As one of UniWigs’ best hair toppers for women, the Upgrade Aura skin topper has been loved so much for its realistic appearance and affordable price! However, if you have limited experience wearing and blending hair toppers for thinning hair, you may find it takes a bit more effort to achieve a completely natural look. But don’t worry—in today’s blog, we’ll break down everything you need to know about fit, style, and care to wear your topper with confidence!

Learn About the Upgrade Aura Hair Topper

The Upgrade Aura hair topper features a 7.5”x7.5” skin top cap with wefting that creates an ultra-realistic scalp appearance. Its key upgrade is a larger, flexible parting area, allowing versatile styling. The cap includes a comfortable front comb instead of clips to help prevent traction alopecia. At 110% density, it’s lighter than average while providing natural body and texture. Pre-cut layers enhance blending, and the hair lies flat at the roots for a seamless transition. Despite industry-wide price increases, it remains budget-friendly, making it ideal for beginners, those seeking lightweight options, or as an affordable backup piece with impressive realism.

Does the Upgrade Aura Topper Come in Lighter Colors?

No, unfortunately not. The Upgrade Aura undergoes a special heat process to seal the skin parting. Unfortunately this heat process also tends to alter the colors, especially lighter colors. As such, we are limited in the colors we can produce in this base type. For a realistic scalp effect in lighter shades, we recommend our best-selling Amber Silk Topper or the Savannah Silk Base Topper.

Will the Upgrade Aura Hair Topper Fit a Small Head?

We’d recommend measuring the top of your head so you have an idea of the coverage the Upgrade Aura will provide. The Upgrade Aura features a 7.5”x7.5” base size, which provides a medium to large coverage. Watch this tutorial to help you visualize the fit.

Why Does My Upgrade Aura Topper Puff Up and Not Blend?

Since everyone’s head shape is a bit different, the Upgrade Aura’s skin base may not fit everyone perfectly. In such cases, try these practical suggestions from UniWigs Facebook Group members:
Use Wig Tape: One member shared, “I remove the front comb and use a tiny square of wig tape right under the edge at the part. It helps. It holds the edge down flat against the scalp so you can barely see it.”
Reshape with Heat and Blend the Edge: Another member shared her experience: “The skin top sometimes needs a bit of wear time to mold more closely to the shape of your head. If you spritz the top lightly with water to dampen it, then clip it down firmly—holding the top with your hand to get it as flat as possible—you can gently blow-dry it so the heat helps it dry in the shape of your head. Also, colour in the rim edge with a permanent marker that matches the topper hair or is slightly darker for better blending. I also like to add a bit of hair fibers to the front section of my bio hair, where it’s thinner, to help it blend more naturally.”

I Feel the Upgrade Aura Has Flat Roots; How Can I Fix It?

If you want to add a bit more volume to the root area, here’s a simple method you can try at home.
All you need is a round brush, a hair dryer, and a spray bottle with water. Start by lightly misting the roots of the topper where you want more lift. Then, using the round brush to gently lift the hair at the base, apply low or medium heat with the hair dryer, directing the airflow downward into the roots. Be careful not to pull too hard or hold the heat too close — you’re aiming to style the hair, not the base material. With just a little patience, you can create soft, lasting lift that blends beautifully with your bio hair.
This quick technique helps the topper look even more natural while keeping its lightweight comfort — so you get the best of both worlds!

How Do I Fix a ‘Cone Head’ Effect on the Hair Topper?

Where excess volume at the crown creates an unnatural, pointy silhouette. The key to a seamless fix is redistributing that concentrated bulk. Our expert stylists recommend a simple yet effective technique: extend the part line of your topper forward. Instead of pulling the hair back, which accentuates the raised bubble, guiding the hair down on either side of a deeper part visually flattens the top and disperses the volume. This instantly creates a more natural, balanced profile, seamlessly blending your topper with your bio hair for a flawless, confident look.
