We’ve had a lot of questions recently about how to wash synthetic hair – from synthetic clip in hair extensions, to wigs and hairpieces and ponytails. We’ve put together this tutorial to show you exactly how to wash them correctly.

A few top tips to keep in mind:

• Always use cool water, never hot! Hot water can soften synthetic fibers and cause any wavy extensions to become straight.
• Do not comb the hair when wet – it will affect and damage the fiber.
• Place on a stand to dry naturally, do not use heat
