Whether you’re an old hand at dealing with hair loss or a beginner just starting to learn how to handle it, you’ve probably heard of the terms: ‘half wig’, ‘wiglet’, and ‘hair topper’. All three terms refer to the same thing: the ‘hair replacement topper’.
Hair toppers are a popular option for handling hair thinning or hair loss in women. While they cannot disguise complete baldness, they are more than capable of hiding bald spots, receding hairline, or partial hair loss.
If you’re unfamiliar with these types of hair pieces, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered because, in this article, we’ll go into full detail about what hair toppers are, how to use them, and many other questions you’re wondering about. Let’s get started.
Hair toppers are hair pieces meant to add volume to your natural hair. Unlike wigs which are made to completely replace your hair, hair toppers are attached to the top of the head to give your existing hair a more voluminous feel.
As such, they are perfect for hiding bald spots and thinning hair while avoiding the inconveniences that come with donning a traditional wig.
Hair toppers are made of monofilament caps with hand-sewn hair strands attached to them. These hair pieces can be worn by using clips, hair tapes, or even adhesives to attach them to the head. Wearing hair toppers makes your hair bulkier and more healthy-looking.
Hair toppers are designed to add volume to your existing hair. For this reason, they are a great option for those with thinning hair or partial hair loss due to stress, chemotherapy, alopecia, etc. That said, they cannot be used not for complete hair loss.
Hair toppers can also be worn over healthy hair just to make it look fuller.
Hair toppers are classified based on two major factors:
Human hair toppers are made of natural hair fiber sewn into the base of the topper. They are very realistic, though they are somewhat pricey.
Synthetic hair toppers have hair strands made of synthetic hair fibers. They are generally more affordable than their human hair counterparts.
A special type of synthetic hair topper is the heat-friendly synthetic hair topper. They are designed to withstand treatment from heat-styling tools.
Monofilament
Monofilament hair toppers use wig caps made of fine mesh with individual hairs tied to it. They are great if you want multidirectional parting as they provide a realistic-looking crown.
Lace
Hair toppers with lace bases have individual hair tied to a lace material. Lace front hair toppers give you a hairline that appears natural.
Silk top
This is the most realistic hair topper as it makes hair appear as if it is growing from the scalp.
Skin
This base looks and feels like your skin.
