Jon Renau's JR is the budget pick for men who want a full wig rather than a bonded system. It is a short, layered synthetic style from the brand's Mens collection, with a 3 inch bang, 3.25 inch crown, 2.5 inch sides and 1.75 inch nape, and it weighs 2.3 oz. The cap is a traditional design in a large size. That keeps the price down, at $133.70 during the Wigs.com extra 30% off sale, but a traditional cap has no lace front or monofilament top, so the hairline and crown look less natural up close than the lace front wigs and hair systems on this list. Wigs.com lists 35 colors, which helps if you need to match gray or salt and pepper hair. Jon Renau sells through salons and retailers rather than direct. JR makes sense as a low-cost first wig, for medical hair loss, or as a backup.
