Hair volume is closely related to confidence and overall appearance for many women. But if nature hasn’t been kind and you weren’t born with it or you’re dealing with hair thinning, worry not. With the right hair care practices, styling techniques, and products, you can achieve fuller hair.
However, if you're not into heavy products or excessive styling, hairpiece toppers are the perfect solution for achieving fullness and body. These one-piece wonders offer all-day volume and comfort without the fuss or commitment.
Unlike wigs that offer full coverage or a complete change in appearance, top hair pieces add volume or coverage to specific areas without covering their entire head. When all you need is a bit of lift to restore confidence in your natural look, a top hairpiece can be the perfect addition to your look.
All-Day Comfort
Hair toppers are a go-to solution for everyday confidence. So, obviously you want that solution to feel comfortable wearing daily and not causing irritation or discomfort. If you choose a high-quality top hair piece it'll be comfortable you'll forget you're wearing it.
These pieces usually feature super gentle clips and a breathable cap for easy wear. In this case, there's no harm in wearing your topper all day, every day. The breathable material helps keep your scalp cool and prevents heat buildup or discomfort that can come with wearing low-quality hair pieces. Plus, their lightweight design ensures they sit comfortably on your head without adding extra pressure.
Also, quality hair pieces with pressure-sensitive clips can provide a secure hold without further damaging the hair or scalp. This can be beneficial for women who are already battling hair thinning. These women should avoid hairpieces with harsh attachment methods, such as tight clips, glue, or tape since these can add tension and lead to further hair loss.
Although quality hair pieces are comfortable and breathable, it’s best to avoid wearing them at night when it’s time for sleeping. This prevents unnecessary tension on your scalp and allows your natural hair to rest and breathe. Although sleeping with a top hairpiece may feel comfortable, it’s not advisable to do it daily.
Volume Without the Fuss
Unlike styling products that can be time-consuming and require constant reapplication or hair extensions that require styling and care, hair toppers need little to no upkeep. Once you purchase one, all you have to do is secure it in place and style it as desired. After styling, it can hold its shape with minimal upkeep.
Synthetic fibre options are often pre-styled, saving you time and effort in your daily routine. If you want to customise the look, many heat-resistant synthetic fibres can handle low to medium heat meaning they can be styled with heat and parted in any direction. Furthermore, they can maintain their style throughout the day, even in varying weather conditions, without requiring constant touch-ups.
While synthetic options offer ease and convenience, natural hair pieces provide greater versatility and can be styled in various ways. Whether curled, straightened, or parted in any direction, they make it easy to switch up your look for different moods or occasions without the fuss of constant restyling.
Natural Look and Feel
Hair toppers are available in a variety of colours, shades, lengths, and textures, making it easy to find a solution that resembles and blends in with your hair, offering a natural look and feel. Moreover, thanks to their lightweight design, hair pieces allow for more natural movement and flexibility. They mimic the movement of natural hair, adding volume without looking bulky.
Looking to spice things up? You can experiment with a different shade or try a highlighted topper to add depth and dimension to your style. Highlighted toppers feature lighter or contrasting streaks of colour, perfect for enhancing your hairstyle with a more dynamic, textured appearance. They often come in a variety of shades, allowing you to select one that complements your natural hair colour or experiment with a bold, new look.
If you still can't find your perfect shade, you can dye your hair toppers with salon-grade products. First, make sure that you buy a topper with heat-friendly fibres and use professional dyeing techniques to achieve the ideal colour. To maintain their integrity, avoid colouring or styling basic models. That's because synthetic hairpieces that aren’t heat-friendly may melt, become frizzy, or lose their smooth texture when exposed to hair dye chemicals.
You can even cut your hair topper to easily blend in with your natural hair length. For the best results, it's advisable to check the material of your topper before attempting to dye it yourself. Or you can visit a local salon for professional cutting or colouring of your hairpiece.
