What is a Topper in the Wig Business?
Looking to conceal thinning hair or change up your look but don’t need the full coverage of a wig? A hair topper is a fantastic, lightweight option and one of the most popular alternatives to full wigs.
There are now more options to choose from than ever before, meaning you’re sure to find the right topper to fit your style. Read on to learn more about the benefits of hair toppers and how they differ from full wigs.
What is a Topper?
A hair topper is a smaller hairpiece that only covers the top of the head. Just like full wigs, toppers come in many different styles, lengths, and colors. They can be made from synthetic fibers or crafted using real human hair.
Wigs vs Toppers
A wig is a larger hairpiece that covers your entire head. Since wigs provide full coverage, you may choose one that’s a completely different style or color than your natural hair. Full wigs are a great option for completely switching up your look or covering advanced hair loss.
Hair toppers are smaller hairpieces that clip into your hair, only covering the top of your head. Since natural hair is exposed, hair toppers need to match the color and texture of the wearer’s natural hair. Toppers are a great option for adding volume or covering only a small amount of hair loss at the crown of the head.
Benefits of a Topper
While the choice between a full wig and a hair topper will be based on your individual needs and desired look, hair toppers offer quite a few benefits, including:
- Concealing minimal/early hair loss: If your hair loss is minimal, wearing a topper can be a quick and easy way to conceal it without dealing with a full wig.
- Protecting Your Natural Hair: Hair toppers are clipped in and lay on top of your hair, which means you have the option to only style the topper, giving your natural hair a break from heated tools and styling products.
- Lighter than wigs: Since hair toppers are so much smaller than full wigs, they often feel much lighter, making them a more comfortable option for everyday wear.
- Highly realistic: When you wear a topper, parts of your natural hair are left out. Hair toppers blend in seamlessly with your natural hair, giving them a very realistic look.
