So you've heard about Halo Hair Extensions.
Good things, probably. But you haven't seen one? Or you're not really sure how they work?
"Something about a wire..."
Good. Then you're in the right place. In this article (and videos) I'm going to answer all these questions for you:
We've got a lot of ground to cover.
Let's dig in...
Unlike other hair extension methods that require glues that cause drying, clips that cause friction and breakage, or weaves that pull on your hair follicles; the Halo doesn't attach to your own hair.
This is ideal because it means it doesn't damage your hair in anyway. And this makes the halo the best hair extension for fine hair.
Check it out:
I'm not sure if they're necessarily better.
I mean everyone has a different viewpoint. Right?
So I'm just going to lay out the facts.
And you can decide for yourself.
There are others hair extension methods, but these are the main ones.
Clip ins are widely known in the hair profession to be the most damaging hair extensions of all the various methods.
The damage caused by clip in extensions ranges from hair breakage to hair loss, and in some cases, severe bald spots.
Whereas Halo extensions, due to their unique non-attachable design, don't cause any damage at all.
Clips ins also take between 20-30 minutes to put in every morning, whereas Halo extensions take less than a minute. So there's a considerable time saving.
It's strongly recommended that if you have fine or sensitive hair, or if your hair is thinning, or if you have any kind of scalp issue like Telogen Effluvium which causes a 2-3x increase in the amount of hair shedding (normally caused by stress or trauma) that you avoid using any products or engaging in activity that causes pulling on your natural hair.
This includes the wearing of clip in hair extensions.
The Micro Bead Extension is not something you could typically put on at home.
You'll need a professional hairdresser to put them in for you.
Which makes them quite expensive to put in.
They're classified as permanent hair extensions (because they're designed to stay in your hair for several weeks).
Like I mentioned above:
The bead when crimped to your hair can can choke your hair strains and cause damage over time.
This normally leads to breakage and hair thinning.
They also require ongoing maintenance; every 4-6 weeks you'll need to go back to the hairdresser for a couple of hours to have them moved up (because your hair grows out).
Because you live, sleep, gym, etc. in them they have to be replaced about every 6 months.
So they can be costly to maintain.
Tapes are similar to Micro Beads.
Your hairdresser puts them in. They have to bring them up every 4-6 weeks.
They get replaced every 6 months.
And as mentioned in the summary above, they can cause damage to your hair because of the adhesive and anti-adhesives which be acidic/drying for your hair. This can cause breakage. Which can lead to hair thinning.
Weave In Extensions are woven in to your hair.
They're similar to Beads and Tape Extensions. Your hairdresser puts them in. Brings them up every 4-6 weeks. Replace every 6 months.
The difference with Weave In Extensions is that they're very painful for the first few days. To install these extensions your hair at the back of your head is tightly plaited, then the wefts of hair are sewn onto the plaits.
The plaits pull tightly at your hair and then you sew 100g of hair onto it. That's a lot of pulling.
But pain is beauty...right? 🤔
Same deal as Beads/Tapes.
But the glue, again, is acidic and causes drying, which can lead to breakage and hair thinning.

The perfect hair extensions for thin or fine hair, the Halo is comfortable wear and easy to use.
And best of all, it cannot cause any damage to your natural hair.
One of the main reasons people wear Halo Hair Extensions is because it's safe to use for girls with thin, fine or delicate hair.
This is a good question. Here are some questions to ask to determine whether Halo Hair Extensions are a good option for you:
1. Do you have fine, thin, delicate or damaged hair, or are you trying to grow your hair longer and/or thicker?
2. Do you have thin hair and wish you could make it thicker without permanent hair extensions that might damage your hair?
3. Does the idea of getting hair extensions make you swoon because perfect hair means length and volume? BUT you're terrified of following through because there’s a big chance that permanent extensions will damage your own hair?
4. Do you think that hair extensions are going to be high maintenance and cost you a small fortune to maintain?
5. Do you wear permanent hair extensions but need to give your hair a break, but then you hate not having hair extensions, even for a week?
6. Lastly...would you feel like you’ve hit the jackpot, if you could have thicker, longer, healthier looking hair today?
Well...would you?
Because it’s the reaction we normally get from women that have had the Sitting Pretty Halo experience.
That's no joke.
Hence the oodles of positive reviews we get.
Once they transform their hair with the Halo they are astounded with the results.
And by how easy it is to use.
The Halo Hair Piece is helping thousands of women achieve perfect thick long hair in literally seconds.
And we couldn't be more excited to share this special “hair movement” with other women who want the same results.
It’s very exciting!
Bad hair days are fast becoming redundant. Ye-haaa!!

It's simple really.
The Halo attaches to your head using the invisible wire. The wire attaches to both sides of the weft.
The weft goes to the back of your head and sits under your occipital bone.
And the wire sits about 1-2 inches from your hairline.
Here's a video to show you exactly how to put on the halo hair extension:
What our customers seem to be the most concerned about when contemplating the idea of the Halo is whether or not it’s actually going to stay on their head and if it’s secure.
This concern is totally understandable because well… It’s not actually attached to your hair at all.
The question we’re often faced with is “If it's not attached to my hair then how does it stay on?… Won’t it fall off?"
Our response is usually something like “Nope, Negative, No… It really won’t fall off ladies & here’s why!”
It’s a hard one to grasp but the fact of the matter is that the SP Halo Extension is designed to be fitted to your head so it sits on the perfect angle.
Just watch this video (you'll see exactly what I mean):
1. You may only want volume. So trimming the halo to the same length as your own hair will achieve this look in seconds.
2. You may only want length! So having your Halo cut and styled by a professional will ensure you get natural length added to your look which is sure to enhance your own hair style.
3. Then if you’re like most and you want both, length and volume. The Halo is especially good for that too!
Whatever your preference is, it’s achievable and can look incredibly natural.
I hope that's answered most of your questions.
