Topper – YoungSee Help Center

Hair toppers are a fantastic solution for individuals experiencing hair thinning or looking to enhance their hairstyle. They provide extra volume, cover up bald spots, and can even allow for a new look without committing to a full hair extensions. However, to ensure you get the most natural look and the best fit, it’s essential to choose the right base size and length for your hair topper. In this article, we will guide you through the key considerations to help you make an informed choice.

Understanding Hair Toppers

Before diving into the specifics of size and length, let’s clarify what hair toppers are. Hair toppers are semi-permanent hairpieces that are designed to blend in with your natural hair. They typically cover the top portion of your head and can enhance your hairstyle or create a fuller look. They come in various styles, colors, and densities, making it crucial to choose the right one for your needs.

Choosing the Base Size

1. Measure the Area of Hair Loss

The first step in selecting the right base size is to determine the area you want to cover. If you’re dealing with hair thinning at the crown or a receding hairline, you’ll need a topper that adequately covers these areas. Use a tape measure or a ruler to gauge the size of the area, keeping in mind that it’s always better to choose a slightly larger base to ensure proper coverage.

Measure the Area:

Side to Side: Measure the width of the area from ear to ear.

Front to Back: Measure the length of the area from the front hairline to the point where the hair loss exists.

Add Extra Inches:

Add 1 inch to each measurement to ensure adequate coverage and clip attachment.

2. Know the Base Dimensions

Hair toppers come in various base dimensions, ranging from small (around 3 inches x 5 inches)、medium（around 5 inches x 5 inches） to larger bases ( 6 inches x 6 inches or 6 inches x 7 inches ). Depending on the extent of your hair loss, you may opt for:

Small Base: Ideal for minimal thinning or to cover a specific spot.

Medium Base: Suitable for more prominent thinning areas but not complete baldness.

Large Base: Best for extensive hair loss or fuller coverage needs.

Choosing the Hair Length

It is generally recommended to choose a length that is 2 inches longer than your natural hair. If the hair topper you purchase is longer than your natural hair, we suggest taking it to a professional stylist for trimming and styling. If the hair topper is shorter than your natural hair, you can create layers to help it blend in.Our hair toppers are actually 1 inch longer than the length you purchase. Measuring Method: Take a strand of the longest hair from the hair topper, pull it straight to stretch it out, and use a measuring tape to measure.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right base size and length for a hair topper is crucial for achieving a natural and satisfying look. By measuring the area you want to cover, considering your personal hairstyle, and opting for a length that aligns with your preferences, you can select a topper that enhances your beauty and boosts your confidence.

To choose the right color for a hair topper, prioritize matching your natural hair’s base color and undertones for a seamless, natural look, and consider consulting with a stylist or us for color matching assistance.

Match Your Base Color:

Choose a topper that closely resembles your natural hair color, especially at the roots, for a cohesive look.

Consider Undertones:

Determine if your hair has warm, cool, or neutral undertones and choose a topper that complements them.

Think About Lighting:

Keep in mind that colors can appear different in various lighting conditions, so review photos and descriptions carefully.

Consult an Expert:

If you’re unsure, reach out to a stylist or us for professional advice and color matching assistance.

How to Use a Hair Topper:

Step 1: Determine the type of hair topper you will be using! Our hair toppers are all worn with clips. Before installation, wash and blow dry your natural hair, then use a wide-tooth comb to detangle. Divide your hair into two sections based on your preference, using hair clips to secure the remaining hair to ensure the topper area is clear and smooth.

Step 2: Place the front edge of the topper about 1-2 inches away from your hairline and secure it with hair clips. Smooth down the top of the clips to keep the base flat and snug against your head.

Step 3: Blend the topper with your natural hair using a comb or your fingers. Style as desired by curling or straightening.

How to Properly Remove a Hair Topper:

Step 1: Unclip all clips except the front one! Release all pressure-sensitive clips by “untying” your natural hair from the clips. We recommend removing the topper slowly to prevent pulling on your hair and causing hair loss.

Step 2: Unclip the front clip! Once all the other clips are unfastened, you can address the front clip. Gently lift the clip while removing it from your hair, and “peel off” the hair topper from front to back.

Step 3: Store the topper properly! Place the topper on a hair extensions stand; when not in use, allow it to breathe while maintaining its shape.

2.Use lukewarm water and a high-quality sulfate-free shampoo to gently lather the topper. Avoid rubbing.
