What is a hair topper?
Hair toppers many different shapes and sizes and are designed to conceal hair loss in various stages. Toppers are an excellent solution that have a variety of attachment methods.
Human Hair Toppers are a great replacement alternative that address most stages of hair loss, come in different shapes and sizes, and are designed for placement on the front, top, sides, and back areas of the scalp. Elite Hair Loss Solutions is proud to offer our Guests some of the most beautiful human hair toppers available on the market today from some of the world’s top manufacturers of non-surgical hair replacement enhancements and high-end wig companies. From the finest 100% human Remy hair, to super-fine French tops, you have many options available to you.
Synthetic Hair Toppers are a quick and cost effective remedy to conceal hair loss in various hair loss stages and are available a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Synthetic hair fibers are man-made and are available in a wide range of colors and less expensive than human hair topper alternatives. Different synthetic hair topper shapes are available according to where placement is required, and coverage is needed. Toppers can be placed on the front, top, sides, and back of the head and are designed for adding volume to those areas you need help where your hair is fine or thinning.
How are hair toppers attached?
Hair toppers can be attached with clips, tapes and even medical grade bonding adhesives. You have the option of being able to remove your topper at any time with clips. Tapes and bonding adhesives are designed for semi-permanent application and do require some professional monthly maintenance.
How do you know what size or type of hair topper to buy?
At Elite Hair Loss Solutions, we have specialized training in hair loss, hair loss prevention, wigs, hair toppers, and non-surgical hair replacement for men and women. This means we have the unique ability above regular salons to measure your area of thinning and help you select the correct hair topper for your needs. Then, we expertly color match, apply, cut, and beautifully blend your topper with your own hair.
Your Elite Hair Loss Specialist will also be able to assess what is causing your hair loss and can provide you with additional resources to promote scalp health and slow down or stop your hair loss.
Can topper clips cause damage to my own hair?
Over time, clips can certainly cause slight issues in those same areas of attachment. We always recommend that the clips be professionally rotated to minimize this. If your hair is weak or unhealthy, clips should not be used. Your Elite Hair Loss Solutions Hair Topper Specialists will determine this and make appropriate attachment recommendations.
How long will my hair topper last?
Human hair toppers do have a longer lifespan over synthetic toppers but like any hair enhancement product, longevity can vary somewhat according to lifestyle and how your hair topper is cared for. Your Elite wig and hair topper specialist will guide you on which products to use and daily care to ensure that you get the most life out of your topper.
Can I sleep in my hair topper?
We don’t recommend sleeping in your clipped on hair topper as it may damage your topper and reduce its lifespan. For those wearing toppers with bonded or taped attachment applications, your Elite Hair Professional will give you additional guidance to maximize longevity. If you are looking for a more semi-permanent solution, your Elite Hair Loss Solutions Specialist can discuss our popular non-surgical hair systems which are designed for 24/7 continuous wear.
Are colors the same for human hair toppers and synthetic hair toppers?
Colors can absolutely vary slightly from human hair to man-made synthetic fibers. Human hair will always appear warmer than the same color in a synthetic fiber since that warm underlying pigment is always present.
