Erin is a short bob that sits near the jaw, with the nape and sides cut to bevel underneath so the shape keeps its fullness through the day instead of dropping flat by the afternoon. It comes with a fringe already cut in.

That fringe is worth pausing on. If your own hairline has thinned or gone, a style with the fringe built in covers the front of the cap completely, so there is no hairline to get right in the mirror every morning. For a lot of people that takes away the most anxious part of putting a wig on.

The cap is a double monofilament. Two layers of fine mesh run across the top with the hair knotted in by hand, so the parting sits wherever you put it and the mesh reads as scalp rather than as a hard seam. The second layer softens the surface that rests against your skin, which matters on a tender or bare scalp.

Please note: Erin does not have a lace front. The front of the cap is finished with polyurethane tape tabs. They hold well and give you somewhere to put tape or a grip, but they are not an exposed lace hairline. With the fringe sitting over the front this matters less on Erin than it would on a style swept back off the face, though it is still worth knowing before you buy.

Adjustable tabs at the nape let you bring the fit in or let it out. At 3.1 oz Erin is genuinely light, which is one of the real advantages of going short, and it tends to be an easier wig to get used to for that reason. Rene of Paris does not list Erin among its heat friendly styles, so treat it as a standard synthetic and keep dryers and irons away from it.
