Are you thinking of adding a hair topper to your styling routine? It’s a great idea — especially if you’re looking for a boost in volume and added dimension. Whether you’re dealing with hair thinning, bald spots, breakage, or want a voluminous lift, hair toppers help you conceal troublesome areas and give you styling diversity.
Considering that the crown of the head is a common spot for thinning hair, women’s hair toppers offer an instant, natural-looking fix!
Luckily, there are ample options for topper hair pieces available to you. But how will you know which one meets your needs? And on that subject: how do hair toppers for women work?
WHAT IS A HAIR TOPPER?
Don’t know what a hair topper is? You may have previously heard of them referred to as a wiglet, topper, hairpiece, toupee, top extension, or postiche. Regardless of the various names, these different hair pieces all serve the same purpose: to disguise thinning hair or partial hair loss and give your hair a volume-lift.
Whether you’ve got thinning hair or not, toppers give you styling flexibility and confidence to try new looks.
We’ll take one (or two) please! Ok, so what are they exactly?
Hair toppers are small pieces of alternative hair covering only the crown of the head, whereas wigs provide coverage of the entire scalp. Hair toppers vary in size, depending on the amount of coverage you need.
The best women’s hair toppers have built-in clips that secure the added hair to your existing natural strands. And don’t forget about hair color! Finding the right color-match to your natural hair helps a topper hair piece integrate seamlessly. No awkward blending or texture variances here!
Speaking of texture: are hair toppers made with synthetic fibers or natural human hair? Excellent question.
We’ll cover that in-depth in a bit. First, let’s talk a little more about why you might choose a hair topper instead of a wig.
