Choose the Perfect Hair Topper: Things To Consider
Size of the hair topper
The size of the hair topper is the first step to choosing the right hair topper for you.
Firstly, you need to locate the area of your hair loss – it could be located in different areas of your head, on your hair parting, on the crown area, etc. and after you find out from where your hair is thinning, you need to measure the area out precisely because that’ll determine the size of the hair topper that you’ll buy. You can carry out the step by measuring the length & width of your thinning area with the help of a measurement tape.
Then, you’ll give these measurements to the company you’re buying hair toppers from, and they will provide you with the options which are appropriate according to your measurements.
Length and thickness of the topper
Next comes the length & thickness of the topper you want.
To carry out the step, you need to measure the length of your natural hair. The length of the topper can be similar to the length of your natural hair, or you can also go a few inches longer.
As for the thickness of the hair topper, that depends on your preference, on the purpose and the type of your natural hair. For instance, if your hair is curlier & wavier you can choose a topper with more volume. On the contrary, if your hair is on the straighter side, you might want to go for less volume.
Remember the goal is not only to cover up the thinning area but also to make sure that hair topper blends in perfectly with your natural hair.
The base type of the topper
Now comes the more complex choice – the base of the topper.
There are primarily three types of bases for hair toppers. The Lace base where the hairs are tied to the base then comes the Monofilament base which is simply known as the Mono base and is made of fine mesh material and last, we have the Slick base which is made from pure silk.
You can choose:
- Lace base, if you want a base that is more comfortable and breathable.
- Monofilament base, if you want a more realistic option than lace base but which is less breathable.
- Silk base, if you want that immaculate realistic look with unnoticeable knots is praying for the long-lasting life of the topper. But note that silk base toppers are more expensive than others.
Material of the topper
Hair toppers typically come in two material options in regard to their material which is the “hair”. They are synthetic fiber or human hair. The one that is the best for you depends on various factors such as the affordability, your styling needs, how natural you want the look to be and finally, the color choice.
For instance, if you are someone who goes for different hair styles on a regular basis you should choose human hair as synthetic hair doesn’t really give you the option for styling. As for affordability, synthetic hair is much more affordable than human hair. But if you want your topper to look as natural as possible, a human hair topper is the best option.
Color of the topper
Choosing the right color for a topper that matches perfectly with your natural hair is vital! You can choose it from a color chart or get a color ring or some companies might even ask for a sample of your hair to match it with the topper. Remember, even the slightest difference in the shade can lead to a quite obvious color difference between the hair topper and your natural hair which will be foolishly visible.
