What extensions are best for damaged hair?

When looking for the best hair extensions for damaged hair, certain types are recommended due to their gentle application methods and minimal impact on your natural hair. Here are the top choices:

1. Halo Extensions

• Description: Halo extensions are non-invasive and sit on the crown of the head, secured with a thin wire and clips.
• Benefits: They do not require adhesives, beads, or clips that can tug on your hair, making them ideal for damaged hair. They provide volume and length without causing additional stress to your natural strands
