Why Cheer Hair Care Matters
Between long practices, competition weekends, and endless ponytail flips, your cheer hair works just as hard as you do! Whether you’re an athlete or a cheer parent, proper care makes all the difference in keeping your posh looking flawless from the first showcase to the last performance.
Your Perfect Posh ponytail was designed to be durable, beautiful, and easy to wear—but like any high-quality hairpiece, it deserves a little TLC to stay in top shape all season long.
🧴 Step 1: How to Wash Your Cheer Hairpiece
Keeping your Posh clean is key to preserving its shine and softness. Follow these steps to wash your cheer pony safely:
1️⃣ Brush before washing. Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush, starting from the ends and working your way up.
2️⃣ Use lukewarm water—never hot! Heat can damage hair fibers.
3️⃣ Apply a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Massage lightly from top to bottom (avoid scrubbing or twisting).
4️⃣ Rinse thoroughly until all the bubbles are gone.
5️⃣ Condition generously. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before rinsing.
6️⃣ Pat dry with a towel—don’t rub. Lay flat on a clean towel, hang to air dry, or blowdry completely.
🪮 Step 2: Detangle With Care
Tangles happen—especially after long days of stunting and tumbling! To avoid damage:
- Never brush wet hair (it’s more fragile). Wait until it’s 80% dry.
- Start from the bottom and gently work upward.
- Use detangling spray or a leave-in conditioner if needed.
- Avoid rough handling or pulling at knots.
✨ Perfect Posh Tip: Store your Posh pony in one of our Protective Travel Cases to prevent tangling between uses. It’s a game-changer for competition weekends and travel days.
☀️ Step 3: What to Avoid — The Cheer Hair “Don’ts”
🚫 Don’t overload with hairspray or gel. Use just enough to smooth flyaways, not to coat the hair.
🚫 Don’t use high heat daily. If you style with a curling iron, use a heat protectant spray and keep the temperature below 350°F.
🚫 Don’t store your pony wet. Moisture can cause frizz and odor.
🚫 Don’t sleep in your Posh pony. Always remove and store it safely after performing or practicing.
Your cheer hair is more than just part of your uniform—it’s part of your confidence. With just a few simple steps, you can keep your Perfect Posh looking sleek, healthy, and ready for every flip, stunt, and bow-to-toe moment.
