FAQs
Can I wear a top extension every day?
Yes. Top extensions are designed for daily wear. Their lightweight, breathable bases help reduce scalp tension and make them comfortable for all-day use.
How do I know which base size is best for my hair loss or thinning?
Base size depends on where you need coverage. Smaller bases work well for part or crown thinning, while larger bases are better for wider or more advanced thinning.
Will a synthetic topper blend with my natural hair texture?
Heat-friendly synthetic fibers are designed to mimic natural hair movement and texture, making them easy to blend with straight, wavy, or lightly curled hair.
Do I need professional help to install or style a topper?
No professional installation is required. Top extensions are clip-in and beginner-friendly, though a professional cut-in can enhance blending.
How should I store my topper when I’m not wearing it?
Store your topper on a wig stand or in a silk-lined bag to maintain shape, prevent tangling, and extend its lifespan.
