It's your girl Nidhi, and today we’re going to talk about how to ensure that your hair topper looks flawless and gorgeous on you. Many women wonder, "Will a hair topper look natural?" Well, we’re here to put all your doubts to rest and solve your worries.
Let's First Understand What is Hair Toppers?
So, girls, hair toppers (or hairpieces) are known as the best solution for hair thinning, bald spots, and especially for covering the crown area, which is a common concern for women as they age.
These hairpieces are the perfect way to cover up hair thinning, and the best part is they have a scalp-like appearance, making them look very natural.
However, there are some tips that can help you make your hair topper look its absolute best. Let’s dive into them!
3 Steps to Make a Hair Topper Look Natural
1. Make Sure you Choose The Right Hair Topper
Choosing the right hair topper is crucial as it ensures that your thinning area / bald spots are completely covered and with adequate amount of volume. If you don't choose the right combination of base size, length and volume - you might have a hair topper that will look slightly odd no matter how hard you try to make it look natural.
How to choose the right hair toppers for natural look
- First figure out your needs: Why do you want a hair topper? Is it to add volume, cover thinning spots, or just switch things up?
- Match your hair type and color: You want that topper to blend perfectly with your natural hair, so make sure the color and texture are spot on.
- Check that base size: Ensure the base fits the area you intend to cover for a flawless, natural look.
- Now, synthetic or human hair: If you want it to look and feel just like your real hair, trust me, human hair is the way to go.
- Check those clips: You need clips that are comfortable and stay put all day long without tugging at your scalp.
- Consider length and thickness: Select a length and thickness that would fit your vibe and feel really natural on you.
- Try it on if you can: Always, always try it on to make sure it feels comfortable and like it's meant to be there.
- Ask for help if you're unsure: Don't be afraid to reach out to a stylist or the brand's team—they'll help you pick the perfect one.

2. Part The Topper Before Flattening The Base
Sprinkle enough water onto your toppers base to make it damp and then use a fine toothed comb to make your topper's parting. Parting your hair topper when it is damp makes sure that your topper is ready to be styled correctly. Make a clean parting so that you can easily match it with your regular parting.
The easiest way to go about this is to part the topper right in the middle, this will go with most of your hairstyles.
3. Flatten The Base Right
Flattening the base of your hair topper is absolutely essential otherwise you'll end up with the hair topper looking bumpy or poofy. There are lots of ways of doing this, some experts recommend that you put the hair topper under your bed for about two days to flatten the base but the drawback of this method is that it can cause the hair on the base to go into disarray and you risk damaging your hair topper.
The easiest way out is to use your regular iron on low temperature and using it on the hair topper. Keep in mind that its absolutely essential that you part your topper before you get into ironing it. When you iron out the base make sure you're mindful of the direction in which your hair is parted - iron the part on the left towards the left side and on the right towards the right side. If you are afraid of damaging your hair topper, use a cloth on top of the hair topper.
