Wig orhair topper : Which to choose?

1 comment / Uncategorized / By

It’s not always easy to know what’s best for you when you’re buying a hair prosthesis hair the first time. In fact, it’s important to consider various factors in order to make an informed decision. In this article, I’ll explain how to choose between these two types of products based on your type of hair loss.

hair topper : the best choice for moderate androgenetic alopecia.

The topper with your hair for a very natural look

A hair topper a hair prosthesis that is particularly well-suited for classic androgenetic alopecia. It blends seamlessly with your own hair for a natural, completely undetectable look. As long as a woman has enough hair to clip the topper in, I believe it remains the best option for comfort (it’s lighter to wear than a wig and therefore less restrictive in daily life).

But what exactly does “enough hair” mean? You can have very severe androgenetic alopecia and still have no trouble securing your topper I’m a prime example of this). On the other hand, if the scalp is really very thin, with almost no hair left (the scalp is very visible), you should consider a wig instead. Because without enough hair, thehair topper hair tend to slip, which is very uncomfortable.

The wig

Very advanced androgenetic alopecia

As explained earlier, it is best to opt for a wig in cases of very advanced androgenetic alopecia. If the scalp is extremely thin, the topper will topper stay in place and will further weaken the area affected by hair loss.

Alopecia areata

In cases of alopecia areata, a wig is also recommended. Since patches of alopecia areata can change in size and location over time, the topper no longer clip securely in certain areas after a few months, making it less secure. However, if the patch is very small and appears unlikely to change, ahair topper may be a viable option. This is because switching directly to a wig isn’t always easy psychologically, and this is also a factor to consider. If the patch does change, the clip will need to be unstitched and reattached in an area unaffected by alopecia to ensure the topper stays securely in place.

Total or universal alopecia

In cases of total or universal alopecia (complete absence of hair), a wig is the only option to consider.

Hair loss caused by cancer treatments

Cancer treatments can cause complete hair loss. In such cases, a wig is recommended instead of ahair topper .

Trichotillomania

In cases of trichotillomania, ahair topper hair wig may be considered depending on the extent of hair loss. If there is significant hair loss on the top of the head—even if the hairline is unaffected—a wig is the preferred option.

Sensitivity to clips

Some women have a particularly sensitive scalp and cannot tolerate the clips on ahair topper . In this case, the Sensitive Grip or a wig may be a good option. A wig has two clips that attach above the ears. This area is generally less sensitive than the top of the head. If the wig is the right size, it’s also possible to skip using these two clips.

So you can change up your hairstyle whenever you feel like it!

Finally, if you love the unmatched volume that a wig provides or want to easily change your hair color or length without touching your own hair, a wig is the perfect choice!

    Hello,
    I’ve just discovered I have alopecia. For now, even though I have three bald spots in my hair, I’m able to hide them, but in my mind I already see myself as practically bald! What do you think of topper wigs? Aren’t they uncomfortable? Have you had any problems, for example, with the wig being pulled or coming off, etc.? Can you pin your hair down?
    Thank you

We use natural Brazilian "Remy" hair. The term "Remy" means that the hair and cuticles of the strand are oriented in the same direction on the topper. This is in contrast to non-Remy hair, which is assembled in bulk. As a result, it is more prone to tangling and damage.

You should choose the basic size of the topper the extent of your alopecia and the hair density you wish to achieve. It is preferable that the clips are not attached in the area of alopecia, as the scalp may be quite sensitive. In addition, extensive alopecia will require a high hair density to compensate for the low initial density.

For extensive alopecia, we recommend bases measuring 18 × 18 cm or 20 × 20 cm. These bases will provide effective coverage, density, and comfort. Larger bases are available for very extensive alopecia.

Smaller bases (15×15 cm) will give your hair a little less density. But they will make it easier to tie your hair up in a high ponytail.

To determine your wig size, please refer to the chart below.

The topper be brushed carefully after wearing. It is convenient to place it on a wig head. This prevents the hair from becoming creased before the next use.

Hair should not be washed too frequently. Every 4 weeks or more is a good frequency. Close the clips before washing the hair and detangle the hair before and after washing. You can use a mild shampoo for colored hair followed by conditioner. Orchid Oil shampoo and Brazilian Keratin conditioner have proven to be effective!

Every four shampoos, you can apply Silicon Mix, available on Amazon. This will restore your hair's original shine.

The hair used toppers generally undergone complex bleaching and coloring processes before reaching its final color. This hair has therefore been sensitized. It may react unexpectedly to a coloring or bleaching process. It is generally possible to darken a topper. However, bleaching is not recommended as it could damage the hair.
