FAQ
Q1. How Do I Know What Size To Get?
Average hair toppers fit heads from 21.5" to 22.5". Ninety-five percent of our customers fall into this range. Your hair topper should be worn on your natural hairline, approximately four fingers above the eyebrows. The back of the hair topper should be pulled down to the natural hairline in the back. Hair toppers have adjustable Velcro and elastic tabs in the back so you can adjust your hair topper for a secure, comfortable fit. There are also small tabs in the front of the ears that can be adjusted to hold the hair topper close to the face.
To easily select a color, buy a color ring prior to choosing your item. Color rings are the best option for frequent hair topper and hairpiece wearers. They make changing colors convenient and easy. Another option is to view our color chart online. Colors may vary depending on the computer and monitor you are using to view the color chart. To safely choose a color, we highly recommend purchasing a color ring.

Q4. How Can I Style My Hair Topper?
Your hair topper can be styled by using a hair topper brush, a hair topper comb, or your fingertips. Avoid using a brush designed for human hair. These brushes can create excessive tension, over-stretching the hair with abrasive strokes that may damage the hair. The hair toppers we carry are “shake & wear” and can be styled by simply using a wide tooth comb or your fingertips. The best styling tool is the most inexpensive; a spray bottle of clean, cool water. Lightly spritz your hair topper with water to remove static electricity and return your hair topper to its original look. To achieve style variations, liquid hair topper mousse is an essential styling tool. For curly or wavy styles, just mousse, hand scrunch, and pick the style into curls. On straight styles, mousse and brush lightly.

When not in use, always store your hair topper on a mannequin or hair topper stand to maintain its shape. Frequency of cleaning will depend on your environment, lifestyle and amount of perspiration.

Q8. Can I Dye Human Hair Extensions?
If you chose to dye your hair extensions, as with your own hair it is best only to dye it a few shades darker or lighter. Completely saturate the hair extensions in the hair dye to ensure an even application and leave for the recommended time. We do not recommend using any bleaching agents on the hair as this may cause damage to the extensions and your own hair.
Q9. Which Should I Choose Synthetic Or Human Hair?
Today's better quality synthetic hair toppers are virtually indistinguishable from human hair, except to the most practiced eye. Synthetic hair toppers are easier to care for and lower priced. The monofilament fiber "hair" used to make synthetic hair toppers has "memory" which means it maintains its wave or curl, texture and volume, requiring minimal upkeep. Synthetic hair toppers, however, are not designed to accept a permanent wave or color change and can be permanently damaged by the use of curling irons, blow dryers or hot rollers.
Q10. How Many Types Of Human Hair Are Used To Hair Topper?
There are four basic types of human hair used in hair toppers: Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and Caucasian (also called European hair). Most human hair hair toppers are made from Chinese or Indian hair. Caucasian/European is the strongest, most durable human hair for hair topper making. However, this type of hair is not as readily available and is the most expensive.
Q11. What Are Clip In Hair Extensions?
Clip in hair extensions are wefts of hair with secure clips sewn into the hair tracks. These are fantastic for a quick short term new look. They come as a full head, quick fix pieces or one clip strips for highlights. The extensions can be clipped in and removed in minutes and are virtually undetectable. They are also a great way of checking your look if you are thinking of going for the more permanent glue in extensions.
Q12. Can I Use Heated Products On My Hair Pieces?
In general human hair hair toppers can withstand heated products but it is advisable not to use heated appliances on synthetic hair. Always check with your supplier. In both cases of human and synthetic hair, we recommend that you treat your hair piece like skin and protect it from extreme weather. For instance, wear a hat when sunbathing or outdoors in heavy rain and wind.
Q13. Can You Explain Different Kinds Of Hair Topper?
The cap is the base of the hair topper to which hair is attached. Hair topper are available with several different types of caps and the hair of the hair topper is then attached to the cap using various techniques. Each cap type has its own distinct advantages. On most hair topper, hair is attached in "wefts". These are strings of hair doubled over and sewn closely together in long strands. This string is then machine sewn, hand sewn or hand tied horizontally onto the vertical lines of a hair topper cap.
A standard cap is the most common and most affordable cap design. The layers of hair are machine-sewed onto the cap, which has a closed lace layer at the crown. The hair is pre-designed into a specific style and the crown is often lightly teased or crimped so you cannot see down through to the cap. This type of cap often gives the hair a natural lift at the crown for volume.
A capless hair topper is very similar to the standard cap design. However, instead of the closed lace layer at the crown, it has vertical lace strips with open spaces between the wefts. The open-wefting in the crown, back, and sides allows for maximum ventilation. This makes the cap lighter weight and cooler than a standard cap.
Monofilament caps are constructed using a thin, breathable nylon or polyester mesh material at the crown that gives the illusion of skin and assumes the wearer's natural scalp color by partially revealing the scalp below. Monofilament caps offer the most natural look as well as styling versatility because each hair is individually hand tied at the crown so the hair can be parted and brushed in any direction. The entire hair topper may be hand tied, or the hair topper may have a monofilament crown with wefted sides and back. Monofilament hair topperS are an especially good choice for those with severe or total hair loss as the cap is soft, unlike cloth material, which can be itchy to those with sensitive scalps.
