Hairline Topper Tutorials & Installation Guide

Before You Start: What You Need

For the best result, prepare these items before you install your Hairline Topper:

• A wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
• Light hold styling spray (optional)
• Rat-tail comb (for parting and detail work)
• Hair clips or pins to section your own hair
• A mirror in good natural lighting

Our signature Hairline Topper features ultra-thin Swiss lace, a 10.5" × 1.75" hairline design, and a clipless Halo Wire option for zero-tension wear.

How to Install the Hairline Topper

Follow these simple steps for a secure and natural-looking installation.

Step 1: Prepare Your Own Hair

• Start with clean, dry hair.
• Comb your hair gently away from the hairline and temples.
• If needed, lightly smooth frizz or flyaways with a small amount of serum.

Step 2: Adjust the Halo Wire (Clipless Option)

• Place the Halo Wire around the back of your head, like a headband sitting low behind the crown.
• Adjust the tension so it feels snug but not tight. It should sit comfortably without digging into the scalp.

Step 3: Position the Hairline Topper

1. Hold the Hairline Topper by the lace front.
2. Align the lace edge with your natural hairline or slightly in front of it, depending on your preference.
3. Gently lay the lace against your skin, smoothing it from the center outward toward the temples.

Step 4: Secure the Topper

• If you are using the Halo Wire: let your own hair fall over the wire to hide it.
• If your piece includes optional clips and your hairline is strong enough, you may clip it into place for extra security.
• Check in the mirror to ensure the lace lies flat with no visible bumps or folds.

Step 5: Final Check

• Turn your head gently side to side.
• Check under different lighting (natural daylight is best).
• Adjust the position slightly if needed for the most natural look.

How to Blend With Your Own Hair

Blending is the key to an undetectable hairline. Follow these tips for a seamless transition:

• Use a rat-tail comb to gently pull small sections of your own hair forward, around the temples and sides.
• Mix these sections with the hair from the topper using your fingers or a soft brush.
• If you part your hair, align the part on the topper with your natural part line.
• Use a light mist of styling spray to smooth everything together — avoid heavy, sticky products near the lace.

The goal is to create a soft, diffused transition from your natural hair into the topper, especially around the front and temples.

How to Style (Straight, Waves & Curls)

Because the Hairline Topper is made from 100% human hair, you can style it just like your own hair.

Straight Styles

• Use a heat protectant spray.
• Set your flat iron to a moderate temperature (avoid extreme heat).
• Straighten in small sections, moving from roots to ends.

Soft Waves

• Use a curling wand or iron on a low to medium setting.
• Wrap small sections away from the face for a natural framing effect.
• Allow curls to cool, then gently comb through with fingers for soft waves.

Curls & Volume

• Curl only from mid-lengths to ends to keep the root area natural.
• Use minimal product to avoid buildup on the lace.
• Finish with a light-hold spray to maintain movement.

How to Wash & Care for Your Topper

Proper care will help your Hairline Topper last longer and stay beautiful.

Washing

1. Detangle gently from ends upward using a wide-tooth comb.
2. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo.
3. Submerge the hair and gently move it through the water — do not rub or twist.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean lukewarm water.

Conditioning

1. Apply conditioner mainly from mid-lengths to ends.
2. Avoid heavy product near the lace or base.
3. Leave for a few minutes, then rinse well.

Drying

• Gently squeeze out excess water with a towel — do not wring.
• Place on a wig stand or hanger to air dry.
• If you must blow dry, use the lowest heat and keep the dryer moving.

Daily Wear & Comfort Tips

• Do not sleep or swim in your Hairline Topper.
• Remove the piece gently by lifting from the sides and back.
• Store it on a stand or in a breathable bag when not in use.
• If your scalp is sensitive, avoid tight clips and rely more on the Halo Wire for support.
• Rotate between styles to reduce stress on any one area.

Common Mistakes & Easy Fixes

The lace looks visible at the hairline

• Try shifting the topper slightly forward or backward.
• Make sure the lace is lying completely flat against the skin.
• Use a small amount of translucent powder along the edge if needed.

The topper feels too tight

• Loosen the Halo Wire slightly until it feels secure but comfortable.
• Check that no hair is pulling or caught under the base.

The topper feels too loose

• Tighten the Halo Wire a little at a time.
• If your hairline is strong enough, you can use a couple of clips for extra hold.
