If you’re looking for coverage for thinning hair or hair loss, hair toppers provide an excellent solution! While they provide amazing volume to the hair and help conceal hair loss, a common concern is how does a hair topper stay in place. Never fear! We prepared this guide to provide tips on different attachment methods to help keep your hair topper secure all day!
Attachment Methods for Hair Toppers
Use Clips to Keep Your Hair Topper In Place
Most hair toppers feature built-in pressure-sensitive clips that securely attach to your natural hair. While these clips provide a strong grip, it's important to attach the topper to hair that is strong enough to support it. Using clips on delicate or sparse hair may lead to breakage or further hair loss.
Adhesives & Tapes Provide Extra Security
If your hair topper lacks clips or requires additional security, adhesives and tapes offer a reliable alternative. They provide a strong hold for extended wear and are available in various types to suit different activities.
Before using tapes or adhesives, it's essential to consider the base material of your hair topper and its placement. Different tapes vary in adhesive strength, with some being more effective on polyurethane bases and others better suited for lace. Choosing the right tape ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
Style Your Topper Into Your Bio Hair
Another way to keep your hair topper in place is to integrate it with your bio hair. If the topper has a longer length, you can style it into a braid or ponytail. This method is perfect if you’ll be out all day or engaging in physical activities. See our guide on how to style your hair with a hair topper on.
Tips for Keeping Your Hair Topper Comfortably In Place
Choose the right topper size. When you wear a clip-in hair topper, it’s important to measure your head to determine the correct base size. This ensures that you are attaching the topper to hair that’s strong enough to hold the clips without breaking or damaging the hair.
Adjust the clips. If the clips feel like they are too tight and pull your hair, reposition and reclip your hair topper. Tension can accelerate hair loss in the areas where the clips are too tight.
Use Hairspray: Apply a small amount of hairspray and gently backcomb the section of hair where the clips will be attached. This creates a slightly rough texture to increase the hold of the clips and provide a more secure attachment.
Final Thoughts
Learning how to keep your hair topper in place is essential for a confident and natural look. Whether you choose built-in clips, adhesives, or styling techniques to blend the topper with your bio hair, selecting the right method ensures a secure and comfortable fit. By choosing the appropriate base size, adjusting clips as needed, and using styling aids like hairspray, you can enhance the stability of your topper while minimizing potential damage to your natural hair.
