Unboxing tips

Your hair topper is on its way to you, and we wanted to share some tips and tricks to ensure you achieve a super natural look when you wear it.

1. Prep

  • Take a Deep Breath: Open the box, and carefully remove the hair topper.

  • Prep the Hair Topper: Shake or finger comb the hair topper before putting it on. 

  • Practice Using the Clips: Make sure all clips on the hair topper are “open.” Practice opening and closing them to get comfortable with how they work. 

2. Position & Adjust!

Positioning

Positioning: Hold the hair topper upside down (by the pressure-sensitive clips) with the front hairline facing you. Place it on top of your head in the desired area of coverage, adjusting the part if necessary. You can place the hair topper right at the hairline, or up to 2” behind your hairline

Secure Proper Clip Placement

Secure Proper Clip Placement: Once your hair topper in your preferred position, starting with the front clip, scoop your hair and close the clip. Check position of hair topper and flatten the top of your hair topper before closing the next clip, slowly repeating each time until you have closed all of the clips. work your way to the back clips, pressing down firmly on the topper before closing each clip. Remember to push down on top of your hair topper vs pulling or stretch the hair topper when applying. If the clips are too tight and are pulling your hair, reposition and reclip or the tension could accelerate hair loss in the areas where the clips are too tight.  

Adjust as Needed

Adjust as Needed: Make any necessary adjustments, including parting the hair topper to your liking. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the hair topper on properly.  

Smooth Out Tousled Areas

Smooth Out Tousled Areas: Use a bit of water if you need to smooth down areas that may have gotten touseled during transport.  

*Removal Instructions

  • Unclip: Open each clip carefully.

  • Be Gentle: Avoid pulling your hair while removing the topper by focusing on each clip and gently peeling off the hair.

  • Storage: When not in use, carefully set your hair topper on a wig stand to maintain its shape, and allows for proper air flow.

3. Style!

Heat Styling

Heat Styling: If heat styling is required, remove the hair topper and place it on a canvas block head to style. Avoid styling it while it's attached to your head to prevent tension-related issues like hair loss if over pull on one of the clips.   

The Art of Making Your Hair Topper Look Natural

The Art of Making Your Hair Topper Look Natural: Use a shadow matching the root of the hair topper to create a seamless transition between your natural hairline and the topper. A matte shadow similar to your eyebrow color often works well.
