What is a Hair Topper?A hair topper is a partial wig that’s smaller than a full wig and is attached to existing hair using clips, tapes, or other adhesives. Hair toppers come in various styles, lengths, and colors and the best hair toppers blend seamlessly with natural hair. They are commonly used by people experiencing hair loss or thinning to add volume and coverage to specific areas.3

Emily’s StoryInvesting in yourself by working out regularly improves the body as well as the mind. And if wearing a hair topper also makes you feel more confident, you can absolutely wear it while you work out.Emily has been wearing a hair topper for two years after losing most of her hair due to an autoimmune disease. As a professional figure skater and coach, Emily leads a very busy and active lifestyle.11“In addition to figure skating, I take tap, ballet, and jazz dance lessons. I visit the gym every day and participate in pilates, kickboxing, and TRX classes. I wear my hair topper for all of these activities.”

Unmatched Hair Qualityfor a Truly NaturalAppearanceAt Daniel Alain, our commitment to quality means we exclusively use the finest ponytail hair for our wigs and toppers. Ponytail hair has the cuticles intact and every strand flows in the same, smooth direction, resulting inexceptionally soft and long-lasting hairpieces that retain their radiant luster year after year.In contrast, many human hair wigs and toppers are made from ‘floor hair’, which is swept from salon floors and collected from hair brushes. Floor hair undergoes extensive chemical processes that strip away the natural characteristics and qualities, causing the hair to tangle and lose its sheen.13“The hair quality of my Daniel Alain topper is incredible. It’s so natural and moves so wonderfully. It’s just like my real hair, only better!”~ Kelly, Daniel Alain Customer
14The Advantages ofHairpieces Made withPolytail Hair:• Smooth and Tangle-free: Our wigs and toppers are exceptionally soft and tangle-free.• Natural Look and Feel: The cuticles of the hair are intact which creates a natural look and feel that mimics a real head of hair.• Lustrous Shine: Our hairpieces have a radiant luster that enhances the overall natural beauty.• Durability: Our hair has undergone minimal processing and this means a longer lifespan for the wig or topper.• Quality and Prestige: Our meticulous sourcing and crafting process results in a premium, luxury product.
Your Comfort,Our PriorityWe understand that wearing a hairpiece may be considered uncomfortable, especially if you’re new to wearing hair. At Daniel Alain, we’ve made it our mission to prioritize your comfort, and our wigs and toppers are not only designed to look completely natural but also to ensure they’re kind to the most sensitive skin.Our wig caps and topper bases are made using the highest-quality Swiss lace in the world. Swiss lace is renowned for being strong, lightweight, and breathable. If you’re in active hair loss your scalp may be extra sensitive, and our Swiss lace is incredibly fine and soft, making our pieces comfortable to wear all day long.15

Mirna’s StoryMirna's journey with hair loss began during pregnancy when a bald spot appeared at the nape of her neck and gradually grew larger. Like many others facing hair loss, she felt embarrassed and hopeless. Unsure when, or if, her hair loss would ever stop, she desperately tried to hide her condition by teasing her hair to make it appear fuller and using clip-in extensions and root sprays to conceal her increasingly visible scalp. Unfortunately, Mirna’s hair loss continued to progress and she took to wearing baseball caps and avoiding situations where she would be around a lot of people. Mirna’s bright, vivacious, outgoing personality was replaced by someone she no longer recognized. She became reclusive and desperate to conceal her secret shame from the world.19“If you don’t feel beautiful in your wig, you’ll always be on the hunt for the perfect one.”“I didn’t want anyone to find out I was losing my hair. It made it very difficult for me to be my normal, outgoing self. I was very secretive.”.”
22The burden of secrecy and isolation took their toll and when medications and cortisone shots didn’t produce the promised results, she turned to wigs.Desperate, she visited a local wig shop that didn’t provide guidance, options, or take measurements; they simply placed a wig on her head. Despite not feeling at all comfortable with her choice, and not knowing there were better options available, she purchased it. Over the next few months, she tried to improve it with color and styling, but it never truly felt like a part of her.In a continued pursuit of a wig that made her feel beautiful and more like her true self, Mirna discovered Follea wigs by Daniel Alain. This discovery became the beacon of hope that allowed her to regain control over her appearance and self-confidence.Being accurately measured for her piece by an expert consultant was not something she had experienced the first time she bought a wig, and being presented with the correct size wig cap meant she had the most comfortable and secure fit. From the moment Mirna put her Follea wig on, her inner confidence began to shine through.“You have to like what you see in the mirror. You have to feel it deep down. Anyone can give you a compliment or insist you look good, but it doesn’t mean anything until you can feel it for yourself. My Follea wig makes me feel beautiful from the inside.”
23• Accept Your Hair Loss: Hiding your situation only hinders your progress and prevents you from taking steps toward feeling more confident and comfortable with your appearance.• Seek Support: Having the support of friends or family is essential because they provide invaluable guidance and perspective. Those close to you are genuinely invested in your happiness and well-being.• Research Your Options Thoroughly: Impulsively buying a wig without understanding fit or quality will probably lead to discomfort and regret.• Find a Reputable Wig Company: Choose a company that stands behind its products and offers support throughout your journey. Such companies provide education, help with measurements, offer a range of color choices and cap sizes, and have an accommodating return policy. Check social media and real customer reviews to identify the best brands.• Get Measured for Your Wig: Comfort and security are key. Find a company that helps with accurate measurements and offers a variety of cap sizes.• Invest in the Best You Can Afford: Investing in the best quality human hair wigs may initially come with a higher price tag, but cheaper alternatives often lead to dissatisfaction and multiple purchases.Mirna’s Tips for BuyingYour First Wig
If you’ve worn human hair wigs before and found they needed to be replaced more often than you’d like, you may be concerned about getting your money’s worth from a more expensive option. After all, over time these costs can really accumulate.Our wigs and toppers will last between two and four years with proper care and maintenance, and ofteneven longer. While one of our pieces may cost moreat the outset, it’s likely to save you money in the long run by not needing to be regularly replaced.“I’ve had my first wig for 4 years, and it still looks as good as new.”~ Kelly, Daniel Alain Customer24Invest in Longevity
