What I LOVE about this topper is how it comes up in front from the scalp. The little bit of height it gives is fabulous. Not too much, but it does not look flat. Having a fuller face, it helps to have the extra tiny bit of height off of the forehead. Which color do you like better the honey Chai or Almond Frost? If you were selecting your first topper would you chose this or another topper?
I am beyond thrilled (is there such a thing? 😉) to see your topper journey! You have given me hope with so many options. I am practically in tears, as I write this. As always, thank you for your wonderful and honest reviews! Sending good vibes your way! 😎😀🤗
Aww...this is so great to read! I am happy you are finding these helpful and inspiring! YESSSS! Thank you for watching, and for taking the time to post this sweet comment! Sending good vibes your way too, and good luck w/ your faux hair journey! ;)
I'm so glad you shared this video! I really needed an idea of how to incorporate my bio hair with a lace front. I would have never thought to fold it over! Thank you soooo much!
Thank u for the lace front tip when wanting to wear topper slightly back. I bought one and have been trying everything to hide that lace when wearing slightly back so I can incorporate some of my bio hair. Thank u thank u!
I loved this piece, so I decided to order it in the wavy edition, as I have wavy hair. The topper actually has a mauve tone at the root. Strange tone that does not match natural hair. I am not one to do returns, so I did the dry shampoo in brown and it will be a temporary fix to tone it down. Nice texture, comfy fit. You do an amazing job ! How do you incorporate the root color that doesn't work?
Jill, I love your videos. Can you please tell me which toppers are the easiest to change the part--the mono, lace, or silk. Do you have a preference. Thank you, Julie
Hi Jill, This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. I am fairly new to toppers and wigs but love how you do your own thing! I am a very detailed person and am always altering things to personally suit me. My husband says I "MacIver" everything. I am wondering if you have ever cut back the lace front???? I have a very obvious widow's peak and dont like any part of the the lace front to show. I have a Ellen Wille wig (low density) in the color Champagne Rooted which I do like (but feel the root has an "unnatural" redish root color). Do you have any other recommendations? Thank you
Hello Jill. I hope you are feeling better. I wanted to check in and see if you are loving this topper. I am thinking about getting it because of the lace front. My hair loss has gotten worst and it's getting harder to blend my hair in with my other toppers. Look forward to hearing back from you.
Erica Simons My only reservation with this topper is the lack of coverage it gives in the back. If it is a great match to your bio hair color...and you don't necessarily need coverage back there...it should not be an issue. It is a gorgeous topper otherwise. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
Super fantastic video for the topper in the other I just recently started getting into wigs Etc that's said if you live in a place where the humidity is 100% in the summer all the time unfortunately if you were to spend any time outside whatsoever I literally couldn't have this on for more than 10 minutes but if I lived in a dry climate like where I'm from Colorado these would be great thanks for sharing
Thank you! Glad you liked it. ;) Yes, if you live in a very high humidity climate, I can see where that could be challenging...HOWEVER, they do make all kinds of products (like hair spray, styling products etc...) for humidity. They are designed to repel humidity and protect the hair from frizzing and doing what it does in those conditions. You may want to experiment! ;)
Jill, I'm still a little stymied by toppers. My hair loss is at the hairline. I have plenty of hair on the sides and back, but I have way more forehead than I used to. The hair I still have on top and at the crown is strong enough for the clips, but does enough hair come off the front of the base to give me some coverage where my hairline SHOULD be?
Wow that color is very pretty. Cut that lace off and set it back( I hated it folded on my head...oh wait..( yes I type as you talk..like I m there with you..lol)that's how I wear mine..just set it back and pull my hairs out front and on sides. I am turning very gray so going to try to order a brunette wig and let the gray front show in a 'cruella de Ville look.. I am going to let my hair grow and try a short topper..you have made them look like a perfect summer solution..thanks again Jill great videos.
Haha! Thank you, Terri! That was my first initial thought w/ the cutting of the lace...but, when I looked , there wasn't much lace to cut! I may give it a go just to see if I can see it like that. ;) I love your idea w/ leaving some gray along the hairline...let me know what you think! I definitely think you should give toppers a go...especially for Summer!
Jill, I got this one in the honey colored one. But you don’t have to trim it💯👌u can’t even see your shorter hair underneath the topper . It really hides it well. And anyway, it will just look like an “undercut”
I am learning from you I just got the topper you have and no hair well very little so scared that it is not going to work but I think have experienced to make it work I am sick of wigs
Jesse Mault Hi Jesse! I am so happy you found this helpful and that you find others here on my channel helpful as well! I appreciate you watching and for taking the time to post this kind comment. 😉
Hi lovely😍 I watched this video about 2 years ago, and I swear by that EasiCrown by Jon Renau adition. I've been wearing it with my toppers ever since. I alternate with Jon Renau EasyPieces. They're wonderful. I have a question, I hope you see it. Does the lace front stay in place the way you wore it pushed back a little bit. I've never worn lace fronts because like you, I also like to leave out my own hair, and I've always worn non lace front, I have a lace front coming in the mail soon, and I'm a bit apprehensive about it staying put . Does it stay put once you do that little fold to it. Thank you so much 💓
Hi Jill! Wonderful video. I have been devouring all your topper videos as I am in the process of picking one for myself. I’m used to wearing wigs and now that my natural hair has grown out I’m really finding myself wanting something lighter for the summer. The topper you had on in the beginning of the video is so gorgeous and exactly what I’m looking for. Was it the Top wave by Jon Renau? Or can you please share with me which one it was. Thank you so much I always appreciate all the info you supply us wig sisters with 🥰
The rooting on this one is beautiful, I think because they weaved some lighter shades in there, and it almost looks like there is some grey in the hair! (even though, it's definitely not grey)...I find it very realistic, and one of the nicer rooted looks I have come across! ;)
So I had decided I wanted Belle Tress top wave 18"...after so many months research. Then I hear some gal say it was only good for 5 wearings then went to crap. My other choice was Easipart XL 18" (I like color options). My fav is the Uniwigs Hope wavy but their only blonde shade I found to fake and shiny. I can special order a color for $30-$40 more (non-refundable of course if it doesn't work). Which of these have been your favorite? I loved your Hope review sooo much with all your fancy styling girl! I can buy one from a wig sister for $112 straight in creamy Ice or order new with code for $161plus whatever they decide to upcharge for a decent super light blonde. Love JR Laguna blonde. I just need to buy something to get myself use to turning loose of money for these special for myself. Love some advice soon as too what you'd choose. Thank you sweetie! Hope this finds you feeling tip top ☺️
Jill, did you cut the lace front off or just turn it back & do you use the “ It stays” just on your hair or on your forehead & into your hair if you use some of your own hair ( which is brilliant! ‼️)
It is this topper have a name? How are we to find it? I notice to left a link to something from Jon Renau but not to that particular topper. Is it not available anymore? Discontinued? I have been looking for a lace fret topper for my daughter for a long time period the color is way too warm and I've don't know if belltress carries anything that is cool. Who has a new color called butter beer? That color looked really interesting but I've not seen it IRL have you?
I was glad to see this because I have been wondering if I could use my halos much the same way as you are using a crown piece. Now, I need to buy a topper...lol
KJ Hasler I think a halo may work even better! I tried to look at those...but didn't see any that looked like what I was envisioning. What kind do you use, and where did you purchase?
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy I bought a ROP halo from Cysterwigs. It’s available in two lengths. One that is about 14” and then one they call a Halo bob. Is about 8” I believe. They are handy for days I work outside or for quick trip to the local market with one of my hats. They are cooler to wear, also. Thanks for all the great information! ~Kerrin
Would love to be neighbor sisters with you! Appreciate your boldness to show your natural hair and how to blend and wear this. Really excited to learn about rolling the front under to hide the lace line if putting behind the hairline some, had not thought of that before, great idea!
Hi, Thank you very much for your video. I just ordered on of the Belle tress Lace Front topper RL12/16. Can you please advise what brand of "It Stays" you use? I've never used a lace front wig and I want it to look good, and get the right one. (My hair is thin in front). Thank you !
Jill, you have been teasing us on the fact that you would lighten your hair this summer... It's summer. Would love to see it. Highlight it really blonde, that would be so cool 😎.
You have very informative videos. I am wondering though why someone would want the expense of buying the EasiCrown and the Belle Tress topper just because the topper has poor coverage? To me it looks stringy and sparse in the back and for $200 retail for the topper alone, it seems like there are better purchases out there. Just my opinion, of course, but I am so frugal and always shopping to get the best quality for the money. I am curious if you have tried Toppers by Sharon yet or Uniwigs toppers? People seem to rave about their quality.
I just loved this topper SO much...I had to figure out how to make it work! It's beautiful. ;) I am not sure who Sharon is? ...I will be trying Uniwig toppers soon! Very excited to see what they are like! Thanks for watching!
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy oh Jill!! You need to stop buying those toppers right now if you haven't heard of "Toppers by Sharon" and check her out!! Wowza! I am going to be buying one today. Google her and your world will never be the same again for toppers! They last for a year or two... I will watch for your review when you get it and you can say,*oh my gosh, the best ever* (I hope!)
Hi, love your videos. But what is the name of your topper that had the waves that you showed briefly in this video.? I love the waves and now I'm checking out toppers. Thanks
Hi Jill, I've seen several wig review styles that go from dark roots to several colors of blond that end up with very pale/ash blond on the ends. Those colors seem to be very popular now. Have you seen those reviews? Anyway, I love your topper and crown blend and find it a very natural color progression and looks good on you. Thanks for sharing and your creativeness.
Hi Jill...what a beautiful topper and amazing review! Have you been contnuining to pair your BT topper with the easi-crown? How has that been going? How has the BT topper held up? Have you tried any 'updos'? Thanks as always for your help and detailed information!!!
That topper is just gorgeous on you!! I was also interested in seeing the EasyCrown. I have longer hair. Do you think those products would work for me with longer hair?? Being almost 60 my hair is thinning especially at the crown. 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
According to my monitor, you'd have to be standing there looking very closely to find a difference! A great match and solution. Will wait to see how it all looks after a Jill trim! ❤️❤️
It really doesn't seem to be any more noticeable than my other toppers that aren't lace fronts! It works for me! :) Yes, I hope the trimming goes well because I just love this piece. ALSO really wish it had better coverage in the back...it would be perfect if it did! I loved it so much though that I had to figure out a solution for that. I think it will do the job! I'll give everyone a follow up!
Looks great! Do you prefer toppers to wigs? I’ve got a topper on order and thought it may work better since it gets so warm and humid here in the summer months. What shape is your face? I was thinking mine is similar but I’m not sure of my shape. I know my cheek bones are much wider than my forehead and jawline. It’s all so confusing.
Well Jill, after watching this I finally made my first decision. This is the one. My own hair is the length of this topper and My color is a close match. Thank You. I have one quick question. Do you know how this fabric holds up in ocean air. I will be on a cruise in October.
Hi Gin! I have yet to try any wig fiber in those conditions. ;) I would imagine there will be some wind, and salty air...probably will do what our regular hair may do and get a little tangled and messed up a tad. ;) I did hear that toppers can be a little less stable in windy condition with the clips etc... If it were me I would use IT STAYS in the front where the lacing is and back comb a little where the clips will be. Perhaps where a cute hat when you are out in the elements? Let us know how it goes!
Yes, I have....they went in the trash. Haha! It was mostly because they weren't good choices to be made into a topper and didn't work well with my own hair. :( LOL
So, do you change the clips around so that they don't cause stress in the same place over and over and cause hair falling out? I had that issue before, but I really hate wearing wigsin the summer because they are so much hotter. We are going to have a hot winter too! The wigs feel like a hot hairy shower cap to me so I only wear for special occasions and work, and the topper scares me because of the clips. My hair came out though from a costume headpiece that I wore...
I rotate toppers/ styles. Clips are rarely in the same place, but it's SO important to make sure you are clipping to healthy hair and NOT clipping tightly. Do not allow clips to put stress on your bio hair. I have not had any issues with friction alopecia or breakage etc.. However, I am very careful and always make sure they are comfortable. The minute I feel any pulling....I will fix it and re-adjust as soon as possible.
I have this Belle Tress topper in this same color. I am tempted to also buy the Jon Renau 12" XL EasiPart. But I need to know which of the two has more hair? Which looks more natural? I can't find any website that gives the weight of the Belle Tress topper, so I am hoping you can tell me which topper is more dense. I know the Jon Renau is 2.4 oz. If this is denser than the Belle Tress I won't buy it. The Belle Tress is about as dense as I can wear. I have a small head and face.
Jill thanks for this review! I just got this topper in the 18" in the color chocolate with caramel. Beautiful. I do have a couple of questions for you. First, have you considered cutting the lace back right up to where the hair starts rather than folding it? I also integrate my front hairline and was considering cutting the lace. Second, the piece wants to naturally part on the left, but when I change the part to the right, the hair is so sparse on top that it looks like a balding scalp! Not quite what I'm going for. Have you noticed that yours is super thin on top as well? Thanks again for your help! You look beautiful!
I was going to try cutting the lace...but, there really wasn't much to trim. Folding it over seems to work...but, I may give trimming a go. ;) I am a left side parter by nature...so, I really haven't tried the otherside. No, the mono top is lovely...they should be a bit sparse really for a natural look. I don't like my mono tops dense. BUT...I haven't tried it on the opposite side to see if there is indeed a difference. You have me curious now!
Another!!! lol I love this lace front and really natural Jill, don't think I can get this brand here though and just too expensive in post and tax if I get from the states. Nice colour, I've been trying nutmeg r lately and as like you love the shaded praline or creamy toffee r but colleagues like the warmer colour . I really like this one and it looks so good on. I see what you mean about the back but what a great idea . I've found a really nice Paula young topper with fringe and good coverage the only thing not rooted which I prefer . So wigs away till next winter I guess ...mine are for a while. Xxx
Yes...haha! I do love this one....just wish there were more coverage in the back like it is in the front. It would be perfect! ;) I LOVE the Honey w/ Chai Latte in the Belle Tress line. So sad you don't get this one there. :( I haven't touched a wig in a few weeks! I have been topper bitten. Hee hee!
I actually like this color better with the honey blonde! Beautiful construction, the stretch must make it feel really secure! Thanks for the tip on camouflaging the topper and easy crown, great idea! 💡 Thanks for being "weird" 😂
Yes, I do! I am a Cosmetologist, but I have to say...cutting synthetic fibers on these wigs/toppers is a WHOLE different ball game I have found! You definitely wouldn't need to be a Cosmetologist to trim up your toppers/wigs. ;)
Can you recommend a topper that would go well with bangs? I have fine hair, i guess similar to yours? but i have a full, healthy bang. Thanks so much. (love the jon renau ones in shaded praline, but not sure what to pick)
Hi Jill! Thanks for a nice chat! I have a question about the color of this topper. Is Chai Latte any lighter than the Shaded Praline? I bought a Shaded Praline wig thinking it would look good on me, but it was too dark. I've fallen in love with Raquel Welch''s Shaded Biscut color and now have 3 wigs in that shade. Is Chai Latte anything close to that color? I know you have one or two wigs in Shaded Biscut. Thanks, Jill! :)
Hi Candy! I am having a hard time reaching for my wigs since going to Toppers! They are SOOO much more comfortable, and am enjoying them. I hope you love your new topper!
Clips are useless on my fine hair. It is like spider's web. I've tried hair extensions in the past and they don't stay because I don't have enough hair or volume for the clips to fasten onto. Also you can see everything underneath my hair. YUK!! Perhaps a wig would be a better option for me.
Hi Eliza! I put all that info down in the 'show more' description box along w/ the specs on this topper. ;) Name Brand Wigs is where I have been buying my toppers and most of my wigs. Thanks for watching!
Hi Donna! First off...thanks for watching today! Yes, but you have to remember that MOST people are not 'looking' for it. We know it's there...so we tend to have an overly critical eye. This one looks practically undetectable in person...and although it's not perfect, I am completely comfortable with wearing it!
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy thanks so much for replying. I am still very self conscious and afraid everyone will be able to tell. Didnt mean to be critical! :)
I have purchased at LEAST 6 of these toppers. I need to wear daily. the PROBLEM with this is the hair fiber is SO FRAGILE that you seriously only get a COUPLE days wear before you will need to TRIM the back and sides. this FRIZZES and BREAKS at the ends that it looks TERRIBLE. next thing you know in a months time your 14" hair is now too short! love the color (apple pie w/ champagne) truly nayural rooted topper. but at almost 300.00 each for them to only look good for a month....DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Hi Carolyn! Because that number can change, and these videos are up for years to come!...and I always post the link to where you all can look up all the information including cost. I also assume that people will research and find their best deal. Not to mention sales are always coming and going. Thanks for watching!
You are such a genius, Jill!! All the ideas you have in this video are incredibly amazing and useful! Thanks a million 🥰🤩👍👍👍
What I LOVE about this topper is how it comes up in front from the scalp. The little bit of height it gives is fabulous. Not too much, but it does not look flat. Having a fuller face, it helps to have the extra tiny bit of height off of the forehead.
Which color do you like better the honey Chai or Almond Frost? If you were selecting your first topper would you chose this or another topper?

I'm so glad you shared this video! I really needed an idea of how to incorporate my bio hair with a lace front. I would have never thought to fold it over! Thank you soooo much!
It works well, I think! No more 'noticeable' than wearing a topper without a lace front! Thanks for watching!
Thank u for the lace front tip when wanting to wear topper slightly back. I bought one and have been trying everything to hide that lace when wearing slightly back so I can incorporate some of my bio hair. Thank u thank u!
Wow, I love how you blended your natural hair with the lace front mono top... This wig looks very nice on you.
Thank you, Anna!
I would love to see a short hair topper for my short hair.
I loved this piece, so I decided to order it in the wavy edition, as I have wavy hair. The topper actually has a mauve tone at the root. Strange tone that does not match natural hair. I am not one to do returns, so I did the dry shampoo in brown and it will be a temporary fix to tone it down. Nice texture, comfy fit. You do an amazing job ! How do you incorporate the root color that doesn't work?
Jill, I love your videos. Can you please tell me which toppers are the easiest to change the part--the mono, lace, or silk. Do you have a preference. Thank you, Julie
I love how you wear your topper . I will wear mine that way. Ordering now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I LOVE the THINNESS of this hair..,..because this has been my major objection against investing ....this looks authentic
Hi Jill, This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. I am fairly new to toppers and wigs but love how you do your own thing!

I'm a new subscriber, love your video & wisdom on this. I need a curly topper & crown coverage & have been wondering what I should do. Great info.

What was that hairspray you were going to link below? I didn't see it.
Thank you Jill, I really appreciate this video. I’m 31 and my hair is thinning so bad
Jesse Mault Hi Jesse! I am so happy you found this helpful and that you find others here on my channel helpful as well! I appreciate you watching and for taking the time to post this kind comment. 😉
thank you, great review. have you looked at the jon renau HD XL toppers vs this one?
Blonde is your best shade! I like the second topper that you showed. Great video.

I was wondering when the wig color experts would lighten up the roots especially in rooted blondes.
The rooting on this one is beautiful, I think because they weaved some lighter shades in there, and it almost looks like there is some grey in the hair! (even though, it's definitely not grey)...I find it very realistic, and one of the nicer rooted looks I have come across! ;)

Hi which is morerealistic in hair and scalp belle tress or jon renau tooper?
They are equally nice. I tend to have more Jon Renau in my collection...not sure if that's because JR offers better selection, or I prefer JR?
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy yes thats true and they look gorgeous on you
Jill, you have been teasing us on the fact that you would lighten your hair this summer... It's summer. Would love to see it. Highlight it really blonde, that would be so cool 😎.
Would the root color be considered a #6?
What are you wearing... Which topper is that, the weavy one
It's called Top Wave 12" by Jon Renau in Shaded Praline
my hair is being destroyed by Topamax so I am inspired by this video... and may be off to purchase a topper
You have very informative videos. I am wondering though why someone would want the expense of buying the EasiCrown and the Belle Tress topper just because the topper has poor coverage? To me it looks stringy and sparse in the back and for $200 retail for the topper alone, it seems like there are better purchases out there. Just my opinion, of course, but I am so frugal and always shopping to get the best quality for the money. I am curious if you have tried Toppers by Sharon yet or Uniwigs toppers? People seem to
rave about their quality.
I just loved this topper SO much...I had to figure out how to make it work! It's beautiful. ;) I am not sure who Sharon is? ...I will be trying Uniwig toppers soon! Very excited to see what they are like! Thanks for watching!
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy oh Jill!! You need to stop buying those toppers right now if you haven't heard of "Toppers by Sharon" and check her out!! Wowza! I am going to be buying one today. Google her and your world will never be the same again for toppers! They last for a year or two... I will watch for your review when you get it and you can say,*oh my gosh, the best ever* (I hope!)
Hi, love your videos. But what is the name of your topper that had the waves that you showed briefly in this video.? I love the waves and now I'm checking out toppers. Thanks
Hi Geraldine! It is Jon Renau Top Wave 12" / in Shaded Praline.
Hi Jill, I've seen several wig review styles that go from dark roots to several colors of blond that end up with very pale/ash blond on the ends. Those colors seem to be very popular now. Have you seen those reviews? Anyway, I love your topper and crown blend and find it a very natural color progression and looks good on you. Thanks for sharing and your creativeness.
Yes, I have seen that...especially in extensions! It's very pretty. ;) Thank you for watching!
Hi Jill...what a beautiful topper and amazing review! Have you been contnuining to pair your BT topper with the easi-crown? How has that been going? How has the BT topper held up? Have you tried any 'updos'? Thanks as always for your help and detailed information!!!
Hi Karen! Yes, I always wear the EasiCrown with this topper. It's working great! I have not tried updoos w/ this one!
That topper is just gorgeous on you!! I was also interested in seeing the EasyCrown. I have longer hair. Do you think those products would work for me with longer hair?? Being almost 60 my hair is thinning especially at the crown. 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
FiftyPlusBeauty Absolutely! Many of the ones like EasiCrown come in longer lengths!
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy. Wow! Thanks! If I do a video about it and will give you a shout out and Link to your channel!! 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
According to my monitor, you'd have to be standing there looking very closely to find a difference! A great match and solution. Will wait to see how it all looks after a Jill trim! ❤️❤️
It really doesn't seem to be any more noticeable than my other toppers that aren't lace fronts! It works for me! :) Yes, I hope the trimming goes well because I just love this piece. ALSO really wish it had better coverage in the back...it would be perfect if it did! I loved it so much though that I had to figure out a solution for that. I think it will do the job! I'll give everyone a follow up!
I just bought this topper absolutely love... It also looks great in a low pony tail... +++ xxx
Looks great! Do you prefer toppers to wigs? I’ve got a topper on order and thought it may work better since it gets so warm and humid here in the summer months. What shape is your face? I was thinking mine is similar but I’m not sure of my shape. I know my cheek bones are much wider than my forehead and jawline. It’s all so confusing.
what tape do you use in the front?
Your lighting looks so much better in this video.
Well Jill, after watching this I finally made my first decision. This is the one. My own hair is the length of this topper and My color is a close match. Thank You. I have one quick question. Do you know how this fabric holds up in ocean air. I will be on a cruise in October.
Hi Gin! I have yet to try any wig fiber in those conditions. ;) I would imagine there will be some wind, and salty air...probably will do what our regular hair may do and get a little tangled and messed up a tad. ;) I did hear that toppers can be a little less stable in windy condition with the clips etc... If it were me I would use IT STAYS in the front where the lacing is and back comb a little where the clips will be. Perhaps where a cute hat when you are out in the elements? Let us know how it goes!
Thank you for so much-needed info
Hi Jill, great video! Have you modified a wig to top piece yet? xoxo Joan
Yes, I have....they went in the trash. Haha! It was mostly because they weren't good choices to be made into a topper and didn't work well with my own hair. :( LOL
So, do you change the clips around so that they don't cause stress in the same place over and over and cause hair falling out? I had that issue before, but I really hate wearing wigsin the summer because they are so much hotter. We are going to have a hot winter too! The wigs feel like a hot hairy shower cap to me so I only wear for special occasions and work, and the topper scares me because of the clips. My hair came out though from a costume headpiece that I wore...
I rotate toppers/ styles. Clips are rarely in the same place, but it's SO important to make sure you are clipping to healthy hair and NOT clipping tightly. Do not allow clips to put stress on your bio hair. I have not had any issues with friction alopecia or breakage etc.. However, I am very careful and always make sure they are comfortable. The minute I feel any pulling....I will fix it and re-adjust as soon as possible.
I have this Belle Tress topper in this same color. I am tempted to also buy the Jon Renau 12" XL EasiPart. But I need to know which of the two has more hair? Which looks more natural? I can't find any website that gives the weight of the Belle Tress topper, so I am hoping you can tell me which topper is more dense. I know the Jon Renau is 2.4 oz. If this is denser than the Belle Tress I won't buy it. The Belle Tress is about as dense as I can wear. I have a small head and face.
No answer? I wanted to know also!
a1joyce I would say the EasiPart XL gives more coverage in the back ... and both have a very realistic density.
Love what you are wearing in the beginning!
Wow you are good at that stuff!
Jill thanks for this review! I just got this topper in the 18" in the color chocolate with caramel. Beautiful. I do have a couple of questions for you. First, have you considered cutting the lace back right up to where the hair starts rather than folding it? I also integrate my front hairline and was considering cutting the lace. Second, the piece wants to naturally part on the left, but when I change the part to the right, the hair is so sparse on top that it looks like a balding scalp! Not quite what I'm going for. Have you noticed that yours is super thin on top as well? Thanks again for your help! You look beautiful!
I was going to try cutting the lace...but, there really wasn't much to trim. Folding it over seems to work...but, I may give trimming a go. ;) I am a left side parter by nature...so, I really haven't tried the otherside. No, the mono top is lovely...they should be a bit sparse really for a natural look. I don't like my mono tops dense. BUT...I haven't tried it on the opposite side to see if there is indeed a difference. You have me curious now!
Another!!! lol
I love this lace front and really natural Jill, don't think I can get this brand here though and just too expensive in post and tax if I get from the states.
Nice colour, I've been trying nutmeg r lately and as like you love the shaded praline or creamy toffee r but colleagues like the warmer colour .
I really like this one and it looks so good on. I see what you mean about the back but what a great idea .
I've found a really nice Paula young topper with fringe and good coverage the only thing not rooted which I prefer .
So wigs away till next winter I guess ...mine are for a while. Xxx
Yes...haha! I do love this one....just wish there were more coverage in the back like it is in the front. It would be perfect! ;) I LOVE the Honey w/ Chai Latte in the Belle Tress line. So sad you don't get this one there. :( I haven't touched a wig in a few weeks! I have been topper bitten. Hee hee!
Great video Jill, Thank you!
Thank you, Michele! Your profile pic is gorgeous by the way!
Thank you! That is a photo from 1974, my wedding day.
Necesito una protesis asi Porfavor mandeme precios de ese largo y color. natural y sintetico.. Gracias
Where can I buy it? Thanks
I actually like this color better with the honey blonde! Beautiful construction, the stretch must make it feel really secure! Thanks for the tip on camouflaging the topper and easy crown, great idea! 💡 Thanks for being "weird" 😂
It is a gorgeous color! Hahaha! I definitely am not short on weird. Hee hee! THanks for watching!
Where do I buy this from I am in Australia
Where I get this toper
Does it come in brunette or reddish tones?
I believe so? You can check it out on namebrandwigs...it will show the colors it is available in. Thanks for watching!
I just got this in chocolate with caramel and I love it! Comes in some really pretty brunette tones.
Beautiful topper. Do you cut the hair on your wigs yourself?
Yes, I do! I am a Cosmetologist, but I have to say...cutting synthetic fibers on these wigs/toppers is a WHOLE different ball game I have found! You definitely wouldn't need to be a Cosmetologist to trim up your toppers/wigs. ;)
You are amazingly creative!!
Thank you, Linda! Hee hee!
It looks very gold on my iPad, but on other channels....very neutral blonde.
Wow! This looks very pretty on you! Great review! xoxo
Thank you! ;)
How many days can you leave it in?
You don’t sleep in them so they come off every day.
Is this synthetic or real hair?
No one ever shows a demo of these toppers with an updo. They make it possible to do a very nice updo or just to clip it up on top of the head.
They reaaly do! Here is one that I uploaded not long ago you may enjoy! th-cam.com/video/6kryfA-zZAU/w-d-xo.html
Can you recommend a topper that would go well with bangs? I have fine hair, i guess similar to yours? but i have a full, healthy bang. Thanks so much. (love the jon renau ones in shaded praline, but not sure what to pick)
Top Billing by Raquel Welch has a bit of a bang, but you could trim a better one in that one pretty easily! I'll be sharing this one soon! ;)
Put that on the topper on the very bottom of your topper so it well be easy to put on easily for you just my appenion 😁
Do you prefer not having a lace front?
Beautiful color!! Thank you!! xoxo
Thanks for watching! :)
Hi Jill! Thanks for a nice chat! I have a question about the color of this topper. Is Chai Latte any lighter than the Shaded Praline? I bought a Shaded Praline wig thinking it would look good on me, but it was too dark. I've fallen in love with Raquel Welch''s Shaded Biscut color and now have 3 wigs in that shade. Is Chai Latte anything close to that color? I know you have one or two wigs in Shaded Biscut. Thanks, Jill! :)
No...the Honey w/ Chai Latte is not anything like Shaded Biscuit. ;) Thanks for watching!
This topper is so beautiful on you. Love it!!! Thanks for the video, Jill!!!
If I had your hair I would never wear wigs again I hate them so uncomfortable been wearing them for yrs 34yrs I am excited to wear the topper
Hi Candy! I am having a hard time reaching for my wigs since going to Toppers! They are SOOO much more comfortable, and am enjoying them. I hope you love your new topper!
Super helpful video, thank you
What color number is this wig.. thanks!
I am not sure... I have only seen it listed on wig sites as 'Honey w/ Chai Latte ' .
Do you ever get a headache?
Can you dye these? Thank you for such a good and thorough review!
Eirin If it were human hair...yes. But this one is not. It is a heat friendly fiber...but still synthetic. 😉
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy Ah I see! It looks real! And amazing on you👌🏻 Thank you for the swift answer! ☺️
Clips are useless on my fine hair. It is like spider's web. I've tried hair extensions in the past and they don't stay because I don't have enough hair or volume for the clips to fasten onto. Also you can see everything underneath my hair. YUK!! Perhaps a wig would be a better option for me.
She said that some healthy hair is needed for the clips.
Doesn't the lace show? How can you hide the lace?
It's transparent - you really can't see unless you pay A LOT OF attention
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you, Kari! I appreciate you watching!
where do you buy these toppers Amazon?
Hi Eliza! I put all that info down in the 'show more' description box along w/ the specs on this topper. ;) Name Brand Wigs is where I have been buying my toppers and most of my wigs. Thanks for watching!
I can still see where topper begins.
Hi Donna! First off...thanks for watching today! Yes, but you have to remember that MOST people are not 'looking' for it. We know it's there...so we tend to have an overly critical eye. This one looks practically undetectable in person...and although it's not perfect, I am completely comfortable with wearing it!
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy thanks so much for replying. I am still very self conscious and afraid everyone will be able to tell. Didnt mean to be critical! :)
Hay put some extra hair in the back clip on,s
Woooow!!!
Isn't this one pretty? ! If it only had better coverage in the back..then, it would be perfect!
Great video though!!!
Sorry but you did all this wonderful work with the EASICROWN and didn’t show us any view from the back. 😮
I have purchased at LEAST 6 of these toppers. I need to wear daily. the PROBLEM with this is the hair fiber is SO FRAGILE that you seriously only get a COUPLE days wear before you will need to TRIM the back and sides. this FRIZZES and BREAKS at the ends that it looks TERRIBLE. next thing you know in a months time your 14" hair is now too short! love the color (apple pie w/ champagne) truly nayural rooted topper. but at almost 300.00 each for them to only look good for a month....DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Grow your hair to match it. You would look fantastic in longer hair!!
I may try...it will take awhile. ;) We will see!
H
Why don’t you tell people how much those things cost?
Hi Carolyn! Because that number can change, and these videos are up for years to come!...and I always post the link to where you all can look up all the information including cost. I also assume that people will research and find their best deal. Not to mention sales are always coming and going. Thanks for watching!
Turn around Jill let us see the back with the easy crown.
Are these hot ?
