Hair Toppers for Women

7 Most Asked Questions and Our Expert’s Answers

Struggling with hair loss as a woman can be emotionally distressing. Facing the mirror each day and feeling dissatisfied with our appearance can become a reason for significant stress. It’s hard for others to understand the challenge if they haven’t experienced it themselves, which can make one feel disconnected and out of place.

Over the years, I have seen numerous women resorting to a thousand of unthinkable strategies to overcome this cosmetic issue. Some have tried using hair dyes to darken the scalp, while others have even attempted tattoos, and some have experimented with gluing or weaving extensions into their hair…

At best, these are temporary measures; they won’t solve the problem…

Is there a solution for thinning hair?

Yes! Certainly, there is! One great solution for thinning hair, although it does not regrow your hair, is to dive into the world of alternative hair. Hair toppers for women are a fantastic solution that can give you beautiful locks in a few minutes! Hair Toppers for Women is not a new product in the market, but we still have many questions, especially if we never purchased one.

7 most asked questions (and answers!) about hair toppers for women!

1. Do Hair Toppers Damage Your Hair? Do they cause more hair loss?

No, hair toppers do not cause more hair loss, but I am telling the truth here: although hair toppers for women are often considered a safe and non-damaging option, they may not be suitable if you have very weak or prone to fallout hair. If this is the case, you may find the tension from a clip-in hairpiece uncomfortable and it may even hurt. Women with thin hair but without excessive hair loss usually encounter fewer risks by wearing a topper. At the end of the day, those clips must hold onto something.

2. What Is The Difference Between a Topper And a Wig?

A hair topper provides precise coverage to targeted areas of the scalp, while wigs cover the entire head. Hair toppers require some existing hair for secure attachment, while wigs can be worn even with total hair loss. Hair toppers offer enhanced breathability and a lighter feel compared to wigs, and they seamlessly blend with your natural hair. Toppers are a natural (in every sense!) solution to address thinning hair on the top and crown of the head. Having an impoverished or worse, empty scalp due to androgenetic alopecia or any other condition, can be a source of discomfort for those affected.

Full Wig: It covers your whole head. You do not need to blend your hair therefore, you can choose any color!

Topper: partial coverage for the crown area of your head. It blends with your hair as it doesn’t cover all yo of yur head but rather only the top part.

3. Are Hair Toppers a Good Solution if I Have Thinning Hair?

Yes! Absolutely! Hair pieces can be a good solution for women with thinning hair, especially if the hair loss is at the beginning or medium stage.

4. How are Hair Toppers Made?

The most common styles are made with a monofilament, lace, or silk base. The best and most realistic women’s hair toppers are made of human hair and it can take hours to complete one because each hair strand is singularly knotted on the base.

Synthetic hair toppers are a more budget-friendly option but thanks to today’s technology and innovations in the industry, they look very realistic.

5. Do Hair Toppers for Women Look Fake?

Many people believe a common myth about hair toppers – they think that if you wear one, everyone will notice and know it’s not your real hair.

But that’s just not true! Good-quality hair pieces for women are made so well that you can hardly tell the difference.

So don’t let that myth stop you from trying one out!

6. What are the cons of hair toppers?

Your top piece will need to be shampooed regularly, as well as fully styled, exactly like you would with your hair. This requires time and effort, so you must be willing to properly care for your hair topper if you want it to last and look beautiful. Another downside, for some people, is that they have to take it off before bed, and some struggle to accept the reality that this is, although great, only an aesthetic solution.

7. How Does a Hair Topper Stay On?

There are 2 ways of securing your piece: it can be attached temporarily or semi-permanently.

Clips: These are used when the area to be covered still has a reasonable amount of hair. Small, special clips made of lightweight alloy are sewn inside the base.

Once placed on the top of the head, you simply need to press with a simple click, and from that moment on, you can finally show off your beautiful hair.

This is a temporary solution as you will take your topper off before going to sleep or when you do not need to wear it.

Adhesives or glue: Hair toppers for thinning hair (also called hairpieces) can be fixed with double-sided tape or glue in cases of significant hair loss on the center of the head.

This system can be the ideal solution for cases of permanent baldness. Like for example bald spots caused by alopecia. This solution allows you to wear your topper 24/7 and it is a better solution if you have bald spots or very thin and fragile hair.

Consider that in certain instances some of your natural hair will have to be shaved if you opt for a bonded (glued) hair topper.

The beauty of women’s hair toppers, and we’re not just referring to the aesthetic aspect, goes much further: it’s a way of being, a solution to the hair problem and an opportunity to regain self-esteem.

We can describe these hair pieces as easy to wear and pleasing to the eye. Their application is secure, thanks to self-locking clips that ensure a secure hold. You can wear your new hair all day and feel fabulous in it!
