Yes, synthetic hair is perfect for the very straight look (I love it for just this reason!) the shiny will fade after a while, just make sure you get a nice thermo fibre!
And razor cut the hair, blunt cutting with scissors will look bad.

Sorry if I wasn't clear with my original question. I wanted to know if synthetic hair will give the super shiny/very straight look that the girl in the picture has. I have human hair and while it IS straight and shiny, I want the look she has and was curious if synthetic hair could help recreate the look in the photo (or if I should just stay with human hair and maybe style it differently or use different products to duplicate her texture?).

Yes, I am going to the shiny doll hair look. That might sound crazy but it the look I want to achieve.

You can accomplish this look with human or synth hair. Are you saying that you want your extensions to be plasticy and super shiny like dolls hair?

I am very happy with my current human hair, but would having some synthetic pieces added (or maybe just at my next install) give me hair that looks like this picture? My hair is this length but I am looking for that fake shiny look. Or does it just look cheap? Be honest!
