Halo extensions are an easy one-step method that will achieve longer and thicker hair within minutes. Each halo comes with wefts of hair sewn onto a flexible and comfortable mesh band that's attached to a nylon wire. Any type of hair can be worn with halo extensions but if you are someone with short hair that has it cut bluntly, it can sometimes be difficult to blend in the halo therefore a hairdresser may need to create some layers to allow seamless blending, however it isn't impossible. A trick tip is to tie up the back bottom part of your hair so when the hair is pushed forward only the length from the halo is shown. Halo extensions are extremely versatile and have taken the hair industry by storm, they blend in with all hair types and take only minutes to apply and seconds to remove. We offer three different lengths with dedicated grams for each length.

Hand Tied Weft Hair Extensions

Shop Our Hand Tied Weft Hair Extensions Here

We offer a unique double-hand tied weft that is thinner than traditional machine tied wefts but thicker than any traditional hand tied weft which makes it much stronger. Hand tied wefts come on a long piece of thread that makes it easy to apply and won't cause any bunching or folding in the hair when applied. This will create a seamless look that will achieve instant length and added volume. HTW have the flexibility of different methods for application, they can either be sewn in or applied with micro-beads. Both methods have their pros and cons. A con for both is that if the braid sewn around your head is too tight, it could cause hair loss from added strain on your cuticles. Micro-beading have the same risk, if the bead is placed too close to the root it can cause breakage. It's always recommenced to talk with your hairdresser and express any concerns you may have with either application methods to help prevent damage and hair loss on your natural hair.
