Hey there, beautiful! đ
If youâre stepping into the world of hair toppers, welcomeâyouâre in the right place. Whether youâre dealing with hair loss, thinning, or just want more volume up top, a topper can be a total game-changer. But before you fall in love with one of our gorgeous pieces at TressPerfection, letâs talk about something super important (but often overlooked): the base size.
Because no matter how beautiful the hair is, if the base doesnât fit right... itâs just not it. đŹ
đĄ What Is a Hair Topper Base, Anyway?
The base of a topper is the foundationâthe part that sits on your scalp and blends with your natural hair. It comes in different sizes and materials (like silk or monofilament), but today weâre focusing on size. Because size does matterâat least when it comes to toppers. đ
đ So, How Do You Know Your Base Size?
Hereâs a simple 3-step way to find your match:
-
Grab a soft measuring tape đ
-
Measure the area where you want coverage, from side to side and front to back.
-
Add an extra inch to each measurement so the topper clips into healthy hair (not thinning areas).
âĄď¸ Example: If the thinning area is 6x6 inches, a 7x7 or 8x8 topper will give you secure coverage without pulling on fragile strands.
⨠Our Most Loved Base Sizes & What They're Great For
-
5x5 or 6x6 â Light to moderate thinning at the crown or part line
-
7x7 or 8x8 â Medium coverage with natural blending (our customer fave!)
-
9x9 and up â For more advanced hair loss or fuller coverage
Want to go BIG? đ Our 9x9 silk or mono bases are total confidence-boosters.
đ§ľ Silk vs. Monofilament: Which One Feels Right?
We always help our clients choose between silk base (the most realistic scalp ever đ) or monofilament (super breathable and lightweightâgreat for warm weather or sensitive scalps). Both allow for multidirectional parting and blend beautifully with your natural hair.
đŹ Real Talk: What Our Clients Say
