Different hairstyles for hair toppers and wigs

Wig & hair topper: the 4 cut options from Comme un diadème

2 Comments / Unclassified / By

Wearing a hair topper or a wig for the first time during a fitting is not always straightforward. It can be challenging to position the product correctly and achieve a natural look. For this, do not hesitate to contact me upon receiving the product and send me your photos; I will be happy to help you get accustomed to the model (via email, private messages on Instagram or Facebook, or WhatsApp +33 6 95 28 78 85). It is also important to be aware that the cut plays a significant role in the final appearance. Indeed, it is more difficult to achieve a completely natural look when the hair topper or wig has never been cut.

When you order a hair topper or a wig from Comme un diadème, you have the option to request a cut. Many of you ask me what these different cuts correspond to. You will find all the information on this topic in this article 😉

The Diadem cut for your hair topper or wig

Hair toppers and wigs are sold uncut, meaning they have never been trimmed. The lengths, especially at the back, are therefore not evened out. Additionally, at the front of the face, the lack of layering can lead to a result that resembles the 'Kad Merad effect' (=Kad Merad imitating Hélène Ségara, for those who don't get the reference).

Placing the part on the side to break the symmetry already helps significantly to limit this effect.

But layering the lengths around the face is important to achieve a natural look. Because no one naturally has this type of cut. This is where the Diadem cut comes in!

The Diadem cut is an even out of the lengths at the back (just 2 to 3 inches cut) and a very slight layering around the face. The hair topper or wig is then ready to wear as soon as you open the package 😉

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

Curtain bangs

I am particularly fond of curtain bangs. I am therefore happy to offer both short and long curtain bangs as a cutting option. The bangs make the hair topper and wig completely undetectable. I recommend it to anyone who is not very comfortable with positioning the product, as it allows for a more secure feeling and makes positioning much easier.

Short curtain bangs.

Classic bangs

Classic bangs are less flared than curtain bangs.

You now know everything. You just have to choose what would suit you best for your hair topper or wig. I know that it is not always easy to embark on this alone. So if you would like personalized advice, do not hesitate to contact me, and I will be happy to assist you! Many women buy their very first hair topper or wig from Comme un diadème, and it goes very well 😉

Feel free to subscribe to the Comme un diadème YouTube channel as well. It’s completely free, and you will find hundreds of informative videos about hair toppers and wigs, and more generally about alopecia.

Some videos explain in detail how to achieve a natural look when trying on a hair topper or wig for the first time.

    Bonsoir
    Following my purchase of the hair topper 'ANA', I feel that the wig would be more suitable for me... because my hair topper makes me feel uncomfortable or sometimes pulls on my hair, and... well... I'm not at ease...
    What do you recommend for a wig? Style hair topper "ANA" and do I need a net as well...
    Because my hair loss is worsening and I can no longer color it despite my hair becoming more and more white... nor straighten it...
    I trust you because of the great quality and simple advice... thank you for the feedback
    For note 'I would like a blonde without necessarily a streaked effect or with...'
    Cordialement

We use Brazilian natural 'Remy' hair. The term 'Remy' means that the hair and the cuticles of the strand are aligned in the same direction on the hair topper. Unlike non-'Remy' hair, which is assembled in bulk. They tend to tangle and damage more easily.

You should choose the base size of the hair topper based on the extent of your alopecia and the hair density you wish to achieve. Indeed, it is preferable that the clips are not attached in the alopecia area where the scalp can be quite sensitive. Additionally, extensive alopecia will require a significant hair density to compensate for the low initial density.

We recommend base sizes of 8 x 8" or 8 x 8" for extensive alopecia. These bases will provide real coverage, density, and comfort of use. Larger base sizes are available for very significant alopecia.

Smaller bases (6 x 6") will provide slightly less density to the hair. However, they will allow for easier high ponytails.

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 among international brands.

The hair is straight. Unless it is indicated in the title of the product sheet and in the description that the model is naturally wavy or curly.

The lifespan of a hair topper will partly depend on how well it is cared for. The typical lifespan is between one and two years. To extend the lifespan of your hair topper, it should not be washed too frequently.

The hair topper should be brushed carefully after being worn. It is practical to place it on a wig stand. This way, the hair does not get a bad crease before the next use.

Hair should not be washed too frequently. Maintenance every 4 weeks or more is a good rhythm. You should close the clips before washing the hair and detangle the hair before and after washing. You can use a gentle shampoo for colored hair followed by a conditioner. The “Orchid oil” shampoo and “Brazilian keratin” conditioner have proven effective!

Every 4 shampoos, you can apply Silicon Mix, available on Amazon. Your hair will regain its original shine.

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

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

The cork wig stand and its display are essential for drying and styling the hair of the hair toppers easily. https://amzn.to/2tg50cJ The T-pins will allow you to secure the hair topper to the cork wig head before styling or curling the hair. https://amzn.to/2uW5W6q
The hair of the hair toppers has generally undergone complex bleaching and coloring processes before reaching its final color. These hairs have therefore been sensitized. They may react unexpectedly to a coloring or bleaching process. It is generally possible to darken a hair topper. However, it is not recommended to bleach it as this could alter the hair. Thus, in case of doubt between two shades for the hair color to choose, it is better to select the lighter hair shade. In any case, it is important to have the hair topper colored or bleached by a professional colorist who is accustomed to working with this type of hair. The hair toppers Comme un diadème are sold uncut. At first try, the hair topper may seem ill-suited to your face and/or hairstyle. However, a raw piece requires you to make it your own so that it completely suits you. We therefore recommend that if the color, length, and base size suit you, to have the hair topper cut by a hairstylist so that it can blend naturally with your own hair.
