Toppers are a quick way to add volume to hair in a flash. The word “topper” indicates that the item only covers the top of your head, unlike a full wig. Toppers come in a vast array of sizes but the most popular measurement is 4x4 inches because it lays flat on the top of most skull shapes. Adding volume to hair using a topper has become extremely popular, especially since it can be done in just a few simple steps.
Not only do toppers come in different sizes, they are also lined with different materials. For a more realistic look when adding volume to your hair, you should use a full lace or free part topper. This type of topper mimics the natural scalp and allows you to place a part where you desire. The topper that will be used as an example is full lace with clips (for ease of application and extra security) – the Top Wave 18” designed by Jon Renau in the color 1B.

Look at all that volume! You may need to play around with this technique a little to see what will work for you. You can even add toppers to wigs if you need a little extra va-va-voom at the crown of a deflated unit. Toppers are versatile little pieces that can fit seamlessly into your hairstyle routine and work with however you feel like styling your hair today – whether that’s on top of your bio hair to give it body or on top of a wig to add drama. It’s all up to you – and the sky is the limit!
