Rocking That Topper: How To Wear Hair Toppers

Making your hair look normal can be a very stressful and time-consuming process when you have thinning hair or partial baldness. It takes a lot of time and effort to cover up all your thinning areas and bald spots which can be pretty frustrating, especially if you have to do it every day.

Hair toppers are a great solution for regaining the usual look of your hair. They are convenient and relatively easy to wear, but this doesn’t automatically make them an all-encompassing solution to your problems. To rock hair toppers, you have to know how to wear them properly. This is very important because no one wants her topper to come off in public.

If you do have that fear, you can now rest easy because, in this post, you get to learn how to wear all kinds of hair toppers and never worry about your topper slipping off ever again.

How to wear a clip-in topper

1. Style your topper hair and natural hair separately and in the same hairstyle.
2. Make a clean parting in your hair.
3. Open the clips on the topper.
4. Hold the clip-in topper over your head and match your natural parting to your topper parting.
5. Wear the hair topper at an appropriate distance from your hairline.*
6. Push the clips into your hair and make the topper flat against your hair.
7. Scoop your hair into the clips and then clip it in.
8. Check for uncomfortable areas and adjust the clips to loosen any hair that’s being pulled by the topper.
9. Hold down the topper and comb it with your bio hair to mesh the hair strands.
10. Sometimes, you can form locks consisting of bio hair and topper hair to make your hair topper blend in seamlessly.

* Lace front hair toppers can form hairlines themselves while other hair topper types should be placed 0.5 to 1.5 inches from the hairline i.e. a little bit away from the hairline.

How to wear hair toppers without clips

No-attachment 

Some hair toppers come with anti-slip bands making them a great long-term alternative when you want to lay off clips for a while due to fragile hair or sensitive scalp.

Tape attachment

You can also use a double-sided tape to attach your hair topper to your head as an alternative to using clips. The tape should be water-resistant and placed directly on the scalp.

Wire attachment

An alternative to attaching hair toppers with clips is to use a piece of wire to hold the topper in place at the front of your head. It is often used when there’s nowhere to attach clips to at the front hairline.
