TOPPERS COMPARISON

What kind of topper do I choose

Every topper has a multidirectional parting, a large comb in the front and 5 or 6 pressure sensitive clips all around. Making a topper work does take some practice and blending tricks.

Placement: Best positioned directly behind your own hairline

Don’t wear your topper too far back. This can reveal color differences or visible edges. You may also find that not aligning it perfectly with your own parting works better, especially if you can comb some of your bio hair forward to cover any rim. Every hairpiece requires a bit of effort (e.g. blending techniques or styling) to achieve a truly realistic hairline.

numerous options

A closed lace front, like the one found on the Closed Lace Topper, can also be added to the Silk Topper and SL Topper. This is a very flat, thin, folded and sewn front edge that lays extremely flat.

 

If you’ve tried a silk topper before and were frustrated by it not lying flat, lacking enough natural hair to blend with or simply didn’t like the thick rim, this might be your go-to.

GOOD TO KNOW

(*) 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.

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.
