Short answer: yes, you can wear a Signature Syn Halo all winter. The wire sits under your own hair, so hats, scarves and coats work well with it, as long as you take them on and off gently and look after your hair against static and tangles.

Can you wear a halo under a hat?

Yes. Because a halo is a hidden wire that sits under your own hair, there is nothing fixed to your hair for a hat to catch on. A few simple habits help:

• Choose a loose hat. A beanie or hat that is not too tight is easier on both your own hair and the wire.
• Take it off slowly. Lift the hat straight up rather than dragging it back, so the halo is not pulled out of place.
• Check the wire afterwards. Gently lift your top layer and make sure the wire still sits flat, then smooth your hair back over it.

Scarves, collars and winter coats

Long hair and big collars rub against each other all day, which causes tangles at the ends. To reduce this:

• Lift your hair out and over the top of your scarf or collar, rather than tucking it under.
• Wear it in a loose low ponytail or plait when you are wearing a bulky scarf.
• Brush from the ends upwards when you get home.

Static in cold, dry weather

Cold air and central heating dry out hair, which can make it static. Some simple ideas:

• Use a light anti-static or conditioning spray on the lengths, away from the wire.
• Brush gently with a soft paddle or loop brush, not a hard plastic comb.
• Keep your own hair well conditioned, as dry hair is more likely to fly away.

Rain and wet weather

If your halo gets wet, let it air dry naturally before brushing. Avoid brushing it while very wet, as wet synthetic hair tangles more easily.

Style ideas for winter

• Low plait: keeps long hair neat under a coat.
• Soft waves: the pre-styled Wavy Single Pack gives movement without a curling wand.
• Sleek and straight: the Straight Single Pack is a smooth, polished option for work.

Storing your halo in winter

Keep your halo away from radiators and other direct heat. Hang it on a hanger when you are not wearing it. Our Style & Store hanger set is handy for this.

Frequently asked questions

Will a hat flatten my halo?

It can press the hair down for a while. Brush gently through the lengths when you take the hat off.

Can I wear a halo with a hood?

Yes. Lift your hair out over the hood and take the hood down slowly so the wire stays in place.

Can I use heat on it in winter?

Our Kanekalon synthetic fibre is heat-friendly up to 180°C. We recommend using a heat protector.

Do I need glue or tape?

No. The halo wire sits under your own hair, so no glue or tape is needed.
