Halo Hair Extensions

Can you sleep in Halo extensions?
We do not recommend sleeping with your Luxy Hair Halo extensions in, as this can be quite uncomfortable, and may cause tangles within your extensions and your own hair. Since they only take a few minutes to apply, and seconds to remove, please do this daily to maintain the integrity of the hair.

Can you wash Halo hair extensions?
Just like your own hair, Luxy Hair Halo extensions can be washed, blow-dried and styled using heat tools since they are made from 100% remy human hair.

Quality hair requires quality hair care. We recommend using sulfate and alcohol-free products made especially for dry and damaged hair to keep your hair extensions looking their best. We also recommend to always use a heat protectant spray prior to styling and to set your heat tools to a low heat setting of 120C/250F. Anything higher runs the risk of damaging the hair.

How long do Halo hair extensions last?

The lifespan of Halo hair extensions will depend on how well you take care of them, what products you use on them, and how often you wear them. With proper care and regular wear, Luxy Hair extensions last anywhere from 3-6 months up to a year or even longer. For best tips and tricks on how to care for your hair extensions, check out this blog post.
How do I use the Halo Volume Bundle with short hair?
Below is a great example of how our beautiful friend, Kaitlin, adds length to her short hair using the Luxy Hair Halo Volume Bundle. It consists of:
- One 140 gram 12" Halo weft
- Two 20 gram 2-clip wefts
- One 45 gram 4-clip Classic Volumizer Weft
One of the biggest giveaways that you are wearing hair extensions is the bottom layers of your own hair that show underneath the extensions. To ensure the most seamless blend with your short hair you must first section off the bottom of your hair (from the top of your ear to ear), braid it (or tye it back using an elastic band), and pin it securely against your head.
1. Apply your Halo weft as normal. Click here for step-by-step instructions on how to do this.
2. Next, part your hair (similar to how you parted your hair before applying the Halo) slightly above where you placed your Halo weft. Clip your 4-clip Volumizer Weft along where you parted your hair.
3. Then, secure a 2-clip weft at the temple of your head about two inches above your ear, fastening the clip closest to your hairline first. Do the same on the other side with the remaining 2-clip weft.
Can I do ponytails/updos using Halo Extensions?

Halo extensions are suitable for half up half down hairstyles, and low ponytails!
Do Halo extensions come with a tester weft?

Yes, Halo extensions have a tester weft stored in the top compartment of the box. This weft can be used to determine if the shade is a good match. If the shade is not an ideal match, we are more than happy to accommodate a return or exchange as long as the main compartment of your Luxy box has not been opened and the golden security seal has not been tampered with.
How does the Halo wire not show?

Since the Halo wire is thin and clear it's virtually undetectable in your hair! You'll also add a layer of hair over the wire to conceal it.
Do Halo hair extensions damage your hair?

No, the Halo weft does not hurt or cause damage to your hair. You will feel added weight on your scalp, however, this will not cause you any discomfort as the weight of the weft is evenly distributed across the crown of your head. Luxy Halo extensions are lightweight and super comfortable!
Is the Halo wire damaging?

No, Halo Extensions are a non-damaging way to add instant length and volume to your natural hair.
How do I choose between clip-in and Halo extensions?
Halo extensions are a lower maintenance alternative to our clip-in extensions. Instead of having to clip in multiple wefts to ensure a seamless blend, all you need to do is apply the Halo and two 2-clip wefts to the side of your temples in a matter of seconds. Halo extensions are also great for those with thin and fragile hair and for those who have a sensitive scalp and find it hard wearing clip-in extensions.

While both clip-in and halo extensions deliver the same beautiful results, the main difference lies in the difference in application techniques. For example, do you enjoy spending extra time on your hair or are you looking for a quicker solution to longer, fuller hair? Do you enjoy wearing your hair in different styles such as ponytails and updos or do you enjoy wearing your hair down for the most part? At the end of the day, it’s all about personal preference and what works best for you. Check out our comparison chart below to determine which extensions are best for you.

How do you fit Halo hair extensions?
Before applying Halo, be sure to choose the correct wire size, otherwise, your extensions may sit too low or too high on your head. As a rule of thumb, the Halo should sit comfortably around the crown of your head. It should gently touch your head, and should not move when you shake your head.

Can I wear Halo extensions if I already have extensions?
Yes of course! You can apply Halo extensions with your existing extensions for a fuller look.

Are Halo extensions made of human hair?
Halo extensions are made of 100% human remy hair. Remy hair is considered to be the finest quality of human hair because the cuticles are kept intact and not stripped, like in most other non-remy hair extensions. Preserving the hairs' cuticles and aligning them in a unidirectional fashion creates extensions that are completely natural in appearance. This process ensures that the hair remains super soft, shiny, silky and mainly tangle-free throughout its lifetime.

Are there any different care instructions for Halo extensions?

How do I apply Halo extensions?
STEP 1: BRUSH YOUR HAIR

Brush your hair thoroughly to get rid of tangles. Then, brush out your halo and each 2-clip weft gently using our Loop Hair Extensions Brush, or a wide-toothed comb or paddle brush.

STEP 2: SECTION OFF YOUR HAIR

Section off your hair at the crown, tying it into a bun at the top of your head. Leave out the front sections of hair that frame your face to ensure a natural blend.

STEP 3: APPLY YOUR HALO

Choosing the wire length that best fits the size of your head, position your halo over your bun where you parted your hair. Like a headband, it should sit comfortably and securely above your ears.

STEP 4: SECURE A 2-CLIP WEFT AT EACH TEMPLE

For some extra oomph around the sides of your face, secure a 2-clip weft at the temple of your head about two inches above your ear, fastening the clip closest to your hairline first. Do the same on the other side with the remaining 2-clip weft.

STEP 5: BLEND FOR HEAVENLY RESULTS

Take down your bun and brush through your hair to smooth everything out ensuring your real hair is covering all the wefts and the halo. If you’re not using our Loop Hair Extensions Brush, be extra cautious when brushing over the wire of the halo to avoid snagging.

What if I need a thicker Halo weight?
The Halo is 140 grams of hair and comes with two 2-clip wefts (20 grams each) to help blend in the hair that frames your face. The weight of the Halo and two 2-clip wefts is 180 grams.

You can purchase our 20" Halo Volume Bundle. It includes a 20" Volumizer Weft which you can clip directly on top of the Halo to add additional thickness. You can also clip it in over your Halo. The Volumizer Weft is an individual 45 gram, 4-clip weft, 7 inches in width, and 20 inches in length. It is great for adding more volume if needed or if you want to experiment with adding in a Balayage shade for added dimension to your hair color.

Is it possible for the Halo extensions to slip/fall out?
No, the Halo extensions will not slip or fall out of your hair if applied correctly. This is why we added the extra clips on either side of the weft for added security if needed. After you apply the Halo, the weight of your hair laying on top will also help keep it in place. You can whip your hair back and forth without any worries of the extensions falling out!

How do Halo hair extensions work?
Halo Extensions are a one and done method to achieve longer, fuller hair. They’re perfect for first-time users and simple enough to apply for everyday wear in just a few minutes.

The weight of the full Halo set is 180g. This includes one Halo weft (140g) that is 12 inches wide and two additional 2-clip wefts (20g each) to help blend face-framing pieces. Halo is available in a standard 20” length.

Luxy Hair Halo extensions sit on top of your head using a nylon wire that is custom fit to your head size. There are two clips (one on either side) placed about 1.5 inches from the end of the Halo weft to ensure a secure fit. Also, after you put in your extensions, the weight of your hair laying on top will also help to keep it in place. Be rest assured - you can flip your hair around without the extensions coming out!
