Hair toppers for women with thinning hair add coverage, fullness, and volume in a way that’s easy to put on and take off. They’re also less damaging than extensions and can hide thinning spots in the crown area that are difficult for hairstyling techniques or even wigs to cover.
Sometimes referred to as “push-up bras for your hair,” toppers come in various sizes and styles that match your natural hair color to conceal thinning hair and bald spots.
Coverage
Toppers are a lifesaver for many women who struggle with early hair loss. They do a fantastic job concealing sparse areas, especially around the part line, bang area and even at the temples. They are less damaging than extensions and can be easily styled into ponytails, braids or updos.
When selecting the right hair topper, it is important to consider the thickness of your client’s natural strands and their color and density. We recommend referring to our global hair density chart that shows the best matches for various natural colors and hair density.
The next big consideration is the type of base to choose. We suggest selecting a monofilament base if your client has more visible thinning around the part area. These bases have an ultra-fine mesh on which each strand of human hair is hand-tied for a natural-looking finish. These can also be dyed to match your client’s natural hair color. They also offer a more seamless blend than synthetic hair toppers.
Fullness
Hair toppers for women create the illusion of fuller, more dense natural hair. They provide fullness for thinning hair at all stages of loss, especially at the crown and top of the head. They also add volume to thin hair and help to hide bald patches that are not easily covered with hair extensions or hairstyles.
Hair Toppers are designed to blend with your natural strands and are made of synthetic or premium human hair. They are smaller and lighter than a women’s wig and, when cared for properly, can last up to a year.
Choosing the right color is the first step in ensuring your topper looks natural. Your alternative hair specialist can help you select a color that seamlessly matches your strands and provides the best blending result. They are then attached to your existing hair using pressure-sensitive clips. Some users prefer to tease the crown of their hair or use a root lifter before attaching a topper to give it more structure and support. Then, they can comb or brush it into place and style it as desired.
Convenience
Hair Toppers are a great option to add volume to your crown area and conceal any thinning areas of the head. They’re also good for highlighting your bang or part area with a cute updo. These pieces have a lace front to help blend into your natural hairline, and they come in different sizes to suit every person. They can also be paired with micro-fusion or tape-in extensions for even more volume and a seamless look.
Hair toppers are crafted from either Remy or non-Remy human hair, with the cuticles facing in the same direction for less tangling and matting. They can also be washed with sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain their condition.
When applying a hair topper, you can attach pressure snap clips or bonding adhesive to your scalp. When clipping in your topper, be gentle and not put too much pressure on your natural hair – this can cause damage or breakage. Also, make sure that your topper is long enough to cover the thinning area you want to hide and extends over fuller, healthier hair so that it’s not putting undue stress on your natural strands.
Aesthetics
If you are struggling with hair loss slowly, causing your natural strands to thin, a quality topper can be a wonderful solution. A topper will blend seamlessly into your hairline and crown area, giving you fuller, thicker strands that can be styled with any hairstyle. They are easy to use and require little maintenance compared to other wigs, but they should be used sparingly as overuse can cause stress on your hair and cause thinning.
When purchasing a hair topper, you must select the right base type. Hair toppers with monofilament bases mimic the look of natural hair growth from the scalp, blending seamlessly with your biological strands and making them easier to style.
Next, choose the color that matches your natural strands. Finally, you’ll want to tease and align your topper hairpiece into place before attaching the pressure snap clips. Remember to be gentle when removing and replacing your topper, as excessive tugging or pulling can damage your natural hair. This is why using a high-quality topper designed for comfort and ease of use is important.
Flexibility
Women with thin hair can use a hair topper to add density and coverage to sparse areas, especially around the part line, bang area, and temples. Hair toppers are a great alternative to hair extensions and are less damaging to your hair.
You can style a hair topper as you wish, and it will blend naturally into your natural hair. Women with thin hair can also wear a hair topper without shaving their heads, which would be impossible with a wig.
Hair toppers complement your natural hair and can be worn in various ways, from straight to curly and center-parted. They can be worn as a temporary solution, for a special occasion, or regularly to boost your hair’s volume and fullness. You can purchase a topper made with synthetic or human hair, depending on your needs and preferences. Synthetic toppers are usually more affordable but may look less realistic. Human hair toppers will blend more seamlessly with your natural hair and can be straightened or blown dry.
