Step-by-Step Breakdown
- Brush
Gently brush your Topper to remove any tangles and get it ready for application.
- Prepare your hair for application
Style your hair as desired, ensuring you are happy with the location of your part. Then gently smooth your hair into a low ponytail or bun and secure it with a hair elastic.
- Apply the Topper to your head
Ensure the clips are closed before application. Place the Topper around your neck with the band at the back and behind your ears. Pull the Topper gently away from your face and up towards your head, and then flip it gently over to rest on top of your head.
- Clip the Topper in place.
Align the Topper with your part line and ensure it is positioned to cover the area you want. Pop the front clips open one at a time and apply them in a small "scooping" motion so the clip grabs gently onto your hair. Pop the clip closed. Repeat on the other side.
- Secure the Topper in place.
Gently tug the Topper from the back to sit in place, ensuring there are no ripples in the Topper and it lies flat to your head. Pop the back clips open one at a time and apply them using the same process as the front clips.
- Adjust the Topper as needed
Make any small adjustments to the placement, band size, and application. Take your hair out of its low ponytail and use your hands to pull it out to fall naturally out from under the Topper.
- Optional: Apply Tape
Flip the front edge of your Topper up and remove the paper backing to expose the tape. Press the tape securely down to your skin and hold for a few seconds to ensure adhesion.
- Style your Topper
Gently brush the Topper together with your hair and style to your preference!
Blending Tips
- Before first application, dampen the Topper and blow dry it upside-down on a low temperature to add some natural volume and shape
- Decide in advance where you want to place your Topper:
- Side parted hair may mean you shift your Topper slightly to one side to align the parts
- If you would like your hairline to extend forward from where it is, place it in front of your hairline
- If your hairline has only short, fine, and/or sparse hair, you may prefer to place the Topper at the hairline
- If you do not need additional fullness at the hairline, you may prefer to apply the Topper behind your hairline so it adds more fullness towards the crown instead.
- To help conceal the edge of your Topper, you can pull fringe pieces of your hair forward from under the Topper and style them back to blend into the Topper's fringe
- For a totally customized blend and some professional help, take your Topper to a trusted hair stylist or topper specialist
- If you need to shift the part line on the Topper, wet the hair down, create a new part line with a rattail comb, and then use a blow dryer and straightener on a low setting to style the new part into place
- Tape placements are customizable! Adjust your tape size and placement based on where you need the security to your scalp
