hair topper for androgenetic alopecia

The story of Lisa, a German customer: how she regained her confidence thanks to her mattress topper

Leave a comment / Uncategorized / By

Today, I want to share a story that touched me deeply.
Lisa, a customer from Munich, sent me this testimonial to help other women—those who are still hesitant, those who are silently experiencing hair loss, or those who are afraid to buy a topper online.

Nothing was sponsored.
Lisa bought everything herself over the years and wanted to share her experience freely.

Here is his story.

Lisa's Testimony (Munich, Germany)

Hi, I'm Lisa, 31 years old from Munich, Germany. I bought my first hair topper three years ago, when I finally decided to do something about my hair loss due to hormonal and thyroid issues. I just wanted to feel confident and carefree around people again, and the moment I put on my first topper, I felt such a sense of relief. That's why I volunteered to write this review. I want to encourage other women who might still be struggling. 

This is not sponsored: I made all purchases myself, at full price, and every word here comes from me.

La recherche du partenaire idéal

At first, I was hesitant. Finding a hair color that matched my natural shade over the internet felt impossible, and I was completely new to the world of hair replacement. But Laure quickly proved to be an absolute professional. Having gone through hair loss herself, she combines deep empathy with true expertise built from the ground up. She knows everything about toppers: from technical details and quality to styling and the little tricks that make all the difference.

When my first color choice didn't quite match, she honestly encouraged me to return it, despite that being more administrative effort for her. The process was seamless. The package from Germany to France took just a few days, and I received my refund shortly after. Laure even suggested that I include a small strand of my own hair so she could find the perfect color for me. And she did.

That's howKatiecame into my life and a new era of confidence began for me.

Quality, Confidence, and Care

After following Laure’s final styling advice, I was super happy and that has been my new look ever since. It’s incredibly natural, and the silk top makes it undetectable because it looks like a normal scalp. I’m happy to say that only those few people I chose to tell know I wear a hair topper, not because it was ever noticeable.

The hair quality is outstanding. Even after years of wear, it remains soft and beautiful. Laure sets very high standards, and it shows in every detail of her work. To date, I have made three purchases, simply because I love having different style options, and I can say with complete conviction that the quality is consistently exceptional in all of them.

Confidence and Integrity

Over the years, I’ve come to know Laure as a reliable, honest, and genuinely kind person who truly puts her customers' satisfaction first. Communicating in English was easy, and she often sent photos and videos to help me visualize options. I remember how nervous I was about making such a big purchase online, but the transparent return policy gave me peace of mind.

In fact, I later realized that this process requires a leap of faith from both sides. Laure entrusts her customers with premium-quality toppers and takes on the effort of managing returns, which is not something every vendor would do. I assume she does it because the great quality speaks for itself and she knows it will be convincing. This reflects her integrity and care for her clients' happiness.

A Note from Lisa for Fellow Women in Germany:

If you're reading this from Germany and would feel more comfortable hearing about "everyday life with a topper" in German, I've given Laure permission to share my contact details. Of course, I can’t give any product advice like Laure, but I’m happy to answer questions about my experience with toppers throughout all seasons and situations, if that makes you feel more confident about taking this step yourself.

Conclusion

Lisa's story represents that of thousands of other women whom I have had the pleasure of helping. It represents the values I want for Comme un diadème:
👉 honesty
👉 personalized advice
👉 naturalness
👉 and no pressure

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.
