If you’ve ever unboxed a new hair topper and wondered, “Okay… now how do I actually make this look like me?” — you’re not alone. In this video, Lacie Rodriguez walks through her simple, real-life method for blending a topper with your natural hair, using the Dimples Clio 14 L French as her example.
What makes this video especially comforting is that Lacie doesn’t overcomplicate anything. She shows the process the way it really happens at home — no filters, no studio glam, just honest, practical steps that help the piece settle in naturally.
Why Lacie Loves This Topper
Right from the start, she calls out what makes the Clio 14 L French feel so seamless: its lightweight, hand-tied cap and the realistic scalp where none of the knots are visible. It’s the kind of construction that lets the hair move as if it’s growing straight out of your head.
That realism matters — especially if you’re wearing hair for the first time or blending over thinning spots.
Her Step-by-Step Blending Technique
Lacie begins by aligning the topper’s part with her own. Holding the piece away from her face, she places it slightly behind her natural hairline so it melts into her features rather than sitting on top of them.
Then she opens the clips — side clips first, then the back — and secures the topper gently. Once it’s on, she uses a fine-tooth comb to blend her natural hair into the topper hair, creating a smooth, undetectable transition. It’s a tiny step that makes a big difference in how natural the final look feels.
A Moment of Ease
What’s helpful about watching Lacie is how real the process feels. She doesn’t rush, and she doesn’t hide the little adjustments we all make along the way. You see exactly how she lines up the part, places the topper just behind her hairline, and lets it settle before blending everything together.
For anyone learning how to wear a topper, watching her go step by step can make the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. It’s a reminder that blending doesn’t have to be complicated — it just takes a bit of practice and a piece that works with your natural hair.
