Thinning Hair & Topette's

May 14, 2015

Thinning hair for women is a particularly upsetting condition. Every day we have women coming into our salon looking for a way to improve their hair style, and increase their confidence in the world. Over 28 million women experience hair loss, not including Alopecia Areata, or medically induced hair loss...so you are not alone.

However, there is an easy solution... a top-of-the-head hair addition, or topette. When I show these options to women during a consultation, a smile immediately appears on their faces.

"Wow! I have hair!" And, we have some great hair available these days. Most favored is European hair. In this category, we have Virgin (nothing, I mean nothing, has been done to this hair), slightly processed, and gently colored or lightened hair. This hair is super soft, fine, and beautiful. Other hair types include East Indian and Chinese, which are not necessarily bad hair, but some of this hair can be highly processed, so we have to be careful who we order it from. The topette is then ordered to match your hair in length & color (which can include lowlights or highlights). When it comes in, it is then cut to blend in with your hair -- you won't see where it begins or ends. It looks completely natural!

There are also different construction types, the materials used, and how the hair is tied in. By the way, all of our topettes are all hand-tied. We have scalp illusions or French parts available, which look super natural and allow the hair to lie flatter to the head. We have monofilament tops, which can allow for more height on top. These are all things we can show you and discuss when you come in for a consultation.

If you or someone you know has thinning hair, particularly on the top of the head, give us a call. There really are some great options available that will immediately make you or them feel better.

Warmest regards,
