How Do You Put Your Hair Topper on Thinning Hair?

Wearing a hair topper on thinning hair can be a great way to add volume and cover areas of hair loss. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to properly put on a hair topper:


1. Preparation

  • Clean Hair: Make sure your hair is clean and free of any heavy products like oils or gels. This helps the topper attach more securely and comfortably.

  • Detangle: Brush your hair to remove any tangles.

  • Part Your Hair: Part your hair where you usually do or where the topper is designed to blend in.

2. Position and Clip in the Topper

  • Align: Hold the topper by its front edge and position it so that the clips land in areas of hair that are not thinning on your scalp. The front edge of the topper should be aligned with your natural hairline or where you want it to start.

  • Attach Front Clips: Starting at the front, open the clips on the topper and press them into your natural hair, then snap them shut. Make sure they are secure but not too tight.

  • Attach Side and Back Clips: Move to the sides and back, securing each clip in place by pressing it into your hair and snapping it shut.

  • Check for Comfort: Ensure that the topper is secure but not pulling on your hair uncomfortably. Pulling can cause traction alopecia or more hair loss.

3. Blend the Topper

Most toppers come with clips or combs for secure attachment.
  • Blend with Natural Hair: Use a comb or your fingers to blend your natural hair with the topper. This can involve gently pulling some of your natural hair over the edges of the topper or combing the hair together.

  • Style: Style the topper and your natural hair as desired. You can use heat styling tools if the topper is heat-friendly.

  • Secure with Additional Products (Optional): If you want extra security, you can use bobby pins or a small amount of hairspray.

Tips:

  • Practice: The first few times might take longer, but you'll get faster with practice.

  • Hair Texture: Make sure the texture and color of the topper match your natural hair for a seamless look.

  • Maintenance:  Regularly clean and condition your hair topper to maintain its integrity and keep it looking beautiful.
