Where do I start?

What is a Topper?

A Topper is a removable faux partline hairpiece that sits over your natural part. Toppers are amazing for hair that is thinning from the top that is too sparse for hair extensions. Toppers can be worn on their own or with a removable extension piece to create the look of a wig without wearing one. They are also a great option if you are wanting a colour or look change without the commitment or if you are wanting to give your hair a rest from regular colouring. 

We stock a range of toppers including, Mesh or Mono Cap, Closed Lace, Full lace & Silk Top. All these pieces come in a range of cap sizes, lengths and densities. Each piece has different benefits and will aid in different types of loss.

This is a Mesh or Mono Cap Topper, This one specifically is one of our mini's, which is a 3" x 5" cap. These are a fantastic starting point and amazing if you wear or would like to wear a removable fringe.

This is a Closed Lace Topper, if you are worried about blending this is your dream piece! Nothing will sit flatter or feel more lightweight than a closed lace piece. They come standard as an 8" x 8" cap and can be custom ordered in any length or density. 

 

This is a Silk Top Topper. They have a 4" x 4" Silk top parting that mimic a natural scalp. Silk pieces are the most durable but they are also the thickest construction. 

 

What hair do we use?

All our hair is all human, absolutely no synthetic here, which means it can be washed and styled without any fear of it melting. Remy means it is all cuticle correct so all the cuticles are in the same direction, if hair isn't Remy it acts like velcro and gets tangled and matted very easily, definitely not the ideal scenario. 

Our hair mainly European origin meaning it is sourced ethically from Europe and its bordering countries. 

It is caucasian hair which blends well with our hair as well as having a little bit of texture that holds style really beautifully. With the exception of some of our mesh pieces that are Brazilian and Mongoloian hair, which has a very similar texture to the Euro hair.

All our hair is virgin collected with its cuticle in tact meaning the first colour process it has is the one before we receive it meaning better quality hair that will last longer for you. What does cuticle in tact mean? Some hair is not kept remy at collection and is processed where the cuticle is removed and replaced with a synthetic one. The synthetic cuticle can feel nice to begin with but wears away quickly. If you have ever received a human hair piece that is very shiny this could be why.

Being human hair means they can be customised with colour, see our customisation options of our Toppers here. 

 

 

 

How do I know if I need a Topper or a Wig?

Knowing if you need a Topper or a wig can come down to both the degree of loss as well as personal preference. If you are suffering from thinning then often a topper is the perfect solution, if you are suffering from complete loss then a Wig would be your best solution. If you still aren't sure you can book in a complimentary consultation with us here.

Will anyone be able to tell if I'm wearing one?

Only if you tell them! We have so many tips and tricks to share with you to make sure your topper is undetectable! Colour really helps too, selecting a colour similar to yours will also aid in the illusion of beautiful luscious locks!

How do I know what one to choose?

This really is personal preference in terms of colour, length and density its completely up to you, if you have always had really fine hair then we would probably suggest a light to medium density for you to begin with. Colour wise having your natural hair similar to the topper is best as for a more natural look we recommend wearing your topper 1-2cm off your front hairline, depending on your natural hair length and the density of your chosen Topper you may find some of your hair will show through slightly so similar colours for a seamless blend is best.

Cap size however does take a little recon. Cap size refers to the base of your topper and they are all usually measured in inches. Caps come in all shapes and sizes but the most common cap sizes are 7"x8" 8"x8". To find your perfect cap size use our cap measuring page here.

 

 

How do I look after it?

You will find everything you need to know about caring for your Topper here.

 

Will wearing a Topper damage my hair? 

Absolutely not. all the clips are silicon lined to avoid any tension alopecia. If your  topper is worn as prescribed and not slept or swam in order to avoid any unnecessary tension on your natural hair, especially if your natural hair is fragile then you should not experience any damage. This also comes down to cap size selection if you are more fragile through the top we would advise a cap where the clips attach where your hair is at its strongest.
