Community-driven – new textures and shades designed directly from customer feedback.

Planet-friendly– biodegradable fibres that break down naturally, unlike traditional synthetics.

Synths2 is made from advanced collagen protein fibre, primarily sourced from bovine (beef) collagen. This collagen comes from type 1 and type 3 proteins found in cow hides - the same proteins often used to support joint and gut health! After cattle are processed for meat, the hides are carefully treated to extract the collagen protein.

The collagen is then hydrolysed, breaking it down into smaller amino acids that make the fibre stronger, more flexible and easier to style. Unlike many synthetic options made from plastic, collagen proteins are naturally more heat-resistant, making them ideal for safe styling up to 180°C. Finally, the fibres are dyed and set on rods to achieve the desired colours and textures, ensuring consistency across every pack of hair.

We find that most people use 3–4 packs. For fuller looks, you may need 5+ packs depending on the style, thickness and length you want. Each pack is 140g, with the exception of the Afro Kinky texture which is 80g, as less is needed per style.

Absolutely! Synths2 can be heat-styled up to 180°C, making it perfect for curling, straightening or refreshing your look.

Yes. Synths2 is hypoallergenic and free from common irritants. This reduces the risk of reactions and makes it suitable for sensitive scalps. However, if you know you are sensitised to bovine collagen and/or acrylates, we recommend choosing human hair extensions instead.

Yes, Synths2 is available in multiple textures (Afro Kinky, Bone Straight, Textured Straight) and shades that can be mixed for a custom look.

We know these styles are community favourites, and we’re developing fibres that can deliver them at the quality you deserve. Because they require advanced technology to perfect, they’re not available just yet — but we’re working on it and can’t wait to share them in the future.

When you are ready to remove your extensions, dispose of them in general waste where they will naturally biodegrade. This makes Synths2 a safer, more sustainable alternative to traditional synthetic hair.
