Top 5 Things to Look for in a Hair Extension Brand 

Quality and Ethical Sourcing: The first and foremost aspect to consider is the quality of the hair. Opt for brands that source premium, real Remy human hair for a natural and seamless blend. Do your research to ensure that the hair is sourced ethically and responsibly.   

Diverse Range of Options: A reliable brand should offer a variety of extension methods, ensuring you find the perfect match for your style. Look for versatility in lengths, textures, and colors to suit your unique preferences. 

Durability and Longevity: The lifespan of your extensions matters. Choose a brand known for durability, ensuring your investment pays off over time. High-quality extensions should not have issues with shedding, unraveling, or breakage when the hair is cared for.   

Transparent and Trustworthy: The hair extension brand should be transparent about their sourcing, manufacturing processes, and customer reviews. Trustworthy brands are confident about the quality they deliver. 

Customer Support: Look for a hair extension brand that values its customers. Good customer support is crucial, especially if you have questions about installation, maintenance, or any concerns about your extensions.

What Sets Donna Bella Hair Apart from Other Extension Brands

We care about more than just the hair 

For us, it's not just about hair, it's about a more confident you.  

Obviously we love long, full, beautiful hair and being able to express yourself with your hair—but we care even more about bringing you products that enable you to be the most confident version of yourself. We want you to have hair that lets you be you. We aim to always provide products that make a difference in your life by helping you become an even stronger, more authentic version of yourself. Our biggest passion is empowering stylists and beauty enthusiasts alike and creating a supportive community

Hair quality, ethical sourcing and manufacturing standards 

Our ethical sourcing and manufacturing standards are high, so that you can feel good inside and out when you shop with us. Not every hair extension brand holds themselves to a standard this high, and that's important to be aware of. We are committed to ensuring our products are sourced responsibly and produced ethically and we take quality control seriously. That’s been at the heart of our mission since we started in 2003.

You can tell immediately that the quality is high when you pick up our extensions and run your fingers through the hair. The texture, durability, color, and consistency of our extensions is much higher than brands without these sourcing standards. Our hands-on team monitors and ensures manufacturing needs are met and the product we ship out is the best it can be.  

hair stories

Telling real-life hair stories and providing transformative results 

At Donna Bella Hair, we believe in solving a wide variety of hair concerns using hair extensions. We love seeing real transformations; they don’t all have to be mermaid length hair or a glam style makeover. We have hundreds of testimonials of extensions wearers who wanted to solve a hair concern or problem by getting extensions. This can make a huge impact on someone’s personal life and confidence levels, and we love that! We love telling real hair stories that involve addressing situations like hair loss, thinning hair, postpartum hair loss, alopecia, and bald spots. We also love supporting people who want to change their hair for a special occasion, try chemical-free color or highlights, or express themselves with a quick, temporary change to their style.

Product variety so you can express yourself through your hair 

One big part of the Donna Bella Hair difference is that we offer a variety of methods, lengths, colors, and textures. We value providing you with a ton of variety so you can show off your personality through your hair. Your hair is an expression of you! We love that our product lineup includes more than 40 shades of dimensional color so you can choose from solids, blends, ombre, balayage, rooted, and more. Customize your style how you want to, and say goodbye to flat, one-dimensional hair extensions. 

Here at DBH, we offer extensions that you can apply yourself from home (Clip-Ins and Halos) as well as pro methods that are applied by a certified stylist in the salon (Tape-In, Hybrid Weft, Kera-Link, I-Link and Flat-Tip). One size doesn't fit all, and we get that.

Donna Bella Hair is all about customization, ensuring you achieve the volume and style you desire. Donna Bella Hair stands out by offering 7 methods, many lengths, and 40+ colors, providing endless possibilities for your hair transformation journey. We want you to be able to customize and personalize your hair journey based on your unique situation, hair type, desired look, and lifestyle considerations  

In a world full of choices, Donna Bella Hair stands out because of our quality and the variety of products we offer. We are committed to offering high-quality hair extensions and products that are accessible, innovative and catered to diverse needs and lifestyles. We are here to foster a culture of confidence, self-expression and empowerment.
