Halo Hair Extensions - Review

Around 2 months ago I wrote this post about Halo Hair Extensions and I believe I've finally given them the test that they need in order to write a good enough, truthful review. 
Basically the hair extensions I received were these ones and as mentioned in the post above you receive 2 medium (6 inch) pieces which have 2 clips, 4 small (2 inch) pieces which have 1 clip and 2 big (8 inch) pieces which have 3 clips. 
I must admit that at first I struggled with using the clips but that was just me being an idiot. Instead of unclipping the clips, I was leaving them shut and then pushing them into my hair and hoping for the best - not the way to do it at all! If you are new to hair extensions then I highly recommend you using Halo's How To guide in order to save yourself from looking like an idiot - like I did! But yeah, once I knew how to use the extensions correctly, they were so easy to use! You literally unclip to clip, place it into your hair, clip the clip shut and there you go! These extensions are also very sturdy aswell and all the time I've been wearing them (college, nights out etc) they have not moved out of place.
As you can see in these pictures there is no length added onto my hair and that is because the extensions are the same length as my hair. This is because I chose the wrong sizing - oops! But in the end I'm glad that I did. This is because they look so natural and do exactly what I want from my hair - they add volume! Once these extensions are fully clipped in my hair is so big I LOVE IT! But for those of you who want to know what these extensions look like when adding length..
 
I used them on my mum! As you can see, the extensions are not the same colour as her hair and this is because her hair is a lot darker than mine. But you can see that the extensions blend incredibly well with her natural hair (minus the colouring). She also commented on how you cannot feel them once placed in the hair and how sturdy they are.

I have also washed these extensions a few times now and there has no fall out or loss of hair.

As for Halo as a brand? Well the website is incredible. There are lots of information on the products that you can buy as well as 'How To' videos like I mentioned earlier and tips. Also, if you're unsure on what colour/length to go for there is  a colour picker chart or alternatively you can ring up and ask for advice. 

Halo Extensions are extremely affordable and retail at just £39.99 for these ones in particular which are '16" Full Head Clip In Remy Human Hair in Light Brown #6.' But there are more expensive extensions and also cheaper ones.

If you require anymore information about these extensions or feel as though I've missed something out - please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll answer your question.

Has anyone else tried extensions before? Halo ones? Another brand?
