Onyx 18" Seidentopper

Good news — our toppers are universal, so unlike a wig you don't need to measure your head or worry about a cap size. The base suits a wide range of heads, and the secure clips simply attach to the hair you already have.

What matters more is choosing the right cap construction for your needs: lace for the flattest, most undetectable hairline, Grand for a full hairline with more coverage, and silk for the most volume (though you'll need some hairline of your own to blend it).

For the most natural-looking blend, your topper should be the same length as your own hair — or a few inches longer if you'd like to add some length. Going a few inches longer is a beautiful option if your own hair has lost length over time or you've been missing the longer hair you used to have. We don't recommend choosing a topper that's shorter or significantly longer than your own hair, as the layers won't sit naturally together.

Yes. Because it's real human hair, you can use your hot tools just like you would on your own hair. Our pieces air-dry straight and take heat styling well. As with your own hair, use a heat protectant and keep the temperature moderate to keep it looking beautiful for as long as possible.

You can blow dry it dry, but we do not recommend doing a blow out with a round brush (if taking to your hairdresser ensure they know this too!). Pulling with a round brush will break the knots on your lace top over time, and cause shedding on your wig.

Yes — and this is one of the most beautiful things about a well-made topper. Low ponytails, half-up styles, and soft buns all work beautifully.

Because it's human hair, it can technically be colored — but we always recommend caution here. Coloring is permanent, it can't be undone, and getting it wrong can shorten the life of a piece you've invested in. If you want to adjust the color, please have it done by a professional experienced with wigs and toppers, and ideally talk to us first. We never recommend bleaching any of the colored pieces. Often the better path is choosing the right color from the start, which we're happy to help you with.

When worn correctly, a hair topper will not damage your own hair. We've designed our toppers specifically with the health of your natural hair in mind. Our pressure-sensitive clips are made to hold securely without pulling, snagging or stressing the hair shaft, and our cap is lightweight and breathable, so there is no heavy weight dragging on your scalp. Where possible, we recommend our larger base toppers, as they clip into the stronger, healthier hair around the sides of your head rather than the more fragile thinning areas on top — protecting the hair that needs it most.

Possibly — our lace topper was designed with this in mind. Because the lace top sits very flat, it's easier to blend for women who have less hair at the hairline than a thicker silk-top topper would be. That said, if the hair at your front and sides is very sparse, a wig may give you a more secure, worry-free result. This is a great one to talk through with us directly so we can look at what you're working with.

You don't need to wash it nearly as often as your own hair — every 10 - 20 wears is a good guide, or sooner if it starts to feel greasy. Use lukewarm water and a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo made for human hair, condition the mid-lengths and ends (not the roots or the cap), and let it air-dry. Be gentle. Air dry on a wig stand and style. Easy!
