Hi Everyone, Kate here, writing for myhairtoppers.com! I’ve been navigating the realm of alternative hair, from hair toppers to wigs and extensions, for quite some time. I know the challenges that come with trying to blend in your helper hair with your natural locks, especially short ones. Sometimes, you just want that extra boost of volume and style, and you need a way to make it look like all that fabulous hair is yours. 

Blending a hair topper with short hair can be a bit tricky, but don’t worry; I’ve got you covered with a step-by-step tutorial on how to seamlessly blend in your hair topper with your own natural hair.

10 BEST HAIR TOPPERS FOR SHORT HAIR - OUR PICKS

1. VIVID FRENCH 6″ – ESTETICA 

BEST QUALITY HUMAN HAIR TOPPER FOR SHORT HAIR 

Let’s dive right in. This is my favorite hair topper, Vivid  French 6″ by Estetica in the stunning shade of R12/26H – Light Brown with Golden Blonde Highlights. Vivid French 6″ is a luxurious crown volumizer that blends seamlessly with short or layered styles. Each hair is hand-tied to a satiny double mono base using French knotting and hand-tied onto a lace front to offer flawless coverage and multidirectional styling. It may not be on the cheap side, but in my opinion, it is worth every penny!

Blending a hair topper with short hair

Unlike some lace-front toppers, this one works its magic by blending with your own hairline to create a natural look. You can also employ a few tips and tricks, similar to those used when wearing a wig, to create a more natural parting. But today, we’ll focus on the installation process.

STEP 1 

Before attaching the topper, make sure the clips are in the closed position. This prevents any of your natural hair from getting caught up in them. You want the topper to sit right up against your natural hairline, no more than about a centimeter back.

STEP 2

Now, carefully secure all the clips in place. Sometimes, you might need to revisit the front clips after securing the back ones, as things can shift slightly during the process. A quick check ensures everything is where it should be.

STEP 3

Next up, grab a brush or a wide-tooth comb for wavy styles. Incorporate your natural hair, especially along the hairline, with the hair topper. The goal is to create a smooth transition between your hair and the topper for a seamless look.

STEP 4

Take a closer look at the installation. Your natural hair’s color at the hairline should perfectly blend with the topper. Since this topper has a lace front, it creates a new hairline for you. But if your hair topper for short hair doesn’t have a lace front,  you need to pay attention to matching the color tones at the hairline. My secret weapon? Boldify Hairline Powder! This hairline powder blends effortlessly with your bio hair and works wonders in covering any visible gray or mismatched tones at the hairline. Just a few dabs, and you’re good to go! The patch of the scalp that was showing due to thinning is now concealed, giving you a natural and seamless appearance. 

They have 14 shades available, just choose yours and you will fall in love with this magic product!
