Testimonial hair topper

Wearing a hair topper tiara: Marlène's testimonial

2 comments / Uncategorized / By

Marlène bought her first hair topper undetectable at Comme un diadème and shares her feedback with us.

"It's been two weeks since my hair topper and I met. I was blonde, with a short cut. I became myself again, light brown, with a very nice length (Alice model, base 18×18 cm, 16" length).

Alice reference

I had many fears, and you know what? Noe of them came true.

So here is a little feedback to dispel your doubts and encourage you to take the plunge too.

Fear #1: It's going to be uncomfortable/pull/scratch/move.

Actually, not at all. And yet, back then, headbands or ponytails that were too high gave me migraines. OK, sometimes a little hair gets caught in a clip, but all you have to do is move it a little and voilà, everything is in order. And no, I don't have to reposition my topper 15 times a day. I put it on in the morning, and that's it.

Fear #2: I'm going to die of heat under there.

Let's be clear, yes, you do get hotter with a topper, especially when walking in 30°C heat. But it's your hair that makes you hot, especially at the nape of your neck. This problem can be solved by tying it back with a clip or elastic band. As for the base, it even has a significant advantage: thanks to this protection, the sun no longer beats down on our heads. Those who have already experienced sunburn on their scalp will understand...

Fear #3: People will look at me strangely.

Yes, so what? Who cares, right?

This time, I went all out: I radically changed both the color and length of my hair overnight. The people I know and care about reacted with great kindness and lots of compliments. Some people I hadn't seen in a long time didn't even notice. It just goes to show that these little wonders really do look super natural!

Fear #4: Which color should I choose?

They all look so good on the Comme un diadème website! Which one should I choose? What if I completely mess up the colour scheme?

Four different colour references of hair toppers offered by Comme un diadème.

No need to worry, really. At worst, you'll need to touch up your organic hair a little. The shades don't have to be perfectly identical for a natural look. Once styled, with a pretty barrette or scarf, a little mix can even add an extra touch of charm.

Fear n°5: The choice of the base of hair topper .

That's the only thing I would change if I could go back. Because of points 1 and 2, I absolutely wanted to go for the smallest base (18×18). If I had to do it again, I would opt for the largest one. Because I now know that it's really comfortable, and that way I could better hide my still-short natural hair. So don't be afraid of large bases.

Extendable base of a hair topper.

There you go, I hope this insight will convince you to leave your fears behind and take the plunge. Personally, I really don't regret it!

Marlene.

    Hello, I just watched some of your videos and my hopes are rising again. Unfortunately, I have short hair and I didn't see any toppers . Should I get a slightly longer one and cut it? That would be a shame, so what should I do?
    Best regards

      Hello,
      How short is your hair? If it's a bob, yes, you'll need to have it trimmed slightly.
      However, this type of toppers necessarily suitable for very short haircuts like Sophie Davant or Evelyne Dhéliat.

At Comme un diadème, you will receive personal support. You can send any questions you may have to contact@commeundiademe.com via the contact form. In addition, you can send photos of your hair (or alopecia) via the support form so that we can advise you on the colour, Cap size or length of the hair topper/wig.

Comme un diadème does not have a shop or business premises, it is only an e-commerce website. However, you are not alone in your purchase and you can be advised on colour, base size and length based on your photos by sending them via the support form. After ordering the topper, you can then try it on at home and send it back if it doesn't suit you, respecting the 14-day withdrawal period.

French Social Security does not reimburse hair prostheses made of natural hair that cost more than 700 euros.

Payment in 4 installments with no fees is possible via PayPal.

All out-of-stock models are restocked on a regular basis. However, it is not possible to give a precise restocking time for each model. If you are interested in a particular model, we advise you to subscribe to the out-of-stock alerts in order to receive an e-mail as soon as the product is available again on the website.

Orders are delivered within 10 days in mainland France, Belgium, and Switzerland. For international orders, delivery times may be slightly longer.

You must exercise your right of withdrawal using the withdrawal form. Once you have returned the product, you will be refunded within 10 days of its receipt at the Comme un diadème premises.

We use natural Brazilian "Remy" hair. The term "Remy" means that the hair and the cuticles of the strand are oriented in the same direction on the hair topper. This is in contrast to non-Rémy hair, which is assembled loosely. They are therefore more prone to tangling and damage.

You should choose the Cap size of the topper according to the extent of your alopecia and the density of hair you wish to acquire. It is preferable that the clips are not attached in the area of alopecia where the scalp can be quite sensitive. In addition, extensive alopecia will require the addition of a high density of hair to compensate for the initial low density.

For extensive alopecia, we recommend bases measuring 18 × 18 cm or 20 × 20 cm. These bases will provide effective coverage, density, and comfort. Larger bases are available for very extensive alopecia.

Smaller bases (15×15 cm) will give your hair a little less density. But they will make it easier to tie your hair up in a high ponytail.

To determine your wig size, please refer to the chart below.

table-size-wig

We offer hair toppers with a density between 120 and 130%. This density is considered standard by international retailers.

The hair is straight. Except when it is indicated in the product description and title that the model is naturally wavy or curly.

The life span of a topper will partly depend on how well it is cared for. The typical life span is between one and two years. To increase the life of your topper, you should not wash it too frequently.

The topper should be brushed out carefully after wearing. It is convenient to place it on a wig head. This way, the hair does not get a bad fold before the next use.

Hair should not be washed too frequently. Every 4 weeks or more is a good frequency. Close the clips before washing the hair and detangle the hair before and after washing. You can use a mild shampoo for colored hair followed by conditioner. Orchid Oil shampoo and Brazilian Keratin conditioner have proven to be effective!

Every four shampoos, you can apply Silicon Mix, available on Amazon. This will restore your hair's original shine.

If you have dry ends, we recommend adding a little argan oil to moisturize the hair fiber.

Natural hair can be heated, straightened, and curled without any problems. However, as with your own hair, you should not overdo it so as not to damage the hair fiber.

The cork wig head and its display stand are essential for easy drying and styling of the hair topper's hair. https://amzn.to/2tg50cJ The T-pin will allow you to attach the hair topper to the cork wig head before blow drying or curling the hair. https://amzn.to/2uW5W6q
Hair hair topper has usually undergone complex bleaching and colouring processes before achieving its final colour. This hair has therefore been sensitised. It may react in an unexpected way to a colouring or bleaching process. It is usually possible to darken a hair topper. However, it is not recommended to bleach it as this may alter the hair. Therefore, when in doubt between two shades as to which hair colour to choose, it is best to choose the lighter shade of hair. In any case, it is important to have the hair topper coloured or bleached by a professional colourist who is used to working with this type of hair. Hair toppers Comme un diadème are sold uncut. Therefore, at first try, the hair topper may not seem to fit your face and/or hairstyle. However, a rough piece needs to be made to fit you completely. We therefore recommend that, if the basic colour, length and size are suitable for you, you have the hair topper cut by a hairdresser so that it can blend in completely naturally with your own hair.
