Key Differences & Advantages Explained

A. Original Upgrade Courtney – Maximum Durability

The original Upgrade Courtney remains the most durable option thanks to its full mono top construction.
It is ideal for:

  • Daily wear
  • Users who prioritize longevity
  • Beginners who want a worry-free hair topper

However, its hairline is less flexible compared to lace front designs, especially for exposed forehead styles.

B. NEW Lace Front Upgrade Courtney – The Best Balance

The new lace front mono topper was created to combine realism with structure.

Key advantages:

  • A natural lace front hairline that blends seamlessly at the forehead
  • A mono top cap that provides shape, structure, and durability
  • More durable than Swiss lace hair toppers, but not as indestructible as the original mono version

Real-World Fit Insight

Everyone’s head shape is different. That said, we’ve found that many wearers achieve a very secure and flat fit at the front hairline using only the halo wire, without glue or tape. This makes the new Lace Front Upgrade Courtney especially appealing for users who prefer:

  • No adhesives
  • Quick daily wear
  • Comfortable, low-maintenance styling

C. Lace Front Swiss Lace Toppers – Ultimate Natural Look

Swiss lace hair toppers, such as Airy Elegance, are known for:

The most invisible hairline

Maximum breathability

More styling possibilities

However, Swiss lace is more delicate by nature. While beautiful and lightweight, it does not offer the same durability as mono constructions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is the NEW Upgrade Courtney still made with Burmese hair that dries wavy?

Yes. The new Lace Front Upgrade Courtney is still made with premium Burmese human hair.
As with the original version, this hair naturally dries with a soft wave after washing. Light styling or blow-drying is recommended for a smoother finish.

2. What distinguishes the new Upgrade Courtney from the Lace Top Collection?

The construction is different:

Swiss Lace Collection: Full Swiss lace top— ultra breathable, ultra natural, but more delicate

New Upgrade Courtney: Lace front + mono top — more structured, more durable, easier for daily wear

In short: Lace front version of Breeze and Airy Elegance prioritizes invisibility, while the new Courtney prioritizes balance.

3. Is the difference between 110% and 130% density really noticeable?

Yes, the difference is significant.

110% density: Natural, lightweight, ideal for slight hair thinning

130% density: Fuller, more volume, ideal for middle hair loss

If your goal is realism and comfort, 110% is ideal.
If you want more fullness or dramatic volume, 130% will feel noticeably thicker.

Final Recommendation

The NEW Lace Front Upgrade Courtney stands out as the most balanced option—offering a natural hairline, reliable structure, and impressive durability, all while remaining easy to wear without adhesives for many users.
