September 24, 2025 Hair Topper 101 Views: 27

During the wearing of hair toppers, you may have some questions. We have collected some common questions about human hair toppers. Check and see if your questions have been involved!

1. What products can reduce frizz?

Frizz is one of the biggest concerns when wearing or styling hair toppers for thinning hair. Luckily, a few tips can make a big difference:

Drying Methods – Let it air dry for a while but blow-dry it while it’s still damp. This way the curl has not set, but you’re not frizzing the hair. Air drying your human hair topper is not recommended as the hair will tend to frizz and not have a polished look. Always blow-dry with a round boar bristle brush. Applying oil to the ends of the hair helps prevent the hair from drying out and becoming frizzy.

Heat protectant sprays – Always use some heat protectant sprays before blow-drying, straightening, or curling. They shield your hair from heat damage, which often leads to frizz.

Hair oils or serums – These can help to seal the cuticle, add shine, and keep hair smooth.

2. How to fix the missing front lace?

A small section of missing lace at the front can usually be hidden with a side part. If more lace is missing, you have two options:

Visit a hair repair store for professional help.

Hand-knot it yourself if you have the skill and tools.

We also provide repair services. However, success depends on the topper’s condition, so results may vary. Please contact [email protected] before sending back directly.

3. Why is 624R Dusty Ash Brown more expensive than other colors?

Not all human hair toppers for women are created equally when it comes to color. Pricing depends on the complexity of the coloring process:

Solid shades are the easiest to produce, so they’re priced the lowest.

Rooted shades (marked with “R”) cost a little more because they require root coloring.

Multi-tone blends increase in price as more colors are combined.

For example, 626R Vanilla Butter Blonde is a two-tone blend. But 624R Dusty Ash Brown combines three tones, making it more complex and therefore more expensive.

4. Can’t sew clips securely on the topper?

If you are not able to sew clips onto your topper, it may be due to the material or stitching technique. Using a strong nylon thread usually works best. If you’re not confident, a stylist or repair service can help attach them securely.

5. Can short hair work with a long topper?

Yes, it can! As long as the hair topper is blended correctly, short hair can transition beautifully into a longer topper.

Layering and trimming by a stylist will help create a natural flow between your hair and the topper.

Curls can make the gap look more natural!

Besides, the selection of hair toppers is important, please always consider a larger base size. Such as 9” x 9” Savannah or 8.5” x 9” Breeze. A bigger base will make the blend easier, as it has more volume to cover.

6. Do I need to wash the topper before wearing it?

Brand-new human hair toppers are ready to wear. Washing is not necessary before the first use. However, if you prefer, you can give it a gentle wash to remove any factory residue.

7. How can I add more height to the crown?

If you want extra volume at the crown, try these tips:

Tease your natural hair underneath the topper.

Use a volumizing powder or spray at the roots.

Use a heating tool to make your hair topper more voluminous at the roots.

Choose a topper with built-in volume at the base for a lifted look.

8. How long do toppers last?

With the right care, human hair toppers for women can last several years. The minimum lifespan is usually six months, but using the right products, gentle handling, and proper storage will extend its life.

The lifespan of hair toppers is influenced by base materials and their structure. Mono and silk bases are supposed to have a longer lifespan than skin and lace. And for a lace topper, closed lace will be more durable than lace front.

A hair topper can help improve one’s beauty and boost their confidence. Knowing how to care for it, blend it, and solve common issues will make your topper look natural and last longer.
