Hair Toppers: What They Are and How They Work

What is a Hair Topper?

Toppers, also known as top pieces, come in numerous sizes, shapes, colors, and hair lengths. The right topper should be virtually invisible, emphasizing your natural hair while addressing spots that are thinning, a high forehead, or a receding hairline. Hairdo toppers provide an authentic look that’s easy to wear and style. Rule of thumb: a good topper should not be seen.

Choosing the Right Topper

When selecting a topper, consider:

Coverage Needs: Do you want to add volume, conceal thinning, or frame your face?
Base Size: Choose a topper with a base that’s at least 1” larger than your area of concern for secure attachment.
Hair Type: Hairdo offers heat-friendly synthetic, and human hair toppers. If you want styling and color flexibility, human hair.
Color Match: Match the topper to your mid-shaft and ends for the smoothest blend. Hairdo’s expertly blended shades make finding a match easier than ever. There are even rooted colors to match your root area and hairline.

How to Put On a Topper

Blending a topper correctly ensures a flawless finish. Follow these steps for an easy application:

Placement Matters: If your topper doesn’t have a lace front, place it slightly behind your own hairline for a natural transition.
Secure Clips: Attach the pressure-sensitive clips to your hair, ensuring a solid but comfortable hold.
Blend with Your Hair: Tease your natural hair and the topper hair together at the front edge.
Style to Integrate: Use soft waves, layers, or texturizing techniques to create a coordinated look.

Hair Topper Application Tips

Use dry shampoo to reduce shine on synthetic toppers.
Add a root spray or eyeshadow to blend the part with your natural hair.
Choose a topper that’s close to your hair length or no shorter than 4-6 inches from your own.
Move the clips slightly every time you wear it to reduce stress on the same hair strands.

Combining Toppers with Other Hairpieces

Want even more volume or length? Pair your Hairdo topper with clip-in extensions, a ponytail, or a wrap for a full, glamorous look. Whether you want an everyday style or something special, layering hairpieces adds depth and versatility.
