There’s so much more to finding the perfect hair system than pinpointing the right shade or deciding whether to opt for a human hair or synthetic style.
The wig type you select can make a huge difference to how you look and, more importantly, feel in your wig. Hair toppers and full wigs are particularly popular wig types amongst our customers and the wider wig wearing community, but which is right for you? Here we compare hair toppers and full wigs to answer that very question…
Before we delve into the reasons to choose a hair topper, we thought we’d begin by defining exactly what a hair topper is.
Beauty Mag offers a rather succinct explanation for those unfamiliar with the humble hair topper:
“A hair topper is the perfect solution to thinning hair for women. The term refers to a clip-on wig intended to conceal balding or thinning spots by blending in with your natural style and color. Having beautiful hair can do wonders for anyone’s self-confidence, and using a hair topper is an affordable and simple way to help your hair look exactly how you want it to.”
With hair toppers of better quality than ever, this wig alternative is growing in popularity as a simple, effective and affordable way to conceal hair thinning and baldness as well as boost volume and the overall look of natural hair.
A topper provides excellent coverage for a single area and is available in synthetic or human hair as well as a range of shades, styles and lengths. Its easy application and multitude of colour choices mean the right topper can clip in and blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
Unlike toppers, which look very much like miniature wigs, full wigs deliver total coverage for your head making them perfect for people suffering from hair loss in multiple areas.
Thanks to its complete coverage, there’s no need to worry about how a full wig blends with existing hair. Although choosing a wig colour that’s as close to the colour of your existing hair is recommended for a natural, discreet look.
Full wigs are however costlier than hair toppers, which makes opting for a full wig a big investment for many. The flexibility of owning a wig – or a number of them – however, means you can enjoy a low maintenance style.
Again full wigs are available in synthetic and human hair, whilst the vast range of styles and shades to choose from is certain to leave you spoilt for choice.
Choosing between a hair topper and a full wig really does come down to your circumstances. If you’re suffering from hair loss in a single area – especially if it’s on top of the head – a topper may provide a better, more affordable way to conceal your bald spot.
If you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning across multiple sites, a full wig is recommended. Full wigs provide an affordable, safe, surgery-free, and discreet long term solution for people with permanent hair loss.
Those with temporary hair loss or thinning will also find a full wig a great short term solution that safeguards scalp health so the follicles underneath can successfully recover.
