About Hair
Got tons of questions about hair? We’ve got all the answers right here.
Genaral Question
Are your hair extensions human hair?
Yes! All Goo Goo extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair—soft, tangle-free, and designed to blend naturally with your own hair. They can be curled, straightened, and even dyed (preferably by a professional).
Where are your hair extensions made? Are they ethical?
Our hair is ethically sourced from trusted partners in countries like India and Southeast Asia, and carefully processed in certified facilities. We ensure that every step—from sourcing to finishing—is done with respect, fairness, and quality in mind.
Can I heat my hair extensions?
Yes, you can! All Goo Goo Hair extensions are made with 100% Remy human hair, so they can be heat styled just like your natural hair.Here’s what you need to know:
- Use heat protectant: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using hot tools to help prevent damage.
- Keep the temperature low to medium: We recommend keeping styling tools under 350°F (180°C) to maintain the health and longevity of the hair.
- Limit heat exposure: Try not to use heat every day—just like with your own hair, too much heat can dry it out over time.
- Avoid heat near tape or bonds: If you’re wearing tape-ins or I Tip extensions, don’t apply heat directly to the adhesive or beads.
Treat your extensions with care, and they’ll keep looking gorgeous wear after wear!
Can I Dye/Color My Hair Extensions?
Yes, you can color your Goo Goo Hair extensions—but with a few important notes!Since all our extensions are made with 100% Remy human hair, they can be dyed just like your own. But to keep them looking their best, here’s what we recommend:✔️ What You Can Do:
- Go darker: You can safely dye them to a darker shade.
- Tone them: A purple shampoo or toner can help adjust brassiness or blend better with your natural color.
❌ What You Shouldn’t Do:
- Don’t bleach or lighten: Bleaching can damage the cuticle and shorten the lifespan of the extensions.
- Don’t DIY unless you're confident: It’s best to let a professional colorist handle it—especially if you’re matching specific tones.
💡 Pro Tips:
- Always test on a small section first.
- Use semi- or demi-permanent dye (not harsh box color).
- Deep condition afterward to restore moisture.
How long do the extensions last?
That depends on how often you wear them and how you care for them:
- Clip-ins and wire: 3–6 months
- Tape-ins: Each install lasts 6–8 weeks and can be reused several times
- Proper care = longer life
Can I wash the hair extensions?And How should I store them?
- Yes, but not often.Wash every 15–20 wears or when they start to feel product-heavy.
- Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
- Gently air dry—avoid high heat.
- Store in the original box or a storage hanger in a cool, dry place.
How Do I Care for My Extensions?
Proper care = longer-lasting, better-looking extensions! Here’s the quick guide:
- Wash sparingly – Every 15–20 wears, using sulfate-free, alcohol-free shampoo.
- Hydrate often – Use a deep conditioner or mask regularly.
- Brush gently – Use a wide-tooth comb or loop brush, starting from the ends.
- Dry completely – Never sleep with wet hair. Air dry when possible.
- Style smart – Use heat tools under 350°F with a heat protectant.

What Is The Difference Between Honey Blonde Balayage (4/26/4) And Caramel Blonde Balayage (4/27/4)?
Both are gorgeous brunette-to-blonde balayage blends, but here’s the key difference:
- Honey Blonde Balayage (4/26/4) features a brighter, lighter blonde (26), with more visible light highlights throughout. If you're looking for a more sun-kissed, high-contrast look, this one’s for you.
- Caramel Blonde Balayage (4/27/4) has softer, warmer honey-caramel tones (27) that blend more subtly with the base brown, offering a more natural, mellow finish.
What’s the difference between your clip-ins, tape-ins, and other styles?
- Clip-In Extensions: Great for beginners. Install and remove within minutes—no commitment.
- Tape-In Extensions: Lightweight, seamless, and perfect for longer-term wear (lasts 6–8 weeks per install).
- Wire Extensions: Quickest option—no glue, no clips. Just slide the invisible wire on and go.
- Wire Pro Extensions:Our upgraded version of the classic wire extension. It still uses the clear wire for easy wear, but includes two extra clip-ins on each side for added security and better blending—especially helpful if you have layers or finer hair.
- I Tip Extensions:A professional, strand-by-strand method installed using small beads—no glue or heat required. Great for adding natural movement and long-lasting volume.
- Ponytail Extensions: Easy glam for a fuller, longer pony in seconds.
- Toppers: Ideal for thinning hair or extra volume at the crown.
Can I wear my hair extensions while swimming?
We don’t recommend swimming with your extensions in—especially in pools or the ocean. Chlorine and saltwater can dry out and damage the hair, and the water can loosen the attachment, causing the extensions to slip or tangle.If you do decide to swim with them, make sure to:
- Tie your hair in a braid or ponytail to reduce tangling
- Avoid getting your hair fully soaked
- Rinse with clean water immediately after
- Deep condition to restore moisture
For best results and long-lasting wear, we recommend removing your extensions before swimming.
How To Blend Extensions
Blending hair extensions seamlessly with your natural hair involves choosing the right color match, placing the wefts strategically, and styling both your hair and the extensions together. Tools like curling irons or straighteners help create a uniform texture. Teasing your roots and layering the extensions can also improve the natural look. For detailed step-by-step blending tips, visit Goo Goo's guide.
How do I keep my hair extensions from tangling?
Tangling can happen—even with real human hair extensions—especially if they’re not cared for properly. But no worries! With a few simple habits, you can keep your Goo Goo extensions soft, smooth, and tangle-free.Here are our top tips:
- Brush gently & often
Use a wide-tooth comb or a special loop brush made for extensions. Always start brushing from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage. - Avoid sleeping with wet hair
Never go to bed with damp extensions. Make sure they’re completely dry, then loosely braid them or tie them in a low ponytail to prevent knots while you sleep. - Use the right products
Stick with sulfate-free, alcohol-free shampoos and conditioners. Lightweight leave-in conditioners and detangling sprays are your best friends—just don’t overdo it near the roots or bonds. - Keep them moisturized
Hair extensions don’t get natural oils like your scalp hair does, so give them a little extra love. Use a hydrating hair mask once a week to keep them soft and silky. - Be mindful of friction
Friction from scarves, coats, or constant rubbing on your back can cause tangling. Wearing your hair in a protective style when you're out and about helps a lot! - Detangle before washing
Always brush out your extensions before you wash them. Wet tangles are harder to deal with and can lead to breakage.
Tape-Ins
How Many Pieces Are in One Pack of Tape-Ins?
We offer two options for our tape-in extensions:
20 pieces (100g) – Offers more hair for a fuller look
10 pieces (50g) – Great for adding a bit of volume or highlights
How many packs do I need?
That depends on your hair type and your goal:
- For medium to thick hair:
• To add length: 3–4 packs of 50g tape-ins
• To add volume/thickness: 2–3 packs of 50g tape-ins - For thin or fine hair:
• To add length: 2–3 packs of 50g tape-ins
• To add volume/thickness: 3–4 packs of 50g tape-ins
Not sure? Email us anytime at service@googoohair.com — we’re happy to help! 💛
Is it 20 sandwiches or 20 individual tapes?
Our 100g tape-in hair extensions come with 20 individual tape pieces, which make 10 sandwiches when installed (each sandwich = 2 tape pieces). So yes, it’s 20 single tapes in total—not 20 sandwiches.
How to Remove My Tape-In Hair Extensions
- Grab some 91% alcohol.
- Spray it generously along the tape—make sure it’s nice and wet so the glue starts to loosen.
- Give it a few minutes to work.
- Gently peel off the extensions. If they don’t come off easily, spray more alcohol and wait a bit longer.
- Use hair oil or serum on any leftover sticky spots to help dissolve the residue.
- Rub gently until it’s gone, then wash your hair as usual.

Our wire hair extensions are designed to be lightweight and gentle—non-invasive and safe for your natural hair. At first, you might notice a new sensation and feel a little different, but that usually fades within 10–15 minutes.
With a bit of wear, you’ll quickly get used to them and find them super comfortable—almost like your own hair!
Can I sleep in my wire hair extensions?
It’s best to remove your wire hair extensions before going to bed. Sleeping in them can cause unnecessary tension or tangling. The good news? They’re super easy to take off and put back on—so your hair stays looking great and your extensions last longer!
How do I adjust my Wire Hair Extensions to fit just right?

What’s the difference between Wire and Pro Wire Hair Extensions?
Pro Wire Hair Extensions are just like our classic Wire style, but with a bonus: they come with two extra clip-in pieces! These clip-ins are worn on the sides to boost volume around your face—perfect for creating a fuller, more balanced look. Thicker side volume can also help frame your face, making it appear smaller and more refined.
Will the wire stay on? Can it fall off?
No, it won’t fall off. Our Wire Hair Extensions are designed to fit securely and stay in place. The adjustable wire rests comfortably behind your hairline and under your occipital bone, creating a snug fit that won’t slip.
