Is Fallout Normal? Understanding Shedding in Custom Cheer Posh Ponytails

When you invest in a custom-made cheer hairpiece, you’re choosing a handcrafted product designed for performance, durability, and confidence on the floor. One of the questions we receive is:

“Is it normal to see some fallout?”
The answer is yes—and here’s why.

Why Shedding Happens in Custom Human Hairpieces

Every Perfect Posh ponytail is made using real human hair and sewn by hand. Because of this artisanal process, a small amount of loose hair can remain in the piece after production. When your ponytail arrives, and you brush it, run your fingers through it, or style it for the first time, those loose hairs naturally fall away.

This shedding is completely normal and does not affect the integrity, volume, or longevity of your ponytail. Think of it the same way you would a new sweater or a fresh haircut—anything handcrafted or heavily handled during creation can release a few fibers early on.

Quality Over Everything

Each ponytail goes through:

• Multiple quality checks to ensure consistent thickness and shape
• Tension testing to verify strength at the seams
• Final brushing and heat styling, which can naturally release any last stray hairs

Because we use real human hair, slight shedding is a natural part of the product—just as your own hair sheds daily. This does not indicate a defect or poor workmanship. In fact, it’s a hallmark of authentic, high-quality human hairpieces.

How to Reduce Shedding Over Time

To keep your ponytail looking its best:

• Handle gently when brushing and teasing
• Always support the weft area with your hand
• Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
• Avoid pulling or tugging at the base
• Store your Perfect Posh in the tote or Perfect Posh Travel Case.

These simple steps help extend the life of any human hairpiece.

Final Thoughts

A bit of fallout at the start is normal—and expected. Each Perfect Posh ponytail is custom-crafted, and just like any handmade, human-hair product. Rest assured: your ponytail is built to last, withstand performances, and stay beautiful through every routine.
