I would say mid :( hopefully, I can prevent it from getting worse. But you inspire me to be more comfortable with the hair that I have, even if it may be difficult. I shouldn't be ashamed of something I can't really help, right? Just gotta do the best we can!
Advanced. I just got my first topper- Top Style- because of your recommendation and it's fantastic! My hair loss is diffuse and I have just enough hair to secure the 2 front clips. From your video, it really seems that Top Full may work better for me. But will it work with bangs? My hairdresser cut bangs on my Top Style & I pull my thin bio hair bangs down underneath them. Would that work with Top Full as well? Thank you so much for helping me navigate this challenging part of my life. Keep on spreading that great big Beautiful Bright Light of yours!
@@roxymanasquan9087 did you get the human or synthetic version? LOVEEEE Top Style, as you know. :) I think Top Full can still work - just keep you own bangs down if you want to use them, and cut a few bangs into the piece to help blend. While Top Full is half wig, it's still a topper...so you should be able to do any style with it as you would Top Style.
@@CornerOfHopeAndMane Thank you for your advice! I got the synthetic. I'm also going to try the additional clips you suggested as well as "It Stays" and "Got To Be Glued" to try to stave off the potential for traction alopecia.
Thank you for this video, so awesome! Half topper, half wigs are so great for people who don't like the feel of the cap construction of a wig but like the coverage. It really is the best of both worlds, that's what we always tell our customers!
Advanced. What is left is baby fine and it has been suggested that I skip toppers unless I go with a nearly shaved bio hair do. I am considering it as I love the long top over mostly shave styles.
I’ve got pretty advanced androgenetic alopecia. I’ve got about a pony tail the thickness of my thumb. Balding is all over. But it’s the worst on the top & front of my hair
Hi...I'm a newbie to your channel and I am very interested in using the topper but don't know how to begin. I got very sick back in 2018 and noticed that my hair was falling out in handfuls. My doctor said it could be because of the stress my body was going through😞. I knew that I had been loosing my hair but not as bad, as before I got sick. I'm loosing it on top of my head and on the sides.
Thank you for your video. I do not speak english very, i'm French. Does the topper not serve the head too much? I have a big head and the wigs are always too small.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this post. I recently got this piece. It is so pretty but man, my head is sore from those clips. Having a hard time not scratching my scalp & still getting it secure. Considering loosing that front clip, trying adhesive. I would have liked to see how you got this on. Do you leave any of your back hair out or tuck it all in? It really is beautiful, feels nice on.
Will this fit a larger head like mine? I am close to 23 inches. Also, can you put it up in a high pony? Would love to see the coverage in the back and in the nape area. Thanks for reviewing this topper. I'm a newbit to the helper hair bit so I have lots to learn. Thanks!
Can u wear toppers or should u wear a wig my hair is fine n thin I have no hair Los what would be better for me my hair is short but I was thinking but I didn't know what to try or go with what's better than others are what maybe I could get some help
I've been thinning for some time now & think it's time to try a topper . My only problem is having so many allergies & sensitive skin . Want to get a lower cost synthetic hair piece , but not sure if it will make my head - face break out in rash or be itchy /bother some . May not cause me any problem right away , but later . Then I'm afraid I won't be able to return it . Better to just get a real hair one & not chance it . That means a long wait to save for one :(
I did a post on this: cornerofhopeandmane.com/glue-toppers-wigs Make sure you read to the bottom as there's a hack I use to increase the area in which you can glue. It's basically a strong-hold gel that hardens to keep the topper in place. You just peel it off at the end of the day (and nope! my hair is not worse for it). It washes away when you shampoo your hair.
Hi... I am in middle level... I never knew there is something like toppers.. I heard it from you while randomly searching on hair loss on you tube... Thanks a lot dear
For me too... I have only one topper. It's jon Renau 12" top secret HD... I am from India.i have to pay almost same amount as customs as cost of topper..hope soon they will become affordable for all..
I understand, @@TheKkinnu! I have many Indian readers who ask for resources there and I just don't know of any. It's sad to have to pay so much in customs. :( Maybe you should open a shop. :)
@@TheKkinnu hey Kiran. I'm from India too. Can we connect on any other Social networks like email/Insta? And I agree with Lauren...high time there should be a shop in India now
Hi there! I'm been watching (and re-watching) your videos for a while and I love it! But there's something I've been meaning to ask since you' ve mentioned the weather in Texas... Is human hair "chiller" than synthetic to wear in very hot weather? I know you prefer synthetic due to humidity and all, but I've been wondering if human hair would be more comfortable to wear 'cos... you see...I live in Rio de Janeiro... and I sweat a lot 😰 As you've tried both, I'd like to know your opinion. Thanx!
I wish I had an intact hairline, I don't, very receded so I can't wear toppers, I wear wigs. I am happy for the women that have enough of a hairline to wear the toppers...looks like they snap on so easy and look so real :)
Thank you for making videos on this topic. I have been dealing with androgen alopecia hair loss and felt so alone with hair loss. My question for you is, did you experience hair loss before you were engaged/married? I feel completely undateable.
It was slowly thinning but I didn't realize it. I started dating my husband when I was 19, and the majority of my loss came after. I can't completely understand, but I feel for your ladies who are dating. My friend Rosemarie did a great video on this: th-cam.com/video/gkTOwK14FHk/w-d-xo.html
doubtfuldreamer My mom and dad started dating in their late teens and she had already been diagnosed with alopecia. She had (small) bald spots but was able to cover them. They were married and into her 20's her hair progressively and rapidly fell out. She is now completely bald. They've been married for over 40 yrs. And he was the "popular jock" and she was the "cheerleader". Just because u can see ur hair loss, as opposed to someone's depression, etc., not being physically detectable, it doesn't mean everyone is not "dealing" with something. Ur so strong because u wear yours day in and day out on the outside and power through! Nowadays with Kylie, Ariana, Cardi and every other celeb refusing to ever be caught dead without AT LEAST extensions, if not full wigs, hair pieces are being normalized. The right guy is going to look past ur hair, or crooked teeth, or weight, and see ur beautiful heart! So don't let that shine get diminished or clouded, cause he's out there looking for it! Those Kardashians don't know how lucky they are to have all that hair between them, haha, but ur guy will be the lucky one because he would've found a fighter, a brave, strong, no nonsense, woman! And maybe one day, ur little girl will need that strength from u, especially if they experience hair loss too. U are more than dateable, got it? Work on ur fitness, get that body banging! Go to school, earn some degrees, dance, paint, learn a new language, invest into yourself, so u build and can recognize ur value and that ur more than just ur hair. ✌🏼❤️
@@CornerOfHopeAndMane Hiya I am in the middle stages. I use the powders. I have been researching toppers as I know it's getting there. Hey did u know the got rid of the black bumble and bumble spray... I was so bummed.
Thank you for the upload :) Do you wear this at the very front of the hair line or do you wear it back a little? I have bought and sold so many toppers because I am so terrified they don't look real. I would love to try the Top Full but I am nervous x
All of my toppers I do use a little hair in front. You can see how I integrate this in the following video, I did it for Top Full, too: th-cam.com/video/vZxMuBkkgmQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey are you under any medications? Are you still hair falling out? I'm still loosing hair and have Dandruff issues too. So won't wearing it will make my scalp itchy?
I'm taking Spironolcatone and I still lose hair, but I'd say no more than the normal person, now. I've never been a big "loser", but what comes back thins dramatically.
It shouldn't make your scalp itchy, however, some people are more sensitive than others, of course. For dandruff, maybe look into Nizoral shampoo, I've heard good things about it.

Lauren!!! Hey... can you give a super quick 101. I'm about to order my first wig/topper. 101 on me: I'm 36 yrs old, Asian, thinning hair on top line and back colic area and sides. I keep hearing of human, synthetic, Remy, Virgin, lace, front lace, full or toppers. I think I can afford max 250$ (if I can get more than that would be great), I enjoy being active, running, chasing my children - so if I could wear my hair up it would be great. Sorry for the questions but I've FINALLY MADE PEACE with my thinning hair and am F'in ready to enjoy the next chapter of my God given life!
Wellll what are your questions? :) Are you looking for definition of those or a recommendation? The good news is, being Asian, you have a great chance of color matching, as most Asians find 1 or 1B to be a great match!
I am a little put off by the price of Jon renau you can get three wigs for the price of one topper and it's not even human hair! Pardon me but I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Human hair can be dyed the color of your own natural hair which I couldn't find my hair color on Jon renau size chart my hair is black not hot fudge! Sorry I just had to put that out there
*What level is your hair loss?* Beginning stages, mid, or more advanced?

Can you use the 18in even if your hair is a little bit short than 18in?
Mona Dutt yes you can you just never want to use a shorter topper then your bio hair
Since you glue it on in the front, how do you remove your topper without pulling out your remaining hairs? Thank you!
Usually it just peels right off as the glue is not a super-strong hold. A few spritzes of water well help, though.
