Is It Safe to Go Swimming While Wearing My Halo?Updated 15 hours ago

While your ThatHair Halo Set is designed to be durable and easy to wear, we do not recommend swimming while wearing your Halo extensions.

Water activities such as swimming in pools, oceans, or lakes can affect how the Halo sits on your head and may impact the condition of the fibers.

For the best experience and longest lifespan of your extensions, it's recommended to remove your Halo before entering the water.

Why Swimming Is Not Recommended

Halo extensions are designed to sit comfortably on your head using a clear wire and the support of your natural hair. Because they are not permanently attached, certain conditions in water can affect how they perform.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

The Halo May Shift in Water

When submerged in water, hair becomes heavier and moves freely. This movement can cause the Halo to shift, lift, or float slightly, since it is designed to be removable rather than permanently secured.

This can make the extensions feel unstable and may affect how they blend with your natural hair.

Chlorine and Saltwater Can Dry the Fibers

Pools and ocean water contain substances that can be harsh on hair fibers.

• Chlorine in swimming pools can dry out extensions and affect their softness
• Saltwater can cause dryness and tangling over time

Because ThatHair Halo Sets use high-quality Kanekalon® fibers, exposure to these elements may reduce the smooth appearance of the hair.

Water Can Increase Tangling

When hair extensions move freely in water, they can rub against each other and your natural hair.

This can lead to knots and tangling, especially with longer extensions.

Wet synthetic fibers are also more difficult to brush and detangle, which can make post-swim care more challenging.

For the best care and longevity of your Halo extensions:

• Remove your Halo before swimming
• Store it safely while you enjoy the water
• Put it back on once your hair is dry and styled

Because Halo extensions are designed for quick removal and reapplication, taking them off before swimming only takes a moment and helps keep them looking their best.

Key Takeaways

• Swimming with Halo extensions is not recommended
• Water can cause the Halo to shift or move
• Chlorine and saltwater may dry the fibers
• Removing your Halo before swimming helps protect the extensions and extend their lifespan
