All You Need To Know About Hair Toppers

In the ever-evolving world of haircare and beauty, people seeking solutions for hair thinning or loss have found a game-changer in hair toppers.
These versatile hairpieces offer a natural-looking boost to your hair, providing confidence and a renewed sense of style. 

But First, What Are Hair Toppers?

Hair toppers are non-surgical hairpieces (like hair extensions) designed to cover hair loss or thinning on the scalp area. They come in various sizes and styles,  allowing users to seamlessly integrate them with their existing hair based on their specific needs. 
For example, those looking to cover a small area of thinning only around their hair parting, can opt for a simple light weight piece like the Nish Hair Scalp Line Topper. But for those looking to cover a larger area of thinking and get a natural looking volume may want to opt for Nish Hair's Best Hair Topper. 

Who Should Use Hair Toppers?

Hair toppers are suitable for a diverse range of individuals facing different hair challenges. Whether you're experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning, dealing with postpartum hair loss, or simply looking to add extra volume and style to your hair, a hair topper could be the perfect solution. They are versatile enough to cater to various needs, including hiding grey roots, making them an excellent choice for both men and women.

Synthetic vs. Human Hair Toppers; What do I choose?

One of the key decisions when choosing a hair topper is whether to opt for synthetic or human hair. Synthetic hair toppers are budget-friendly and low-maintenance, offering pre-styled options that retain their shape. On the other hand, human hair toppers provide a more natural look and feel, allowing for styling versatility similar to your own hair.
Another key difference is longevity. Synthetic hair toppers can be easily damaged and if you wear them regularly, they will last you anywhere from 3-6months. However human hair toppers can last you anywhere from 1 to 3 years depending on how you maintain and care for it. 

Personally, we recommend wearing natural looking Human hair toppers as they give the best results and are undetectable if worn correctly. 

What is The Main Advantage of Using a Hair Topper?

The benefits of using a hair topper extend beyond addressing hair loss. These versatile accessories instantly boost your confidence, allowing you to embrace various hairstyles without the commitment of a full wig.  
They are lightweight, breathable, and blend seamlessly with your natural hair, and are often the only piece of extension you need to meet all your hair demands. Plus if you are lazy to get your roots touched up, you can use a hair topper to hide your grey roots as well.

Now the Important Part, How to Maintain a Hair Topper?

Proper maintenance is crucial to ensuring the longevity and appearance of your hair topper. Regular washing, gentle detangling, and proper storage are essential steps.

While caring for a human hair topper, we recommend using mild, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and avoid excessive heat styling or using het protectant serums to preserve the quality of human hair.

How Long Does a Topper Last?

The lifespan of a hair topper depends on various factors, including the quality of the material, maintenance routine, and frequency of use. Generally, synthetic hair toppers last around 4-6 months, while human hair toppers can endure anywhere form one to 3 years based on how well you care for them and store them.

Don'ts:

1. Don't Neglect Your Natural Hair:

   • Don't ignore the health of your natural hair. It's important to maintain the health of your existing hair underneath the topper. Regular care and conditioning will prevent damage and breakage.
     
     

2. Avoid Excessive Heat Styling:

   • Don't subject the hair topper to excessive heat styling. While human hair toppers can be heart styles, too much heat can damage even them. Use low heat settings or use heat protectant serums before styling.
     
     

3. Don't Skip Regular Cleaning:

   • Don't neglect cleaning your hair topper regularly. Product buildup, sweat, and environmental factors can affect its appearance and lifespan. Nish Hair recommends gently washing the topper with sulphate free shampoo and conditioner every 15-20 wears.

   • Don't hesitate to seek professional help when it comes to choosing, fitting, colouring or styling your hair topper. Speak to a hair expert from Nish Hair or a professional hairstylist with experience in working with hair toppers before making a decision to ensure you achieve the best possible results.

Toppers vs. Wigs

While wigs cover the entire head, hair toppers offer a more targeted solution, making them suitable for individuals with localised hair loss or thinning. Toppers provide a natural and seamless integration with your existing hair, allowing for a more personalised and realistic look. The choice between a topper and a wig ultimately depends on the extent of hair loss and personal preferences.
Unlike full wigs, which cover the entire head, hair toppers are strategically placed to add volume, conceal thinning spots, or enhance overall hair aesthetics.

In conclusion, hair toppers are a revolutionary solution for those grappling with hair loss or seeking a style upgrade. Whether you opt for synthetic or human hair, these versatile pieces offer a natural-looking enhancement that boosts confidence and allows for effortless styling. By understanding the dos and don'ts of maintenance and choosing the right type of topper for your needs, you can enjoy a renewed sense of beauty and self-assurance.
