After losing all my hair to chemotherapy, I lost a great deal of what grew back to post-cancer medications. With the help Lacie Rodriguez at No Filter Beauty and Seema at Dimples, I chose the Clio 12 L Remy Human Hair Topper in Honey Bun Rooted. This is my first hair purchase. It matches my bio-hair perfectly. I’m very happy with the choice.
Out of the box, the topper needed to be dampened, sprayed lightly with heat protectant and blown dry to redirect the hair away from my face. I later ran a flat iron over it. A cork head mannequin is essential for styling. I’ve had the topper less than a week and already received compliments from strangers. No one has any idea I am “wearing hair.”
Yes, this topper is expensive. Dimples’ return policy made me feel comfortable making the commitment to buy it.
If this is your first topper, I suggest watching LOTS of YouTube videos on choosing, styling and maintaining toppers. Buy needed accessories in advance of receiving your topper. Take advantage of professional advice. Doing so will likely increase your confidence.
The best tip I found on-line is to pin your topper to a cork mannequin head through the metal clips. Don’t put T-pins through the lace mesh as doing so can damage the topper and cause hair loss. Other tips: Be gentle and use low heat while styling. Keep hair dryers and other heat tools away from the roots to avoid burning.
Best wishes on your hair purchase journey!
