If you’re someone who is wildly overwhelmed by the idea of getting hair extensions but want a little something else to bring thickness to fine hair, shoppers are going wild over this brand’s extensions.
In fact, one hailed them ‘life-changing’.
There’s no doubt that hair extensions can be a little high maintenance, whether they’re sewn in, glued in, or bonded to the hair.
There can also be some pretty unpleasant long-term effects with some methods, such as thinning hair and an irritated scalp.
Australian company Sitting Pretty is a game-changer when it comes to easy extensions, though, with its ‘hair halo’ that’s got people raving.
According to the brand, the ‘halo’ is an easy-to-apply hair extension that aims to seamlessly blend in with natural hair, giving length and/or volume with minimal fuss. It comes in a range of colours and thicknesses you can check out here.
And once you get it trimmed to your hair (yes, there is an initial level of faff, we can see, with it encouraged you get it trimmed to match your hair by a hairdresser…) it really is as simple as popping it over your head, like a halo, and pulling a section of your hair over the top.
Co-founder Taryn says of the product: ‘Like most girls, I had a love-hate relationship with hair extensions. I loved how they made my hair look but I hated what they did to my real hair.
‘I tried everything but one compromise after another left me tired, frustrated and with my real hair even worse than when I started.
‘I saw other girls trying to figure it out too. So with my partner in crime and co-founder Logan, we decided to try and find a way to solve thin hair problems, and give all girls the chance to kick bad hair days to the old profile picture pile, and go straight to the hair they’ve always wanted.
‘With something that was easy, healthy, and above all, looked Beyoncé-level good.’
But what do the reviews say?
While arguably there is a margin of error here, especially if you don’t get the extensions trimmed to fit your hair, the consensus is pretty positive.
‘I walked into work and two of the guys were like “omg your hair looks really good today” and Jon said “look at your pretty golden locks” he said they were very striking. Very happy,’ said one happy shopper.
While another commented: ‘I wore it out this weekend and had so many comments on how great it looks. It still takes a bit of getting used to, having something sitting on your head, but it’s hidden so nobody else can tell. Very happy with it!’
A third shared the profound effect the extensions had on her confidence, writing: ‘May sound dramatic calling a Halo life changing but it really is. The confidence I now have with my thicker hair is amazing. It’s really bulked up my thinning hair and no one ever knows it’s not mine as the blend is amazing ! It’s comfortable and so easy to put on and wear! I love love love mine… in fact I have 2 now!!’
To celebrate their entry into the UK market, Sitting Pretty is offering an exclusive deal of free shipping on all halo purchases to UK customers.
You can pick from fine, medium or thick extensions, depending on your desired look and how thick your natural hair is, with the brand using ‘100% ProGrade Remy human hair’ in its products.
