Are Hair Toppers Hard to Put On?
Hair toppers are a popular solution for adding volume, covering thinning areas, or enhancing your natural look. If you're new to them, you might wonder, “Are they hard to put on?” The good news is, with a little practice, hair toppers are easy to apply and can become a seamless part of your routine!
The Basics of Applying a Hair Topper
Prep Your Hair: Brush your natural hair to remove any tangles. For added grip, tease the area where you’ll place the topper clips or use a little dry shampoo.
Position the Topper: Align the topper with the area you want to cover, making sure that your topper clips are landing in areas of your hair that are strong enough to attach to without causing damage. (Clipping to fragile strands can cause further hair loss to an already-thinning scalp)
Secure the Clips: Snap the clips in place, starting from the front and working your way back. This ensures a secure fit. If you feel any discomfort from the clips, unclip and try again until the fit is comfortable.
Blend and Style: Blend the topper with your natural hair by brushing or styling. You can curl or straighten it if it's made from heat-friendly fibers or real human hair.
Are They Difficult for Beginners?
For first-timers, it might take a few tries to get the placement just right. The key is to practice. Once you’re familiar with the process, putting on a hair topper will take only a few minutes.
Tips for Success
Choose the Right Topper:
- Measure your area of hair loss or thinning, then choose a topper base size with enough coverage for that area.
- Ensure the topper matches your hair color, texture, and length for a natural look. Utilizing a color ring for the brand you’re interested in is a great place to start!
Practice Patience: The first application might feel tricky, but don't get discouraged. You'll improve with practice.
Use a Mirror: A hand mirror can help you check the back for a flawless finish.
