What Is a Hair Topper?

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the best hair topper for early-stage hair thinning?

If you're experiencing mild thinning around your parting line (Stage 1), a small scalp topper like the 1.5x5 size is ideal. It provides targeted coverage, blends easily with natural hair, and is lightweight for everyday wear.

2. How do I choose the right hair topper for crown coverage?

For fuller crown coverage or bald spots, consider larger silk toppers like the 4x4 or 5x5 options. These provide wide-area concealment, volume enhancement, and higher styling flexibility for natural-looking results.

Women with Stage 5 hair loss should opt for full crown toppers like the 5x5 silk topper. Designed to cover large areas, it offers seamless blending, high breathability, and natural movement with premium Remy hair.
