Maya by Jon Renau
Meet Maya by Jon Renau: Effortless Spiral Curls with a Natural Finish
The Maya by Jon Renau is a beautifully crafted synthetic wig designed for anyone who wants defined spiral curls and a naturally seamless hairline. Combining SmartLace® front technology with a single monofilament top, Maya delivers a realistic, polished look that works just as well for everyday wear as it does for special occasions. Please note: Maya is a discontinued style and will not be restocked once sold out — so if it speaks to you, now is the time.
Cap Construction
Maya by Jon Renau is built on an average-size cap featuring two premium construction elements that work together for comfort and realism:
- SmartLace® Front: Creates an undetectable, skin-like hairline that blends seamlessly at the forehead — no harsh edges, no obvious wig line.
- Single Monofilament Top: Each hair strand is individually hand-tied at the crown, mimicking the natural appearance of hair growing from the scalp and allowing for flexible parting.
The combination of these two technologies gives Maya a realistic hairline and a naturally moving crown — two of the most important factors in a believable, confidence-boosting wig. The average cap size fits the majority of wearers comfortably. Not sure if it will fit? Reference our Jon Renau Wig Size Chart before ordering.
Fiber & Styling
Maya is made from standard synthetic fiber, which means its gorgeous spiral curl pattern comes pre-set and ready to wear right out of the box. Because it is not heat-friendly, flat irons and curling wands are not compatible with this style. The good news? You don't need them — the curls are beautifully defined and will bounce back naturally after washing. Want to understand the full difference between synthetic and heat-friendly options?
