TOPPERS COMPARISON

The most natural-looking scalp. Silk base with a layer of lace underneath. Has no closed lace front & no return hairs.

Possible pros:

• Most realistic scalp appearance. Knots are hidden under the silk, making them invisible.

• Mimics a natural scalp perfectly.

• Longer-lasting due to the multi-layer construction, the most durable topper construction.

• Does not have return hairs, allowing it to lay flatter.

Possible cons:

• Multi-layered construction makes the base thicker and can restrict how freely the hair moves.

• Slightly stiffer feel and less dynamic movement.

• Tends to lay very flat on top.

• Silk front edges can sometimes be thicker.

Ideal for: Those who want the most natural scalp appearance.

Front: The front rim is part of the silk base and mimics a natural scalp. Best for styles where the front hairline is covered or blended with natural hair. Hairline realism depends on blending and placement. Silk edges can sometimes be thicker, making the transition slightly more noticeable than with closed lace front.

Does a silk topper have return hairs? No. The multi-layer construction holds the hair flat against the scalp. Knots and shorter return hairs are sandwiched between layers, so there’s no extra volume caused by return hairs. While ideal for a sleek look, this design may reduce the topper’s ability to mimic natural movement compared to closed lace toppers or SL toppers, where return hairs enhance texture and flow.

· The closed lace front.

Possible cons:

Ideal for: Those who want the most natural scalp appearance with a very thin and flat front rim.

(*) Closed lace front: a flat, thin, folded, and sewn front edge designed to lay extremely flat against the scalp. It’s ideal for those who want a smooth, discreet hairline without the bulk of a thick rim.

If you’ve ever worn a silk topper and found that the front didn’t lay flat enough, felt bulky, or required too much of your own hair to blend naturally, you’re not alone. A closed lace front solves exactly that.

Because of its minimal thickness and flexible construction, it disappears beautifully into the skin and doesn’t create that raised look some silk toppers do. It’s especially perfect if:

• You have little to no front hair to blend

• You want a super flat finish at the hairline

• You’re after more comfort and less volume at the front

It’s clean, sleek, and gets the job done, no bulk, no fuss. If you’re tired of fighting with your silk topper in the mirror every morning, this might just be your go-to.

(**) Return hairs:

Return hairs (2–3” short pieces) are a byproduct of the knotting process. They help enhance & create texture, movement, and volume. To tame them, use a flat iron or blow dryer. Pull the hair up with a brush, then blow dry the shorter hairs down for a smoother look. The SL toppers & the closed lace toppers have return hairs.

A hybrid topper that combines skin and lace. Has return hairs (**).

Possible pros:

• Realistic silk-like scalp with the comfort and flexibility of lace.

• Natural movement and flow.

• Thinner and lower in density than a silk base but slightly thicker than lace.

Possible cons:

• Not ideal for those who prefer high density.

• Some users may find the low-density front trickier to blend and prefer to choose for the one with the closed lace front.

Ideal for: Those who want the realistic scalp look of silk with the natural movement of lace.

Front: The front rim is part of the SL base, similar to a silk topper but less dense. Hairline realism depends on placement and blending. Looks very natural, but may not offer the same seamlessness as a closed lace front.
