Who Buys Our Silk Base Hair Topper
Wig shops, hair loss clinics and stylists, most of them in North America. Clinics tend to order it for clients who wear a side or center part every day, because that's where a silk top shows its advantage over mono and lace.
Where Silk Pays Off
Silk costs more and breathes less than mono or French lace, so it earns its place on one kind of client: the woman who wears a center or side part every day and looks at it in the mirror. On mono and lace, the knots at the parting are bleached but still visible up close; under silk they are gone. For clients who wear the hair back or in a hot climate, a mono or lace topper is lighter. The full base comparison and size chart are on our hair toppers page.
Size the base about 1 cm larger than the thinning area on each side, so the clips sit on healthy hair. Our Cap Size Guide shows how to measure.
How Clients Wear a Silk Topper
- 1Part the hair where the topper will sit
- 2Open the clips and place the topper on the thinning area
- 3Snap the front clips first, then the sides and back
- 4Blend the topper hair with the natural hair and style
Care Tips
- Keep heavy oils off the silk, which stains and shows through the parting
- Let the base dry flat and away from direct heat
- Close the clips before washing so they don't catch the hair
Washing steps are in our wig washing guide.

Questions About Our Silk Base Hair Toppers
How long does a silk base topper last?

Do you offer private label?
Yes. Toppers can be packed in your branded boxes with your care cards. See Private Label and Private Label Packaging.
Can you make toppers with bangs?
Yes. See our Topper with Bangs in curtain, air or full bang styles.
Is a silk topper warmer to wear than mono?
Slightly, because the silk layer is denser than mesh. Most clients don't notice it in daily wear; in hot climates or for clients who exercise in their topper, offer mono or French lace. MOQ is 3 pieces per color, with sizes and lengths mixed.
