Don't use synthetic hair seems to be the takeaway.

Back in the 90s synthetic hair was so prevalent that it seemed to be everywhere, but today, there's a lot less of it around and due to it being replaced by real hair as far as extensions go.

I think synthetic hair still is quite big in wigs though and I can only assume it will evolve in the same way and be largely replaced by real hair as they get cheaper.
