Glance
- Bang (fringe): 4.5 inches
- Crown: 12 inches
- Sides: 8.75 inches
- Nape: 5 inches
- Weight: 3.6 oz
The shorter nape relative to the crown and sides creates the subtle graduation that gives the lob its characteristic shape from behind — structured and clean without feeling heavy.
Who Is Emilia For?
Emilia is an excellent match for wearers who:
- Love the long bob silhouette but want a more distinctive, personality-driven look.
- Want a face-framing fringe that softens the forehead or flatters a longer face shape.
- Need a lightweight, everyday wig that holds up through regular wear and washing.
- Value a natural-looking hairline — especially when wearing the bang swept to one side or pinned back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of wig is Emilia by Jon Renau?
Emilia by Jon Renau is a SmartLace synthetic wig featuring a long bob silhouette with a built-in bang. Its cap combines an extended ear lace front, a single monofilament top, and a machine wefted back — delivering a natural-looking hairline, multidirectional parting at the crown, and a lightweight overall feel at just 3.6 oz.
How long is the bang on Emilia?
Emilia's fringe measures 4.5 inches — long enough to sweep to the side or wear straight across, and short enough to create clear, face-framing impact. The bang can also be pinned back entirely, giving wearers significant styling flexibility within a single wig.
What is an extended ear lace front and why does it matter on Emilia?
An extended ear lace front is a wider lace panel that reaches further toward the ears than a standard lace front. On Emilia, this means the natural-looking hairline spans from temple to temple and toward both ears — critical in a style where the front hairline is always visible, especially when the bang is swept to one side or the hair is tucked behind the ear.
Can I part Emilia's hair in different directions?
Yes. Emilia's single monofilament top allows multidirectional parting across the crown. Combined with the extended ear lace front, this means you can shift your part, sweep the bang to either side, or experiment with different styling approaches without losing the natural, realistic appearance at the scalp.
Is Emilia by Jon Renau good for everyday wear?
Emilia is designed with daily wear in mind. At 3.6 oz, it is a lightweight long bob that minimizes fatigue during extended wear. The machine wefted back construction also contributes to durability through regular wear and washing cycles, making it a practical choice for an everyday signature style.
