Foreign welcome back to my channel. My name is Amber. This is fabricating Fringe. So today I'm sharing with you guys this absolutely gorgeous style. This may look familiar, and that is because it's been out, but not with this cap design um. This is actually a genre to wig and this is Rachel, but it's an upgraded Rachel. This is Rachel light um. As you guys know, Jon renau has been expanding their light collection and adding various wigs in this cap design and they are launching three wigs um October 3rd 2022 um. Adding to that light collection. One of them is Rachel. I love Rachel, so I was very excited to hear about that. Another one is Sienna, which is a human hair, wig and lastly, there's Julianne light petite, so um it's a petite version of Julianne. In the light Cap Construction. I wanted to try julienne, but I don't fit the petite size, but I absolutely love Rachel. I'Ve always really loved Rachel. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to share Rachel with you guys and talk about the features of the light collection, the light cap and kind of like the differences um that you get with the light cap. So, first off, let's talk about Rachel. This Rachel light is in the color shaded praline, also known as 12 fs8. This is a very popular color and I can see why, because it's actually one of my favorite colors as well um. A lot of you guys know what 12 fs8 is. You have a shaded medium brown root, so you have a medium brown root. That is the number eight S8 and then what you have is a light. Gold brown light natural gold blonde, and then you have a pale natural gold blonde blend. So you have a blend of those three colors, which is the light natural gold blonde, the light gold Brown and the pale natural gold blonde um. It creates a beautiful color um, the rooting looks fabulous and it's just just a lovely shade. It makes sense that it's popular it's one of the most popular blondes, that, along with 12 sf12, which is part of the California blonde collection and the only difference between 12 fs8 and 12 fs12 is the root color one is number 12.. It'S a little bit lighter and then this one of course is number eight. The root is slightly darker anyway, both gorgeous um and very similar, yet they do have their differences um. So, let's move on to Rachel Rachel is a very popular style. In the John Renault line, um, it's it's been a popular style, it's just a lovely mid-length long. I would. This is considered a long wig, but it's not as long as others and um. And then you have this very loose wave, just very soft light gorgeous loose wave with Rachel. You have this really cute, Bang that you can side sweep um, of course, with both Rachel's. You have a lace front. You have the smart lace front, so you can pull it away from the face. You can, you know, do off the face, styling, which is very nice, very versatile, along with that uh with the other Rachel. You know what in fact, I'm gon na go grab um. The original Rachel - let's, let's go, look at the original Rachel just hold on a minute. Okay, so I went and grabbed the original Rachel smart lace Rachel. Well, this has been in a box. She needs to be washed um. I haven't brushed her so anyway, with the original Rachel. You have your smart lace front and monofilament top, and then this is also hand tied. So what's the difference between this original Rachel cap and the Rachel light? Well, let's, let's take her off in a minute and we will look at those differences um. What is so fantastic about the light cap? We'Ll talk about all that before I move on, though, let's talk about the lengths of this here, Rachel, the bang on Rachel is seven inches, your crown is 15 inches. The nape on Rachel is 10 inches, your sides are 14 inches and the weight on this Rachel is 4.2 ounces. This cap size is average. It fits really well all of um. The average wigs by Jon renau fit me really well they're comfortable they're, snug um, yet cozy, you know so they either tight, they're secure but they're comfortable. That'S what you want! That'S how they fit on me the average this um. So I would say that you know this is comfortable as well. There are some features on this light that are quite Nifty, so we'll talk about that. Okay, I'm gon na do a full turnaround of Rachel, so you can see that from all angles and then we will take this wig off so so pretty. Okay, let's take Rachel off and compare caps. Let'S talk about the light collection, don't mind my crazy hair. Okay. So on this John Renault Rachel light, you have that gorgeous welded lace front. This is smart lace and this is from like ear tap to ear tap. So you have that smart lace all the way around to the ear tabs. I mean it is all the way down, so you have a lot of Versatility. You can't pull the hair away from the face. You can pull it up in a ponytail, and it's going to look like your hair. Is all yours because it's going to it's not just up here so with this original um Rachel, you do have the gorgeous smart lace front, but it ends right here, as you can see, see that and with this smart lace light you have that lace front. That travels to where these ear Tabs are now these ear Tabs are polyurethane. So these are fantastic um if you want to use adhesive and have it fit nice and secure on your head, this is great for people with total hair loss. They don't have any hair right here or you just want a very nice secure fit and you can use adhesives right on that polyurethane and, like I said you have that hand tied area right around that polyurethane ear tap, I mean it goes from ear to ear. This is all individually hand tied. It looks like natural hair growth and then, of course, you do have that monofilament top behind that smart lace. This wig is also fully hand tied. So this whole cap has been hand tied having a hand-tied cap is really nice because um the hair flows uh very naturally. So. Do I like wefted wigs, of course I like wefted wigs, but with a fully hand-tied cap, it's very luxurious and um. It just gives more of a natural appearance, because you have every hair individually coming out of this wig cap um the way that it blows in the wind the way it moves up into an updo. It'S going to do it more naturally, with an individually hand-tied, full cap. The nice thing about these ready to wear stretch, cap, wigs that are fully hand. Tied is um. You have this stretch, lace section it just makes it so nice and secure and snug very comfortable, and you don't have to use adhesive with this wig because of this construction, very stretchy and secure. Now. What you have on the nape is what they call a silicone nape. This has a bendable wire as well at the nape, and this silicone is really great because you have like a non-slip grip. It just kind of clings on to the skin around your nape, and it helps make the wig more secure. Of course, above that silicone, you do have a section of like velvety material and that's where you have your adjusters at the nape, where you can loosen and tighten the wig and just adjust it to your head. So I would say that this amazing ear to ear lace front. You have your polyurethane ear tabs and you have the the silicone strip. This is what sets apart your your light, wig versus your original and then also you have just a lighter density, creating a more realistic, um natural appearance. So also, like I mentioned in this launch, you have Sienna light and you have Julianne light petite now, Sienna um originally had your lace front, monofilament top and a wefted back now. The new cap for Sienna is just like this one. You have that extended ear to ear lace, front. You have the polyurethane ear tabs. You have this non-slip grip, nape and fully hand tied. I love Sienna. I have two siennas um and it's one of my favorite wigs. Of course, the two that I have are It's A wefted Wig and I loved that wig. So it would be amazing to have the chance to try Sienna with a light cap um, it's a it's a really really pretty wig, and then, of course I do. I do actually have um a julienne light that I don't get to keep um because it doesn't fit me um. So I'll just show you guys, since I have it here. This is Julianne light petite that also launches with this extension of the light caps um. So yeah this is the gorgeous julienne wig, look at those curls, so adorable. I would say that Julianne has um a tighter curl pattern and then Rachel yeah. I think Rachel is a little bit more relaxed. Um Julianne is shorter uh, but you do have that same Cap, Construction and um, but this one is petite. This one did not fit my head um. I I just cannot fit into petite wigs, even even when it's fully hand tied um the ear to ear circumference. Doesn'T doesn't fit my head right so anyway, isn't this a cute wig? Oh, my goodness, it is adorable. I would love to have Julianne light in an average, but they are launching it in petite, oh, and also to give you guys a comparison just because I have them right here. This julienne light petite is 12 fs12, and this one, like I mentioned, is 12 fs8. So I mentioned before that the only difference between the two are the the rooting, and you can see that clearly right here. That 12fs 8 is slightly darker in The Roots um in comparison to um 12 SF. 12. Fs12. It'S like a tongue twister um anyway, so both the same um colors within the you know, the mixture um the blend, but then a different root Within These Shades. 12 FS. 8. 12. Fs12. This is Julianne light petite, and this one here is Rachel light and, of course, this one right here that needs a combing. So cute, though this is Rachel as well - and this is the original Rachel and this lovely color is Frost, um yeah. I love this color. It'S like that very subtle, pink! Isn'T it cute? Oh, I love it anyway, all over the place with this here Rachel review, but I think sometimes it's great to have some comparisons, whether it be color Cap Construction. Just so you can get an idea. What really you'd, like your needs, your preferences, um, that all can can help and then, of course, the the prices are different because of the base construction and what each wig offers. So I just want to remind you guys with these synthetic wigs you want to use products that are meant for your synthetic fiber. It is going to make your synthetic fibers last longer. Also, you want to wash your synthetic fiber, your synthetic wigs, every six to eight wears some people don't wash their wig enough and that doesn't prolong the life of your wig. You do want to get the grime and the junk off your cap and off your wig, because if you have build up on the base construction, the cap that can break down the materials of your cap over time. So so you do want to wash your wig every six to eight wears is what they recommend and then also use products such as the Jon renau line to wash your synthetic fibers. I do have a video on how to wash and care for your your synthetic, wigs, um, and that is in one of the playlists on you know, care and things like that. So check that out, if you're wondering um also another thing to think about is um, for instance, your human hair, wigs such as Sienna light, if you were to put it on a blockhead and style that wig you do want to make sure you use your t-pins Um not on your delicate base materials. You do not want to rip your lace, fronts, your monofilaments or any hand tied areas. So another tip, is you want to put those t-pins on your block head in a section such as uh like where this um softer uh velvet material is where you can see that um on this, this construction? On this light, wig there aren't a lot of areas for you to put those t-pins so be very mindful of where you place those P10 - those t-pins um down here at the nape on on this material right here. That'S where you'd want to pin it um, but yeah you'd want to do it right on those areas where you have more of that velvety section and not in an area where you have hand-tied hairs or delicate base materials because um those holes that you press into The cap can over time rip and tear, and you want to be mindful of that. Anyway, let's put Rachel back on I'm trying to think. If there's anything else that I wanted to point out for these synthetic wigs um, I do have quite a few videos on care um on how to pin your wig on um adhesives um. If you guys are interested in more educational content such as the various adhesives I like to use by Walker tape, let me know, but yeah there's so much information. If you're new to wigs it can feel um a little bit like a jungle out there. So please, let me know if you want additional information on how to care how to wear adhesives products. Let me know and I'll see what I can do. Let me know what you guys think about Rachel light. I absolutely love this style. It is so cute. I I just yeah it's on my top list of wigs that I love right now. Um you'll have to check out this. The new Sienna um, the new Sienna light and the um julienne light petite. They are all launching October 3rd 2022.. Okay, you guys thank you. So much for watching, let me know what you think about this color about this style. If you've tried the Rachel original, if you want to try the the Rachel light, let me know comment below you. Guys can find John Renault wigs at many brick and mortar and online locations I'll have a store, locator down below and anyway, give me a thumbs up. If this is helpful and until next time I'll see you guys later bye,

JEANNIE'S HAPPY LIL LIFE & VARIETY CHANNEL :0D: You are the superstar of wig reviewer‘s! Seriously when you go out in public do mobs of people ask you for your autograph or some thing because you look so glamorous like a movie star your make up and nails and clothing are always on point and every hair unit you show looks perfect on you. I am surprised that some major wig company has not hired you as their exclusive spokes person. I think what comes across when you do your reviews is that you emit a certain humility along with your confidence. You are not stuck up by any means. Keep up the good work!

allykatt1849: Girl you're on a roll! Loving this one on you too! I think I need Rachel in my life! Such pretty waves! Loving your eye makeup, Amber! You look great!

Denise Woodin: Thanks Amber, really appreciate the great information you provide... and you look amazing in what ever hair piece you have on

Liz Lyons: I love Rachel and have her in the regular weight (4.5 oz). I find I can put her in a ponytail very credibly even with the smaller lace perimeter. I bought a Zara Lite with all these features and it did not work for me. The extended lace front and silicone at the ears was visible no matter what I did. I think the issue is the amount of hair I have. I have hair (shoulder length, fine and not thick) and that must be the reason the lace on the Lite collection doesn't cover my hair around my face or the fact that I am petite-average (20.75" circumference). I have two Siennas and do not know if the same problem would occur if I buy any of these newer releases. I wish I could! Rachel Lite being 4.2 ounces is an advantage. I may try it. Thank you Amber. I love 12FS8 on you.

Wendy Campbell: Another fabulous review, I've been waiting to see this piece since I heard it was being launched, thanks

T2the_heyy: That's quite the detailed review, lol, thank you. I'd love to try out Rachel Lite whenever I happen to have a spare $750(Au) floating around. x Edited due to me not having my glasses on last night.

ironglaciers: Having switched to human hair wigs I can't go back to synthetic, I hate how they feel and how short-lived they are.... but this is very pretty.

LD: I like the lite collection - may need to splurge soon

J & S: Thank u for the comparison. I wish JR wld do a double monofilament on rachel, especially with the price point

Karen Fiddy: What a great review ❤️ thank you

WIGAMANIA: Thanks for the review you lokk gorgeous in Rachel. I am not a fan of the lite collection though. The only thing that I like about it is that the density is lower. Wish they have changed just that and kept same or lower price. €550 for a wig that lasts three months is outrageous for a normal person. Thanks anyway and keep up the good work

CJ H: I would love a video on how to repair a lace front. The fray is too close to the hairline for cutting with scissors.

Doreen Garnhart: Amber, which Walker tape or adhesive would use use on the silicone ear tabs.... they are so slippery!! I have julianne lite and love it!!

Denise Kramer: I wish they would do Jon Renau Adrianna in this cap

where to next?: It is beautiful but i don't understand what an ear tab is and have to look that up but this is so pretty it is the first non topper ill be trying. Just never wore a wig wig before. You as usual look gorgeous in and out of it.

LD: Nice review, you’re looking great !
