There are many advantages to hair toppers: They are great for covering areas of thinning hair and concealing hair loss. Depending on the style, hair toppers also can provide more coverage to the front, crown, or the entire head. They can give your hair more volume. They are easy to apply and do not require much styling. Hair toppers even come in all fiber types and hair lengths.
Hair toppers are a great solution if you’re looking to get more voluminous hair or conceal hair loss/thinning hair. Hair toppers can come in a wide range of hair fibers, styles, lengths, and bases. Here are a five things you should know before buying a hair topper:
Choosing the fiber / texture
Choosing a fiber / texture - You’ll need to choose a hair texture and fiber that closely resembles your bio hair for a more seamless blend. Fiber selection is determined by your budget and whether you want to style the hair topper.
Selecting the base material
Selecting the Base Material that Suits Your Preference - The base of the hair topper is the part that touches your scalp and has the hair attached to. Bases can be made with different materials (monofilament, lace, wefted, etc.) with each one having their own advantage in terms of realism, comfort, and breathability.
Picking the right size
Picking the Right Size - Hair toppers can come in a variety of sizes and coverage areas. It’s important that you measure the area your hair topper will attach to in order to determine the right size.
Choosing hair color
Choosing Hair Color - When picking out a hair topper, try to find one that matches your natural hair color as closely as possible. It’s okay if the fiber is slightly lighter or darker because the hair topper will still be able to blend in with your bio hair. Plus, the slight color variance will help add dimension.
Selecting the right hair length
Selecting the Right Hair Length - Hair toppers come in different lengths and styles. We recommend that you choose a hair topper with a length that’s similar to your bio hair.
Hair toppers are a great option for women with thinning hair as it instantly conceals and covers specific areas on the top of the scalp that are thinning or partially balding. Do hair toppers cause hair loss? Do hair toppers damage your hair? Are hair toppers secure? With hair toppers in particular, it is best to choose a color that is closest to your natural hair color given that they only cover part of your hair. Similar to a wig or toupee or hairpiece, you can use glue or tape to attach your hair topper on your hair loss area whether it is a thinning crown or the top of your head.
Do I use tape or glue to attach hair toppers? How do I attach a hair topper with clips? Simply open the clips, apply the hair topper on the area where you are thinning or balding and clip them on to your natural hair. How do you secure a hair topper without clips? You can use glue or tape to attach your hair topper if you prefer not to use clips as they can be bulky if not attached or blended properly.
Rinse and then submerge the hair topper in a large bowl or sink with cold or lukewarm water mixed with wig shampoo. Leave it to soak for at least five minutes. Turn the base inside out and soak for another five minutes. Drain the water and/or rinse the hair topper again before applying wig conditioner from the ends of the hair and work your way up. Make sure not to touch the base as it can be damaged. Rinse the hair topper with cold water and dry off with a towel.
As far as caring and maintaining the hair topper is concerned, make sure to clean it at least every other week if not once a week. If you’re not using your hair topper, take it off and store it on a stand or mannequin, but make sure to avoid exposure to sunlight.
This depends on your needs and lifestyle. A hair topper is more suitable for you if you have thinning or balding hair only in certain areas such as the crown of the head or if you want to add more density and volume to your hair in general.
Are hair toppers more comfortable than wigs? Hair toppers are more comfortable than wigs simply because they only cover certain areas of the scalp compared to a wig which covers the full scalp.

Hot ironing or using any heat styling tool on your human hair topper should be fine as it is virtually the same as using it on real human hair. Some caution is still advised as just like with natural human hair, too much heat can cause the hair to dry out, frizz and become damaged before eventually shedding.
