Hey Angie! I have a halo hair extension from Amazon that I love! The difference between mine and yours is that it’s lined with a soft lace on the inside top of the extension where the edge of the hair touches my scalp-no itching at all!!! It’s from Youngsee. I also ordered extra wires so if it breaks you have a backup wire-which did happen to me. You can adjust the length of the wire with this extension. Mine was an 80gram weight which is a little thick. If you don’t have thinning hair and just want more length, 40 grams is fine. The cost was $60.
I just want to say thank you, Angie, for this video. You are always honest, funny, and down to earth. Since going through menopause, my hair is shedding at a rapid rate, especially at the temples, crown, and now the top. I know it's 'just hair' and I am lucky it isn't something far more dire, but it's still hard to lose that part of me. I very much appreciate you tackling this topic for those of us who need it. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos for us.
Hi Angie! This video intrigued me because I wear a halo hair extension often. For putting it on, I recommend sectioning off the hair first and clipping it up, then placing the halo over the sectioned off part so that your natural hair can then just fall on top of the halo you don’t have to do as much pulling out to cover it once it’s on. It also appeared that you had yours a bit too far back. Although it still looks great on you! The itching is a total surprise to me- I’ve never experienced that. Like someone else suggested, I think a good washing and conditioning of the halo might be a good idea. That also helps it to look more like your natural hair.i will say that it did take me a couple times wearing it before I got used to the weight of it though. The halo i use is one of the pricier ones, but it’s nice and thick. It also comes with really strong clips for anyone that would rather attach it that way. It’s honesty been a lifesaver for me as my hair is getting thinner and thinner as I get older. The halo gives me much more confidence. 😃
Hidden Crown halos were my saving grace. I always have had a lot of long hair, in great condition. I went through extreme stress (in a very short time husband of 23 yrs died in a horrific way, my finding him, mom died of cancer, best friend died of a heart attack, serious ovarian cancer scare resulting in full hysterectomy, all with 5 grieving kids to try to get through all this and moving from only home they knew). My hair began breaking at my neck and falling out in clumps out of my scalp. It was just more devastation. I lost 3/4 my hair. If I wasn't enough of a mess, I couldn't leave the house with how bad it was. I found Hidden Crown and could at least get by with my hair looking how my hair always used to.
Hey Angie, I’m a weave, braid, u-part, clip-ins, half wig devotee; you may have to shampoo/condition it before wearing. Anytime I order hair (human or synthetic) I wash/condition it first. Sometimes there’s a build-up from processing that can be itchy. Just a suggestion. Love your content. ❤️
Hi Tu Cao, I wear many brands, but keep in mind I have a more textured coarse kinky curl to my hair. I’ve worn the Halo brand a few years ago (when I had a relaxer to get a straighter texture) and they worked pretty well, but I change up often. Some of brands I’ve worn include: Flawless, Sunny, LuvMe, Divine, Bella. I sometimes purchase the hair from the vendor and customize my own halo string, clip-ins, or u-part. While the color, texture, style may all be different, the thing they all have in common is a good shampoo/conditioning before wearing. Also, I give my own hair a break in between styles. So I may wear a particular halo to a special event only, but wear my long clip-ins 9-5, and on the weekend just a clip on ponytail. Hope that helps....❤️
Generally I am not super sensitive or allergic to stuff, but I remember when I got mine a couple of years ago, after taking it out of its box, almost immediately my hands and forearms and every part of my skin that came in contact with it started itching and broke out in mild hives. I then learned there is this silicony layer on the hair that needs to be shampoo out before handling it. It looks awesome on you Angie. 👍👍👍
Love this idea, more please! I'm shocked at how nice the cheap hair looked when mixed with your hair. I vote yes to you purchasing the Halo. Thank you!
I started to wear a hair topper in September and I love it! I bought it for my daughters wedding but now I wear it everyday. I even got another one. It adds fullness and blends with my real hair. No one ever notices, even my own daughter. Having thicker hair makes me feel and look younger I think. I wish I could post a pic but I can’t figure out how. Thanks Angie for trying new things and sharing your honest opinions with us! ❤️
I would add a touch of matte eyeshadow on the little "fishing line" that's exposed at the part line, taking that shine down would make it undetectable! Sorry you found it uncomfortable, maybe just use it for pictures since you already have it. You could also try adding some hot glue along the weft line that you found so itchy - maybe that would relieve the sensation!
I think you have one of the most realistic reviews on you tube. I appreciate you’re close up camera shots when you try product especially foundation. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you show us!
Hi Angie. I think they looked very natural on you and you looked great! I used to wear the Halo extension though and the plastic string on the top ended up breaking off my hair on the top and my real hair started to look terrible. I loved how it looked but I ended up not being able to wear them. Darn!!! Love you by the way! 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
I would love to try a topper since my volume loss is more on the top vs length. You are my guru for all the things and my personal fashion stylist, lol! You are my favorite RUclips channel! Thank you for making my life easier and happier!
I have a halo hairpiece that came with extra clip ins. I have had hair loss from medicines, illness and surgery and the hair pieces just make me feel better. I also experienced itching when wearing any kind of hair extensions (synthetic or real) but the trade off in how it made me look and feel was worth it. It looked good on you too.
It looks good and blended when curled for the $$. I would be interested in seeing more options, like the Halo. Thanks and have a great day with no itching. xo
I've used the clip in bangs to try them out before cutting my hair into bangs. I loved them...actually liked how they look( always perfect) as compared to my own! Hahaha
Angie, you make that hair look great! Next time, soak the hair in vinegar for about 20 minutes to release the chemicals and the shampoo it to make sure its clean. I really like it on you.
My hair is very thin because of Covid. I had long Covid. I’m going to purchase one today. I put it off for a long time but after seeing this, I feel encouraged. Thank you.
Im a Holo Couture rep and I think they are the best! 💕 quality is amazing. The wire shouldn’t be that stretchy. With a Halo Couture the wire is virtually invisible.. the weft is comfortable lace. The quality of human hair is awesome, Remi hair. It shouldn’t itch. Be sure to not go above 360 degrees on your curling iron. 😀💕
I thought the thing looked awful in the beginning but awesome after you put it on. Another example of why it’s good to hold off judgement until we know more. I love that you’re courageous enough to not only try but share new things like this with us. Who would’ve expected the itchiness?!? I think you’re partly so successful with your channel BC we all can see you as our girlfriend!
Wow. What a beautiful look that gave you. I love the look. My friend sections off her hair where the halo will go ,pull her hair up them puts the halo on and combs. Thank you very much for showing us affordable products . All of us cannot buy all high end products or Chanel or Hermès like some influencers show. I so greatly appreciate you!❤️
Mine have never itched. I have had to depend on halo due to falling hair from having hypothyroid. But I have been separated for years now and so many things he would not let me take, clothes, etc.I was made to move it wasn't pretty. So 10 years forward my hair started acting up again and away went my waist-length hair, at least I had it for a few years :) So now looking for the perfect halo, this pretty lady her halo looked so pretty on her:)
I’ve been wanting to try one of these for a few years, but same as you didn’t want to spend a lot of money if I didn’t like it or couldn’t get a good color match. TY, this is so encouraging!
I’d like to see the genuine halo too. For the itching, maybe try: pulling your hair up into a partial ponytail before putting it on, but pulling out less so you leave hair for it to rest on, not skin, and flipping it over so the stitching is on the outside? Especially where you’re curling it anyway. Thanks for your great reviews!
Glad i found your channel. Im turning 44 this year. Ive never been one to wear make up or do my hair. But i really like your look and i might dabble now that my normal baby face is starting to mature.
I would definitely be interested in seeing you try and review the actual Halo volumizer as well as a topper. My friends and I love your channel. So helpful. Thanks!
I have tried Halo and similar halo-type extensions; but, the best find I came across was Revlon Fabulength Extensions. I got 2 extensions in the box (so can go fuller if I want). They don’t have the thick ‘weft’ (I think that’s the term). They are not itchy. It’s not human hair; but, even the hairdressers were fooled when I told them I was wearing extensions - I went in to have them trimmed to the length I wanted. They all went out and bought some. I only paid about $30 for the two! They’re great, and look VERY natural.
Wow! I’m really impressed. I think it looks beautiful on you! But I agree...the itching would drive me nuts, lol!! Thanks for the review. Would love to see you try the topper because that’s where my hair has gotten a bit thinner!!
My daughter and I both got these eight years ago in San Diego, where they sold them when they first started out near their headquarters in Temecula. I absolutely LOOOOOOVE them! So fast and easy with a rat tail comb and they are in! My daughter got several lengths, I'm still using my originals! Get them! !! Ours were several hundred dollars at the time, not sure what they cost nowadays.
I was so curious about the HALO hair extensions until I saw the price. Thank you so much for showing us a more affordable option. I appreciate all that you share!
Thank you for showing that. I recently cut my hair shorter to get it healthy but I miss long hair so much. I was thinking about extensions but I think it’s a little too much work for me. Love watching your tutorials!
Yup...stopped all the time sucking processes, cut my hair shorter for faster prep and am soooo much happier. Also, am I the ONLY person in the world that doesn’t like the “ beach wave” look? To me it just looks unfinished and sloppy. Maybe it will die in a few more years.
Becka Bronstad , oh yes, I agree. Life’s too short to tolerate discomfort in the name of beauty. No more dry matte lipsticks, coloring my gray hair, or wearing high heels for me. 😁
@@lesd1923 HATE this look!!!!!! I have thought from the beginning, 10 years at least, now? that I hated the look. I could do that look, if my bald spots on top were teased over, but I have never ever wanted it !!! WHY/HOW WHY did it become so popular??? Think you have to have some kind of flat iron or wand to wrap curl round hair, but WHY??? I go through MUCH longer process just to go out around my grown children becuase THEY are the ONLY people I get dressed up for, or look my best for, even during the day time. But they are My World, so they are all who matters to me. And I want them to think I am an elegant lady, which I like to think I am. I just don't go out unless I can be with children and grandchildren, or doc appointments, or few errands to Sephora ONLY when I can't order product (s) online. But when I am home alone, (divorced for over 25 years since I can't fall in love with any other man), I am plagued with chronic lower back pain and horrific Arthritis in hip. So even just getting ready, the day BEFORE I go out anywhere, I do as much as I can to get ready so I won't be so exhausted the following day with the children, errands, docs. I'm telling you all this I have no idea, just that your comment made me laugh out loud, of which I do not do often!!! And I am so there with you! But if I could wear hair short, it would be REal short and very exotic!!! So, thank you for making me LAUGH!
It looked so great!! You can hand sew a narrow ribbon of velvet around the area that was itchy...just tack it on to start and see if it helps...then if it does you can hand sew it on. I thought it looked really good!
I love that you still have both your parents! I've started taking a supplement with 500mg solubized keratin, and my eyebrows are coming back! Hard to say whether my hair is shedding less- I think so!
@@sheilab1283 Sheila, you're looking for 500mg daily CNS, solubilized keratin. I've been using the one from Life Extensions for about a month; it adds Silica, claiming it's good for bones. It's like Retin-A, in that studies show results months in, not overnight. So, I was really pleased to see the tails of my eyebrows filling in already!
If it itches that means you’re allergic to The chemicals in it you should do a vinegar rinse apple cider vinegar preferred. You will see all the chemicals coming off then wash and condition as normal then let it air dry but definitely rinse it because if it itches that causes baldness
Emma Dee I understand that’s a big investment but look into how a wig is made and if that looks clean to you and you feel comfortable putting that on your head without washing it then that’s your choice and also look into a video of hair being rinsed and you can see all the chemicals coming off. And I don’t even wear wigs but I know you should rinse them before you put them on. That’s why a lot of people are losing their edges and you see people tapping their head and scratching because it itches
MariLuvly thank you for explaining and I shouldn’t have sounded so “I wouldn’t do this or that” when I don’t know enough to be so adamant!! So my halo and i haven’t quite “become one” and you think by washing and rinsing it, it might make a huge difference in overall texture of it?? Me and that thing have got to get it together!! Right now I have a $450 piece of hair in a box doing NOTHING!! 😂😂🤣🤣. Thank you dear!! Sorry if I came across ass a horses ass too!!
Hello Angie. The hairpiece added so much volume and looked 100% natural. It made the most impact in the back! Loved the lighter color blended in with your hair. I hope that you can resolve the itching by the tips about apple cider vinegar rinse. I occasionally use apple cider vinegar on my hair and it is the best clarifier ever!
Hi Angie: I bought this on amazon as well.. You’re not the only one who experienced extreme itching. Haven’t tried to curl it yet either, looked a nit fake and a little too long.
I have that same top! Love it! I’ve always been a little bit leery about hair extensions. I don’t think it’s my thing. But I like that you’re trying it, and I know that a lot of people like them.
Thank you Angie! This is so timely for me. Purchased a Halo and a topper. The topper I’m sending back. Had such great hopes because like others, have had a rapid hair thinning sitch on top. It looked ridiculous. I trimmed the Halo because it was a little long but mine has side clips in addition to the band that are cumbersome. I actually prefer a synthetic messy bun I purchased years ago because I prefer my hair up and no one can tell.
Angie, this halo looks AMAZING on you. I absolutely love it! LOVE. So beautiful. Try giving it a wash and dry and give us an update! Let us know if it takes the itchiness away!
I never would have known that wasn’t your hair. I bought the halo couture brand from my salon. I absolutely love it. I honestly forget it’s on. Yes it’s about a 400 investment but I have thin hair so it’s been more than worth it. 😍
This looked so nice on you. I hope the suggestion to wash and condition alleviate the itching so you can get more use out of your purchase. My scalp is very sensitive and all kinds of styling aids make me itch or worse, ache. Were talking combs, clips, barettes, pins and extensions. You may be like me. But, I must admit I did not wash my extensions before I wore them, so now thanks to your subscribers, I'll give that a go. I learned a lot from all the comments your video generated.
Hi Angie, I started out with one of the Halos, and I loved it but I wanted to be able to put it up and it wouldn't work using the Halo so now I have tape-in extensions. I have very fine and hair that's more on the thin side, so I use them for fullness. Your hair looks so thick with the Halo. Another suggestion on putting in the Halo that I've seen other bloggers do is to section off the top part of your hair and put it in a clip and then pu in the halo and let your hair down over it. You do get used to the itchiness of it so that it's not such a big deal after a while. Also, mine was the real Halo one and the hair looks nicer with the real Halos.
SO glad you did this and would love to see you do more wig pieces. This seems like an awesome way to expand hairstyle possibilities. I just ordered a messy bun from Amazon and will let you know how it goes. Kat H, thank you for sharing your experience!
Hey Angie, I just received mine from another brand. The demos I’ve seen show putting a section of hair up before you put on your hair. The only hair you need to pull out is the hair around the string. On top and sides.
I use to have tape in extensions after a bad hair cut lol. It was sooo expensive and very high maintenance to maintain and return to reapply higher as my hair grew out. I like the thought of this. I think I'm going to look into! Thank you so much!! 🥰
They are very good for people who’s hair isn’t strong enough for extensions I’ve used them for years but they don’t last long when you wash them the hair eventually tangles and the elastic has snapped on two of them after a while but I still recommend them
It looked good but the itching isn’t great. I would wash & condition it to see if that fixed the itching. Off the subject but I have learned to sleep on my back! I haven’t seen any miracles yet, but it is a challenge and I am thrilled to finally got there as it isn’t easy. You are always a good sport Angie and we thank you for all you do for us. Thanks 😊
I have the Halo. It was awesome for me, even though I only wore it half a dozen times or so. I got it at the suggestion of a friend that managed upscale hair salons. I had recently developed alopecia areata (bald spots) as well as overall thinking. Since I didn’t have any bald spots on the top of my head, this type of extensions was a perfect choice. My biggest concern was that it would give me a headache because any pulling on my hair, such as even pinning my hair up, can trigger headaches or migraines. But to my happy surprise, it was super comfortable and did not trigger any headaches at all. Thankfully, all my hair has since grown back, so I haven’t felt the need to wear it for a while. But it is nice to have when I may want a little more “va-va-voom” to my style. 😁
Hey Angie! I have a halo hair extension from Amazon that I love! The difference between mine and yours is that it’s lined with a soft lace on the inside top of the extension where the edge of the hair touches my scalp-no itching at all!!! It’s from Youngsee.

What kind did u use
Hidden Crown halos were my saving grace. I always have had a lot of long hair, in great condition. I went through extreme stress (in a very short time husband of 23 yrs died in a horrific way, my finding him, mom died of cancer, best friend died of a heart attack, serious ovarian cancer scare resulting in full hysterectomy, all with 5 grieving kids to try to get through all this and moving from only home they knew).

Betsy/BA BF I’m so’ sorry that’s horrific,
You poor thing, my heart goes out to you. I hope you’re coming years are full of love, happiness, and peace 💕 I will pray for better times for you
OH MY I hope you connected with the Lord in all this stress.
It looks gorgeous! I would love to hear a follow-up after you wash and condition it as others have suggested.
Hey Angie, I’m a weave, braid, u-part, clip-ins, half wig devotee; you may have to shampoo/condition it before wearing. Anytime I order hair (human or synthetic) I wash/condition it first. Sometimes there’s a build-up from processing that can be itchy. Just a suggestion. Love your content. ❤️

Wondering where you get your half wigs from?
Wow thank you so much!!!
She's such a sport, love her! I think it looks really good..
Generally I am not super sensitive or allergic to stuff, but I remember when I got mine a couple of years ago, after taking it out of its box, almost immediately my hands and forearms and every part of my skin that came in contact with it started itching and broke out in mild hives.

I have never seen a curling iron that spins - pretty cool .
I would be interested in seeing the Halo "topper" in addition to the traditional Halo.
Yes, the toppers look interesting!
Me too... That's where I need volume. Thank you!
I am interested in topper too.
Me too
Yes
Love this idea, more please! I'm shocked at how nice the cheap hair looked when mixed with your hair. I vote yes to you purchasing the Halo. Thank you!

Where did you purchase your hair topper?
I’d love to know what brand you have!
Marie Egypt I got it at wigs today in cherry creek Denver. Missy styled it for me. It’s perfect!!
Elaine W I have two they are both heat resistant quality so I can curl with heat less than 350 degrees. It’s a Jon Renau
I would add a touch of matte eyeshadow on the little "fishing line" that's exposed at the part line, taking that shine down would make it undetectable! Sorry you found it uncomfortable, maybe just use it for pictures since you already have it. You could also try adding some hot glue along the weft line that you found so itchy - maybe that would relieve the sensation!
Great tip!
Alex thank-you fantastic idea:)
Genius.
I think you have one of the most realistic reviews on you tube. I appreciate you’re close up camera shots when you try product especially foundation. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you show us!
The Halo hair looks absolutely beautiful on you. I absolutely love it on you. I think Im convinced!
I invested in the luxy halo and I’m so impressed. It’s really high quality and thick. Would recommend!
Hi Angie. I think they looked very natural on you and you looked great! I used to wear the Halo extension though and the plastic string on the top ended up breaking off my hair on the top and my real hair started to look terrible. I loved how it looked but I ended up not being able to wear them. Darn!!! Love you by the way! 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Thanks for sharing your experience with them!! xo ~a.
The “The real deal” is very comfortable. They do suggest teasing the crown of your hair which I am in to! It just completes the look! Try it!
I would love to try a topper since my volume loss is more on the top vs length. You are my guru for all the things and my personal fashion stylist, lol! You are my favorite RUclips channel! Thank you for making my life easier and happier!
Looks nice and very natural. As other people have said, I would also like to see the Halo topper.
So glad you did this video. Just what I wanted to watch. Happy to hear you mentioned your Mom! God bless her. Wishing you many more years together!
I’ve been Halo hair extensions curious forever 🧐 Glad “we” got to try it today 🥰 It looks great ... minus the itching 🤨 As always, thank you 😘
Thanks Angie! Whether you like them or not...as always, you are a joy to watch! I feel like I'm visiting with a good friend when I watch your videos.

Been using these for 11 years they are fantastic for certain hair types and length.
So the line across the top doesn’t thin your hair? That is what I’m concerned about.
It looks great! Love how you figure this out on camera just like we would. Thanks for this
I'm interested in trying the bangs so a video on that would be awesome
Angie with bangs???!? MUST see that! 😂
I've used the clip in bangs to try them out before cutting my hair into bangs. I loved them...actually liked how they look( always perfect) as compared to my own! Hahaha
Angie, you make that hair look great! Next time, soak the hair in vinegar for about 20 minutes to release the chemicals and the shampoo it to make sure its clean. I really like it on you.
My hair is very thin because of Covid. I had long Covid. I’m going to purchase one today. I put it off for a long time but after seeing this, I feel encouraged. Thank you.
Hey Angie, Love your videos, they are informative and detailed without being overly talkative, which I appreciate. Love your eye shadow!
Im a Holo Couture rep and I think they are the best! 💕 quality is amazing. The wire shouldn’t be that stretchy. With a Halo Couture the wire is virtually invisible.. the weft is comfortable lace. The quality of human hair is awesome, Remi hair. It shouldn’t itch. Be sure to not go above 360 degrees on your curling iron. 😀💕
It's just so nice to see you smile and giggle.
You did a great job for us, that's what counts. We all regard your opinions. Thank you for what you do.
I am so glad you made this video. I have been on the fence about buy them.
The extension looks 100% natural and looks FANTASIC and SUPER PRETTY.
looks so pretty, i love it!! wash it first then wear it, all of the time the hair is coated, if you wash it it will be less itchy
Thanks for the tip!
I love your sincerity in everything you do Angie, love your tips, many thanks Lucia from London
I thought the thing looked awful in the beginning but awesome after you put it on. Another example of why it’s good to hold off judgement until we know more. I love that you’re courageous enough to not only try but share new things like this with us. Who would’ve expected the itchiness?!?

It looks very natural. It gives you so much more fullness. Beautiful in the back!! Itchy, no bueno.
I would love to see the real Halo as a comparison. Looks great, but itching is a big no. Have a great day and thanks for the video!
Mine have never itched. I have had to depend on halo due to falling hair from having hypothyroid. But I have been separated for years now and so many things he would not let me take, clothes, etc.I was made to move it wasn't pretty.

Forget the hair on a rope, I need that beachwaver curling iron in my life 😍
I was shocked on how good it looks! Great job!
Girl, you're so funny! That's the difference between a $35 and $200 hair piece - Quality. You already know this.
I’ve been wanting to try one of these for a few years, but same as you didn’t want to spend a lot of money if I didn’t like it or couldn’t get a good color match. TY, this is so encouraging!

Try the halo! Apparently, Risa loves it. This one looked great, but ugh, that itchiness!
Oh my gosh I was scratching my head through the entire video! Lol! Thanks for taking one for the team, Angie!
I would definitely be interested in seeing you try and review the actual Halo volumizer as well as a topper. My friends and I love your channel. So helpful. Thanks!
It matched your hair perfectly and looked GREAT!
I have tried Halo and similar halo-type extensions; but, the best find I came across was Revlon Fabulength Extensions. I got 2 extensions in the box (so can go fuller if I want). They don’t have the thick ‘weft’ (I think that’s the term). They are not itchy. It’s not human hair; but, even the hairdressers were fooled when I told them I was wearing extensions - I went in to have them trimmed to the length I wanted. They all went out and bought some. I only paid about $30 for the two! They’re great, and look VERY natural.
LOOKS GREAT!! It looks longer and thicker and REAL!
Wow! I’m really impressed. I think it looks beautiful on you! But I agree...the itching would drive me nuts, lol!! Thanks for the review. Would love to see you try the topper because that’s where my hair has gotten a bit thinner!!
My daughter and I both got these eight years ago in San Diego, where they sold them when they first started out near their headquarters in Temecula. I absolutely LOOOOOOVE them! So fast and easy with a rat tail comb and they are in! My daughter got several lengths, I'm still using my originals! Get them! !! Ours were several hundred dollars at the time, not sure what they cost nowadays.
I was so curious about the HALO hair extensions until I saw the price. Thank you so much for showing us a more affordable option. I appreciate all that you share!
Thank you for showing that. I recently cut my hair shorter to get it healthy but I miss long hair so much. I was thinking about extensions but I think it’s a little too much work for me. Love watching your tutorials!
I, too, would be interested in a topper. My hair is thinning on the crown. Thank you for doing this for us!! Love your channel!
Hi. Your scalp will get use to it and it won't itch anymore..so worth it.
Yes please do the Halo comparison 😃
I bought a Madison braids braided headband. I love it. It blends with my hair nicely and gives me a fun option for my shorter hair!
Ha! As I've gotten older I've become far less tolerant of anything less than comfortable! Gone are the days of suffering for beauty! 😂
Totally agree with you, I don't even wear makeup any more
Yup...stopped all the time sucking processes, cut my hair shorter for faster prep and am soooo much happier. Also, am I the ONLY person in the world that doesn’t like the “ beach wave” look? To me it just looks unfinished and sloppy. Maybe it will die in a few more years.
Becka Bronstad , oh yes, I agree. Life’s too short to tolerate discomfort in the name of beauty. No more dry matte lipsticks, coloring my gray hair, or wearing high heels for me. 😁
@@lesd1923 HATE this look!!!!!! I have thought from the beginning, 10 years at least, now? that I hated the look. I could do that look, if my bald spots on top were teased over, but I have never ever wanted it !!! WHY/HOW WHY did it become so popular??? Think you have to have some kind of flat iron or wand to wrap curl round hair, but WHY??? I go through MUCH longer process just to go out around my grown children becuase THEY are the ONLY people I get dressed up for, or look my best for, even during the day time. But they are My World, so they are all who matters to me. And I want them to think I am an elegant lady, which I like to think I am. I just don't go out unless I can be with children and grandchildren, or doc appointments, or few errands to Sephora ONLY when I can't order product (s) online. But when I am home alone, (divorced for over 25 years since I can't fall in love with any other man), I am plagued with chronic lower back pain and horrific Arthritis in hip. So even just getting ready, the day BEFORE I go out anywhere, I do as much as I can to get ready so I won't be so exhausted the following day with the children, errands, docs. I'm telling you all this I have no idea, just that your comment made me laugh out loud, of which I do not do often!!! And I am so there with you! But if I could wear hair short, it would be REal short and very exotic!!! So, thank you for making me LAUGH!
My hair is a neck length bronde mix and is healthy and thick. Im just going to grow out my own tresses!
great hair! it totaly looks natural and was not expecting that!
I think it looks great. I love the added length too. You’ve inspired me to get one and try it.
It looked so great!! You can hand sew a narrow ribbon of velvet around the area that was itchy...just tack it on to start and see if it helps...then if it does you can hand sew it on. I thought it looked really good!
I love that you still have both your parents! I've started taking a supplement with 500mg solubized keratin, and my eyebrows are coming back! Hard to say whether my hair is shedding less- I think so!
Do you have the brand? I'd love to see less shedding of my own hair!
@@sheilab1283 Sheila, you're looking for 500mg daily CNS, solubilized keratin. I've been using the one from Life Extensions for about a month; it adds Silica, claiming it's good for bones. It's like Retin-A, in that studies show results months in, not overnight. So, I was really pleased to see the tails of my eyebrows filling in already!
Your channel is far above excellence. This is professional and fun. Thank you!
It looks pretty good, like natural hair!!
It looks great on you! So natural. Thank you for sharing
I just bought the same brand different color, thank u for a great instruction video! I definitely will be back
If it itches that means you’re allergic to The chemicals in it you should do a vinegar rinse apple cider vinegar preferred. You will see all the chemicals coming off then wash and condition as normal then let it air dry but definitely rinse it because if it itches that causes baldness
Thanks so much! Will give it a try!!
If, you do the rinse and wash then try wearing it again, please let us know if that made it not itch for you. Thanks
MariLuvly I’m not comfortable putting that in new hair I just paid close to $400 for
Emma Dee I understand that’s a big investment but look into how a wig is made and if that looks clean to you and you feel comfortable putting that on your head without washing it then that’s your choice and also look into a video of hair being rinsed and you can see all the chemicals coming off. And I don’t even wear wigs but I know you should rinse them before you put them on.
That’s why a lot of people are losing their edges and you see people tapping their head and scratching because it itches
MariLuvly thank you for explaining and I shouldn’t have sounded so “I wouldn’t do this or that” when I don’t know enough to be so adamant!! So my halo and i haven’t quite “become one” and you think by washing and rinsing it, it might make a huge difference in overall texture of it?? Me and that thing have got to get it together!! Right now I have a $450 piece of hair in a box doing NOTHING!! 😂😂🤣🤣. Thank you dear!! Sorry if I came across ass a horses ass too!!
Hello Angie. The hairpiece added so much volume and looked 100% natural. It made the most impact in the back! Loved the lighter color blended in with your hair. I hope that you can resolve the itching by the tips about apple cider vinegar rinse. I occasionally use apple cider vinegar on my hair and it is the best clarifier ever!
Hi Angie: I bought this on amazon as well.. You’re not the only one who experienced extreme itching. Haven’t tried to curl it yet either, looked a nit fake and a little too long.
Loved it! I have thin hair like you and will try this! Love I could take it off quickly at the end of the day.
OMG! I really saw the difference. It made you look tens years younger. Its no joke. Thanks for this tutorial.
I spent sometime going through some of your old videos and I loved them they are still so relevant
Looks natural and beautiful. Hope you will try the vinegar rinse and let us know if that helps the itching.
I have that same top! Love it! I’ve always been a little bit leery about hair extensions. I don’t think it’s my thing. But I like that you’re trying it, and I know that a lot of people like them.
Thank you Angie! This is so timely for me. Purchased a Halo and a topper. The topper I’m sending back. Had such great hopes because like others, have had a rapid hair thinning sitch on top. It looked ridiculous. I trimmed the Halo because it was a little long but mine has side clips in addition to the band that are cumbersome. I actually prefer a synthetic messy bun I purchased years ago because I prefer my hair up and no one can tell.
Angie, this halo looks AMAZING on you. I absolutely love it! LOVE. So beautiful. Try giving it a wash and dry and give us an update! Let us know if it takes the itchiness away!
Thanks for the giggles and good humour, Angie. You made my day.
Looks fabulous. I bought one months ago,but have not tried it yet. Inspired to pull it out!
I never would have known that wasn’t your hair. I bought the halo couture brand from my salon. I absolutely love it. I honestly forget it’s on. Yes it’s about a 400 investment but I have thin hair so it’s been more than worth it. 😍
I wear the wire hair extensions from Hidden Crown and absolutely love them. Never any itching. They do look nice on you.🙂
I have a Hidden Crown halo extension too and I love it!!
This was def the best halo extension review I could find. Thank you for covering all the important topics! You answered all my questions
This looked so nice on you. I hope the suggestion to wash and condition alleviate the itching so you can get more use out of your purchase. My scalp is very sensitive and all kinds of styling aids make me itch or worse, ache. Were talking combs, clips, barettes, pins and extensions. You may be like me. But, I must admit I did not wash my extensions before I wore them, so now thanks to your subscribers, I'll give that a go. I learned a lot from all the comments your video generated.
Hi Angie, I started out with one of the Halos, and I loved it but I wanted to be able to put it up and it wouldn't work using the Halo so now I have tape-in extensions. I have very fine and hair that's more on the thin side, so I use them for fullness. Your hair looks so thick with the Halo. Another suggestion on putting in the Halo that I've seen other bloggers do is to section off the top part of your hair and put it in a clip and then pu in the halo and let your hair down over it. You do get used to the itchiness of it so that it's not such a big deal after a while. Also, mine was the real Halo one and the hair looks nicer with the real Halos.
Just ordered one! Can't wait to see the results and hope they are as good as yours!
SO glad you did this and would love to see you do more wig pieces. This seems like an awesome way to expand hairstyle possibilities. I just ordered a messy bun from Amazon and will let you know how it goes. Kat H, thank you for sharing your experience!
Hey Angie, I just received mine from another brand. The demos I’ve seen show putting a section of hair up before you put on your hair. The only hair you need to pull out is the hair around the string. On top and sides.
I love your channel! You’ve always stayed true yourself, awesome reviews, dependable & humble
your own real hair looks great anyway. love it long x
Makes your hair look much better
I use to have tape in extensions after a bad hair cut lol. It was sooo expensive and very high maintenance to maintain and return to reapply higher as my hair grew out. I like the thought of this. I think I'm going to look into! Thank you so much!! 🥰
They are very good for people who’s hair isn’t strong enough for extensions I’ve used them for years but they don’t last long when you wash them the hair eventually tangles and the elastic has snapped on two of them after a while but I still recommend them
It looked good but the itching isn’t great. I would wash & condition it to see if that fixed the itching. Off the subject but I have learned to sleep on my back! I haven’t seen any miracles yet, but it is a challenge and I am thrilled to finally got there as it isn’t easy. You are always a good sport Angie and we thank you for all you do for us. Thanks 😊
Wow, great colour match and it looked great, but yeah I could *feel* your itchiness!
It looks so natural and like someone suggested washing may help with the itching. I like it on you 😊
It looks very pretty on you and the color is perfect. I love the soft curls.
I have the Halo. It was awesome for me, even though I only wore it half a dozen times or so. I got it at the suggestion of a friend that managed upscale hair salons. I had recently developed alopecia areata (bald spots) as well as overall thinking. Since I didn’t have any bald spots on the top of my head, this type of extensions was a perfect choice. My biggest concern was that it would give me a headache because any pulling on my hair, such as even pinning my hair up, can trigger headaches or migraines. But to my happy surprise, it was super comfortable and did not trigger any headaches at all. Thankfully, all my hair has since grown back, so I haven’t felt the need to wear it for a while. But it is nice to have when I may want a little more “va-va-voom” to my style. 😁
