We got feedback recently like that:
“I’ve been wearing toppers for two years now, and this is my current and absolute favorite, Melanie in chocolate caramel! She is the 20”, but is probably closer to 17 or 18 as I had her trimmed.
I have a question I am hoping someone can help with: I wear my topper every day, so I have small almost bald patches where the clips go. I totally accept this as part of the whole picture. However, those spots get very dry and irritated! Almost like a baby getting cradle cap. Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions on how to treat it best?” -from one of our customers.
For sensitive scalp, if we place the clips in the same place every day, that would be caused that problem. So here’re some suggestions
Way to pull it off
Loose your hair from the clips one by one will cause baldness. Because when you open one clip and loose the hair, the other clips on your head will be stretched. So it’s better to open all clips when you are ready to take off your hair topper. Please take note of the turn you open the clips. Usually, we suggest to loose the back clips, then loose the side clips, the last ones are the front clips. Let the hair smoothly slides from the combs of the clips.
Wear a topper with a top grip
It’s getting more popular to wear a wig grip with a wig recently. So there’re also have top grip for hair toppers. UniWigs will have that top grips soon. If you want to use it urgently, just google and purchase from other vendors firstly.
The method of applying the top grip is similar to the wig grip. If you use top grips, you don’t have to clip the topper on your hair. Just apply the top grip on your head, then clip the topper on the wig grip. The top grip is usually made of velvet or other comfortable materials, that would be much more skin-friendly.
Buy a wig
For the new users, it’s not easy to handle the top grip and you would feel it’s not working for you. If you have a very sensitive scalp, wearing a wig is not a bad choice.
It helps to give your scalp a break if it is sensitive.
Use G2B
If you have a spot area, especially the thinning hairline, we suggest using glue the hair topper with a lace front. (You can purchase G2B at UniWigs) . By using the G2B glued the lace down to aid in better hold and to take the pressure off of the clips sites. Since we suggest customers use this way to lay down their hair topper on their heads, some of our customers said they can no longer wear their topper without the G2B glued and they never have to worry about it staying put-even on roller coasters.
To buy a topper with fewer clips
For some customers who like hair toppers, they insist to wear hair toppers instead of wigs for daily life. Except for the top grip, we designed a new hair topper base as below:
There’re five clips on the hair topper originally. Now it’s only 2 small clips, 2 combs, and a silicone strap. Most customers who choose the 10”x10” base sizes are with advanced hair loss. The comb will be more comfortable and sensitive to the scalp. Silicon strap fits around our head for extra security and will lay the front lace flat.
