Here is our compilation of the 6 best hair toppers in the market to help you pick one for yourself.

Benefits of Hair Toppers

Covers bald spots

Balding can be caused by hormonal changes, medical conditions or just aging. Hereditary hair loss is perhaps the most common cause of balding.

Whatever the cause of bald spots, hair toppers are a convenient solution used to conceal themand retain your natural hair color and style.

Add volume

There is no denying it. There is something sexy about thick hair. The hundreds of hair products made to achieve volume to hair are testament that this is something women want in their look.

For some women, thin hair is as a result of aging. Others have always had naturally thin and fine hair which tends to sit lifelessly flat on the crown of the head. Hair toppers are used to add volume, again while retaining your natural hair color and style.

Alternative to wigs

Wigs are the age old solution to hair problems. They are designed to cover the whole head and all the hair is tucked in under it. One thing wig wearers complain about is the weight of the wig. Hair toppers make a good alternative because they are small and light.

If you have had to wear a wig on a hot day, the uncomfortable feeling that your head is ‘suffocating’ is a familiar one. With hair toppers, you don’t have to deal with this discomfort because it covers only a small part of the head.

Change your look

You may have no balding nor thinning. Perhaps you have fabulously thick hair.

A hair topper can be used to change your look in minutes. Women who use hair toppers for this often opt for toppers with a color or tone different from their natural hair. The new color blends created instantly changes your look.

What to Consider When Buying the Best Hair Toppers

Type of hair loss

Crown hair loss: If you hair loss is at the crown and parting area, wide top pieceswork well to hide the gaps and give you a natural look.

Receding hairline: If your hair loss is at the hairline or temples, the hair toppers you need are shaped differently. You can get clip-in fringes which are available for both short and long hair.

Complete hair loss: If you are experiencing thinning or loss of hair on the entire head, you don’t have to wear a wig. There are hair toppers for you too. You only need to place the hair piece on your head and be off.

Synthetic or human hair

Synthetic hair toppers are made from plastic or acrylic fibers which resemble human hair. These come permanently styled and are not weather sensitive.

Human hair toppers are made from actual human hair. They have to be restyled after washing and are weather sensitive. Human hair toppers generally require more upkeep and tend to be more expensive than synthetic toppers.

Base

There are 2 types of bases.

Monofilament base: Made with a soft meshing with individual hairs attached. It creates the illusion of hair growing naturally from the scalp.

Wefted base:has rows or wefts of hair. It works well for partial hair loss and thinning hair because it lets you pull your own hair through the wefts thus integrating your hair with the hair piece. The result is a natural, seamless look. A wefted base provides better ventilation thus making such toppers more comfortable.

Length

Hair toppers come in varying lengths to match different natural hair lengths. Some manufacturers label them as short, medium and long. Others use specific length differentiations such as 8 inches for short toppers, 12 inches for medium length, 16, 20 or 22 inches.

Conclusion

Bald spots and thinning hair can be quite embarrassing. Hair toppers are a welcome solution for many women dealing with this problem. They restore volume and fullness to give you a new confidence-inducing look.

Be sure to pick one which matches the color of your natural hair and read the package or online details carefully to ensure you buy a hair topper of the right length.
