LetitGo: Two Handmade 24-InchHair Extensions For some maintenance- cut off any fly aways. Before and after wear. Fly aways are normal. There's a simple braid on both of them that you can use to cover your pony tail if you would like to. If you need to wash them do so in a sink with some fabric softener- about 2 table spoons softener per bathroom sink size amount of water Wash gently by brushing out ends first- dipping for about 3-5 min - don't wring between the hands or scrunch- and then use a towel to blot dry - brush out the ends once dry. If you wear sequins or beads - the hair will catch on these just like any hair would. I have worn my extensions with a full seguence jacket and I had a lot of flyaways, but I just trimmed those and it was good to go.
