Clip-Ins, Halo Extensions, and When To Wear Both
When it comes to hair extensions, I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. My hair needs to work for my day, my mood, and my lifestyle—and that’s exactly why I love non-permanent extensions, not only for myself but for my clients.
Clip-ins and halo extensions each serve a different purpose, and once you understand how they work, styling becomes flexible, intuitive, and completely damage-free. You can even use them together if you choose to.
The Difference Between Clip-Ins and Halo Extensions
Halo extensions are my go-to for effortless volume or length, and a quick day-to-day look. They sit on the head with a nearly invisible wire and blend seamlessly with your natural hair. No clips, no sectioning, no stress. I can put one on in minutes and instantly look more polished.
Clip-in extensions give me more control and options with the style. They clip directly into specific sections of the hair, which means I can customize the shape, height, and fullness exactly where I want it. When I’m going for structure or glam, clip-ins are my styling power tool.
When I Choose a Halo: Effortless, Everyday Volume
On most days, I reach for my halo. It’s quick, comfortable, and gives me natural-looking fullness without any extra effort.
I love halos for:
- Everyday wear
- Soft waves, loose curls, or sleek straight styles
- Busy mornings or long days when I still want my hair to look done
If I want my hair to feel fuller and healthier-looking without spending time sectioning or clipping, a halo is the easiest solution. It blends beautifully and moves naturally with me, which makes it perfect for daily life.
When I Choose Clip-Ins: Control, Glam
When I want more drama or intention behind my style, clip-ins are the answer.
I choose clip-ins for:
- Special events, date nights, weddings, or nights out
- Updos, braids, or half-up styles
- Looks that need lift at the crown or fullness at the front
- Photoshoots where I need to change my client’s look multiple times.
- When creating very sleek looks
Clip-ins allow me to place volume or length exactly where it’s needed. They’re ideal when I want a sculpted shape or a more glam finish that lasts all night.
When I Wear Both Together
Plot twist—you can also wear both TOGETHER.
Layering a halo with clip-ins gives me maximum volume, dimension, and balance. The halo fills in the back effortlessly, while clip-ins help me shape the front, crown, or face-framing areas. I also wear both when I want to add even more length by adding clip-ins under my Halo, lower on my head.
I wear both for:
- Photoshoots and content creation, where I need to change the look multiple times.
- Bridal or elevated glam
- Any moment where I want my hair to look flawless from every angle
Why This Approach Works
What I love most is that all of these options are lightweight, blendable, and gentle on my hair. I never feel weighed down, uncomfortable, or locked into one look.
Most importantly, I get complete freedom:
- Zero damage
- Total control
- Volume when and where I want it
- Simplicity
Final Thoughts
Non-permanent extensions give me the ability to adjust my style as easily as my plans—without compromising the health of my hair. And that’s exactly how hair should feel: flexible, empowering, and effortless.
