Wigs & topper essential accessories

When you purchase ahair topper hair wig for the first time because you have androgenetic alopecia, you may sometimes feel a little lost about what you need to have on hand to feel comfortable with your product.

It is indeed important to know about the accessories that make our daily lives easier with a hair prosthesis. I have been wearing ahair topper hair over 5 years now. I have had the opportunity, particularly in the course of my work, to test many products from different brands, some more interesting than others, for maintaining my toppers wigs. In this article, discover the essential accessories that I recommend without hesitation!

Storing and styling yourhair topper hair wig

You can easily store yourhair topper hair wig every night in a box or small pouch, or even in a drawer. However, you will need to be careful about how the hair is shaped so that you don't end up with a bad crease that is difficult to fix 😉 No one wants to spend 30 minutes styling their alternative hair in the morning!

I therefore recommend placing yourhair topper hair wig on a cork wig head. This will help the hair retain its original shape and ensure it is ready to wear in the morning.

Thehair topper hair wig can be attached to the product using T-pins inserted through the clips.

I realize that having a wig head in the middle of your apartment might seem creepy at first glance 😉

But:

1) I assure you that you'll get used to it! Yes, yes, even your husband will get used to it.

and 2) you can get a small tripod that you can attach to a closet if you want something more discreet (which I can understand, even though I love showing off my foxes to anyone who wants to see them #thoughtsformyfrightenedneighbors)

The wig cap will be especially ESSENTIAL when you want to let your hair dry naturally, but above all when you want to blow dry, straighten, or curl yourhair. In my opinion, it's THE must-have item when you enter the wonderful world of alternative hair!

There are polystyrene wig heads available, which are slightly cheaper, but after trying them out, I find them to be of much lower quality and less pleasant to use on a daily basis.

The super girly pink tripod I use every day (if you have a large tripod at home to show off your hair every day to your family, which I obviously recommend 😉

Style yourhair topper hair wig

Now that you have your tripod to secure yourhair topper hair wig, you can finally style it easily.

You can let your hair dry naturally, blow dry it, or curl it with ease. That's the joy of natural hair—you can treat it just like your own!

For my part, I chose to use high-quality equipment because I handle a lot of products on a daily basis as part of my business selling toppers and wigs. So I quickly opted for the GHD brand, which for me is synonymous with efficiency, speed, and reliability (the devices heat up quickly and are durable).

For blow-drying, I use the GHD Air hair dryer.

Before wearing myhair topper , I often need to straighten my hair so that its texture blends in a little better with the very smooth hair of myhair topper . To do this, I use the GHD glide straightening brush, which I highly recommend as I have been using it for several years now. I also use it to quickly straighten my topper it has a bad crease, and it is very effective:

To curl the toppers and wigs on the site, I use the GHD Curve curling iron. After testing several different brands, including Remington and Dyson, which I do not recommend at all, this is my favorite because it heats up extremely quickly while being lightweight and very easy to use:

My two favorites for styling toppers: the GHD straightening brush and curling iron.

Everyday accessories

After a few months or years of use, one or more clips on topper may topper . They will then need to be replaced. I recommend using clips with pads. They will cause less damage and breakage to your hair:

I would always advise you to have spare clips so that you don't find yourself in a tricky situation if one of them breaks (they don't warn you ;)).

Clips with pads prevent hair breakage.

For women who want to wear a cap under their wig, I recommend soft caps with holes, as these make it easier to reposition your hair inside the cap once it is on your head, and they are very breathable. I personally use these caps in particular:

For brushing, I use a Tangle Teezer brush, which doesn't break my hair or the hair on toppers. For toppers and wigs with curly, wavy, or frizzy hair, wide-toothed combs allow you to comb the hair without breaking the curls.

In addition, I use combs. They help me position my model, especially to bring out a few strands at the front.

Taking care of your model

After several months or years of wear, if your model's hair becomes dry, you can apply Silicon Mix or any mask for very dry hair. This will smooth and moisturize the hair fiber.

With all this, you can take care of yourhair topper hair wig every day with complete peace of mind. You can, of course, use other brands to care for your product without any problems. The important thing is to find the ones that suit you best and allow you to feel comfortable with your new hair!

  1. Hello, Laure,

    Thank you for this article, which is a real survival kit for beginners to toppers , myself included.

    I have a quick question about GHD accessories (straighteners and curling irons). Their heating temperature is 185 degrees.
    Isn't there a risk that this temperature, even when used occasionally, could damage the hair on topper? It's always tricky to find a compromise between effectiveness (quality of straightening or curling) and hair health. When you invest in beautiful hair, you want it to last as long as possible. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject.

    Thank you for the content you create every day about toppers !

    See you soon,

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.

We offer toppers a density between 120 and 130%. This density is considered standard among international brands.

The hair is straight. Except when it is indicated in the product description and title that the model is naturally wavy or curly.

The lifespan of a topper in part on how well it is cared for. The typical lifespan is between one and two years. To extend the lifespan of your topper, do not wash it too frequently.

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. So, if you are unsure between two shades of hair color, it is best to choose the lighter shade.
