Do you see tiny dark dots at the base of hair toppers for women? Don’t worry! Those are just ”knots,” and they are completely normal. This blog will show you the easiest way to hide them without any damaging bleach.

What Are Knots on Human Hair Toppers for Women? Do All Toppers Have Them?

If you look closely at the base of your hair topper, you might notice tiny dark dots where each hair is secured. These are called knots—and they’re completely normal! Knots are created during the hand-tying process, which ensures each strand is individually anchored for a natural, movable hair effect.
Knots are most common on lace hair toppers and mono base toppers. These bases are popular for their realistic appearance and lightweight breathability.

Here’s something important to note:
Knots are more visible on darker toppers—like black or dark brown shades. If you have a topper with a lighter root color, such as blonde or light gray, the knots will be much less noticeable.

You might wonder—why are the knots still dark? Some companies bleach knots to make them less visible, but at UniWigs, we intentionally avoid bleaching. Here’s why: skipping the bleaching process extends the lifespan of your hair topper and helps maintain the strength of each hair fiber. That means your topper stays beautiful longer—making it a smarter investment for you!
So while knots may seem noticeable up close, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Keep reading for our easy, no-bleach method to seamlessly conceal knots and enjoy a flawless look.

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Hide Knots in Minutes

This method uses simple beauty products you already own. It’s safe, easy, and protects your human hair topper from harsh chemicals.

What You Need:

• Your hair topper
• Scar tape
• Concealer or light eyeshadow
• A small makeup brush

Step 1: Prepare the Base with a Scar Tape

First, place a scar tape on the inside of your topper’s cap, right where your part line will be. This silicone tape acts as a neutral background. It helps the topper’s part line better match your skin tone, resulting in a more natural overall appearance.

Step 2: Apply Concealer Along the Part

Next, take a concealer or a light-shade eyeshadow that matches your skin tone. Apply a small amount at a time. Gently dab the product directly onto the part line area on the outer side of the topper base, focusing on covering the knots. Remember, you can always add more product later, so start with a light layer.

Step 3: Blend for a Natural Look
Now, you can use a small makeup brush. Gently blend and rub the concealer into the base. Use a light, tapping motion to make the color look soft and natural. This step ensures there are no harsh lines, making it look like your real scalp.

Step 4: Put On and Adjust
Finally, put on your hair topper as you normally would. Make any minor adjustments to the part to ensure it looks perfect. If you are still not satisfied with the result, try creating a zigzag part, which helps conceal the knots better. Your topper will look incredibly realistic and natural.
