Types of Hair Toppers: Finding the Perfect Match

Hair toppers are a great way to add volume, coverage, or a touch of length to your natural hair. They come in a variety of styles, materials, and bases, so finding the right one for you can feel overwhelming. But fear not! This guide will break down the different types of hair toppers available, helping you choose the one that best suits your needs.

Hair Material:

• Synthetic: A budget-friendly option that requires minimal maintenance. They come in a variety of colors and styles but cannot be styled with heat.
• Human Hair: Offers the most natural look and can be styled with heat just like your own hair. However, they are more expensive and require more care. Rest assured, all our hair pieces at CEEME are made up of 100% human hair.

Base Type:

• Lace Base:Creates a realistic scalp look, especially along the hairline. Lace bases are breathable and comfortable to wear, but they may be more delicate than other options.
  • Pros:Breathable and lightweight, ideal for warm weather. Creates a realistic hairline, especially with Swiss lace, a delicate and transparent material.
  • Cons:Requires more care to prevent tearing or damage. May not be the best choice for those with sensitive scalps.
    
• Monofilament Base:A sheer mesh material that allows your scalp to show through, creating a very natural look. Monofilament bases are durable and easy to care for.
  • Pros:Comfortable and soft on the scalp, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Allows for multi-directional parting for versatile styling. Durable for long-lasting wear.
  • Cons:The hair parting is usually pre-determined. May show scalp through the base material under bright light.
    
    
• Silk Base:Offers the most realistic scalp look, especially for toppers with a center parting. Silk bases are comfortable to wear, but they may be more expensive than other options.
  • Pros:Unmatched realism, mimicking the look of your scalp perfectly. Breathable and comfortable. Hides knots easily, eliminating the need for camouflage techniques.
  • Cons:Often the most expensive option. 

Attachment Style:

• Clip-in: The most common type of attachment. Clip-in toppers are easy to apply and remove, making them a versatile choice.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a hair topper:

• Hair Length: Toppers come in a variety of lengths, from short styles that add volume to your crown to long styles that can add length and fullness.
• Hair Color: Choose a topper that matches your natural hair color as closely as possible. Many toppers come in a variety of colors, including highlighted and lowlighted options.
• Hair Density: The density of the hair topper will determine how much volume and coverage it provides. Choose a topper that is the same density as your natural hair for a seamless blend.
• Base Size: The base size depends on how much coverage you desire. At CEEME we offer a few popular sizes for those looking for low coverage all the way up to high coverage. However, if you are interested in a custom size, please email us and we can place you a custom order.
• Hair Parting: Most hair toppers come with a full hair parting. However, we understand that for those with sparse hairline would like a parting that is more natural for your style. Therefore, we allow for customization for the parting based on the chart below as you curate your piece.
