Thin Hair Thick Clipless, Synthetic Topper First Impressions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- I’ve been DYING to try this topper out for a long time so I was thrilled to meet Tiffany Young from Thin Hair Thick and have a chance to try this piece!
It’s a super unique cap construction and proprietary to Thin Hair Thick alone. The only topper of its kind, it has no clips! This makes it damage free and I was so surprised at how secure it was.
This is also the first quality synthetic piece that I’ve had and I’m impressed with how easy it styles with hot tools!
This was my first time trying the piece on and my initial reaction. I’ll be doing a full review in the future so stay tuned!
If you’re in the market for a topper but the price of human hair is holding you back, this is an excellent option!

I would never in a million years think that wasn’t your own hair. It looks fantastic! Probably the best I’ve seen!
Aww thanks so much!!!
Looks great! I’m a stylist and it’s shocking to me how hesitant a lot of my clients are to invest in a nice hair topper, especially when they are struggling so much emotionally with their hair loss it just seems like money well spent to feel confident again. I pay $1500 for Botox and filler in my face and it doesn’t even last a whole year, whereas A good hairpiece can last forever if you take care of it, right? But Then I have clients who’ll spend hundreds on one color appointment, so, different priorities I guess.
I agree! It’s always the first piece they get hung up on. Once they buy one, they’ll buy more! I think they’re just so hesitant they aren’t going to love it. Your Botox example was spot on 👌🏼
It’s the medium length and base size is standard for this brand.
the light colored strap is a deaddddd giveaway!
Yeah not sure why it’s light colored and not dark 🤷🏻♀️
I love the way you worked it into a very natural look for you. However, I'm not too crazy about that glaring pink bra strip. The manufacturer should have known it glares among all that dark hair whenever there's wind, movement, a toss, etc. One of our main concerns is slippage, too. The front looks nice, but they need to give the back some more thought.
I agree. I wish the strap was thinner and transparent. I love the genius concept of this piece but haven’t been able to make it work for me 😢
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! I have terrible traction alopecia from my topper. I also absolutely love the style and the color. It literally looks like my hair without all the baldness and the traction alopecia spots.
Please tell me what the name is and where you got it
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL on you!!! And I LOVE the highlights on you!!!! So pretty!!! I have hair just like yours and I’m getting ready to buy a topper so I’m now gonna look at this company because I like the no hook thing. But yeah… the highlights looks so good on you!!! So glad I came across this video!!
So happy to hear it Kimberly! This is a great piece 🙌🏼 I’ve had a bit of a harder time with it because my head is super flat in the back so I can’t get it to stay down. But if your head isn’t as flat as mine, it should work great! 🥰🥰
Tip to keep the back from riding up is to sew in those barber hair Velcro strips or even another wig grip band all around the back and/or using elastic thread, sew it along the back making sure to leave both sides long enough so that you attach them to the existing elastic band that holds down the front of the topper. Picture an elasticized ball cap or bonnet that has an elastic back that attaches to the front straps. So basically, you would have two elastic bands (the front and the back) but you sew the back band onto the front starting approximately at ear level. Hope I’m making this clear enough to understand.
I did sew on some of the barber velcro but I’ll have to play around to see if I can figure out what you’re explaining. Do you have one you did that to? Maybe you could email me a picture?? That would be soooo helpful 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@lacie.rodriguez I just re-watched your video and realized that the existing elastic on your topper is more towards the back, and probably why my explanation may not make sense. Most toppers come with clips, not combs, so what I do is: remove the two clips (or 3 on some brands - 1 directly in front & 2 on sides above eyebrows or temples) on the front sides and replace them with an elastic (black so as to camouflage with my dark brown/brunette hair. I suppose that white elastics (since my local Walmart only carries black or white - the kind used to sew elastic waistbands on shorts/skirts/cuffs/etc called Braided Elastic, which come in various widths. I prefer a thinner one 6mm x 2.7m or 1/4” x 3yrds. There may be thinner ones but this is what they had in stock) can be dyed with a little hair colour to match lighter shades. You will need to measure using the elastic, before cutting it, the circumference from the front of the topper sides (where the clips were/are) all the way around to the base of your head behind your ears. So basically, the front of the topper is going to be held down flat and in place with the tension of the elastic instead of clips. Just don’t make it too tight, and allow just enough to sew it onto the sides (about 1/4” or less) but snug enough to feel comfortable and secure. Actually there are videos about how to do this on wigs called “the elastic band method”, but instead of wigs you do it on the topper. Ok, so once the elastic band is sewn in the front, now you sew a second one at the back, but your topper already has the elastic sewn on the back from what I can see from this video. So I would just replace the side combs with the elastic band method ATTACHING that to the back one by sewing them together starting approximately where they would meet above the ears. You can keep the front comb if it makes you feel more secure but I know that it would bother me, plus the elastic band method does a very good job of keeping the front of the topper flush/flat to you head without it. Sometimes I just use “got2be glued” for more security. Again, lots of videos about that too. I don’t have any THT toppers, but I did buy a Milano Topper Grip (Amazon) which comes in 2 sizes for large or smaller toppers which you’re supposed to use with the clips (check out their videos) but I just used got2b glued on the grip ribbons to attach directly onto the topper. Basically, I want to minimize the need of having to wear too many elastic or wig grips to feel secure and not feel so hot during summer. Hope this makes more sense now 🙏 Think of those halo hair extensions....but on a topper. Halo wire/elastic seems too thin for me and I would worry that it would break at the worst possible time, plus my goal is to have a totally metal-free way of keeping hair on, especially when having Xrays/MRI’s/CT scans or even going through airport security (how embarrassing would that be!). Hope this helps someone, especially topper companies to come up with newer/better ways of helping women feel better about ourselves, it’s not about vanity it’s about having positive mental health ❤️
Ok I’m going to experiment with this method! Thank you so much for the detailed instructions 🙏🏼☺️ I love having such an incredible community where we can exchange tips and encouragement ❤️❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I have a weird head and I think your barber hair velcro strip will allow me to wear a wig wrap finally!! All wigs just slide off my head.
I hope it works!
The color matches great. Looks natural. Win,win .
Thanks! It’s from Thin Hair Thick and the link is in the description box ☺️
I just sewed my topper onto the band and kept a clip on the back for a little extra security. Yours is very pretty. Nice video.
Thank you! And that’s a great idea btw! Thanks for the tip 🤗
@@lacie.rodriguez anytime, us girls have to look out for each other 💞
For sure 🙌🏼😉
There we go...good thinking . Accept rhen u can rarely wash that band.
@@WillChil466 good point. I’m retired so I don’t need it for everyday use.
looks FABULOUS and natural and what I call 'consciously disheveled ' - very sassy and flattering. I'm just starting to experiment with wigs n toppers and this is making me think I should delve deeper into TOPPERS.... well done !
One very nice advantage to synthetic is that you can pop on a pre-styled piece that will not come out in rain, humidity or with time!
Right?! That is so nice 🙌🏼
It's beautiful on you! And the coolness of the color works well with your coloring. I really like it.
Thanks!
Yay, a new topper video from you. 💕It looks great!
Thanks so much! I’m really excited about this one 🙌🏼
Why didn't they make the "bra strap" thing the same color as the "hair" / synthetic fibers to camouflage it? What do you think?
Agreed! Not sure why it’s not 🤷🏻♀️
How much are these?
Around $400 I believe 👍🏼
From www.thinhairthick.com ☺️
What if the strap were more like a halo wire? Did the halo wire feel more secure? I’m pretty sure that bra strap thing at the back riding up with drive me insane.
🕊 I am late to this party!
The style is so pretty.
The color is surprisingly good. You are so fun
to watch! Thanks!
That’s so sweet of you to say! Thanks! 🤗❤️
I can’t wait for next review on this on this piece. I ordered one but now I’m torn about it. The whole bra strap in the back and it slipping makes me very nervous. I loved the concept with no clips though.
I’m in the same boat! Still working with it but I’m determined to love it because the clipless concept is genius and it’s so comfortable 🙌🏼
I think I would add clips
Thank you for making this video. I just ordered one of these (and a human hair one). I was surprised when you flipped your hair, it does seem very secure!
It’s surprisingly secure! Excited for you to try one 🙌🏼
What do you think of it ? I'm thinking of ordering but don't want to waste the guts of £300 if it's not comfortable/doesn't stay put.
@@Satsusss I realized that I need a full wig- my hair in back is too naturally fine to blend. Plus matching color. I am super happy with full wigs. Life changer, for real.
Thank you for getting back to me.I have balding in the back so a wig would be best for me then. Can I ask what wig you decided on ?
Thats amazing....... I love how it doesnt look to shiny. Im blonde and blonde always wants to lean to the shiny side. You could wear that everyday. Love everything about it. The color is great also.
Thanks!!
It's a beautiful topper and the color is excellent. It does have some warmth to it.
Thank you for this review. I have wondered about the stability of these pieces. It looks perfect on you. I love the color and style. I hate those bands, though. I have a weird shaped head too. Those heat friendly fibers look great initially, but break down really quick. Your bio hair as a buffer should help.
I’m still working with this one but I’m interested to see how long the fibers last.
It looks really good on you good job🥰👍🏻
Thanks! 🥰🥰
Hi Lacie! I think this looks gorgeous on you! Just curious if you're still liking it? I'm thinking about picking one up and would love to hear your thoughts now that you've had it awhile.
Hey there! I’m working on an official review of it. It’s an incredible design it just doesn’t work for my flat head 😅 I haven’t been able to get it to stay down, it continues to ride up in the back and I don’t have enough bio hair to hide the bulk of it back there. I’m super sad because it’s so comfortable and I love the way the front looks. If you have a decent sized occipital bone I think it would work great! 🥰
@@lacie.rodriguez Thanks for the response. I'm afraid it would probably ride up on me, too....I've never been able to wear headbands because they won't stay in place.
That looks gorgeous on you!
Thanks so much ☺️
I love that color and style on you! Glamorous!
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰
it looks great on you
Posting this for others who may be considering purchasing from this company. Beware! They do not honor their return policy. You will never get a refund if the product does not meet your expectations, does not match your hair color, etc. I have initiated a legal battle with this company to get a refund for a package that I shipped back to them. They are claiming it was lost in the mail, despite signature evidence proving otherwise.
Thank you for the warning. I was just about to order one, but if their returns are shady, I'm not going to take that chance.
You are so pretty with or without a wig!
It looks fantastic!!
What is the texture of the wig? Does it feel like human hair? You look beautiful with the topper. You really matched it well to your hair.
Thank you for uploading this video!
Thanks so much! It mostly feels like human hair but you need to be a little more careful when brushing because if it snags, it will stretch it and go curly. But for a synthetic option-it’s excellent quality!
Love the idea, but with that band going across the back, it's impossible to put the hair piece in a ponytail without the band showing!
You’re right-this piece isn’t an option for an updo really.
Pretty color
that band on the topper should be in a dark color since it shows when you swing your hair.
The new ones have a dark band 🙌🏼
You did great, that looks lovely. I just wonder why you put your own hair up. If you comb it down, it will disguise the pink band. X
This looks amazing in you!
Thank you! 🤗
That looks amazing on you and I love the color. I'm trying to get passed the pink strap in the back....🙄
Same 😅
@@lacie.rodriguezHow can I order one of these. Looks good on you
Thanks! There’s a link in the description box 👍🏼
@@lacie.rodriguez dye it .
I have tried making my own toppers with older wigs. I have been trying to figure out how to attach them to the wig grip. I wonder if you could use velcro instead of the clips or tape. Idk maybe it wouldn't lay flat enough
I definitely think it’s a possibility but tape sits flatter for sure ☺️
This is a great color on you. It enhances your eyes.
Thank you, Cindy!
It looks lovely on you. I would worry that the hairband wouldn't stay on. My hair is shiny and thin and hair bands just slip off. Also clips never stay in because it's fine on top.
The piece is super secure from the front but the band does tend to ride up in the back 😬
I'm so glad I found you on here. I'm getting ready to buy my 1st topper. I've looked at this Thin Hair Thick. 2 questions for you. 1st, couldn't you make any topper into this by removing the clips and putting in combs and using the grip. 2, Can you tell me where I could find the Halo Grip that I think I saw in one of your other videos
Hi Lisa! The cap for this one is a unique shape as well so I don’t think it would be that easy to recreate from any topper. They sell the halo grip I think you’re talking about too. www.thinhairthick.com/product/tht-poly-lace-top-band/
It looks wonderful on you
I haven’t bought a topper or wig yet but need one bad for my mental well being. I LOVE this style and color.
David is my husband
I am Samantha lol
This is the perfect shape and style I would love. I’m blonde but dye it brown to look thicker and this color would be perfect.
My hair loss I believe is from depression and menopause. I loss my son 7 years ago and the depression has change everything about me including hair loss. Now throw menopause on top of that. The cause of my hair loss is making my depression worsen.
Hi Samantha! I’m so sorry to hear about your son. That’s a hard life experience to go through, sending you a big hug. This topper is listed in my personal hair topper link. www.lacierodriguez.com/links
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!! Do you have any Topper in Dark Brown color with highlights
If you can move the topper back and forth, how is that secure? Honestly it looks really nice on you.
If you prefer no wiggle then adding a bit of hairspray prior to sliding comb/clipping makes all the difference! ☺️ thank you! 🤍
I wonder why they don't use a dark band underneath so that it is not noticeable?? Otherwise the topper looks great
I definitely agree! I’m actually thinking about dying it maybe 🤷🏻♀️
@@lacie.rodriguez Pls do follow up...also have same problem with toppers...love them compared to a wig...just notice it does cause traction alopecia...looking for a solution myself
I definitely will do a full review after I’ve figured a few things out 🙌🏼
@@lacie.rodriguez Thank you
looks great on you. I had one of these. I couldn't get it to stop riding up in the back. I could feel it going. up and was afraid that it would pop off. I ended up selling it (at a loss of course). good luck!
This has been my issue as well. My head is very flat and I think it makes this kind of topper harder to wear.
@@lacie.rodriguez, I have the same problem with headbands riding up. Do you have or know of a hair topper that stays in place?
Most of them stay in place really well. This is a very unique design and doesn’t work as well for people with a flat head. But most toppers that just clip in work great 🙌🏼
It looks great on you. I have one, but I cannot get it to feel good. It is a bit unwieldy for me- probably because my head is on the small side. The quality of the hair is really nice though.
Yes it is! This one can be a little tricky to get it to stay put for me too.
Lacie I can't afford a human hair topper, and finding a synthetic topper that is HD is almost impossible for the larger size of cap that I need ( need at least a 7x7 to get to healthy hair). I wanted to ask you how this Synthetic topper is holding out for you?
I haven’t worn it too much because it tends to ride up on me 😕 but I just found a new wig grip that I might try with it. My head is just so flat I haven’t been able to find a good solution to keep it in place. But the hair fibers are great!
Lacie, do you still like this two years later? I have only been wearing a small based topper with clips consistently, for about three weeks and I’m already seeing more hair loss on top my head. I’ve got to do something else!
If you have a decent occipital bone at the base of your skull that works as a ledge, this might be a great fit!
It does look good on you and the color is good too.
Thank you!
I have a head that headbands don’t typically like to stay on…slightly worried about that. Also, any headaches from the headband?
I haven’t had any headaches, I just can’t get it to stay down 😕
You look beautiful in this piece.
Thank you!! 🥰
Looks good but wonder why the manufacturer wouldn’t use a more similar color to the hair fiber on the neck band.🤔🤔🤔
Thank you! The band is underneath so no one sees the color. 🙂
I Wonder if the light band is showing in blacklight? It should be in the same color as the hair or in a blacklight safe color✌🏻
I agree! ☺️
Looks great ! How do I order this ?
I live in Canada !
Thank you !
I really enjoyed your presentation 🙋♀️🥱🫶🏻
Hi Jeanne! Here’s the link so you can see all of my personal ones! The one in the video is listed and it will take you to all their websites. That’s so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🥰
Hi! Where's the follow-up video for this piece? I'm interested to hear your thoughts after you've been wearing it for awhile.
I need to play with it more! I had some other pieces that took priority but I promise I’m still planning on doing a full review! The condenses version right now is that I can’t get it to stop riding up in the back. But I’m working on figuring it out because I love how comfortable it is!!
@@lacie.rodriguez Ohhh! No wonder I couldn't find it. 🤭🤭🤭 Thanks for the info.
Of course! 🤗
Yes please make a follow up video. I found very little info out there about these toppers.
I can't afford a HH for sure, but I also can't afford to waste money on this topper if it really is too good to be true.
If you have a decent occipital bone at the nape of your neck, I’m sure it will be a great fit ☺️
Could you add clips to it to make it more secure? Color and style look very natural to me.
Hi there! Yes, you definitely can. There are clips on Amazon for purchase that you can sew on. Thank you!
Which felt more secure? Halo wire or this? I cant even wear headbands as they ride up so will probably not find the strap anything but an annoyance.
It’s definitely a preference. A halo wire is similar to a headband so it sounds like it may not be a true fit for you. 🙂
Price please
Looks good.
Thanks so much! ❤️
I have frontal fibrosing alopecia. I want to transition from wigs to toppers. This one is my natural color. I just came went to buy this one. Unfortunately, it's presently out of stock. Just wondering, does it have permatease?
No permatease 👍🏼 hopefully they restock soon 🙌🏼
Looks great!
Thank you! I really like it!
Hi Lacie, I’ve not worn a topper before, just wigs. Seeing the inside I’m concerned about getting overheated. Do you find there’s sufficient ventilation or do you get hot under the topper? Thanks!
Hi Maureen! If you're ok in a wig, I doubt a topper will be any worse! If anything, toppers are cooler because you have less of your head covered 👍🏼
Think it’d be better with clips to hold it on instead of a headband as the band in the back with easily be seen if it was windy out.
I think if I had more bio hair it might cover it a little better.
Hi, looks real good on you , how long will this topper last with every day wear, before haveing to replace . Thank you
I wish I knew! I’ve only had it for a few months and haven’t worn it much. I’ll update though when I have a better idea!
Did you ever do an official review? I was looking for it but didn't find it. Also, I read some of the comments and saw you were having trouble getting it not to ride up because your occipital bone isn't very big. Mine either. I've NEVER been able to wear anything that relies on that. So sad. Did you ever find a solution? I love the idea of this topper but that's a deal breaker for me I'm afraid. :(
I didn’t get around to it, sorry about that! I made a video on how I work around that. It’s towards the middle. ☺️ I hope it helps!
ua-cam.com/video/Bbs34Vb_gPc/v-deo.html
I love it.thank you for sharing.
Sure!
Did you do the full, updated review for this, I’m not finding one.
I have not. It didn’t end up working well for me because I have a really flat head and I just couldn’t get it to stay down in the back 😢
@@lacie.rodriguez yeah, my head is pretty flat too. I really need a consultation, I really really do! I don’t know if you still do them or what they cost.
Excellent
☺️🥰
Beautiful topper. Wonder why they make the strap such a light color, tho. A darker strap wouldn't show as much if the hair parts in back.
Ps, I ordered one! If the strap is light I am going to try to dye it :)
I think the newer ones have a dark strap 🙌🏼 I’d love to hear what you think ❤️
@@susannah7797 how is yours going ?
@@Satsusss It was beautiful, but I returned it and now we're full wigs (Belltress). :)
@@susannah7797 thank you !!
Where's the link? I don't go to Insta or faceplc.
Hey lady. How do you like the synthetic? Is it too shiny? Still waiting on my Claire.
It is a little shiny. I sprayed some dry shampoo on it but it still looks a little shiny. I think I need to wash it and try again. I’m still having a hard time getting it to stay down in the back. But I think it has to do with the shape of my head 🤔
Did you show your first topper
Yes, it was a Lauren Ashton piece. I made a video on it. 🙂
What do you think about the tape in toppers?
I use tape sometimes for a day but if it’s a semi-permanent install where you keep it on day and night, there can be some traction alopecia (damage to your bio hair).
Please give an update. Because I'm looking for my first hair topper 🙄
Still working on my full review but in a nutshell: I think my head is too flat for this design because it rides up on me. If you have a more pronounced occipital bone it should work great!
Looks great
Thanks 🤗
That is totally believalbe!
I think so too!! 🤗
Why don’t they make the band on the back of the head brown, white sticks out too much.
I agree
Hi. Thank you for the video. I like this topper. Where can I get exactly like this one you got? Hope to their from you soon. Thank you.
This one is from thinhairthick.com it’s the synthetic in medium brown 🙌🏼
Love the color. How did it hold up?
Thanks! I think my head is too flat for it 😭 I can’t get it to stop riding up in the back. But other than that I love it!
Thanks for your review so far..... really would like to know more about the back, how long would your bio hair need to be etc
Great-I’ll address that in the video thank you!
What is the link for the hair velcro please. Thanks and brand name.

This one only comes in synthetic. Here’s a list of all my personal ones. 🙂www.lacierodriguez.com/links
New to topper and I have gray hair so I need a topper that will match my hair need a little bit of help please.
Hi there! Dimples hair just came out with some great synthetic options that have grey hair. It is hard to find, but they’re out there.
The topper is beautiful. The Ash highlight is bad and does look gray. Why on earth would they use a white "bra strap" thing in the back? That will show every time you move or the wind blows.
Yeah I agree! They actually have fixed the strap in the back to be a darker color now 🙌🏼
Where can I find this topper?
It does look good however
why a al inside? thats crazy
Are there any toppers for major hair loss?
Sure! Depending on your pattern of hair loss.
It so good on you
Thank you!
Are you still wearing this topper? Do you still like it? I need an update!
Hi! My head ended up being too flat for it. I haven’t been able to keep it from riding up. But I think it would still work for a lot of people!
@@lacie.rodriguez thanks for that comment. My head is flat in the back also and that was what I was concerned about because any regular head band rides up on me. Have to keep on looking I guess.
I’m still working to see if I can figure out a way to make it work because it’s such a genius concept!
Very, very pretty ❣
Thank you 🥰🤗
Who maKes it???
This popped off at the gym it isn’t for me I’m more Clip topper
Oh no! 😳
@@lacie.rodriguez I’ve got a super tiny head I have to use my clips
I don't think that this is secure enough if you where outside in the wind
I doubt it would come off but you would probably see the underside with the bands
What is the name of this wig
It’s linked in the description box. It’s the medium brown synthetic topper from Thin Hair Thick. ☺️
@@lacie.rodriguez No it,s not.
Wow they are expensive
Most hair toppers are. They’re very labor intensive.
You’re so cute! Love your personality
Thanks 😅! I’m a little whack but I’m ok with it 🤪
@@lacie.rodriguez nothing wrong with being a lil wack it makes you you in your own way!! And always will put a smile on someone’s face :))
🥰🥰🥰😘
Mama sidhu video
The clips in toppers are brutal. I have bald spots from toppers. urgh
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. It does help to rotate the clips and only clip on certain ones if you’re going to be wearing the same topper every day. If you have multiple toppers then it helps to interchange those too since the placement of the clips is different. ☺️
Looks great
Thanks 🤗
