SPECIAL FEATURES:

  • Polyurethane front rim to accommodate tape for added security
  • Monofilament top for low density, natural movement, and styling versatility
  • 5 strategically placed 1¼” pressure-sensitive clips for a secure attachment
  • Our recommendation for styling Heat Friendly fiber is to stay between 275° F-300° F for best results.

Do you have a store, so I can see these pieces in person?

No, we do not have a retail store as Hairtoppers.com is exclusively online. Browse our site anytime and anywhere!


Should I ask my hairdresser about hair pieces?

Your trusted hairdresser is a great resource for an introduction into hair pieces. However, if you are seeking expert assistance, we recommend reaching out to our Client Care Representatives. Our Reps can help with finding the perfect product for you, color matching, and more!


Do your hair pieces look natural?

For the most natural look with hair pieces, we recommend doing your research on different products, understanding which product will work best for your needs/wants, and finding your perfect hair color match. Once you find your perfect hair piece, we recommend checking out our videos on application and blending techniques.


I’m on a budget. What products can you recommend for me?

If you are new to hair pieces or are wanting an inexpensive way to change up your look, we recommend going with a synthetic or heat-friendly synthetic hair piece. The fibers on these hair pieces mimic the look of real hair while being a fraction of the price!


Do I have to use special shampoo on my hair piece?

We recommend washing your hair pieces with our specially formulated shampoo for alternative hair. Free of all those bad ingredients (including sulfates and parabens), our hair care line called BeautiMark will help you clean your piece without damage.


How do you wash?

We recommend washing your piece every 8-10 wears. Start by detangling the hair with a wide tooth comb. Then, run cool water in a downward direction over the hair. Apply a small amount of BeautiMark shampoo and gently lather. Once saturated, cleanse your piece with water again in a downward direction. For human hair pieces, follow up with conditioner making sure to avoid the cap. Do not comb your hair piece while it is wet; simply blot dry with a towel. For synthetic hair pieces lightly spray a leave-in conditioner. A helpful video showing you how-to is coming soon!


Are they synthetic or real?

Our hair pieces come in all varieties of hair fiber types including: synthetic hair, heat-friendly synthetic hair, human hair & heat-friendly synthetic blended hair, human hair, and Remy human hair. 

 

How do I style the hair?

For synthetic hair, once you apply the piece and blend, you're ready to go! You cannot use heat tools on synthetic hair. Tip: if you notice that your synthetic hair piece is not matching the luster of your own hair, lightly spray on dry shampoo to match your hair piece's shine to your natural hair's luster. For all other hair fiber types, you can you heat tools, including blowdryers, hair straighteners, curling irons/wands, up to 350° Fahrenheit. 

 

Can you dye real hair?

Our human hair pieces have been processed with textile dyes in order to achieve the variety of colors you see on the site. So, these pieces will not react to traditional hair dye the way that the hair on our heads will. We recommend that our clients do not dye their hair pieces themselves. Note: if you have a trusted and professional hairdresser, we recommend buying your human hair piece in color 613 and having your hairdresser color it to match your hair color.


How long do they last? / What’s the lifespan of these hair pieces?

With proper care and washing regimen, hair pieces can last for months or even years depending on how frequent they are worn. Generally, with every day wear, synthetic hair pieces will last 4-6 months and heat-friendly synthetic hair pieces will last 2-3 months. Blended human hair pieces will last 6+ months while human hair and Remy human hair pieces will last over 1 year with proper care.


How do I find my hair color match?

If you've found the style and piece you like, but can't decide what your best color match would be, we recommend contacting our Client Care Representatives. You can send a picture of your hair (in various lightings) to our Representatives, and they can examine your pictures and let you know your closest hair color match. 

Note: you may not find a perfect hair color match if you have salon roots, balayage, or other salon coloring techniques.

    I Love It!

    I have ordered two of these and just love them! I get so many compliments. I cut bangs because I've always had bangs. I order long toppers and then trim them just like real hair when they get frayed on the ends. I wear them ALL THE TIME so they get well used! First time in my life I have ever felt attractive because I have always had thin fine hair. I love my toppers!!!

    Absolutely stunned and stunning

    This is my first topper and I am absolutely shocked at how comfortable, beautiful and natural it is. Even my sisters and husband could not immediately tell that it was not my real hair. I actually can’t tell that easily myself on the underneath parts and I have to pull on a section to see if it’s the wig or my own hair.

    I walked to work and home with it on which was over four miles and I’ve also gone to the gym (weights, not cardio) with it on and it was totally comfortable.

    I will note as other reviewers have that it is quite a bit of hair. I can pull it off because it’s how my hair used to look before I started losing it so it doesn’t make me look significantly different than I’ve looked for most of my life (but on a really really good hair day).

    I’m only sorry I didn’t know about toppers sooner because I would’ve been wearing them instead of doing all the chemical straightening and heat styling that caused all my hair to break off.

    I rarely write reviews and I was uncomfortable posting my picture, but I felt it was so important to provide information to other women. I relied heavily on the reviews and pictures that other people posted. Photo one is my real hair - all broken off. And photos 2,3, and 4 are the topper.

    New color!

    They now have my fav topper in a black color which matches my hair color perfect! Unfortunately I wear the heck out of her and need to replace every 4-6 months but she is absolutely sublime! I cut bangs in and she makes me feel so beautiful.

    Love

    This topper is stunning and the waves have stayed even after many wears. I cut bangs into mine and I feel like I have my old hair back. By far my favorite. Ordered in Shaded Sand.

    She is so beautiful

    Perfect wave and I'm able to integrate a rooted color into my natural 1B color.... squee! Everyone thinks I got a balyage.
