How do I choose a hair topper base size?
To choose the correct hair topper base size for you, it is important that you firstly measure your hair loss area.
To do this, use a fabric measuring tape to measure your hair loss area from the front to the back.
Next, measure your hair loss area from side to side. Make sure to record these measurements. When you write down your measurements, don't forget to add one extra 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 has enough healthy hair that can support the weight of a hair topper.
Top Tip: Measure your hair loss area every six months to ensure you are wearing the right hair topper.
What are the pros and cons of a Mono Base?
With a mono base, individual hairs are hand-tied onto a fine mesh material that allows both light and air to pass through. The monofilament base allows you to change the part as you like for great styling versatility, which can give a natural look. Mono bases are also extremely durable and have a long lifespan.
Pros of a Mono Base Comfort: The monofilament base is soft and comfortable to wear. It will not irritate your scalp, and can be a great option for people with sensitive skin due to chemotherapy treatments or other skin ailments. Naturalness: The mono base can mimic the look of natural hair growth and provides a free and movable hair parting for easy styling.
Cons of a Mono Base Breathability: While mono bases are smooth and comfortable, they have a slightly thicker material which means that mono bases are not as breathable as lace bases.
