All About Scrunchie Care:

 

1.  WHY DOES MY SCRUNCHIE LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM THE PICTURE

 

At GHC we do our best to ensure our photos accurately reflect each scrunchie’s color. However, colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings.

 

2. The scrunchie I wanted is sold out! When will it be restocked?

 

Restock times can vary!

 

Since we source our fabrics locally and often in limited quantities some materials may take time to return or may not be available again. In some cases, we’ve purchased the last of a particular fabric, which means restocks aren’t always guaranteed.

 

To stay in the loop, just sign up for restock notifications directly on the product page of any sold-out item. You’ll be the first to know if and when it returns!

 

3. How do I wash my scrunchies?

 

You can find detailed care instructions on how to properly wash and maintain your scrunchies here

 

 

 

4. How many times will a GHC scrunchie wrap around my hair?

 

Depending on your hair thickness, GHC scrunchies typically wrap around 2–3 times comfortably.

 

 

All About Candle:

 

1. What are the benefits of Coconut Soy Wax?

 

So glad you asked! Coconut soy wax offers several amazing benefits:

 

  • Longer burn time – It burns 30–50% slower than paraffin, so your candle lasts longer.

 

  • Cleaner burn – It produces minimal to no soot and doesn't release harmful toxins into the air.

 

  • Eco-friendly – It's a renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable alternative to petroleum-based waxes.

 

  • Excellent scent throw – It holds and releases fragrance beautifully, both hot and cold.

 

  • Smooth, creamy finish – Gives candles a luxurious look and consistent burn.

 

It’s a win for your home, your health, and the planet.

 

 

2. How long does one candle last?

 

The burn time of your candle depends on the type of wax inside. At Gifted Hands Creation, we use coconut soy, pure soy, and beeswax, each with its own unique burn qualities. Understanding these differences helps you get the most from every candle glow.

 

  • Pure Soy Wax: Offers a long burn time of approximately 25–35 hours for an 8oz candle.

 

  • Coconut Soy Wax: Burns cleanly and slowly, lasting about 30–40 hours for an 8oz candle.

 

  • Beeswax: The slowest burning and longest-lasting, often 40–50+ hours, with a natural honey scent.

 

Proper candle care also helps maximize burn time and fragrance.


 

3. Is your fragrance locally sourced?

 

At Gifted Hands Creation, we’re committed to supporting local businesses. Whenever possible, we source our raw materials locally, though occasionally we work with trusted suppliers from outside the area. Our candles achieve their rich scents using either essential oils or phthalate-free fragrance oils, and soon, with an exciting new innovation, we’ll be combining both for an even better experience.


 

4. Do candles have an expiry date?

 

It's best to burn candles within a year of purchase. We know it's tempting to hold on to your favorites, but over time they can lose their scent and may not burn as well.


5. When Should I Trim My Wick?

 

  • At Gifted Hands Creation, we trim our candle wicks during production to ensure they’re the perfect length for your first burn. After that, it’s up to you!

 

  • Trim your wick to about 2–3 mm (1/8 inch) before each burn, or whenever it looks charred (for wood wicks) or develops “mushrooms” (for cotton wicks).

 

  • This helps your candle light easily, burn cleanly, and for wood wicks gives you that lovely crackling sound without smoky or sooty residue.

 

  • We recommend using a wick trimmer or nail clippers for the best results.


6. How Can I Prevent Tunneling?

 

The easiest way to prevent tunneling is to let your candle burn long enough for the melted wax to reach nearly the edge of the container, usually about 2 to 3 hours on the first burn.

 

With Gifted Hands Creation candles, if you notice about a ¼ inch of wax left around the edges during the first couple of burns, don’t worry; it typically self-corrects after a few more uses. Our vessels are designed to help promote an even melt!


7. Why is there black smoke coming from my candle?

 

Black smoke also known as "sooting" usually means the wick is too long or the candle is burning in a drafty area.

 

To prevent this, keep your candle away from open windows, fans, or vents, and trim the wick to 2–3 mm before each burn. This helps your candle burn cleanly and evenly.

 

 We recommend using a wick trimmer or even nail clippers for a quick fix!


8. Why is the flame on my candle so big?

 

If your candle flame looks more like a mini bonfire, it’s a sign the wick is too long. Blow it out and trim the wick to 2–3 mm using a wick trimmer or nail clippers. A properly trimmed wick will give you a calmer flame, a cleaner burn, and help prevent sooting.

9. How Should I Store My Candle?

 

Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, especially if it’s made with 100% essential oils, which can be sensitive to light and heat. If you still have the original box, keeping it stored inside adds extra protection. That way, your candle stays fresh and ready whenever you are!


10. My Candle Arrived and It’s Freezing! Can I Burn It Right Away?

 

We know you’re excited to light it up but patience is key! If your candle feels cold (like after being outside or in transit during winter), let it sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours before burning. A fully acclimated candle ensures a smoother, more even burn and helps prevent tunneling.
