Why Is My Hair Topper Frizzy

Lack of Moisture: Just like natural hair, a topper can become dry and frizzy due to a lack of moisture. Human hair toppers need regular conditioning, while synthetic hair requires specialized products designed for synthetic fibers to retain smoothness.

Heat and Environmental Factors: Exposure to heat, humidity, or dry weather can make both human and synthetic hair toppers frizz up. Using heat-styling tools without a protective spray or leaving your topper in direct sunlight for long periods can contribute to the problem.

Product Buildup: Overusing hair products like hairspray, mousse, or dry shampoo can create buildup, causing the strands to appear frizzy and dull. Regular washing every 6-8 wears and using proper care products formulated for the fiber can help prevent this.

Improper Care Routine: Brushing your topper with a regular hair brush can cause damage and frizz. It’s best to use a wide-tooth comb for gentle detangling, especially when dealing with synthetic fibers.

Age of the Topper: Over time, hair toppers, especially synthetic ones, tend to lose their smooth texture and become frizzy with regular wear. Human hair toppers can also dry out over time if not cared for properly.

Deep Condition: For human hair toppers, use a deep-conditioning treatment to restore moisture. BeautiMark Intensive Recovery Conditioner can be used as an overnight mask for softness and shine. For synthetic toppers, use a leave-in conditioner designed specifically for synthetic hair.

Avoid Heat: Limit your topper’s exposure to heat and UV rays, and always use a heat protection spray if styling with tools such as blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons.

Detangle Gently: Use a wide-tooth comb and detangle your topper gently, starting from the ends and working your way up to prevent breakage. Use BeautiMark Smooth Detangler on synthetic fibers which helps the comb glide through the fiber and reduce pulling.
