"¦I REALLY Liked This Piece"¦!!!
The Only Issue I Had Was It Was In NO-WAY PLATINUM"¦
I have been a Professional Hair Colorist for 48+ Years, & I Think I Know A Thing Or Two About Color"¦It Was More Of A "Ash-Gold" Color. Other than that, the guality of the hair, & the way it was "constructed ","¦& "shaped","¦& for the price,"¦I would rate it "¦â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸ 1/2 Stars"¦ðŸ©·

So I recently lost a lot of hair last fall - my thyroid was out of control and I didn't know it. I cut off a foot and a half of hair and what was left was baby fine. It's been growing back in steadily, but right now the new growth is only about two inches long; the rest is just past my shoulders and thins out considerably from my scalp. I figured this halo would be perfect while I'm waiting for the new growth to further descend. I purchased a cheap synthetic halo about a month ago and loved it - it blended in perfectly with my hair and nobody can tell I'm wearing a hair piece. So I decided to bite the bullet and purchase one made of real hair that would last until my hair has fully grown out.
Pros: the hair is beautiful. My hairdresser said the halo is fairly well constructed and would probably last a year if treated delicately, maybe even longer with regular trims - which is why I bought the 20 inch. So far, there's been no shedding (even with combing), but keep in mind I've only worn it twice and never washed it. The hair is also very light - some could argue it's because the hair is thinner on bottom than on top, but I like that - it just makes it look more natural. Regardless, it didn't give me a headache due to too much weight.
Cons: the wire is not stretchy in any way, like on my cheap halo. Even after I adjusted and tightened it, it kept slipping back. The only way I could keep it in was to utilize the clips - which is very bad for hair that's still delicate because of hormonal imbalance. I purchased a cheap stretchy wire and swapped them out and the hair stayed in place without the clips just fine. However, I had to remove the clips because even closed they kept tangling in my hair when trying to place the halo.
But the biggest con is how bulky the band is. It's fine if you have a full head of hair to cover it, but if your hair is thin there will be a "˜bump' where the band sits beneath your hair. Most of my hair fall was from the sides, and the band is quite thick on the sides where the wire meets it. I wasn't confident that the ends would stay completely hidden at all times - something I don't have to worry about with the cheap halo because the band is so thin.
So for now, I'll stick with the cheap synthetic halo - maybe come fall I'll be able to swap it out for this piece.

I use halo extensions every day but the beauty store I purchased mine from previously didn't carry platinum hair colors. So I ordered these. I wear them every day, I've toned them, swam with them up in a ponytail, wash and condition them once a week. And the quality upholds! There are a lot of clips which is why I didn't rate 5 stars. But I still highly recommend them!

I love these extensions, my hair barely touches my shoulders and you'd never know. I wear this almost daily and it's very durable, perfect color match too

This is the second one I ordered. I ordered the first in a different color, which matches the color of my hair when it fades. I have naturally blonde hair that I have dyed dark brown, and after a few weeks the color is lighter. So this dark brown one matches the color of my hair when it is first colored. The first one I ordered came in a box, zip tyed, in a hairnet with a pink storage bag, comb, extra wire, and clips. This one came in a plastic bag, no hairnet or zip ties, tangled and clearly used, with a pink storage bag and a comb. The extra clips and wire were not present.

Those issues aside, the hair itself curls, but doesn't curl easily or hold long. With extra strength hairspray, it lasts a day. I don't want hair I have to restyle every day. I have not tried cold curling or wet curling overnight methods, but a heated curl should last three days.

After the first wash, the hair isn't as soft. But it's still soft enough that no one notices the difference between my natural hair and the extensions.

Overall, I woukd buy this product again. But I would send it back if it was obviously used and missing components.
