Is a standard human hair a good choice for a hair topper?

Almost every client — this is our default. Paired with a hair topper specifically, the combination suits women with diffuse thinning who still have hair around the sides and back. Expect matches the base lifespan from the specification.

What does a standard human hair hair topper cost?

The service band is $700 – $2,200. Where you land inside it depends on this choice and three others — hair grade, coverage area and density. We quote a written band before the order rather than after the fitting.

What are the downsides?

Needs conditioning like your own hair. Costs more than synthetic. None of those are dealbreakers on their own, but they are the reasons we would move you to a different specification if your circumstances did not fit.

Living with it: standard human hair care

Condition it - it is real hair with no scalp feeding it, so it dries out faster than your own.
Sulphate-free shampoo only; sulphates strip the cuticle and bring on the shine that gives a system away.
Air-dry where possible, and keep the dryer below medium heat.
Re-tone every few months. All human hair lifts a shade or two under regular UV exposure.
