How much should a human hair topper cost?
Human hair toppers provide ultimate realism and stylability, however they are more of an investment than synthetic toppers with prices ranging from $300 all the way up to $3,000. When it comes to a natural-looking hairpiece, spending more for a quality hair topper can be 100% worth it. It’s important to understand the “why” behind human hair pricing, so let’s break down some of the factors that contribute to its cost:
Supply
Natural hair is a more limited resource than synthetic hair, and longer hair lengths are especially harder to source. Materials that are harder to find will always be higher in price.
Labor
Natural hair is a more limited resource than synthetic hair, and longer hair lengths are especially harder to source. Materials that are harder to find will always be higher in price.
Longevity
Human hair lasts longer than synthetic fiber– with proper care and daily wear, you can expect your hairpiece to last for around a year, whereas synthetic hairpieces typically last around 3-6 months.
Stylability
Styling options are endless with human hair. You can blow dry it, flat iron it or curl it to match whatever look you’re going for, and just like your natural hair, you can wash it out to start over with a blank canvas.
We hope this information helps provide you with more insight as to why human hair toppers have a higher price tag. The bottom line is, the more natural a hairpiece looks, the more it’s usually going to cost.
