Hair toppers are an incredible solution for adding volume and coverage, but a common challenge many face is keeping their topper looking natural and flat. If your topper tends to puff up or sit awkwardly, don’t worry—here are some simple tips to keep it sleek and seamless.
A well-fitting topper base is key.
If the base is too small, it can pull on your bio hair, causing it to lift. Opt for a base size that is at least an inch or two larger than the area you want to cover. Measuring your area of hair loss is key!
Position It Correctly
Proper placement makes all the difference. Align the topper with your natural hair part and gently clip it down. Start with the front clips and then secure the back to avoid any bumps.
Style Your Bio Hair First
Ensure your natural hair underneath is as flat as possible, which helps the topper sit flush. Blow dry your hair with a paddle brush as opposed to letting it dry naturally, especially if you have curly or wavy hair.
Thin the Topper If Needed
Sometimes, a topper has excess volume, making it look bulky. Take it to a professional hairstylist who can thin it out and customize it to your preferences.
Use Heat Styling Wisely
If your topper is made from heat-friendly synthetic fibers or human hair, a flat iron can help reduce puffiness. Use low heat and smooth small sections at a time to create a sleek finish.
With the right techniques, you can ensure your hair topper blends beautifully with your natural hair and lies perfectly flat. A little customization and proper placement go a long way in achieving a flawless, natural look!
