Is it human hair?
Hotheads regular extensions are 100% Remy human hair, meaning the cuticle is intact and the hair is placed with the cuticles all facing the same direction. Benefits to this are no matting, tangling or short hair returns. Hothead's fantasy colour is a blend of temperature safe synthetic and human hair.

Can I swim, exercise or go in the sauna?

Please make sure to wash your hair after working out and brushing before and after exercise.
