Everything you need to know about toppers

We all dream of proudly sporting gorgeous, voluptuous movie star hair. Except that in real life, between fine hair, alopecia, alopecia areata, and hair loss, we understand that Mother Nature hasn't been so generous to all of us. Our hair is our most charming asset, and it goes without saying that our self-confidence takes a serious blow when our scalp becomes increasingly sparse.

However, all hope of (re)gaining dream hair is not lost for us. If you are not yet familiar with toppers , I will explain everything to you. After all, who better than a woman wearing ahair topper hair tell you about it?

Let's put an end to complexes!

Are you one of those people who spend hours in front of the mirror trying to hide your thinning hair? You're not alone—I used to be one of them too. But that was before I discovered the world ofhair topper hair

hair topper hair the simplest, easiest, and fastest solution for immediate and reliable results. No glue or adhesives are required: they do not damage the hair as they are attached using clip-in combs and a central comb. In just a few clicks, you'll have a head of hair worthy of the name. Of course, the first few steps will certainly be hesitant, even uncertain. But don't worry, I'll explain everythinghere. Once you get the hang of it, it will take just a few seconds to put on.

The revenge of hair supplements

Highly popular in the United States,hair topper hair still not widely used in France. This is due to the negative connotations associated with all hair accessories, which are often wrongly lumped together. Hairpieces, toupees, wigs: they all have a bad reputation and remind us of an unflattering image from a time when they were crudely made and looked anything but natural.

But those days are gone. The unsightly "moumoutes" of the past have given way to high-quality, virtually invisible hairpieces. Nowadays, wigs and toppers blend perfectly with your own hair for a natural, undetectable effect. Unlike a wig, which covers the entire head, ahair topper ishair placed on the top of the scalp. Its purpose? To blend harmoniously with your natural hair to add volume without damaging it.

toppers from Comme un diadème

Ahair topper ,hair , but not just any hair topper. With the Comme un diadème collection, I am committed to offering you only high-quality products at prices that are much more affordable than those found in French hair salons. As you know, I have been wearing toppers for several years now, so I am very demanding when it comes to their quality. The result must be as natural as possible and blend perfectly with the hair, while being comfortable to wear every day.

High-quality hair

All toppers offered by Comme un diadème are made with natural Brazilian Remy hair. 

The term "Remy" is a label of quality. It means that the hair and cuticles of each strand are oriented in the same direction on the topper. In addition to being distinguished by their softness and shine, they have the advantage of not tangling and lasting longer. Conversely, "non-Rémy" hair will tangle and damage more easily because it is assembled in bulk. This second-rate hair should therefore be avoided if you want smooth, shiny hair.

A Silk top base

Ah, the Silk Top! I've already mentioned it in numerous videos. So what exactly is it? It's simply a piece of silk that mimics the scalp and is placed on top of toppers . The hair, which is integrated by hand, is knotted under the silk, completely hiding the knots. The result is completely natural and undetectable, as it mimics a real scalp. No matter where you place your part, the illusion will be complete.

Various basic sizes

toppers such as tiaras are available with wide bases:

• 15X15 (6X6 in US size)
• 15X18 (6X7 in US size)
• 18X18 (7X7 in US size)
• 20X20 (8X8 in US size)
• 23X23 (9X9 in US size)

Why? Because for women like me who want to cover up thinning areas, wide, flat bases are more suitable. This prevents the clip from catching on bald spots. It's also important to note that the wider the base, the more density it provides. So take the time to think about the type of coverage you want. At first, some women don't want to add too much density to their hair, so they prefer to start with toppers with a smaller base, such as a 15X15 or 15X18.

toppers with a 20x20 or 23x23 base are a good solution for women who have diffuse alopecia or who no longer have enough hair on the top of their head to attach the topper. This is because the wider base will extend further down the back of the head and therefore clip more easily onto areas where there is more hair.

For more details, here's how to choose your base size. However, don't panic about this: either one will work just as well for you. Personally, I wear 15X18, 18X18, 20X20, and 23X23 bases, and all four suit me fine.

Natural hair density

Comme un Diadème offers toppers made from straight orwavy hair, with a density generally ranging from 120 to 130%. The goal here is to achieve natural, realistic volume that suits you. Density refers to the amount of hair implanted in a specific area. The higher the density, the fuller the hair will be. Comme un Diadème also offers toppers a density of 150% for those who love volume.

A wide range of hair colors

No two people have the same shade of brown or blonde. We know that the nuances can sometimes be subtle. That's why Comme un diadème offers several shades of blonde, chestnut, and brown for your toppers . In addition to the photos available on the Comme un diadème website, I regularly post videos of toppers on myInstagram page. I strongly encourage you to watch them before making a purchase, as it is easier to see the exact color in the videos. If you are unsure between two colors, I recommend choosing the lighter one, as it will blend better with your complexion, especially for brunettes. In addition, it will be easier to have it darkened later by a colorist.

For women with very little hair or alopecia,hair topper hair suitable as a minimum amount of hair is required to secure them with clips. In this case, opt for wigsfrom Comme un diadème, which also offer a very natural look.

As you can see, flat or thinning hair will soon be a distant memory. The hardest part will obviously be choosing! So, are you ready to rediscover yourself with toppers ?
