Care Instructions for Your Ponytail

We want your ponytail to look flawless every time you wear it! Follow these easy tips to keep your synthetic hairpiece looking fresh and beautiful.

1. Washing & Cleaning

  • Wash only when needed — around every 5–10 wears or when product build-up is visible.
  • Use a sulphate-free shampoo, preferably the same gentle one you’d use on your natural hair.
  • Gently rinse the ponytail with water, running from top to ends.
  • Apply a light sulphate-free conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends for extra softness.
  • You can also apply a small amount of light serum or leave-in spray once it’s dry to help prevent tangling and keep the fibres smooth.
  • Smooth product through in a downward motion — no scrubbing or twisting.
  • Rinse well and let it air dry naturally. Avoid brushing while wet.

2. Detangling & Styling

  • Always detangle before and after each wear using a wide-tooth comb.
  • Start at the ends and gently work your way up.
  • Do not sleep with your ponytail on, and avoid swimming or high-wind situations while wearing it.

3. Heat Styling

  • Our ponytails are heat-resistant up to 180°C.
  • Use low to medium heat only, and always test a small section first.
  • Never use a hair dryer after washing — synthetic fibres don’t tolerate direct drying heat. Always let your ponytail air dry naturally.
  • Avoid applying too much heat to tinsel strands (like in our Sparkle Braid or shimmer styles) — heat can melt or damage these delicate accents.

4. Storage

  • After detangling, store your ponytail in its New Style by Maye packaging box or satin bag to protect the fibres.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture for long-lasting shine and smoothness.

5. Important Notes

  • Do not dye or bleach synthetic ponytails.
  • Minimal shedding is normal, especially during the first few wears.
  • With good care, your ponytail will stay smooth and wearable for several months.
