We know wearing a hair topper can be life-changing — but like anything new, there’s a learning curve. Recently, we gathered some of the most common questions from our topper-wearing community and answered them with care, based on real experiences and expert tips.

Let’s dive into your most asked topper concerns — and how to fix them like a pro.

My Halo-Wire Keeps Sliding Up — What Can I Do?

If your halo wire is riding up, it’s likely too tight.

• Try loosening the wire slightly to let it rest more naturally.
• Add a small clip at the nape area to anchor it in place.
• Make a small braid underneath for a better grip

Once adjusted, the wire should stay secure without tension.

Why Won’t My Lace Front Lay Flat?

For a small number of hair topper wearers, the lace front may not sit flush.

Here’s why it happens — and how to fix it:

Your forehead shape may be pointy

You might have a lot of bio hair around the front

Try this:

• Adjust the halo wire — it may be too loose
• Add a little adhesive or tape
• Wear the lace closer to your natural hairline and blend like a regular topper
• Cut in bangs to help cover the edge
• Choose a smaller base size or sew down the lace edge slightly

The Color Looks Too Warm — Can I Use Blue or Purple Shampoo?

They may works a little, but we recommend doing as following:

• Exchange it for a cooler shade
• Customize a cooler-toned topper
• Take it to your stylist and tone or color-adjust as needed

Can I Go Through Airport Security Wearing a Hair Topper?

Yes, absolutely! Many wearers have passed through airport security with no problem.

Occasionally, clips of your hair topper may trigger the metal detector — but it’s typically resolved quickly.

The Clips Feel Uncomfortable — Any Tips?

Our clips on hair toppers are pressure-sensitive and designed for comfort — but we know that doesn’t work for everyone. If your scalp is sensitive, try:

• Replacing front clips with a halo-wire or Velcro strip
• Add some adhesive or tapes in front
• Stick medical tape or soft padding under clips for extra comfort
• Comb your hair back to add volume and reduce clip friction

I Cut the Lace Too Close to the Hairline — What Now?

No worries — you still have options!

• Add a halo-wire
• Use lace tape or adhesive to hold it in place
• Cut bangs to help conceal the front edge naturally
• Seek out wig and topper repair shops in your area.

Can I Dye the Roots Without Staining the Base?

Yes, with care! To dye the roots without staining the lace:

• Apply a thick layer of Vaseline, barrier cream or professional lace protectant films under the lace
• Always test on a small, hidden area first
