Wow this looks so natural, no one would tell this isn't your real hair!
Heather.... You are amazing! I love your honesty and how you bare your soul to help us! You provide the most realistic value in your videos! You're definitely THE go to person, our guru, for research and help in decisions for alternate hair. This is so helpful because I'm playing around with the thought of a topper... As I'm waiting on Kendall by HM to arrive on my door step this Monday, Dec 4th... Which, I JUST ordered her from your site 5 days ago... And had you guys wait 1 more day to fulfill cuz I was having a hard time with color choice, which your customer care specialist, Kelly V.... helped me tremendously via emails to decide. But I digress, and sorry not sorry for the shameless plug for your amazing customer care people! Anyways, I'm thinking down the road , to get a topper to alternate with the wigs..as my work hair.

You are so sweet and so open, it makes me want to cry. Female baldness can be so painful. Thank you for being honest.

I was searching for wiglet videos and so glad I came across yours! What an amazing bubbly personality! I’m positive you could promote anything and people would hang on every word you say. If you’re not a TV personality, you should be. And thank you for all the great information and tips.
Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad I could be of help!
Came here looking at how to apply a topper to my aged mother.. WOW! you are SO gorgeous! Love you xxx
Awww thank you so much!
I just want to say that your personality is a joy - I just love your attitude and what you see what you get method of communicating - great personality - great attitude - great video - no shame and no reason to have shame - thank you for this - you are just wonderful!
Thanks so much, Peewee!
Heather, you are my #1 reviewer when I really need some in depth information. Thank you for all the creativity you bring to your reviews. I never get the impression that you are "selling", but rather "teaching" when you do a review of any kind. Hope that your recent on line problems are being resolved and that you will be with us wig information seeking people!
Thank you for the sweet comment, Dorothy! We're glad we're able to help! 😘 - CysterWigs Team
I have hair like yours and I hated my topper so I shaved my head and wear wigs and love that better! Love your videos!
Hi
Why did you dislike your topper please
Do you find the wigs to be itchy and hot? I hate my wig that I ordered so I ordered a topper from cysterwigs
Heather, You answer our questions as you do your review and are great with your explanations. Thank you!
You're amazing Heather. Thank you for your help with hair issues.
Thank you so much for this video I’ve watched soooo many and I couldn’t find what I needed to know until I cam across yours ,, I love your upbeat attitude
Your hair has grown so much! I am new to the “Wig World” and have been watching a ton of videos. My bio hair is not even close to a topper yet, however, I am hoping in the future this is all I will need. I found this video ( and ALL your videos) to be SOoooo informative and helpful! Thank you for your detailed, in-depth reviews. Truly appreciated!
Thank you so much for the info!!!! I needed this video! I’m going thru the second round of medicine induced hair loss. I’ve lost so much this time that I’m looking into extensions/toppers, etc. It’s not chemo, but my MS meds that are the culprit.
Love your video. And adore your personality, too! Thanks for an open look into choosing the right topper.
Thanks so much, Carol! Hope it helped! :)
I absolutely LOVE your videos. They are so very informative and its like talking to a really good friend. THANK YOU! I always learn from your videos
Hi, Ellee! So glad you find the vdeos helpful!
Really the most informative video I've seen.She just has such a positive, straight forward attitude. Enjoyed watching.
Thank you!!
Excellent demonstration. I NEVER thought about a "Topper" until now! If I had not seen the demonstration, I would NOT have known you were wearing a "Topper."
It looks VERY nice and Natural Thank you for sharing.
So glad this was helpful to you Cyneathia!
Well I was reviewing Toppik and came across toppers, who knew?!! Thanks for this, you’re lovely
Thank you so much, Hilary!
Thanks so much! Great video, lots of information and your great attitude really helps with such a stressful situation.
Thank you so much for the comment! I hope you are doing great!
Love you're personality and you provided great practical tips I haven't heard anywhere else yet, thanks alot!
Thank you so much, Jen! I'm so glad I can be of help!
Thank you! All of the tips about fit and texture are so important. I have some wave (curls at the bottom when long and frizzes when humid) and straight hair on top would look weird.
Thanks so much for the comment! I hope you are doing great today!
Hi Heather. Loved your video. I’m in Australia where there isn’t the same amount of choice with wigs and toppers as there is in the US. I just bought a topper that I’m happy with, but after watching your video I’m realising that I probably should have been given more advice about weight and how to take it off without damaging my thinning, brittle hair. At the moment it’s winter here so my bio hair is sitting straight and blends in with the topper, but I’ll have the same problems as you in summer when it’s humid and my bio hair turns frizzy. A wig might be too hot in the Australian heat so It’s difficult to find the best solution for all year. I love your positivity and humour with regard to the distressing problem of hair loss. Seeing your video has made me feel that I’m not alone and that it’s not the end of the world!
Thank you so much, Sue! I'm so glad you feel that you're not alone in your situation. There are loads of women all across the world in the same boat as us, and feeling like you're part of a larger community of people who understand really helps lift your mood a little, doesn't it?
You have such a great attitude! And you look beautiful! I was always so ashamed of my very thin hair, but you showed me that your hair is not YOU!
Thank you so much, Kristine! It's not like thinning hair is proof that you're a bad person -- it just HAPPENS, so it's nothing you should feel ashamed of (or be made to feel ashamed of). I'm glad I could be of help. The most important thing to remember in this is that you're not alone.
Your reviews are great ! Thanks
Great video. I love your upbeat positive attitude. I think you're lovely.
Thanks so much!
So do I! I enjoyed your video and your positive happy go lucky personality, even when you have hair loss. My hair isn't thinning as much as yours but it is thinner than it used to be and I wear a topper sometimes too. Thanks for the info as I may get another one sometime.
U r so qute n lovely smiling.too much inclusive vdo.thanks.
This is the best topper/extra hair video I've seen. You're very good at teaching without just showing us just-how-good-you-look-in-your-toppers/wigs like most of these women are doing in their videos. Did you go to wig shops at first or just order right from the web? My first wig shop visit wasn't too successful. I didn't learn anything except that I need to cough up $1500K for a topper made of human hair.
Thanks so much for the comment I hope you are doing great!
Heather you saved me from making a mistake cuz I did or do want a topper for summer. Thank you for the info. Btw..that topper looks really good on you.
Yay!! So happy to read this message!
Young lady your so down to earth, and I appreciate your help and advice.
Thank you so much, Sandra! Glad to be of help!
This looks so good on you! Thank you for your video ☺
Thanks, Ashley! Glad it was helpful to you! :)
So kind of you to make this video. Thank you. And I totally agree, it looks very natural and beautiful...as are you.
Suzen, thank you so much for commenting! You are truly amazing! I hope you are having a beautiful day today!
This is really so helpful, thank you and bless you!
Loved the video!! it was sooo informative!! I love your honesty, and how you explain things to us, so simple, I love that Heather!!! Thank you for a great video!! Love xoxoxo
So happy I can help Jackie! Thank you for watching!
You look great with this topper. It suits you very well. Thank you for the demonstration.
Thank you so much for the comment! I hope you are doing great!
Hello, I was looking for a video like yours, to teach with a person with the problem of alopecia and not with people who have a lot of hair. Thank you very much and may God bless you, I also have the same problem as you, again Thank you very much.
You're very welcome, Lory! Glad to be of help!
My hair thinning is a lot like yours, and it was always thin even before it started to fall out. Thank you for all the tips. I wear wigs but I always wondered if I could wear a topper.
Glad to be of help, LD NOTW. If you have any more questions, feel free to make use of our Help Desk and Customer Review Blogs on our site. We'll try to help as much as possible! :)
I saw this video too late and had already bought the easiPart HD that is narrow. I picked up some tips from you on how to possibly make it work, but I really like the Top Crown base you showed here. My hair is thin all over like yours but just longer. Thank you for your video but more importantly, for being so down to Earth and open about hair thinning. It made me feel more accepting of my own hair loss after watching a few of your videos.
Thank you for sharing your experience, SAMALU. The more we share openly with each other, the more empowered we can become. 😁😁😁-Whitney
@@CysterWigs Thanks Whitney 💛
Wonderful help for someone who needs this. Excellent cheery info. Thankyou!😍✌
My pleasure, Laura! Glad you found it useful!
Best topper vid on tube she knows her stuff so cute too love her 😉👍🏻
Thank you!
Looks so cute on you. Love the color.
Thank you, Ariom! :)
Thank you for your video...the top of my head is thinning as well and I am very sad about it...you have giving
me courage to try a topper...btw -I think your bio hair is quite beautiful
I am glad that you have found Heather's videos encouraging.
We Cysters have to stick together and help each other out.
You got this! ;)

Thank you! This is so helpful!

Thank you Heather for sharing. You are a good person. Fantastic video, very informative.
Thanks so much, KBM KBM! So glad you found it helpful!
Very nice review/demo! U are right! It looks natural!!! Thank u!
Thank you for this video. I have hair loss due to a medical issue. I want to get a topper or wig but I had no idea how to go about it. Your video has really helped me a lot. I am so embarrassed over my hair loss. Your video is so positive it makes me feel less embarrassed.
It's hard losing your hair, especially for women. You're not alone, Shelly.
Are you on Twitter?
You bet! twitter.com/cysterwigs - easy and we look forward to seeing you there!
I enjoy your clarity and the detail about this subject. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
You look lovely in that topper great info heather. X
Thank you so much, J! Glad to be of help! :)
Thank you for a very informative video. It actually has info a prospective topper/wig wearer would need. Because the hair on top and around my face are very light, I.e. white, going back into light ash brown/blonde(I always called it silver mouse!), I guess it is not as noticeable a person with very dark hair maybe. When the wind blows though.....I worry. I am almost 79, but would like to look nice when I go to church or other outings. My hair hair has always been fine, wavy to curly, now medium length, which looks best on me. Your talk about the clips giving someone a headache is a little daunting. I am glad I hit on your video before doing anything foolish!
I'm so glad this helped you, Cameron! I hope you're having a great day! :)
Thank you! I usually don't have time to watch videos longer than 10 min but this was so worth the time. Great info! 💕
Yay!!! I am so glad it helped! I hope you are having a spectacular day today!
Appreciate your teaching technique you are so kind! I wondered how you deal with a wig in summer time ?
Hi Diana! Lighter colors reflect the light and heat up less, open caps are coolest because the wefting let the air through and keep you cool, and if all else fails try a cotton wig liner to soak up some of the sweat! cysterwigs.com/products/cotton-wig-cap-liner-individual
Thank you so much this video is so educational and informative. By the way you look amazing and I love your personality and transparency.
You are so so welcome! I hope you are having a beautiful week!
Thank you so much for sharing. Great video and so personal. Thank you Hope you do another video soon. ❤
Thanks so much, Escandel! Glad you enjoyed it! And we've got more videos on the way, too! ;)
Thank you so much Heather for your review on the hair Toppers I have hair like yours and I'm thinking of trying a Topper instead of wearing my wig which is a hot.👍🌹
Hey there, Pamela! They're definitely a nice, breathable option, especially with summer right around the corner!! ☀️ - Cassidy
Your so awesome million of hours spent w doctors specialist and dermatologist and just realized Im the same as you androgen alopecia female pattern baldness. Love your attitude you rock! Sending hugs n love. Been a wig wearer too hot for me and a topper for 4 years. Awesome job and good info. babe
Thank you so much, Sabrina! Glad you like the videos! It's tough trying to get answers on some conditions, isn't it? If I had a dollar for every minute wasted on medical appointments that never went anywhere, I could've retired to the Bahamas years ago!
@@CysterWigs Right! Which probably ironically would promote hair growth. Im doing red light treatments at home right now with a vitamin treatment and specialised dha shampoo blocker. But decided that Im done with the expensive dermatologist when one sudgested our next step could be to remove 6L of my blood separate the white blood cells and inject them back into my scalp over a course treatment. I had a wake-up call.
Im not sick but Im not living. I love my toppers and trying live life to the topper fullest. lol windy day hater and no amusement rides for me but life goes on.
Tha k you. I was going to buy a topper, and now it won’t be blindly
We've got you covered, Cyster! 😉
-Bridgett

Great news and glad you have solved this problem thank you
Thank YOU, Marjorie! 💖
Thank you for making this video, very informative. Do you think one could wear a topper and hair extensions to add length and fullness to the back or sides of the head?
Hi, DM M! Yeah, you could do that, but there might be drawbacks to doing it. It might not be as comfortable as just a wig on its own. Also, if your hair is brittle or easily damaged or falls out easily, a topper plus extensions could just make things worse. It could also get expensive to keep up. I wouldn't recommend it myself, because I think you could get the same length and fullness result more comfortably and for cheaper with just a plain ol' wig. But that's my two cents. Hope this helps!
Good points, I think you're right, a topper and extensions might be a little too much. I do wear wigs but I feel the need to wear a hat over them because they just don't look real to me, not even my fine European top of the line wig. Every time I wear a wig I always wonder if people are staring at it and know it's fake, makes me very uncomfortable. I guess I'll keep watching videos on here to try and learn new tips & tricks. Thanks again!
That's okay, DM M! A big part of wearing wigs or toppers is feeling comfortable with them. Not just physical comfort, but feeling at ease with the idea of wearing them. And, if you're comfortable with something, your confidence also goes up. It took me a while to get comfortable with full wigs after wearing toppers, myself. I think that everyone who wears wigs worries about people staring at them and wondering at some point or another. You're not alone in that. Not by a long shot!
But the thing is, other people are so wrapped up in their own lives, they don't notice ANYTHING else going on around them. Most of the time, when anyone comments about the wigs to me or our customers when we're wearing them, it's to say how much they like the hair, who did it, etc. And even if you TELL them it's a wig, they won't believe you unless you take it off in front of them!
Do you think it might be that the wigs don't look real to you because you KNOW they're not your real hair? Have you asked any close friends or relatives their opinions on the wigs? If not, that might be something to ask, unless you're not comfortable with it. Just a thought.
Very helpful thanks. So happy and matter of fact nice attitude.
Thank you, Alison! I try to get right to the point so every video is as jam-packed with info as people can possibly stand. 🤓- Heather
This was a really good tutorial ...@the topper looks really good on you ..have you ever made a topper out of a full wig ?
Hi Henrietta! Sure have- even made a video on how to do it! czcams.com/video/RS9za3pHAp0/video.html
CysterWigs ...thanks i will check it out ..i like toppers best of all x
Thank you !!!! You explained this perfectly ♥️
You're very welcome, Pam! 💖
Great video -- very informative and fun. Thanks
My pleasure, Vintage Hippie!
My hair was always thin, fine and straight, but after I lost it all and it gradually increased, the hair shaft thickness was about a sixth the size. 11 years have passed and the shaft is a fourth the size of the original. When I pinch my hair and rub back and forth it feels like baby powder in my fingers, and no soft crackle anymore! Areas of baldness and receding in front, too.
So should I seek out a fine hair topper? I crave curly hair, so shall I curl mine with the topper? I hate wigs! They're hot and itchy! I crave longer hair that touches my shoulders because mine looks sickly when I try to grow it out. What a catch 22.
Suggestions?

so much great info! thanks!
Shampoos with sulfates will do that I had to get my hair cut really short because of an accident and also using shampoos with sulfates
Yikes!
I love your presentation! Very informative for beginner. Thank you, k
Thank you so much! So glad you found it helpful! 💖💓💗
Thank you for your very informative video. JMO. I think you would look cute with a a lighter color topper for a slightly sun bleached look. Or you could go wild and crazy with a platunum topper. For myself Ive been checking out toppers and buns to get me thru a hopefully temporary hair loss from stupidly using Medifast to lose weight. My problem is I cant find a match for my medium copper auburn hair. Every thing I try sticks out like a sore thumb.
Thank you, Sharon! I normally shave my hair right down to act as natural wig-Velcro, but I do have a couple blonde wigs in my collection like that. Y'know, just to mix things up a bit. ;) Reds are tough to match, that's for sure! If you write to our Help Desk (support@cysterwigs.com) and send a picture of what your hair used to look like, we can try to color-match it for you. Hope this helps!
I gotta show a client this vid.!
You are amazing and gives us hope x
Thank you so much!
Looks nice
Love your video!!! great info, thanks :)

Excellent Smiles Gorgeous Useful Instructions Thank you

I've seen people put hairspray and or gel in their hair to give the clip something to anchor onto
Thanks so much for the comment I hope you are doing great!
Thank you soooo much I am just starting bought a wig and it just doesn’t work for me where I’m hoping a topper will. God Bless!!!
Hi, Michele! Glad you found it helpful! If you have any questions that aren't answered by any of the videos you find here, you can try contacting our Help Desk ( support@cysterwigs.zendesk.com ). They should be able to point you in the right direction.

This would look cute with a headband 💖
Thank you so much! I hope you are doing fantastic!
What a great video!!! Thank you!
My pleasure!
I have a question regarding smoothing frizz for a heat friendly waved or curled topper. I currently wear the straight version of the belle tress lace front mono top topper which is heat friendly and would love to also have the wavy version to switch out. But how do you defrizz a wavy HF piece without it losing its wave pattern? I don't want to have to try to recurl it every time it gets frizzy but I obviously cannot run a flat iron through it to remove frizz like I do with my straight piece. Thanks for your help!
You can try passing over it with a gentle blast of steam and leaving it in place. But honestly - you are right. You can take the wave out but putting it back in can be next to impossible! Someone had mentioned braiding and steaming in a braid to get the waves...just a thought!
CysterWigs Thank you! Do you think the wavy one will frizz as much as the straight?
I think that it will be less noticeable because of the wave - straight styles you notice every hair! :-)
Thanks! Will be getting one soon!
Thank you so much! Yay!!! So excited for you!
Looks great on u 👍🏻thanks for sharing
Fantastic instructions. Everything you said I will put in use on my very first topper. I haven't bought one yet but I plan to buy one today..Thank you so much for showing your solution b c there are a lot of women out there that have very thin hair on the top. Are you doing anything to regrow your hair? I'm on Castor oil for the past 9 months and it is working, slowly but surely. Warm regards 🤗
Hi, Suzanna! Glad you found the video helpful! I'm not actually doing anything to regrow my hair. I tried a few tricks early on, but none of them worked. My hair just does what it wants to. Sometimes it grows back, sometimes it nearly all falls out. But if you find something that works for you, why the heck not? ;)
You are a perfect teacher thank you.
Thank you so much for saying that!
What do you recommend to wear for very thin hair, thinning at the crown areas...but i live in a extremely hot area. I'm worried about how hot will i get. Is there any heat friendly wigs?
Hi Connie! The coolest wigs are open capped - which allow air through all sides of the wig, including the top! The hottest wigs are going to be standard cap that trap the heat. Lighter colors are going to be cooler, too - even if you go with something lighter and rooted it will help. If nothing else, cotton wig cap liners are great for absorbing any sweat and keeping you neat and your wig dry: cysterwigs.com/products/cotton-wig-cap-liner-individual
