Protect Your Cheer Hair: The Right Way to Use Heat on Your Perfect Posh Pony

Keep That Posh Perfect

Heat styling is the secret to those picture-perfect curls and sleek competition ponytails—but too much heat can shorten the life of your cheer extensions. To keep your Perfect Posh looking soft, shiny, and ready for every routine, follow this golden rule:

Always Use a Heat Protectant

Before you pick up your curling iron or flat iron, spritz a light heat protectant spray evenly throughout your pony. It creates a protective barrier between your hairpiece and the heat, locking in moisture and preventing dryness or split ends.

Perfect Posh Tip: Use a lightweight, silicone-free spray so your Posh stays bouncy—not heavy or sticky.

Keep It Under 355°F

More heat doesn’t mean better curls! Keeping your iron below 355°F helps your cheer pony maintain its silky texture and shine.

  • For loose waves, aim for 300–320°F.
  • For tighter curls, go up to 350°F max.

If you hear a sizzle, it’s too hot!

Style Smart, Shine Longer

With proper heat care, your Perfect Posh pony will last all season—and still look brand new for showcase, competitions, and every bow-to-toe moment in between.
