If you’re searching for the perfect hair topper, don’t give up—you’re almost there! Many first-time wearers are surprised when their topper looks less than natural straight out of the bag or box. No matter how expensive it is, a topper or wig always needs proper styling and a professional cut-in to truly shine.
That’s exactly what we showcase in this incredible video of my mother experiencing her first-ever topper transformation.
Behind the Scenes of the Topper Shoot
This transformation was completely real, unscripted, and captured in one take. We were filming a topper shoot, and at the last minute, I invited my mother to join. What you see in the video is her genuine first reaction—and we’ll be releasing an extended version soon.
The Importance of Styling and a Cut-In
I’ll be honest: I’m not a stylist. This was the very first time I had witnessed a cut-in with styling, and it completely changed how I view toppers. I had the privilege of watching three cut-ins that day, and now I understand why they’re so essential.
There are two key steps every topper needs before it looks natural:
- Styling: Parting the hair, washing, and prepping. This is something you can learn at home—we’ll have plenty of videos to guide you.
- Professional Cut-In: A stylist’s expertise makes all the difference in blending the topper seamlessly with your natural hair.
Without these steps, even the highest-quality topper won’t look its best. With them, the results can be jaw-dropping.
What Friends and Family Will Notice
Once your topper has been styled and cut in, don’t be surprised when friends and family start giving you compliments like:
“Wow, you look amazing!”
“There’s something different about you…”
Our stylist, Deborah, always reminds clients: “You don’t need to tell anyone you’re wearing a topper.” With the right styling, no one will know—it’ll just look like your natural, healthy hair.
My Mother’s Stunning Transformation
For this transformation, we used the CLIO 12 S | Remy Human Hair Topper (Hand-Made) in Colour: 4N.
Honestly, my jaw was on the floor. I see my mother all the time, so I thought I’d easily notice the topper. But after the cut-in and styling, I couldn’t tell where her bio hair ended and the topper began.
✓ The transition was seamless.
✓ The density looked perfectly natural.
✓ The colour matched spot-on.
Seeing this process firsthand—even as someone deeply involved in creating these toppers—I was blown away by how real and transformative it looked.
I initially thought I would notice the topper because I see her all the time, but after the cut-in and styling, I couldn’t notice a thing. The transition was seamless, the density was perfect, and the colour was spot-on.
