Ultimate Guide to Women's Toppers
Designed for women with thinning hair, toppers are used to add volume and conceal thinning and sparse hair. Toppers can be attached to and blend into existing hair.
By offering options for your clients, you give them the piece of mind that wearing hair is an option that can look natural and can be customized to the client’s hairstyle and lifestyle.
Attachments
Note that while some Toppers can be semi-permanently attached with medical adhesive or long-wear (AdMatte) Tape, this does not have to be the case.
Many clients are concerned that they will have to shave part of their head for a semi-permanent attachment, but there are other options for clients.
In addition to the alternative hair options, IHI offers a variety attachment options that will suit any client and the options surpass just basic clips.
Fibers
Toppers can be made from human hair or created (synthetic) fibers, and the best choice for your client can depend on many factors.
If your client elects to wear a synthetic Topper, you could consider modifying your client’s hair color slightly for best blending options (if necessary).
Created/synthetic fiber options may be preferable for your clients as they are easier to maintain a hair style over human hair that needs to be styled regularly, due to “style memory.”
The choice of Toppers is generally best left to the professionals, and this offering can (sometimes significantly) increase business revenues in turn. Not to mention the loyal client who comes in to have her Topper washed, styled, etc.!
Note that International Hairgoods (IHI) offers a variety of Topper options available for licensed salons to purchase at wholesale for your clientele.
