What are Human Hair Toppers?

A human hair topper is a hairpiece designed to be worn on the top/ crown area of the head to add volume and coverage. Individuals with thinning hair or bald spots typically use them. They are lightweight, easy to use, and excellent for adding volume to the top of your head by simply clipping into your hair.

It is typically made from real human hair, which allows for a more natural and realistic appearance. The topper is attached to the existing hair using clips or other methods, providing a seamless blend with the wearer's hair. It is a popular solution for people experiencing hair thinning or hair loss in the crown area. 

Human hair toppers come in different styles and sizes, lengths, colors, and thicknesses to match different hair types and preferences.

Why Hair Topper?

Hair Toppers are a great solution for women with hair thinning or hair loss on the crown and top of their head, but not only that, Hair Toppers are great for women that have fine or flat hair, because they give you much more hair volume and coverage on top.

Hair Toppers have been proven to work effectively for many individuals. They can provide coverage for thinning or balding areas, add volume, and create a more youthful appearance.

Hair Toppers are also versatile and can be styled just like natural hair, providing a realistic look.

Hair Toppers are the perfect alternative hair option for women with partial hair loss. Hair Toppers are not recommended for anyone with total hair loss since the coverage is not comparable to a Wig.

They can also be worn simply for additional volume, or length, or even to cover roots between salon visits. 

What are Hair Toppers made of?  

Hair Toppers are made from Monofilament, Lace, Skin, or a Silk Base. The base can vary in different sizes, they can be 1.3”x3”, 5”x5”, 10”x10”, and anywhere in between.

They also can come in different lengths, and different thicknesses as well. Hair toppers are usually hand-made. A Hair Topper usually takes about two weeks to make.

What is the difference between a Hair Topper and a Wig?

The main difference between a Hair Topper and a Wig is the area of coverage. A Wig covers the entire head, while a Hair Topper is specifically designed to cover the top of the head.

Hair Toppers blend seamlessly with the wearer's natural hair, providing a more natural and realistic appearance.
Wigs are designed to cover your whole head of hair. Your hair will be hidden under the cap and the Wigs hair will be on show.

This is different for Hair Toppers, which have a smaller base of hair that can clip onto an area of your head. Hair Toppers are excellent for covering hair thinning on the crown or the front area of your head.

Hair Toppers blend with your hair and look very natural because your hair is on show too. Therefore, it is important to get a Hair Topper with the same hair color as yours (unless it is a very large base size in which case the hair doesn't have to match perfectly) for perfect blending.

They are great for doing different hairstyles. When you wear a Hair Topper, they are light to wear and not as bulky as wigs.

How does a Hair Topper stay on your head? 

Hair Toppers stay on the head typically using various attachment methods. Some Hair Toppers come with clips or combs that can be secured to existing hair for stability.

Others may have adhesive strips, which provide a more secure and long-lasting hold. Additionally, some individuals prefer to use wig grip bands or other accessories to keep their Hair Toppers in place.
Some Hair Toppers also feature integration techniques, where the wearer's hair is pulled through the Hair Topper's base for added security.

Do Hair Toppers damage your hair?

When properly used and maintained, Hair Toppers do not cause damage to the wearer's natural hair. It's important to ensure that the Hair Topper fits well and is not too tight, as excessive tension or pulling can lead to hair breakage.

Additionally, it's important to follow proper cleaning and styling instructions to maintain the health of both the Hair Topper and natural hair.

How do I choose a Hair Topper for me?

It is important you know how much hair thinning and hair loss you have. Take a measuring tape and measure your hair loss area from front to back and side to side. Be sure to add an extra inch to each measurement, and then this will be the base size you need.

This is going to give you an idea of how big of a coverage you need and you're going to have an easier decision to make when it comes to choosing the base of your Hair Topper.

How do I style my Hair Topper?

Usually, if Human Hair toppers are styled into the same shape repeatedly, they develop memory and naturally fall into that style. The best way to style them is to put them on a mannequin head, spray them with water, comb them through, hair dry them into place, apply a heat-protecting spray, straighten them or curl them in the style you like, and then you can clip it on your head to style the way that you want.

How do I wash and care for my Hair Topper?

Your Hair Topper doesn't need to be washed as often as your hair. We recommend you wash your Hair Topper once every 2 weeks. You may think that is too long to go without washing your Hair Topper, but your Hair Topper doesn't need to be washed as often. This is because the Hair Topper doesn't collect oils from your scalp like your hair does, so it doesn't get greasy.

If you wash your Hair Topper as often as you wash your hair, it will dry your Hair Topper out and reduce longevity. For example, if you went on vacation, you wouldn't need to wash your Hair Topper until you got back, because it would have collected dust and different air pollutants in the air.

How long does a Human Hair Topper last?

The lifespan of a Human Hair Topper can vary depending on several factors, such as the quality of the hair, how well it is cared for, and how often it is worn.

On average, a high-quality Human Hair Topper can last anywhere from nine months to over two years with daily wear from a Lace Base if you take good care of it.

You can prolong the life of your Hair Topper by storing it in a box when you're not wearing it (which will prevent it from collecting dust) and also using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Sulfate-free products will protect the hair from drying out as it doesn't strip oils from the hair.

Using deep conditioners, leave-in conditioners, and serums regularly will help the hair to stay soft, as it is not being nourished by your scalp oils like your hair is.

You can expect 1-3 years from a Silk Base, depending on the quality of hair. The quality of the hair makes a huge impact on how long it will last. Lower-quality hair is often coated with silicone to make it look super shiny and gorgeous.
