Thank you to EVERYONE who has left a review. I have a pixi hair cut and my dream is to have LONG hair. I get TONS of compliments on my hair style now and it is adorable but just gave always wanted LONG hair. I was going to buy these extensions because I saw Kelly Ripa wears them and with that, how can you go wrong, but with all these reviews, I would be a fool to buy these. I'm Soo THANKFUL honest people take the time to leave a review to help others out. You would think when a company gets soo much NEGATIVITY they would fo a ome thing to IMPROVE their product and customer service but, I guess not.

Never again!
I have purchased the 4/613 topper and a matching extension. I must say that at first I was so excited because it came so quickly...until I opened the box! The topper I got was way lighter than it appeared (4 with 613 hightlights) or should have been (I think they use too much blonde highlights), the ends were very frizzy looking, the knots were sooooo noticeable and it wouldn’t sit flat on my head no matter what I did. However the halo hair was amazing quality all the way through to the ends but I couldn’t wear it bc my hair is so thin and fine it is very noticeable especially when it cuts into my scalp. That being said, I emailed the company about the topper and Bonnie replied and was so rude. I continued to ask for a customer service number but there wasn’t one and she refused to call me; she said they only reply through email. Ok, so I figured maybe I got a “lemon” topper but of course couldn’t return it so it sat for months until one day I just decided I was going to make it work bc I wasn’t throwing the money I spent away(and they were much cheaper then). I had to use powder and makeup to cover those knots after much research on how to fix it. I took a lot of time (days) but I got it to work but it definitely wasn’t a go to everyday piece. So fast forward and I was about to get married, so I ordered their new layered halo because I needed more hair for my wedding and was pleased with the first halo quality even though I couldn’t wear it daily wear bc it hurt so much from digging into my scalp. Well I decided to order another topper thinking that maybe it was the color I ordered or just a fluke that the knots were terrible or maybe even after a few years, they improved the product. They do have higher quality hair and the price had gone up quite a bit but still cheaper than some. Well...stupid me not learning the first time. 3 years(maybe 4) and they still haven’t tried to improve their product...still the same knots. Their base is the worst base I’ve ever purchased and it’s such a shame bc their hair is of higher quality but there are much better silk bases they could use to fix the problem and make the scalp look real and get it to lie flat on the head.

Nice but difficult to fit properly
Nice, high quality hair. Colour the company matched me with was way off. Make sure to be careful before removing any plastic!!! I had removed plastic and was unable to return them. Had to pay for professional dye job to get them matched. Adjusting wire was quite difficult, bead became stuck and it broke on the first try. They do give you two sets to re wire which is good because it is easy to fit them poorly. I don’t think I fitted them right (even after watching countless videos on how to fit them). I find them very painful, they dig into my scalp and give me a headache can only wear them for two hours. I hear this can be because I didn’t fit them right so fingers crossed... will have to re wire them again. Bought for my wedding ($450 CA) and wasn’t able to stand the pain so I couldn’t wear them. The hidden crown type is a lotttt of hair I would go for the day dream if I had a second chance. Hopefully I can get a better fit so they are comfortable otherwise would NOT recommend. Also I’m suspicious of all the raving reviews from girls on YouTube, this is the first site I’ve seen similar experiences to mine.

Don't believe the hype because after you open that box you're screwed.
Though there were no problems with my purchase and it was shipped quickly, I am rather disappointed with this topper. I did some shopping around before deciding to spend $450 + $12.99 shipping. Out of the box, the hair felt soft and alright but, when I saw the cap...my god the horror!! It looks faker than a $15 wig and sits funny on your head, bulky and uneven. It simply does not respond to the dampening, setting and drying into place instructions. Now I know why there are no photos of the cap construction up close. There is no way I could get away with wearing this thing without a headband or pinning back some of my own bangs to cover that fake looking scalp/root part and keep down the bulk. Why don't they use a silk top? Or a more realistic type of lace material? I had purchased a $63 topper from China at eBay prior to this one and it had a very realistic looking scalp/part but only a few strands of hair attached to it, that's when I decided to invest in a good quality one. Unfortunately, Hidden Crown is NOT it. It is just hype, this piece is definitely not worth $450.00. I am now suspicious of all these women raving about their topper on you tube. Either they're somehow affiliated with the company or really, they just don't know what a good top piece should look like. I did not even try to return it, just read their return policy and basically what they are saying is: once you open this box you are screwed. You cannot remove it from packaging, let alone try it on. If you do, you are stuck with it. No returns based on your satisfaction with their product. Buyer beware!

I usually don't write reviews but I…
I usually don't write reviews but I wish I had known this before I purchased it again. I bought hidden crown extensions 60/8p about 2 years ago and was really impressed with them. It was great quality, held up well and lasted me a long time. This time I purchased them, the same color, just the daydream instead of the regular, and immediately noticed it was not he same quality, It looked and felt like fake barbie hair. It also did not hold curl as well as the first time I purchased and I found that I had to curl it every time I wanted to wear it because it went flat. I never had to do that with the first extensions I bought. To top it off, I washed them the same exact way I washed extensions in the past and they are now completely ruined. They are a fried, frizzy mess and I am so upset. No only were these extensions much more expensive than when I bought them two years ago, but much worse quality. Will never be buying again.

Looks Like a Ball-cap
The hair quality looks like it will hold up. I ordered both a topper and the halo. I have very fine hair.
My issue is with the topper. It doesn't have a lace front, so there are no baby hairs to make it look natural. The 'cap' doesn't fit to your head properly. There are large gaps between the topper and your real skull/head. You would need to add several more clips to try to hold it down to look natural.
It shifts around. The clips are not conducive for people with very fine hair. They are too large. I wear many toppers and have tried several brands/products of varied price over the years. My last topper (closure) for 50 dollars fits much better than this, unfortunately. You can see the seem of the topper. I have taken a picture of it and it looks ridiculous.
This was an 800 dollar purchase for me to use daily and unfortunately it looks like costume hair. Maybe this particular top piece was defective? And they are not all like this? I'm sadly disappointed.
