All about hair toppers

We all dream of proudly sporting beautiful, voluptuous movie star hair. But in real life, between thinning hair, alopecia, alopecia and hair loss, we've come to realise that Mother Nature hasn't been as generous with us all. Hair is our most charming asset and it goes without saying that our self-confidence takes a big hit when our scalp becomes increasingly thin.

However, all hope of (re)finding a dream hair is not lost for us. If you didn't know about toppers , I'll explain it all to you. After all, who better than a woman wearing a hair topper to tell you about it?

The hair topper: an undetectable beauty ally

No more complexes 

Are you one of those people who spend long hours in front of the mirror trying to camouflage their thinning scalp areas? You're not alone, I was too. But that was before I discovered the world of hair topper!

The hair topper is the simplest, easiest and quickest way to get an immediate and safe result. No glue or adhesive: it does not damage the hair as it is clipped on with clip combs and a central comb. With just a few clicks, you'll be back to your best hair. Of course, the first steps will certainly be hesitant, even uncertain. But don't worry, I'll explain everything here. Once you get the hang of it, it's a matter of seconds.

The revenge of hair supplements

Very popular in the United States, hair toppers are still not widely used in France. The reason for this is the still negative connotation of all these hair accessories, which are often, wrongly, lumped together. Hairpiece, toupee, wig: they all have a bad press and bring back an unflattering image of the time when they were crudely made and gave a look that was anything but natural.

But those days are gone. The unsightly "floppy hair" of the past has given way to high-quality, almost invisible hair supplements. Wigs and hair toppers now blend seamlessly into the hair for a natural, undetectable effect. Unlike a wig, which covers the entire head, a hair topper is only applied to the top of the scalp. Its mission? To blend seamlessly with your natural hair to add volume without damaging it.

Hair hair toppers from Comme un diadème

A hair topper yes, but not just any topper. Through the Comme un diadème collection, I want to offer you only quality products at much more affordable prices than those made in French hair salons. As you know, I have been wearing hair toppers for several years now, so I am very demanding about their quality. The result must be as natural as possible and blend perfectly with the hair, while being comfortable to wear every day.

Quality hair

All toppers hair products offered by Comme un diadème are made with natural Remy Brazilian hair. 

The "Rémy" designation is a quality label. This means that the hair and cuticles of each strand are oriented in the same direction on the topper. This means that the hair is not only soft and shiny, but also tangle-free and lasts longer. Conversely, "non-Remy" hair will tangle and get damaged more easily because it is assembled loosely. This second choice hair is therefore to be avoided if you want smooth and shiny hair.

A Silk top base

Ah the silk top! I've already talked about it in many videos, but I insist: a silk top base, or nothing! What is it? It is simply a piece of silk that imitates the scalp and is placed on top of the toppers hair. The hair, integrated by hand, is knotted under the silk, which completely hides the knots. The result is completely natural and undetectable since it imitates a real scalp. No matter where you place your parting, the illusion will be total.

Various Cap sizes

Hair hair toppers Comme un diadème are available with wide bases:

• 15X15 (6X6 in American size)
• 15X18 (6X7 in American size)
• 18X18 (7X7 in American size)
• 20X20 (8X8 in American size)
• 23X23 (9X9 in American size)

Why? Because for women like me who want to hide thinning areas, wide, flat bases are more suitable. This way, it avoids clipping in bald areas. Also, you should know that the wider the base, the more density it brings. So take the time to ask yourself what kind of coverage you want. At first, some women don't want to add too much density to their hair, so they prefer to start with toppers hair with a smaller base, such as a 15X15 or 15X18.

Leq

The toppers capillaries with a base size of 20X20 or 23X23 will be a good solution for women who have diffuse alopecia or who do not have enough hair on the top of the head to fix the topper. Indeed, the wider base will go lower on the back of the head and will therefore clip more easily on areas where there is more hair.

For more details, I explain here how to choose your Cap size. However, don't panic on this point: one or the other can be just as satisfactory. I wear 15X18, 18X18, 20X20 or 23X23 bases and all four fit.

Natural hair density

Comme un Diadème offers toppers capillaries made of straight or curly hair (wavy) with a density generally ranging from 120 to 130%. Here, the objective is to have a natural and realistic volume that looks like you. The density corresponds to the quantity of hair implanted on a precise area. The higher the density, the fuller the hair. Comme un diadème also offers toppers with a density of 150%, for volume lovers.

A wide choice of hair colours

No one has the same brown and no one has the same blonde. We know: shades can be subtle. That's why Comme un diadème offers you several shades of blond, chestnut and brown for your toppers hair. In addition to the photos available on the Comme un diadème website, I regularly post videos of toppers hair on my Instagram page. I highly encourage you to watch them before you make a purchase, as it's easier to get a feel for the exact color with the videos. If you're in doubt between two colors, I recommend getting the lighter one, as it will match your skin tone better, especially for brunettes. Moreover, it will be easier to have it darkened later by a hair colorist.

For women with very little hair or hair loss, the hair topper is not suitable, since a minimum amount of material is needed to hold it in place with the clips. In this case, you should consider the Comme un diadème wigs, which also offer a very natural look.

As you can see, hair without volume or thinning will soon be a distant memory. The hardest part will obviously be choosing! So, are you ready to become the woman you are with toppers ?
