Grey Hair Toppers
Similar to your natural color, a topper can give you a refreshed look that's stylish and modern.
The best part? It's easy to take care of your topper and keep it looking great. Below, we'll give you some tips on how to style and care for your topper so you can keep rocking that natural gray look.
What Are Gray Hair Toppers?
Gray hair toppers are a great way to disguise thinning hair or bald patches. They're also perfect for covering up those pesky grays!
Topper hairpieces come in a variety of styles, so you can find the perfect one to match your personality and lifestyle. You can choose from human hair or synthetic fibers, and there are plenty of colors and styles to choose from.
To apply your topper, start by parting your hair in the desired location. Clip the topper in place, making sure that the hair is lying flat against your head. Style and tease as desired!
Wash Properly
When you first get your topper hair pieces, it's important to wash it properly. This will help it look good and last longer.
First, gently brush it to remove any loose hair or debris. Then, soak it in a bowl of warm water with a gentle shampoo for about 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and then soak in a bowl of cool water for 5 minutes. Gently squeeze out the excess water, and lay flat to dry.
Air Dry
Though many women with toppers choose to blow-dry their hair, air drying is actually the better option. It's gentler on your hair, and it'll help your topper last longer.
If you do choose to blow-dry your hair, make sure to use a low heat setting and keep the dryer moving around your head. Don't focus the heat on any one spot for too long, or you'll risk damaging your hair and causing it to frizz.
Store Grey Hair Toppers Properly
Storing your gray hair topper properly means the difference between having a topper that looks like new for many wears and one that looks worn-out after only a few days. The first step to properly storing your gray hair topper is to carefully remove it from your head and shake out any tangles or knots.
Next, lay the topper flat on a smooth surface, such as a counter top or dresser. Make sure to store it away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators, stoves and other appliances. When not in use, wrap your gray hair topper in a scarf or a soft cloth and store it in an airtight container. This will help keep the fibers in good condition and prevent dust or dirt buildup.
Finally, avoid storing your gray hair toppers too close together as this can create tangles or cause fibers to become matted together. Keep each one in its own container or bag and hang them up when possible so they don’t get crushed. With proper storage techniques, you’ll be able to sustain beautiful looks with your gray hair toppers for much longer.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, conditioning your hair topper is essential to keeping it looking and feeling its best. Just like you would with your natural hair, use a conditioning treatment or mask at least once a week. This will help keep your hair topper looking healthy and shiny.
In addition, avoid using styling products on your hair topper. These products can cause your hair to become dry and brittle. If you must use styling products, make sure to use a product that is specifically designed for synthetic hair.
By following these simple tips, you can help keep your hair topper looking its best for years to come.
