Halo vs Deluxe Halo vs Premium Halo Hair Extensions: What's the Difference?
Halo vs Deluxe Halo vs Premium Halo Hair Extensions: Which One Is Right for You?
If you've been exploring our collection of halo hair extensions and found yourself wondering what the difference is between the Halo, Deluxe Halo, and Premium Halo — you're not alone. It's one of our most frequently asked questions, and for good reason. All three styles share the same signature invisible wire technology and are made from 100% Indian Remy human hair, but they differ in weight, density, and the hair types they suit best.
In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know so you can choose the perfect halo hair extension for your hair type and lifestyle.
What Is a Halo Hair Extension?
A halo hair extension is a single weft of hair attached to an adjustable, clear monofilament wire. The wire sits on the crown of your head, hidden beneath your natural hair, requiring no clips, no tape, and no glue. The result is a seamless, natural-looking length and volume boost that can be fitted in under a minute.
All three of our halo styles — the Halo, Deluxe Halo, and Premium Halo — use this same core technology, making them the most beginner-friendly and damage-free extension method available. They also each come with a lifetime warranty on the wire, stitching, and elastic.
What They All Have in Common
Before diving into the differences, here's what the Halo, Deluxe Halo, and Premium Halo all share:
- 100% Indian Remy human hair
- Adjustable clear monofilament wire
- No clips, no tape, no glue — completely damage-free
- 9.5" halo lace width for full, natural coverage
- Lifetime warranty on wire, stitching, and elastic
- Available in 16" and 20" lengths
- Wide shade range including natural, mixed, and highlighted tones
- Can be heat styled, washed, and treated like your own hair
The Deluxe Halo: Perfect for Normal to Medium Hair
The Deluxe Halo is our mid-range halo extension, designed specifically for those with normal to medium thickness natural hair. It offers a generous weight that adds beautiful length and volume without overwhelming finer hair types.
Deluxe Halo Key Specs:
- Weight: 140g (16") / 160g (20")
- Best for: Normal to medium hair thickness
- Starting from: £148.75
The Deluxe Halo is ideal if your hair sits in the "average" category — not particularly fine, but not especially thick either. The 140g–160g weight range blends seamlessly with medium hair, giving you that lush, full finish without looking overdone.
The Premium Halo: Designed for Thicker Hair
The Premium Halo is our highest-density halo weft, crafted for those with thicker, fuller natural hair. With a higher gram weight across both length options, it's designed to match the volume of thicker hair so the extension blends naturally rather than sitting on top.
Premium Halo Key Specs:
- Weight: 180g (16") / 200g (20")
- Best for: Thicker hair types
- Starting from: £174.25
If you have naturally thick or dense hair and have previously found halo extensions look too thin against your hair, the Premium Halo is the solution. The extra density ensures a consistent, natural blend from root to tip.

How to Choose Between the Deluxe Halo and Premium Halo
Choosing between the two is straightforward once you know your hair type:
- Choose the Deluxe Halo if your natural hair is normal or medium in thickness. The 140g–160g weight will blend beautifully and look completely natural.
- Choose the Premium Halo if your natural hair is thick or dense. The 180g–200g weight will match your hair's natural volume so the extension doesn't look flat or sparse by comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I heat style my Halo hair extensions?
Yes. All of our halo extensions are made from 100% human Remy hair, meaning they can be blow-dried, curled, and straightened just like your natural hair. We recommend using a heat protectant to maintain the longevity of the hair.
How long do halo hair extensions last?
With proper care, halo hair extensions can last 12 months or longer. The wire, stitching, and elastic are covered by a lifetime warranty.
Are halo extensions damaging to natural hair?
No. Because halo extensions use no clips, tape, or glue, there is no attachment point on your natural hair. They are widely considered the most damage-free extension method available.
What's the difference between a halo and clip-in extensions?
Clip-in extensions are individual wefts clipped into sections of hair throughout the head. A halo extension is a single weft on a wire that sits at the crown — quicker to fit, easier to remove, and completely damage-free. We also offer the Deluxe Head Clip-In and Premium Head Clip-In for those who prefer the clip-in method.
Do halo extensions work with fine hair?
The Deluxe Halo is best suited to normal to medium hair. If your hair is very fine, we recommend booking a free colour match consultation so we can advise the best option for your hair type and goals.

Whether the Deluxe Halo or the Premium Halo is right for you, both deliver the same luxurious, damage-free length and volume that Halo Hair Extensions is known for. The key is matching the weight and density to your natural hair for the most seamless, natural-looking result.
