HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BE THE NEXT TO SHARE YOUR HAIR

• Hair may be colored with vegetable dyes, rinses and semi-permanent dyes.

• Hair may not be more than 5% gray. Here’s why: – It takes at least six ponytails to make a SYH prosthetic;
in general, each ponytail comes from a different person and is a different color. Even though some hair colors may look similar, including gray hair, each is completely unique. – Gray hair, as well as some chemically-treated or
permanently-colored hair, does not absorb dye at the same rate as other types of hair. It is much harder to color and, once colored, fades more quickly.
