Wigs & topper: the 4 style options from Comme un diadème

Leave a comment / Uncategorized / By

Wearing a hair topper 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 hair topper 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 😉

The Diadem cut your topper wig

toppers wigs are sold unprocessed, meaning they have never been cut. The lengths, especially at the back, are therefore not even. Furthermore, at the front of the face, the fact that there is no layering can result in a "Kad Merad effect" (=Kad Merad imitating Hélène Ségara, for those who don't get the reference).

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

But thinning out the lengths around the face is important to achieve a natural look. Because no one naturally has this type of cut. That's where the Diadem cut !

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 hair topper or the wig is then ready to wear as soon as the package is opened 😉

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

Curtain fringes

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 hair topper 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.

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.

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.
