Can You Shower With a Topper On

Hair toppers are a fantastic solution for those looking to add volume or cover thinning areas. However, if you’ve recently started wearing a topper, you might wonder whether it’s safe to shower with it on. The short answer is no, it's generally not recommended to shower with a hair topper on. Here’s why:

  • Water Damage: Both human hair and synthetic fiber toppers can become dry and tangled if they’re washed too frequently. It is recommended to wash your topper every 6-8 wears using lukewarm or cool water and care products specifically formulated for the fiber.

  • Hair Loss From Tension:  Showering with a topper on can cause the clips to pull on your natural hair underneath, which can lead to further hair loss or traction alopecia.

  • Weakened Clips: If you attach your topper with clips, they can potentially loosen and become detached.

  • Leave Some Hair Out: Leave out some hair around the front and sides to blend with the topper if needed.

Washing your topper separately will help to maintain its longevity, but if you need to shower with your topper on, consider wearing a shower cap or clipping your hair up.
In conclusion, it’s best to remove your topper before stepping into the shower to keep it in prime condition!
