There is supposed to be a shampoo for kanekalon hair extensions, but I
have never used it. According to peter mayhew, rthe original trilogy
suits were washed by opening the suit up and sprinkling baby powder
inside to absorb sweat and add a nicer smell. I do the same with mine
plus I use febreeze.

There is some variation to the color but not much. The real suits
don't have much, either. There are some mix packs out there as well..
