Synthetic vs Human Hair Halo Extensions: Whatβs the Difference?
Not sure whether to choose a synthetic or human hair Halo? The main difference is the hair material and styling flexibility. Halo Hair Extensionsβ synthetic Halos are made from Kanekalon fibres and come in ready-made Straight, Wavy and Curly styles. Our human hair Halos are made from 100% Indian Remy human hair and can be washed and restyled with suitable care.
Both ranges offer a choice of lengths and shades. The right option for you depends on the look you want, how you like to style your hair and which shade will blend best.

What is a synthetic Halo?
Our synthetic Halo is made from Kanekalon synthetic fibres. It is a great option if you want to choose your preferred finished style, whether that is straight hair, waves or curls, for an easy everyday transformation.
The synthetic range features elasticated wire support and four clips on the weft. Choose from 14-inch, 18-inch and 22-inch lengths, with 36 shades available to help you find a match.
If you already know the style you love and want a Halo in that look, start by exploring the synthetic range. Follow the care instructions for your specific Halo rather than treating synthetic fibres like human hair.
What is a human hair Halo?
Our human hair Halo range is made from 100% Indian Remy human hair. With suitable care, it can be washed and restyled, making it a good choice if versatility is important to you.
Choose from The Halo, The Deluxe Halo and The Premium Halo options to suit your hair. Available lengths are 12 inches, 14 inches, 16 inches, 20 inches and 24 inches, with 60 shades across the human hair range.

Which Halo should you choose?
Choose synthetic if you want a ready-made style
A synthetic Halo is worth considering if you want a Straight, Wavy or Curly option and prefer to choose your finished look from the start. Pick the length and shade that best complement your own hair.
Choose human hair if you want styling flexibility
A human hair Halo is worth considering if you want hair you can wash and restyle with suitable care. You also have a wider choice of shades and lengths across this range.
Neither range is automatically the right choice for everyone. The best match is the one that suits your hair, your preferred look and your care routine. If you are unsure which human hair option to choose, ask our team for advice before ordering.
