Why Do I Need to Customize My Hair Topper?
So you’ve picked out your hair topper, making sure the color match and fit are perfect, but when it arrives and you try it on, you find that it doesn’t look quite right. You’re wondering why it looks different from the model photos online. Here’s the deal – toppers usually need a little help to blend into your biological hair. The key is customization and we’ll share some of the most popular ways you can customize your new hair.
DISCLAIMER: First we want to start with a disclaimer! We don’t recommend breaking out your kitchen shears at home on your own. It’s always best to take your hairpiece to a professional stylist who is experienced in working with toppers. Now that we got that out of the way, here’s how a stylist can help:
Wash & blow out
Your hairpiece will likely look pretty flat right out of the box which can easily be fixed by washing it and giving it a fresh blow out.
Cut & blend
Cutting in face framing layers and blending the topper into your bio hair is another trick to making a hairpiece your own. It might even be a must if you have a shorter hairstyle whereas with longer, layered hairstyles you can often get away with skipping this step.
