One halo brand I’ve been curious to try but haven’t yet is from Sitting Pretty. I can’t do the super long extensions, it’s just too much hair for me to deal with. They didn’t offer as many length options, so I went with the 18 inch extension and cut it to my preference. The Luxy also came with two clips on the band to secure it to your head, but I cut them out because it was hard to pull my hair through the extension without my hair snagging in the clip. I switched it out using an extra fishing wire and bead from the Hidden Crown extension I had on hand, but you could easily order this online if you were considering this option. I also have fine-textured hair, so I felt like the band was more noticeable. When I would brush the extensions, I could feel it stretch on my head, which I didn’t love. The wire it came with was more like a clear band – it was very stretchy and noticeable thicker. I currently use a Luxy Halo hair extension, and the color match has been perfect however, I did have to DIY a few things to make it work to my preference. I also remember having more of a headache after wearing these for a few hours, but I also wore them a lot more regularly back then. The one negative I noticed with this feature though is the sides could buckle a little bit depending on where you placed the wire. The extension itself was adjustable, which I liked because I could play around with what fit the most comfortably on my head. They offer a lot of length variety, and also have a layered option. This is great if you’re not comfortable matching your own color online, or want a stylist to color and cut the extension for you professionally for a perfect match. Halo Couture was the first halo extension I tried, and you can only get them through a salon that carries them. I tried the strawberry blonde (27/613), which was way too orange and streaky with thick blonde highlights, and the color 2412, which was also not the best match compared to others in the same color family. They were the least natural looking to me, and the two color options I tried for my hair weren’t a great match. I personally don’t recommend Hidden Crown after having a not so great working relationship with them that I won’t get into, but I know a lot of girls who love them. I think out of all three, the Halo Couture is my favorite, but it is the most expensive option. I currently use a Luxy halo extension, but I’ve also tried Hidden Crown and Halo couture in the past.
