I hope you realize how much good you've done by demonstrating to others who have hair loss that they can look natural with a hair topper. It takes a lot of courage to do what you've done. Thank you for doing us a good deed!
You are very beautiful with or without the topper ! And coming out and helping other ladies in dealing with this issue is a feat of great courage. Kudos !
It's so key to find the routine and technique that makes you feel the most confident - love this! At our wig and topper company, Silk or Lace, we always share tips and tricks from personal experience for all types of hair pieces so our customer can find the best method for them!
Thank you for this! I bought the Claire topper from Uni Wigs recently because I loved your review of it and I adore it. It's my first real topper and I feel so great. I have so much more confidence. I bought it in almond frost and dyed it to match my hair! If not for you I never would have had the courage to move on to a real topper!
Yep, I bought the almond frost color and dyed it myself. I was going to cut the bangs myself as well but I was nervous so my hubby cut them for me! It looks so good!
Thank u so much for all of your videos. Those of us w/ thinning hair appreciate your courage and great tips. I have a hard time w/ the hair powders because I sweat and girl...yikes. Wish they were sweat proof.
I just use eyeshadow! my fave is nyx betrayal single brown matte shadow,stays amazingly well! I've seen some hair powders and they are the same as eyeshadow , ingreds etc, its just more expensive cause of marketing usually. I've never seen this one you are discussing though. but just a tip for someone who can't find that or want something cheaper. I have a level 6 brown, (irl salon level, not a Jon renal level lol ). have you tried a 8/32 color Jon renau? I think you would love it I just got it in Cameron, its beautiful and barely anyone shows it. looking at your real hair I think its close to match.
Great tips. I've been following your videos for a while now. You are one of the women online who really helped me get the courage to start wearing toppers and wigs over the last year. I'm in my 30s, I'm a mom, (and I also live in Texas -i think you mentioned you do too, if I'm not mistaken! ) So, thank you for putting yourself out there. Thank you for all the tips, for diminishing the shame and the stigma, and helping women feel like themselves again. It's not easy having thinning hair at this age, but I'm getting my groove back :)
CornerOfHopeAndMane Dallas area for me too, moved here a year and a half ago :) Love it so far, trying to strategize for the hot summers though. Got a few shorter wigs and ordered a Nammu swim hat - it's pretty cute over an old topper to go to the pool. Looks sporty like a baseball cap.
Yes, I've seen those!! And yep, the summers are hot.... I was accustomed when I moved here, though - I came from South Florida. If you follow me on Instagram there's a recent post of me at dinner (like 4 back as of now) with some hair sisters and even MORE hair sisters chimed in. We're going to do a Dallas area meet up soon, so if you're on Insta, comment on that post and we'll hit you up when we plan something!
Great tips, and thanks for sharing! If the hair powder ever becomes unavailable, try a tinted brown dry shampoo. That's what I used to use, and it worked terrific! Heck...you can even use cocoa powder!
Yes! I used one for many years. This is easiest to apply at the hairline, however...less overspray on the forehead. Here's my video about the spray: th-cam.com/video/ylUNXXvGVCY/w-d-xo.html
CornerOfHopeAndMane sorry I wasn’t specific enough...You can actually find tinted dry shampoo in a non spray variety. You can sprinkle it into a wide mouth container and use a brush to apply precisely to the areas you need it just as you would the powder. This is the one I used: lafes.com/products/lafes-natural-dry-shampoo-brunette Thanks for the video link, and I hope that helps, my friend!!
Really helpful tutorial, thanks Lauren! Off-topic, but the other week on one of your videos I mentioned that I was switching from my Noriko Berlin topper to a wig... I decided on Noriko Claire in Mochaccino-R, and it's on the way ☺️ I can't wait!
Thank you for this link I decided to come here and watch how you fill in your hairline. I actually do use a powder called fill in powder with Procapil that I got on anything that's much less money than Joan Rivers product. My hair is thinning almost as much is yours is on the hairline .. your powder does fill in more densely I believe Than mine however. I think maybe I'm trying to make it too thick on the forehead portion.. I do have only a few sparse hairs below my hairline so I may pluck them before filling in. When I get my black n brown henna it does make a darker base and less product is needed.. but it hasn't arrived;) .. I love the way your toppers look and appreciate your videos.
John Frieda root blur works well too and Color Wow root cover up. Just fyi in case they discontinue the JR. I also use EverPro Grey Away on my scalp. It has a little puffy sponge and some spray that really covers up your scalp too!
Hello I really enjoy all your videos, you’re very informative. What is the color of this topper and do you like the color you picked out for this topper?
Hi there, I love your vlogs, I have a similar hair colour to you and I would like to know what colour you use in the Joan rivers great hair day powder? Thanks so much 💜
I have a top secret and mine has never looked as good as yours. I swear mine came out of the box dry and crispy. It’s not too bad a day or 2 after washing, but it gets so tangled and clumps really badly before a week is up. Any tips? I wash it, let it sit overnight in apple cider vinegar, condition it, and then do the silicon mix.
I’m using Enjoy conditioner. I have not been using a leave in conditioner. I have velvasil, but I never felt like it helped, but maybe I need to give it another try.
No to both. My eyelashes are mine (the only good hair I have) and for my eyebrows I create shape and fill them in with Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow pomade. :)
Thanks again for showing us your loss .You are a brave and helpful girl.You do your eyebrows very nice and thank God for your eyelashes.Mine are going.
I wish I could see your Jon Reneau topper without it being tucked behind your ear, what it really looks like in case I want to get one. Are these human hair?
Hi there, I wanted to ask you if you can make a video and show how you tie you hair with added hair piece. I like your look with tied hair but may be I am not using a right piece to do so because it looks bad. Help!
Hi, do you mean how I wear it up? I can do it in a simple pony, but I generally do it in an top-knot sort of style. I just did a video on this here: th-cam.com/video/7ov5avi47Q4/w-d-xo.html
Lauren--as of right now you can get the Joan Rivers hair powder through Soft Surroundings! I get the catalog and I just checked the website and it's there too. Also, you save a few bucks when you buy more than one.
I have very dark natural hair but have a light blonde topper (I used to bleach my hair but now don’t due to hair loss) - how do you wear them and look natural in the front?
Have you tried toppers with a wispy bang to help with blending the front hair line? I am thinking of trying one with bang as my fro t hairline is getting thin and it is hard to blend the front.
I'm currently using Fill in powder by Irene Gari to conceal some of my hair loss. I get my first skin topper on Thursday, I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I just turned 30 but my seborrheic dermatitis caused a lot of hair loss for me in the last year. I just really hope it looks natural. Sadly, I'm currently living with the "family gossip" and would hate for everyone to find out.
What do you think of that product, +River Song? Sorry to hear about the fam - I think my family would be supportive, I just kind of don't want to talk about it. I hope you're well! :)
CornerOfHopeAndMane It gets the job done, far better than Toopik powder. Because my scalp is on the dry side from the dermatitis, it can look a bit powdery on my bad days. My family is supportive, but she's an inlaw. And before I know it. People I don't know, in states I've never been to.. know all of my business. She's from different generation, back handed compliments are her bread and butter. I've lost a lot of hair since moving in with her. I'm almost sure my dermatitis flare up is stress related. Sorry for rambling on. But I'm working with a hairstylist that works with hair loss and is customizing my topper. So hopefully it will help until I can get my hair loss under control. I've lost about half my hair density on top in 2 years 😢. I've always had thin hair so every bit of hair I lost has been very emotional for me.
Yes ma'am! I'm in this for life, though, so it doesn't bother me. I didn't practice what I preach, which is to sew/glue in more clips and rotate their usage. I have a post on it: cornerofhopeandmane.com/hair/traction-alopecia-bald-spots/
Do you take out some wefts when you wear the Top Secret in an updo? I wear a 5x6 base on my topper, but getting it to look right in an updo is a challenge. Wondering what it would be like with even more hair!
Bethany, I don't! An updo works (for me) with Top Secret. When I was wearing Noriko Milan, I had to take out wefts, even though they are the same size. Weird, huh? I have a friend who wears Top Secrets and it's the same for her. Updos work with Top Secret.
I'm not sure if that's a color, so please double check! FS, however, refers to fashion or "syrup" colors - generally, just more fashion-forward with highlights.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I also have the Top Secret, but mine REFUSES to lie flat at the front of my head. I've had it for about 6 months, washed it a few times, and nothing helps. Any suggestions?
I did try some Gorilla Snot and Got2Be, but they wouldn't stick to the bottom of the topper. (Whatever that rubbery material is.) I think the clips are tight, sometimes too tight and I have to loosen them. Maybe my head is just a weird shape? lol I can really only wear my topper if I wear my hair half up with some fibers to hide the lift from the topper.
The poly? The clear strip that runs around the base? For me, I have to put a pea-size amount on my head, and then allow it to "sit" for 5-10 minutes before smashing my topper on. The air helps it to grip. Maybe try it?
Don't give up on Jon Renau, try their French Drawn Easy Part. It comes in three different lengths. Human Hair is beautiful. Manufacturers are all starting to make the stock pieces more concave now.
FYI first of all your beautiful. I hope your wearing a real human hair topper not synthetic, only saying because it kind of looks like a shiny synthetic type of hair.... Also I'm not just saying to save $ but if you go to dollar tree they sell a brown 2 sides one light shade of brown and dark shade of brown. They also sell this awesome elf eye shadow brush that pretty near that same type of brush that your using. They ALWAYS have it in stock and I myself use it works great stays on all day until I remove at night...... Just putting it out there. So don't be discouraged if you one day can't find Joans powder. My opinion it's basically just brown eye shadow. I ordered it once before it dawned on me that it's just eye shadow with a title. Lol But if you feel comfortable buying just that, hey no problem whatever makes you happy is ALL that matters.... Stay sweet
CornerOfHopeAndMane I was thinking the same thing with artificial lights. You looked beautiful . Regardless of lights you can use dry shampoo to spray all over the topper even the underside ,so it dulled the hairs especially if it’s new. No you won’t damage it, you can always wash it out. You have to re -spray topper after you shampoo topper though. Great tip for hairline, thanks. At the hairline you can brush a little of your bio hairs out to blend in with topper too.
People "hair powder" is just brown eye shadow. Lol seriously nyc and nyx also makes great brown eye shadow. Oh "hair powder" jk. Seriously it's eye shadow.
I've tried several brown eye shadows because I really wanted that to work. They did not hold up. I did find some inexpensive hair powder that does, though. Rusk Deep Shine Color Touch Up hair powder. It was less than $10 after tax and shipping. It lasted all day and was WAY better than the eye shadows I tried.
I hope you realize how much good you've done by demonstrating to others who have hair loss that they can look natural with a hair topper. It takes a lot of courage to do what you've done. Thank you for doing us a good deed!
So sweet of you to say!
I’m so glad you shared this three years ago! It’s helped me to much.
Thank you so much! I've yet to wear my topper in public because I can't get it "right". This really helps!
Glad you found it helpful! 👍

I bought it in almond frost and dyed it to match my hair! If not for you I never would have had the courage to move on to a real topper!
That's so great! Glad you are loving her! Did you dye her yourself?
Yep, I bought the almond frost color and dyed it myself. I was going to cut the bangs myself as well but I was nervous so my hubby cut them for me! It looks so good!
Nice going, and goooo hubby! :)
Wow. Thank you. I already use those hair powders and I am starting wigs. So your video was great!! ♥️
Thank u so much for all of your videos. Those of us w/ thinning hair appreciate your courage and great tips. I have a hard time w/ the hair powders because I sweat and girl...yikes. Wish they were sweat proof.

I've switched to eye shadow also, lol....much easier on the wallet :-)

I sure do miss your videos, they were always invaluable to me. I hope you are doing well.
Awesome explanation! I am going to try applying the great hair day.
Thank you so much for the video. You are the greatest!!!!
It's a wonderful product and soooo many swear by it!

Oh, that's cool! I didn't know it was made in non-spray. Thanks for sharing!
CornerOfHopeAndMane you are most welcome!
Thank for showing your routine. These are great tips that I will use.
That product looks great on you, almost an exact color to your bio hair, looks amazing on you. Thank you for the tips, You're a beautiful girl!
My ideal color is one shade below, 8H14, but it doesn't come in this topper. Hopefully, someday. Thank you!!
Really helpful tutorial, thanks Lauren! Off-topic, but the other week on one of your videos I mentioned that I was switching from my Noriko Berlin topper to a wig... I decided on Noriko Claire in Mochaccino-R, and it's on the way ☺️ I can't wait!
I love that color, I've been wanting to try it!
I use dollar tree eye shadow & it works great
There is a website/catalogue called Soft Surroundings ... I believe they carry the Joan Rivers product.
They do! They were out for a long while but looks like they are back in stock.
Good idea. Will help many. Thanks for sharing.
Another great brand is Madison Reed Root Touchup. Same price, great product. (If they discontinue the Joan Rivers)
I bought that when Joan was still alive and I still have 2
Thank you for this link I decided to come here and watch how you fill in your hairline.

Love all your videos. They are so helpful. Thanks so much! What do you use to make your eye brows so perfect too?!
Ahhh they are far from perfect!! You should see them bare, yikes. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in Taupe.
John Frieda root blur works well too and Color Wow root cover up. Just fyi in case they discontinue the JR. I also use EverPro Grey Away on my scalp. It has a little puffy sponge and some spray that really covers up your scalp too!
I use Ever Pro Gray away too.
Thanks for the recs!
I love your video. Can you tell me what topper, length and color it is. I keep buying them but they are always to blonde. Your’s looks perfect.
Hello I really enjoy all your videos, you’re very informative. What is the color of this topper and do you like the color you picked out for this topper?
Hi there, I love your vlogs, I have a similar hair colour to you and I would like to know what colour you use in the Joan rivers great hair day powder? Thanks so much 💜

I wash it, let it sit overnight in apple cider vinegar, condition it, and then do the silicon mix.
What a conditioner are you using? I wonder if you scrap it if that may helps. Also, are you using a leave-in after the silicon mix?
I’m using Enjoy conditioner. I have not been using a leave in conditioner. I have velvasil, but I never felt like it helped, but maybe I need to give it another try.
If you aren't already, try letting the Silicon Mix sit for a few hours on the hair, too. And yes, I always follow up with a leave-in.
Are your eyebrows tattooed and do you wear eyelashes? Both look very good.Thanks for showing yourself to people who are dealing with this.
No to both. My eyelashes are mine (the only good hair I have) and for my eyebrows I create shape and fill them in with Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow pomade. :)
Thanks again for showing us your loss .You are a brave and helpful girl.You do your eyebrows very nice and thank God for your eyelashes.Mine are going.
Your presentation is wonderful!
Glad you found it helpful, Cyndi!! :)
I ordered a topper and did not like it at all. I am curious to give it another try with your helpful tips.
Oh no! Was it the hairline that didn't work? If so, then yes! Try this!
Yes, it was the hairline. Thank you
Any suggestions on how to thin a topper with too much hair?
I wish I could see your Jon Reneau topper without it being tucked behind your ear, what it really looks like in case I want to get one. Are these human hair?
A makeup sponge is good for applying too
Smart top has a lace front and I was told you can’t put a lace front topper slightly behind your natural hairline like you did. Did you trim the lace?
Have you ever used or heard of DermMatch? It’s what I currently use and love it. It may be another option if you can’t find the Joan Rivers.
I have not used but have heard of it! How do you find the water resistance?
It doesn’t come off until scrubbed off. I love it!
Great tips, thank you! Looks great on you!
Thanks!
What do you do if you have platinum blonde hair?
Hi there, I wanted to ask you if you can make a video and show how you tie you hair with added hair piece. I like your look with tied hair but may be I am not using a right piece to do so because it looks bad. Help!
Hi, do you mean how I wear it up? I can do it in a simple pony, but I generally do it in an top-knot sort of style. I just did a video on this here: th-cam.com/video/7ov5avi47Q4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
Try “Fill In” Powder. It come with a stipling brush. You can get it in Amazon.
I’m such an idiot. I had no idea how to use one of these color fill ins correctly.
Lauren--as of right now you can get the Joan Rivers hair powder through Soft Surroundings! I get the catalog and I just checked the website and it's there too. Also, you save a few bucks when you buy more than one.
Yes!! I was so sad when I wrote on the blog a few months ago about this and couldn't find it! I have two as a backup but might get one or two more. :)
Great video!
Glad you found it helpful!
I have very dark natural hair but have a light blonde topper (I used to bleach my hair but now don’t due to hair loss) - how do you wear them and look natural in the front?
The top of my head looks like a bubble head when I put a topper on. How do I fix that?
Thank you so much for this 😘
Of course!
Are you using a hh topper?
How long r u using toppers
Have you tried toppers with a wispy bang to help with blending the front hair line? I am thinking of trying one with bang as my fro t hairline is getting thin and it is hard to blend the front.
Would this work with a widows peak at the front?
Thats how i do mine ^^
Check out ultra. They have a hair powder too.
Thanks! Any favorites?
What color of the Joan River powder are you using as a brunette?TY
I use Blonde as a brunette. :)
This is an old video but I was looking for advice I just wanted to tell you there's another product called dermmatch...
What is that ?
I'm currently using Fill in powder by Irene Gari to conceal some of my hair loss. I get my first skin topper on Thursday, I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I just turned 30 but my seborrheic dermatitis caused a lot of hair loss for me in the last year. I just really hope it looks natural. Sadly, I'm currently living with the "family gossip" and would hate for everyone to find out.
What do you think of that product, +River Song? Sorry to hear about the fam - I think my family would be supportive, I just kind of don't want to talk about it. I hope you're well! :)
CornerOfHopeAndMane It gets the job done, far better than Toopik powder. Because my scalp is on the dry side from the dermatitis, it can look a bit powdery on my bad days. My family is supportive, but she's an inlaw. And before I know it. People I don't know, in states I've never been to.. know all of my business. She's from different generation, back handed compliments are her bread and butter. I've lost a lot of hair since moving in with her. I'm almost sure my dermatitis flare up is stress related. Sorry for rambling on.
But I'm working with a hairstylist that works with hair loss and is customizing my topper. So hopefully it will help until I can get my hair loss under control. I've lost about half my hair density on top in 2 years 😢. I've always had thin hair so every bit of hair I lost has been very emotional for me.
I'm down about 50%, too. I don't shed too much, however...it just comes back very, very thing. I'm so glad you have an amazing stylist.
CornerOfHopeAndMane Did you notice any hair loss where the clips are attached? I was reading an article and it freaked me out.
Yes ma'am! I'm in this for life, though, so it doesn't bother me. I didn't practice what I preach, which is to sew/glue in more clips and rotate their usage. I have a post on it: cornerofhopeandmane.com/hair/traction-alopecia-bald-spots/
Do you take out some wefts when you wear the Top Secret in an updo? I wear a 5x6 base on my topper, but getting it to look right in an updo is a challenge. Wondering what it would be like with even more hair!
Bethany, I don't! An updo works (for me) with Top Secret. When I was wearing Noriko Milan, I had to take out wefts, even though they are the same size. Weird, huh? I have a friend who wears Top Secrets and it's the same for her. Updos work with Top Secret.
Ty , you’ve helped me
That's the goal.
Hey thank's a lot! I have a question. Do you know the difference between JR:s 10rh16 and fs10/16?! ❤
I'm not sure if that's a color, so please double check! FS, however, refers to fashion or "syrup" colors - generally, just more fashion-forward with highlights.
CornerOfHopeAndMane Thanks. Both are JR colours😊
Definitely link me to it! I'd love to see 10/16 in an FS color!
Don't know how to do it....Heather at Cysterwigs has done a video not long ago😊 That fs10/16 is very common 👍
Oh yes, I HAVE seen that!! Such a shame it's not offered in more pieces! Anyways, the FS typically means bolder highlights, more fashionable. :)
The loudest sign that you’re wearing hair piece is the EXTREME shine.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I also have the Top Secret, but mine REFUSES to lie flat at the front of my head. I've had it for about 6 months, washed it a few times, and nothing helps. Any suggestions?
Hmmm...are the clips not grabbing tightly enough? Have you tried using a glue-type (strong gel) product to really smash it down in front?
I did try some Gorilla Snot and Got2Be, but they wouldn't stick to the bottom of the topper. (Whatever that rubbery material is.) I think the clips are tight, sometimes too tight and I have to loosen them. Maybe my head is just a weird shape? lol I can really only wear my topper if I wear my hair half up with some fibers to hide the lift from the topper.
The poly? The clear strip that runs around the base? For me, I have to put a pea-size amount on my head, and then allow it to "sit" for 5-10 minutes before smashing my topper on. The air helps it to grip. Maybe try it?
Don't give up on Jon Renau, try their French Drawn Easy Part. It comes in three different lengths. Human Hair is beautiful. Manufacturers are all starting to make the stock pieces more concave now.
Need to use a better mic had the volume turned all the way and it was still low
How old r u ?
FYI first of all your beautiful. I hope your wearing a real human hair topper not synthetic, only saying because it kind of looks like a shiny synthetic type of hair.... Also I'm not just saying to save $ but if you go to dollar tree they sell a brown 2 sides one light shade of brown and dark shade of brown. They also sell this awesome elf eye shadow brush that pretty near that same type of brush that your using. They ALWAYS have it in stock and I myself use it works great stays on all day until I remove at night...... Just putting it out there. So don't be discouraged if you one day can't find Joans powder. My opinion it's basically just brown eye shadow. I ordered it once before it dawned on me that it's just eye shadow with a title. Lol
But if you feel comfortable buying just that, hey no problem whatever makes you happy is ALL that matters.... Stay sweet
Debb, it's synthetic and I'm under very heavy, direct, artificial light. :) It'll definitely shine.
CornerOfHopeAndMane I was thinking the same thing with artificial lights. You looked beautiful . Regardless of lights you can use dry shampoo to spray all over the topper even the underside ,so it dulled the hairs especially if it’s new. No you won’t damage it, you can always wash it out. You have to re -spray topper after you shampoo topper though. Great tip for hairline, thanks. At the hairline you can brush a little of your bio hairs out to blend in with topper too.
Why did you cover the hairline on the part ? I thought the idea was to blend it and make it look realistic. This looks like you are wearing a wig.
I’m sure you have good info, how
ever, even with my volume all the way up, I can hardly hear you.
Not me. Volume is fine
People "hair powder" is just brown eye shadow. Lol seriously nyc and nyx also makes great brown eye shadow. Oh "hair powder" jk. Seriously it's eye shadow.
Yes and no! This is much longer-lasting and doesn't have the sparkle flecks that many shadows do.
Buy matte eye shadow.no sparkly effects. And it does last I've tried both. Just saying.
I've tried several brown eye shadows because I really wanted that to work. They did not hold up. I did find some inexpensive hair powder that does, though. Rusk Deep Shine Color Touch Up hair powder. It was less than $10 after tax and shipping. It lasted all day and was WAY better than the eye shadows I tried.
I can’t stand the scent of the Joan Rivers product; so disappointing!!!
