A stylish and simple way to give your hair more volume, our natural-looking hair toppers are a popular choice for those experiencing hair loss or thinning hair. But before you purchase any hair topper, make sure you’ve properly measured your hair loss.
Why is measuring for hair toppers important? Measuring before you buy a hair topper ensures you choose the correct base size for your area of hair loss. Measuring correctly will help prevent your hair topper from shifting, pulling and potentially creating more hair loss. This is important for all hair toppers, lace front hair toppers or without a lace front.
Follow this simple step-by-step tutorial to properly measure for a hair topper.
STEP 1: Determaine Your Area Of Your Hair Loss
There’s no easier way to determine your area of hair loss than looking in a mirror! Examine your hair closely and identify the main area of loss/thinning/patchy hair that you’d like your hair topper to conceal.
STEP 2: Measure Width & Length
Use your measuring tape to measure the width and length of the area of hair loss. To avoid irritation and additional hair loss add 1” to each of the measurements. The extra space will allow your hair topper to clip into strong hair follicles, beyond the area of hair loss, which supports the weight of the hair topper.
For example, if your side to side (width) is 2” and your front to back (length) measurement is 4”, you will need a base size that measures at least 3”x 5''.
