Are Hair Toppers Damaging to Your Hair? 

First things first, measure your area of hair loss (or area of coverage) accurately to choose the right base size. Wearing a topper that's too small can accelerate hair loss. So, take the time to measure the area that needs coverage and select a topper base that extends 1” beyond the perimeter of your hair loss. Always add an inch to the width and length measurements to ensure a secure fit. Remember to recheck your measurements every six months for any changes.

How to Apply / Remove

Proper application and removal are key to a comfortable topper. To ensure the clips don't pull or strain your hair, follow these steps: 

How to Avoid Discomfort 

If you experience any pain or pulling, unclip and reattach until all the clips are comfortable. To remove the topper, simply undo each clip from back to front and gently peel it away from your scalp. Check out our tutorial for a more detailed guide on application and removal!

Avoid sleeping with clip-in toppers attached to minimize tension on your hair. We understand that sometimes it's unavoidable, but sleeping with a topper can cause traction alopecia. If you can't remove it, use a scrunchie to gather your hair into a low ponytail, reducing stress from the clips. If you have shorter hair, a stretchy cloth headband can help keep your topper in place while you sleep. To be clear, we do not recommend sleeping in your hair topper, these tips are only offered in cases of emergencies. 

As long as you wear a topper that provides sufficient coverage and know how to attach and remove it correctly, your hairpiece will fit comfortably without any issues.
