I'll help you choose

In this video I show you how to put it on so it looks more natural.

Some people touch up their roots or use hair fibres along the front.

VERY IMPORTANT: When your topper first arrives, most women have the same reaction of initial disappointment. This is normal for two reasons:

1. Because you've never seen yourself with so much hair, and your mind rejects the idea and tricks you into thinking it doesn't look natural. Funnily enough, you start asking other people and they'll tell you it's not true, that it looks amazing on you. Don't trust your own judgement at first. Your mind is playing tricks on you. It happened to me and it happens to everyone. But they end up loving their gorgeous new hair.

2. Because the topper has no style. It has also been flattened and stored. It's a standard piece with no shape. It's essential to take it to a stylist and have it cut exactly the way you'd like your hair to look.

Almost every woman can wear a topper. You just need some of your own hair for the clips to grip onto.

It's an ideal option for women with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia or hair loss on the top of the head.

It adds just the right amount of density and coverage.

Perfect for women who want to hide hair loss on the crown, or simply add more volume.

This is VERY IMPORTANT.

It's common to be afraid of the transition. But I found that these fears are really unfounded. How am I going to go from having no hair to having a full head of hair?!

It's very easy. At home they'll get used to you going with and without your topper straight away. People around you will NOT notice, and will simply say “I love your new haircut”. At most, some will wonder what you've done?

And even if they did notice, what's the problem? Do they notice when I wear heels? Do they notice when I wear makeup? Same thing. It doesn't matter. This is about image, about feeling good about yourself. I'm happier.

In hot weather, both the temperature and our activities change. Generally we're at home in shorts and comfortable, and when we go out we feel hotter.

Obviously, having more hair will make you warmer than not having it. But not much more than a woman with her own long hair. In fact, I feel more heat on my neck from the length than on my head from the topper base.

The difference is that before, with short, thin hair, you probably didn't feel that heat.

It's not a big problem or anything unbearable.

There are 2 types of base: Mono and Silk.

In both cases the hair is injected to give a natural look, and there are clips around the edge to hold it in place.

• MONO: This base is lighter and more breathable, but not as natural.
  
• SILK: This base is heavier but has a scalp effect that makes it more realistic.
  
  Some SILK pieces (those with a larger base) also have a wefted section that makes them much more comfortable to wear, especially with advanced hair loss.

With both types of base you can make a parting and style it exactly as you would your own hair.

• BASE: The topper base is measured in inches and has nothing to do with the size of your head, but with the area you want to cover. If your hair loss is advanced, you'll need a piece that covers your whole head. For example 7″ x 8″. Measure the whole area you want to cover on your head, both length and width, and add 1 more inch.
• LENGTH: The length depends on the length of your own hair and what you want to achieve.
  For example, if you have short or shoulder-length hair, a length of 16 inches (40 cm) is enough.
• DENSITY: If you want the topper to cover all your hair, choose a high density. If you can blend it with your own hair, choose a medium density. It all depends on how advanced your hair loss is.

COLOUR: If your hair is natural black it will be easy, because there won't be any noticeable colour mismatch.

But in general, blending a topper with your own hair is very easy, much easier than with hair extensions. Nobody has hair in a single colour, and it's usually very easy to match the tones of your hair.

You can also give it a colour gloss if you like, always going darker rather than lighter. It's 100% natural hair and you can do the same with it as you would with your own hair.

• QUALITY: It's thick, strong hair. The ends are even. It's 100% natural hair with cuticle and lasts 1 to 3 years depending on care.
  
• DENSITY: Topper density ranges from 100% to 130%.
  
  High-density ones have a weft that covers all your hair.
  
  With medium-density ones you'll need to blend them with your own hair. Smaller bases (up to 5 inches) usually have medium density and larger bases (over 6 inches) usually have high density.
  
  Either way, it's always better to thin it out and remove volume if you want less than to end up with too little hair.

You wash it every 1 or 2 months, and it's really easy. Topper hair gets dirty much less than your own hair, because it has no roots adding oil and it doesn't touch your scalp directly, so it hardly gets any sweat on it.

You can use the bathroom sink, or a basin or bowl of water, and start by spraying shampoo and water from the ends.

Rub and wash the hair, avoiding getting shampoo on the cap area as much as possible.

Rinse carefully under the tap and leave to air dry on a plastic hairpiece stand.

Brush from the bottom up and leave it in the sun to avoid dampness.

Run a straightener over it and it will look as good as new.

Enjoy your clean topper.

In this video tutorial you can see how to wash it.

Before, I had to wear a hat, especially when I used hair fibres, to stop my scalp from getting stained.

But with the topper it's really easier, because if it gets a little wet it dries naturally just like my own hair.

In this video you'll see how easy it is.
