Hair Extension Maintenance FAQs

General Care

Q: How often should I wash my hair extensions?
A: We recommend washing your Gabriella Company hair extensions every 7-10 days or after 3-4 wears. For our curly textures, co-wash more frequently to maintain the curl pattern. Always use sulfate-free, extension-friendly shampoos and conditioners for best results.

Washing and Conditioning

Q: How should I condition my extensions?
A: Apply a generous amount of conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle while the conditioner is in. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle.

Styling and Heat Protection

Q: Can I use heat styling tools on my extensions?
A: Yes, you can use heat styling tools on our human hair extensions. To maintain quality, use a heat protectant spray, keep heat settings below 380°F (193°C), and limit use to 2-3 times a week.

Texture-Specific Care

Straight Hair:

• Use a paddle brush for detangling and styling.
• Apply a light serum for shine and smoothness.

Body Wave:

• Use a wide-tooth comb to maintain waves.
• Scrunch with a curl mousse to enhance texture.

Curly and Kinky Curly:

• Detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
• Use a leave-in conditioner and curl-defining cream.
• Refresh curls with a water-based spray and scrunch gently.

Product-Specific Maintenance

Raw Bundles:

• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Longevity and Storage

Q: How do I store my extensions when not in use?
A: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original packaging or a breathable bag. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture to prevent damage.

Common Issues

Q: My extensions are tangling, what should I do?
A: Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working up. Use a leave-in conditioner to smooth and hydrate the hair.

Q: How can I reduce shedding?
