Are hair toppers bad for your hair?

These are common concerns that often arise before purchasing a hair topper, and for many, these worries can create hesitation.

There is actually no necessary correlation between wearing hair toppers and hair loss. Hair toppers are designed to aid those experiencing hair loss in regaining full hair, and any hair loss that may occur as a result of wearing hair toppers is often due to incorrect application, which is an unlikely occurrence.

Today, we'd love to share with you some dos and don'ts about wearing toppers to get the best topper experience.

1. Pick a Larger Base Size for Better Comfort & Blending

When selecting a hair topper, it's always best to go slightly larger than your hair loss area. A larger base is more beginner-friendly, as it blends more easily and distributes pressure over a wider area, preventing stress on fragile hair. Choosing a topper that’s too small may clip onto thinning areas, causing discomfort and potential damage.

2. Handle Your Hair Gently—Your Topper Won’t Cause Breakage

While wearing a topper correctly won’t harm your natural hair, handling it too aggressively can. Be gentle when clipping it in and removing it to protect your bio hair. If applied properly, a topper should feel comfortable and enhance your look without causing breakage.

3. Opt for Pressure-Sensitive Clips If You Have a Sensitive Scalp

If you have a sensitive scalp, choosing pressure-sensitive clips for your hair topper is the best option. These clips provide a secure yet gentle grip, minimizing discomfort and reducing tension on fragile hair. They are designed to stay in place without pulling, making them ideal for daily wear and preventing further irritation.


4. Style Your Topper on a Mannequin Head for Better Control & Hair Protection

We don’t recommend blow-drying or styling your topper while it’s attached to your head, as any pulling or movement can put unnecessary strain on your natural hair. Instead, use a cork or styrofoam mannequin head, securing it with a clamp, tripod, or pins for stability. This allows you to style freely without tugging on your bio hair.

Choosing and styling a hair topper the right way ensures both comfort and longevity. Opting for a larger base size, using pressure-sensitive clips, and styling on a mannequin head can help protect your natural hair while achieving a seamless look. Remember, gentle handling is key—when applied correctly, a topper should enhance your hair without causing damage.
