All About Hair Band Extensions

If you’re shopping for hair extensions, there are various types of styles you have to choose from. The one you decide on should best suit your lifestyle and hair goals. Are you looking for temporary or semi-permanent extensions? Do you want a style that you can do at home or have applied at the salon? When you’re looking for a temporary one-piece hair extension set that’s great for DIY baddies, hair band extensions are the way to go! 

Keep it simple with an uncomplicated hair glow-up using hair band extensions, also often referred to as halo hair extensions. We’ll cover everything you need to know about these extensions to add volume and length to your locks. 

What are Hair Band Extensions? 

Hair band extensions, aka halo extensions, feature multiple layers of hair attached to a weft band. Rather than attaching to individual strands of hair, the single band rests tightly against your scalp. Hair band extensions are worn on your head similar to a headband (or like a halo when thinking of halo hair extensions.)  

These hair extensions have a clear, thin, fishing line hair extension band that sits on the crown of your head. Then to firmly hold the extensions in place, there are clips on the wefts to secure them into your hair. The hair extension band is hidden under your natural hair to blend the hair band extensions flawlessly.  

Still not sure if hair band extensions are for you? There are some factors you’ll want to know about before deciding!  

Are Hair Band Extensions Right for Me? 

Hair band extensions work best for anyone who wants a budget-friendly low-maintenance option compared to other styles you can get at a salon. These hair extensions don’t cause damage to your hair, so they’re great for anyone concerned about their natural hair getting affected in the process. If you want a versatile hair extension option that you can apply at home, hair band extensions will be your perfect match. It’s a huge plus if you have layered hair—if you do, these will blend into your natural hair seamlessly.

How Do You Apply Hair Band Extensions? 

The best part about hair band extensions is how easy they are to apply yourself at home. Whether you’re heading out with friends or on date night, hair band extensions fit into your busy schedule for a quick hair makeover whenever you want! No need to make a salon appointment or any commitments with these easy on-and-off extensions.  

Here’s how to apply hair band extensions at home: 

• Prep Your Hair: Gently brush your natural hair and the extensions to detangle your strands. It’s essential to use a brush that won’t damage your hair extensions (check out our list of the best hair brushes for extensions!) Using the proper brush helps prevent hair breakage and keeps your hair band extensions tangle-free.  

• Section Your Hair: Section off your hair at the crown of your head and tie it up into a bun at the top of your head. Leave out one-inch front piece sections of hair to frame your face. 

• Apply the Hair Extensions: Stretch the hair extension band over the bun so that the band is about one inch behind your hairline. Use the clips on the weft on either side of your head. Let your hair down over the hair band extensions and brush out to blend. 

Once you apply your hair band extensions, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try them sooner! For best results, find the best quality extensions you can find. That will make all the difference in how well your hair turns out. We’ve got a feeling our hair band extensions won’t disappoint!
