It is important to identify the area of coverage you need when choosing a hair topper. Wearing the right-sized base will ensure your topper will look natural and feel comfortable. To identify how much coverage you'll need, first, determine the area of your hair loss. Hair loss can be at the part, crown, hairline, or throughout. With a fabric measuring tape, record the measurements of the widest points of your hair loss, from front to back and side to side across the area where you are experiencing hair loss. You can use a mirror or ask someone to help you for the best results.
When you write down the measurements, don't forget to add one inch to each measurement. This will allow for extra hair on each side for where the clips can be attached comfortably. Make sure the area you plan to clip the hair topper into is healthy hair and can support the weight of the hair topper.
Since hair loss can be progressive, it is important that you retake and record these measurements every six months. This is to ensure you are wearing the correct base size and prevent any damage to your biological hair which can be caused by wearing the wrong size.
UniWigs has a variety of hair toppers to help customers who are suffering from different stages
of hair loss. We understand you might feel confused about how to choose the right one. Here
please kindly check our Beginner’s Guide page for more details:

Here are some topper recommendations for different stages of hair loss:
If you have thin hair in the front/hairline or an obvious thinning top, our 5.5" X 5.5" Claire topper would be a great option for you.
If you have thinning top & crown, a large coverage hair topper would be good. Here we recommend our Melanie and Courtney hair topper. Both of them are in large base sizes and they are able to add instant hair volume. You can order any of them according to your budget.
If you have a receding hairline or baldness in the front, a lace front hair topper or a hair topper with bangs would be better. Here are the recommendations:

6.5"X6.5" Upgrade Claire Plus With Bangs

My hair is thinning all over and receding. I’d love to have an 18inch human hair topper with roots and very low shine.

Based on the infos you offered, we think you may need a hair topper with large base size. It seems that the Melanie Mono Top Human Hair Topper can match your needs. This hair topper features a 8.5" * 9" Large Mono Top Base, which can offer full coverage over the top or crown area. Here is the product link for this topper : http://bit.ly/AB04MelanieTopper

My hair is very short. Will the larger base cover my entire head?
admin 2020-01-09 16:56:46
Dear Christine , the larger base like 10x10 will cover 80% of your own hair , but it may not be able to cover your entire head, we do recommend you to go with the wig if would like to cover the entire head.
Contact our customer service if you have any questions .

My natural hair is very fine and quite curly. It’s also short. I’m wondering if it is even possible CMH to find a human hair topper that would look natural. I’ve only seen straight hairtoppers. Do people with curly hair perm the topper?
admin 2020-12-31 23:32:22
Dear Valued Customer,

We do have curly toppers available on our website, but would you please send us a few pictures of your curl hair? We would love to check for you and offer you a better recommendation.

I have a receding hairline which gives my fore head a very severe look. My hair is thin only in the very front and is reasonably full everywhere else. I was thinking that bangs/fringe might soften my look. My hair is slightly grey since I am 72. What hair topper do you suggest?
