Hair loss always hurts! What kind of wigs should I buy? What is a topper exactly? If you are new to the wig world, having no ideas about hair toppers, halos, and other wig stuffs Then I guess you’re lucky to be here, I’m here to share some useful tips and answers of the most asked questions.
Firstly let’s make the what a hair topper is clear! What is a hair topper? Literally it’s a hairpiece, we can call it half wig which placed on the top of our heads to cover hair loss areas. Clips are usually used to place them. Also, toppers or hairpieces can usually work semi-permanently, they’re smaller pieces of alternative hair then a wig is. They can specifically work for the area of thin hair by adding volume. A great hair topper will definitely transform your look instantly!
Tip#1 Choose the right type&lace
Please note: Synthetic hair usually can’t be customized to your own hair color&most shiny.
The laces of the toppers can differ from one by one. Let me introduce several most common types. First comes heat defiant hair or you can call it heat-friendly hair. It can be styled with heat like curling irons. The type literally looks very natural! Then synthetic hair fiber is also quite common along the wig users. It is heat defiant too but it is not heat resistant, which means you can roll it on rollers or use a low heat hot air brusher. Human hair lace is the most natural type of all! It can be treated like your own hair. But the cons can be lacking breath ability compared to synthetic type. Also, it costs more than the synthetic hair fiber. The last type I’m gonna tell is human & synthetic blend hair. Please be quite careful with this option since applying heat may cause the synthetic to freeze. Most importantly, make sure you have read the guide book before you have done anything to your topper!
Tip#2 Choose a light density
Density of the topper is measured based on the base of topper and the grams of hair that it has. If you are the new to it, I will advise to try the light density firstly. It will make your look more natural and yourself will also feel more comfortable wearing it.
Tip#3 Measure the right size
Please prepare a tape measure first, then we can measure the area that you want to cover. Doing it from left to right and front to back on the top of your head. Keep this in mind that allow for an extra inch for attaching the clips to your natural hair.
Tip#4 Color decision
What color of toppers should I buy? Please pick the closest color to your bio hair. You can’t go wrong with this principle!
