We turned 20!

This year, Donna Bella Hair celebrated our 20-year anniversary as a brand. We are proud to be a leader in the beauty space and amazed at how far our product innovation has come over the last two decades. We’re proud to say we are helping people everywhere understand how accessible extensions are and what long-lasting results and solutions they can provide.

gray hair extensions

We introduced our new Gray Collection

We launched the first-ever professional gray hair extensions! A must-have for silver-haired beauties and anyone who wants to embrace their grays. These Tape-Ins and Hybrid Wefts help you show off your natural color and still have a ton of volume and fullness. Choose the salt and pepper mix that fits with your hair and get ready to say goodbye to the dye and simplify your hair routine. 

What methods are available in gray: Tape-In and Hybrid Weft

What shades are available: 

Light Gray #90: Mostly salt with a dash of pepper

Medium Gray #50: The perfect mix of salt and pepper strands

Dark Gray #20: Mostly pepper with a sparkle of salt

What lengths are available: 16”, 18” & 22”

Wondering which method is a better fit for your hair?

Go with Tape-Ins if you want: fast, full coverage and volume, an installation that lasts only 1-2 hours, and move-ups every 4-8 weeks. 

Choose Hybrid Wefts if you want: durability and seamless blending, an installation that lasts 1-3 hours, and move-ups every 6-10 weeks.

4 Reasons to Go Gray Gracefully 

1. There’s freedom in no longer coloring your hair. We say, lose the roots and embrace a new bold, memorable look!

2. Healthy hair is beautiful. With some purple shampoo and deep conditioning in your routine, you can add smoothness and softness and keep your color vibrant.

3. Natural can be fabulous, too. There’s nothing more gorgeous than self-confidence and owning your signature style.

4. Gray extensions give you all the length and volume you want! Plus, with 2 methods and 3 shades to choose from, you can find the perfect match.

Donna Bella Hair hybrid weft hair extensions

We released new and improved Hybrid Wefts

Your feedback matters to us! Our team here at Donna Bella Hair listened to feedback all year and we knew you wanted more lengths in Hybrid Weft and more comfortable options, so we made some upgrades. Our new wefts feature 2 new lengths plus a better design that’s lightweight, sleek and luxurious.

What’s new about these Hybrid Wefts from Donna Bella Hair?

  • The seam at the top has an enhanced design so it’s more comfortable. There’s no bulky strip of hair there any more (what’s sometimes called “return hair” or a “mustache”). This means there are no little awkward protruding hairs at the top of the weft any more, making the seam more comfortable and streamlined. 

  • What’s great about this? You get cleaner and healthier installs with no matting and no discomfort.

  • Stylists will love that each pack comes with 3 sectioned bundles of hair, making it even easier to customize the install based on your unique hair.

  • These wefts also feature anti-shedding technology for the strongest bonds and most secure wear.

  • The new 14” and 24” lengths are great for bobs, fill ins, layers and more.

Is the hair still Remy quality?

  • Yes, all our new wefts have virgin 100% Remy human hair which is the best quality you can find on the market. 

  • The hair cuticles are intact and they’ve been kept that way (with all strands running the same direction) from collection through production all the way to install. This means less tangling and matting for easier care.

  • It’s long- lasting, silky smooth hair that you can wash, curl and style just like your natural hair.

Order balayage extensions with even more confidence! Use the Balayage Swatch Ring to find your perfect color match. The swatch samples are made with 100% human hair so you can see, touch and feel the quality before placing your order. Easy to hold, store, and add to the existing DBH Color Ring. The swatch ring includes 5 hair swatches for our Hybrid Weft balayage blends: Balayage #1B/6, Balayage #2/6/10, Balayage #6-12/600, Balayage #12/80, Balayage #4/22/80. Like the gray swatch ring, the Balayage swatches are wider than our original color ring, giving you more hair in the sample so you can see the dimension and blend more easily. 

This tool makes color matching easy and fast and the swatches of high-quality human hair are designed to show the dimensional color of each blend. Note: Balayage shades are only available in the Hybrid Weft method at this time.  

keratin bond cutters

Keratin Bond Cutters

The Keratin Bond Cutter is a new, innovative Donna Bella tool specifically designed to help stylists cut the bonds of Keratin Hair Extensions during the pre-installation process. Cutting Keratin bonds can give smaller, more flexible pieces that are easier to install and result in a more natural, disguised look for the client. The Keratin Bond Cutter is a superior option over using shears to cut and shape bonds. Its sharp metal pinchers cleanly cut through any bond, without damaging the hair itself. The tool features an ergonomic, easy-to-grip handle and a double spring for more control and a smoother cut. It comes with a snap-button pouch.
