Wigs & topper: 4 cut options from Comme un diadème

Leave a comment / Unclassified / By

Wearing a topper hair or a wig for the first time at a fitting is not always easy. It can be difficult to position the product correctly and thus achieve a natural look. So don't hesitate to contact me and send me your photos, and I'll be happy to help you make the model your own (by email, private messages on Instagram or Facebook, or whatsapp +33 6 95 28 78 85). You should also be aware that the cut plays a major role in the final result. Indeed, it's more difficult to achieve a completely natural look when the topper or the wig has never been cut.

When you order a topper hair or a wig from Comme un diadème, you have the option of requesting a cut. Many of you have asked me what these different cuts are. You'll find all the information you need in this article 😉

Diadem cut for your topper or wig

toppers and wigs are sold raw, i.e. they have never been cut. This means that the lengths, especially at the back, are not evened out. What's more, on the front of the face, the fact that there are no gradations can lead to a "Kad Merad effect" (=Kad Merad imitating Hélène Ségara, for those who don't have the ref).

Placing the parting on the side to break the symmetry already helps considerably to limit this effect.

But it's important to cut back the lengths around the face to achieve a natural look. Because no one naturally has this type of cut. That's where Diadem cut comes in!

The Diadem cut is an equalization of the lengths on the back (barely 2 to 3 cm cut) and a very slight gradation around the face. The topper hair or the wig is then ready to wear as soon as the package is opened 😉

You can find all the explanations and the rendering of the Diadem cut in this video:

Curtain bangs

I'm a particular fan of curtain fringe. So I'm delighted to be able to offer both short and long curtain fringe as a haircut option. The fringe makes topper hair and the wig totally undetectable. I recommend it to all those who are not very comfortable with the positioning of the product as it makes you feel more secure and positioning is much easier.

Classic fringe

The classic fringe is less flared than the curtain bangs.

You've got it all. All you have to do is choose what's best for your topper or wig. I know it's not always easy to go it alone. So if you'd like some personalized advice, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll be happy to help! Many women buy their very first topper or wig from Comme un diadème and it goes very well 😉

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 18 × 18 cm or 20×20 cm bases. These bases will provide real coverage, density and comfort of use. Larger base sizes are available for very large alopecia.

The smaller bases (15×15 cm) will give a little less density to the hair. But they will allow you to tie your hair in a high ponytail more easily.

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

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

The hair is straight. Except where it is stated in the product title and description 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 rhythm. Clips should be closed before washing the hair and the hair should be detangled before and after washing. You can use a mild shampoo for coloured hair followed by a conditioner. Orchid oil shampoo and Brazilian keratin conditioner have proven to be very effective!

Every 4 shampoos you can apply Silicon Mix, available on Amazon. This will restore your hair to its original shine.

In case of dry hair ends, we recommend adding a little argan oil to moisturize the fiber hair.

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

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.
