Our Blow Wow Drawstring Ponytail comes in: 1B Natural Black, 4 Dark Brown


Can the hair be straightened/curled?

Absolutely! For best results our synthetic extensions are heat resistant up to 150°C/300°F when curling, blow-drying and lightly straightening.

‼️To prevent unnecessary heat damage with any heat styling though, we would always recommend applying a heat protectant spray prior. This will ensure to keep your extensions in better condition for longer!

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND: using heat higher than 150 degrees, or appyling heat once you've applied styling products like hairspray etc, as this could potentially damage your synthetic hair.


Can I dye my synthetic hair extensions?

To avoid any unnecessary damage, we do not recommend using chemical dyes on your synthetic extensions. Though some swear by the use of spray dyes/temporary dyes on their synthetics, please be aware that this is entirely at your own risk. The safest option in our opinion would be to purchase your synthetics in the colours you would prefer - and if there are any other colours you'd like to see us come out with next then please do let us know!


Can I sleep or swim in my synthetic hair extensions?

We actually recommend removing your ponytail before bed and re-installing when you are ready to wear it again. This is to prevent unnecessary snagging and tangling of the fibres whilst you sleep, and to keep your extension looking their best for longerWe do not recommend swimming with your synthetics in at all.


What is the best way to brush out my synthetic hair?

The most effective method we’ve found is to lay your extensions down on a clean table and beginning with small sections, start to brush at the very ends of the hair, slowly working your way up to the root. Doing this in between uses also helps to keep tangling or matting to a minimum.


How long do your synthetic hair extensions last?

With proper care, your synthetic ponytail can last up to 3 months of regular use. Make sure to store your extensions in its original packaging, or your preferred storage bag of choice when not in use to keep it in good condition for as long as possible.


What exactly is Collagen Protein fibre and why choose it over vegan plastic options?

We knew we didn't want to rely on a nylon/polyester-based material for our synthetics range and one of the things that makes Collagen Protein the highest quality synthetic material available is in part down to the natural collagen itself, which is much safer that any nylon/polyester synthetic alternatives on the market. The high quality collagen protein hair fibres in our synthetics range blend seamlessly with your own hair to give you instant, natural-looking volume and length.
