Hair topper bases are one of the most confusing terms for new wearers. We recommend understanding your client's needs thoroughly and then deciding which type of base material or construction may suit her best.
Silk top: Also called silk toppers. Most hair toppers for women provided by Newtimes Hair have a silk top. The bottom layer is usually monofilament or lace. The hair is hand-tied to the bottom layer and comes out of the silk top, resembling real hair from a natural scalp. Our best hair toppers for women with a silk top are:
Orpha Silk Hair Topper,
Teena Fishnet Topper With a Silk TopMonofilament: Monofilament bases are the most durable. However, the mono top hair toppers usually have a PU perimeter to strengthen it, so it doesn't split. The best mono toppers are
Eloise Mono Topper and
Sydney Mono Topper.
Lace: Lace hair toppers are the second most natural-looking hair toppers for women after silk top toppers. Besides, lace is the most breathable and comfortable base material.
Skin: Skin or polymer hair topper bases are generally quite durable. They are transparent so they are less noticeable on the scalp. Besides, they have a very smooth waterproof surface, so they are much easy to clean and can dry quickly.
Machine wefts: Many hair toppers for women have a machine weft around partially the sides and the full back. The weft stabilizes the topper and also grants the wearer perfect breathability.
Lace front: Lace-front hair toppers for women have the front part around the forehead made of lace, and the rest is made of one or more other materials. They are designed for wearers with receded hairlines or bald patches in the front. Lace front design gives the most natural hairlines and parts.
