Can You Use Hair Spray on a Hair Topper?
One of the most common questions we get is: Can you use hairspray on a hair topper? The answer depends on the type of topper and the hairspray you choose.
Hair toppers are made from two types of fibers: synthetic and human hair. Human hair toppers are made from real, naturally sourced human hair and can be styled just like your natural hair. Synthetic toppers are crafted with man-made fibers that look and feel like natural hair. However, synthetic fibers require specially formulated care products for alternative hair to prevent damage.
Using Hairspray on Human Hair Toppers
What’s great about human hair toppers is that you can use your own hairspray on the fibers. However, to preserve the life of your hair topper, we have a few recommendations to keep your style looking fresh and fabulous:
Use Alternative Hair Styling Products:
When you style your human hair topper, ensure the hair spray is specially made for alternative human hair fibers. We love BeautiMark’sVelvet Spray Gel for human hair toppers!
Use Lightweight, Flexible Hold Sprays:
Toppers may appear stiff and unnatural if you use heavy or strong-hold sprays on the fibers.
Wash Your Topper Regularly:
Product buildup can shorten the lifespan of your topper. Be sure to wash your hair topper with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo or alternative human hair shampoo.
Using Hairspray on Synthetic Hair Toppers
When selecting a hairspray for synthetic toppers, always use a product specifically designed for alternative hair. Regular hairsprays designed for human hair can damage synthetic fibers. To keep your synthetic topper looking its best and extend its lifespan, follow these tips:
Use a Hairspray Specifically for Synthetic Hair:
Using the wrong formula on your synthetic topper will dull the fibers and ruin your hair piece. Therefore, always check and make sure the hairspray is made for alternative synthetic hair.
Spray Sparingly:
Avoid using too much product on the hair topper. It can make the fibers stiff and unnatural-looking.
Final Thoughts
Yes, you can use hairspray on your hair topper, but it’s crucial to select the right product and apply it sparingly. Always determine whether your topper is human hair or synthetic, and choose products tailored to its specific needs. By taking proper care, you can keep your hair topper looking fresh, natural, and long-lasting.
