Hexagonal barium ferrite ($BaFe_{12}O_{19}$) nano-particles have been successfully synthesised using selfassembly method. Diethyleneamine (DEA) surfactant was used to fabricate the micelle structure of Ba-DEA complex under various DEA concentrations. $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ powders were synthesized with addition Fe ions to Ba-DEA complex and then heat treated at temperature range of 800-1000${circ}C$. The molar ratio of Ba/DEA and heat-treatment temperature significantly affected the magnetic properties and morphology of $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ powders. $BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ powders synthesized with Ba/DEA molar ratio of 1 and heat-treated at 1000${circ}C$ for 1 hour showed the coercive forces (iHc) of 4.84 kOe with average crystal size of about 200 nm.
