A topper is a lightweight hairpiece that covers specific thinning areas such as your crown or parting line. It adds volume and targeted coverage without the heaviness of a full wig and it blends with your natural hair so it doesn't look like you're wearing a separate piece.

It depends on where you're thinning;

• Small bases (4"×5" or 5"×6") handle parting line thinning. 
• Medium bases (5"×6" or 6"×7") are good for crown thinning. 
• Large bases (6"×8"+) give you wider coverage if you've got thinning across multiple areas. 

Use a soft measuring tape on the widest part of your thinning area to better understand what you need. Or, book a free consultation where our specialists will measure your scalp and recommend exactly what you need.

Not at all, in fact, they can actually help protect your hair by cutting down on daily heat styling and harsh treatments. The key is putting them on and taking them off properly, which is why our clips are designed to grip without pulling, and we recommend teasing your hair slightly before clipping to reduce tension. Done correctly, toppers are an effective and protective styling method.

Absolutely - real Remy human hair toppers behave like natural hair so you can blow-dry, straighten, curl and colour them. You can’t use heat on synthetic toppers as the fibres can melt or frizz. Always use heat protectant spray on real hair toppers to keep moisture in and prevent damage.

How long yours lasts depends on how often you wear it and how well you maintain it. Real Remy human hair toppers typically last 2-3 years with regular wear and proper care, some go even longer if you treat them well or wear them less often. Synthetic ones last about 4-6 months if you're wearing them daily. Check out our detailed care guides on how best to look after your wig.

Most people find their toppers stay put throughout the day, even if they're active. Our clips grip firmly without slipping and for all-day wear, we recommend teasing your hair lightly where the clips attach. Our specialists will be happy to show you proper application techniques during your consultation.

Quality toppers, especially real Remy human hair with monofilament or lace front bases, blend so well that most people won't notice a thing. The trick is matching your colour to your roots, not your ends and our team will work with you to get this spot-on, which means nobody will know you're wearing anything.

Real hair toppers can last 2-3 years or longer with proper care, so most customers keep the same topper for a long time. Synthetic toppers typically need replacing every 4-6 months if you're wearing them daily. How long yours lasts comes down to how often you wear it and how well you look after it. We also provide maintenance guides to help you get the most out of your topper.
