Washing a ponytail extension isn't too different to washing your own hair.
- Use a hair-extension-friendly brush to go through your ponytail extension and work out any knots and tangles.
- Fill your sink with warm water and wet the extension piece thoroughly.
- Use a mild shampoo and work this through the ponytail, as you would with your own hair.
- Rinse the shampoo out completely.
Generally speaking, synthetic extensions, including synthetic ponytails, should last you several months - if worn around once per week with proper care.
Human hair ponytail extensions, on the other hand, could last you around 12 months - based on wearing it around once per week.
All synthetic ponytails are made from a man-made fibre and should not be treated the same as your hair, they are factory-made hair imitation which has different limitations to natural hair. Some synthetic ponytails are not made with heat-friendly synthetic fibres and styling could damage them if they come in contact with any heat at all.
Cheap fake hair ponytails will not be heat resistant and you could even melt the fibres if they come into contact with heat, other more modern ponytails are heat resistant up to around 180 degrees, these ponytails can be styled with heat but you'll need to follow some guidelines and manage your expectations of what can be achieved when using heat to style a ponytail.
Yes!
Ponytail extensions are a great way to add length and volume, even if you struggle with having particularly thin hair! Temporary ponytails and buns are actually safer to use for thin hair than other temporary extensions, as they are often lighter in weight and have a larger surface area to attach onto - preventing tension damage.
