I did bite the bullet and bought my first topper last week. Your tiktok video Just Stop inspired me. I don’t feel so alone anymore about having such thin hair. Thank you.
Thank you Lacey. You're instructional videos have opened up the world of "helper hair" for me. After I shared one of your videos to my husband he was eager for me to get one. Fortunately, we found a highly recommended hair loss consultant that was only 2 hours away. Yesterday we went for my consultation and ordered a custom made human hair topper. Having a qualified professional measure and advise me on color choice has taken the anxiety out of the process. When my topper comes in she will style it for me. As I wait I'm watching your "topper school" videos again to refresh my mind and to get mentally prepared for the new adventure. Again, thank you for your help.
Love love love your encouragement. I never knew this was a thing. I was watching Judge Judy show an lady was suing the stylist for cutting the system too short but the ladies hair looked really nice. So that made me start checking this out. Your info was so helpful. I just might jump in and give this a try. Thank you from Texas.
I’m so happy an unfortunate event with a hair system was still good enough to pique your interest 🙌🏼😅 they really are game changing! Thanks for your sweet comment and always know I’m here to help wherever I can 🥰
You were the BEST that I found for advice. You are GREAT! You should be paid greatly for your advice and sheer professionalism. You are a wonderful speaker and deserve a great company to run or have a very important career within a business I hope you are having all the opportunities in this life that you deserve! On top of everything else, you are stunningly gorgeous!!
So helpful, thank you so much Lacie! I subscribed to your vlog. I'm looking for my first topper because I've finally figured out that my hair isn't going to grow back and I am terrified of getting the wrong thing, so this helped so much. I'll watch your video again and again until I finally buy my first topper; then I'll check out your videos more. (from Sandi)
Great explanation LaCie! The topper you are wearing is simply stunning! You look stunning! 😍😍😍 Beautiful. I took the plunge with toppers - I love my topper and feel so much more confident with it ALSO I’m now complimented on my hair 😂😂😂. Yes, I agree with you - take the chance and be patient. It takes time to get used to it and practise - I’m now trying new hairstyles and putting in a ponytail. Can you show different hair styles you do? Thank you so much for great content and making women feel confident and inspired xxx🙏🏻👌👍🏻🥰😍😍😘
Hi Silvana! Thank you so much for this sweet comment! I’m so happy you found a great topper! I actually have another video of doing a high ponytail from last year. I’ll work on some more 🤗
I have worn hairpieces for years and had hair extensions about 20 years ago. My 1st go around was about 25 years ago and i had auburn hair (naturally light blonde). I'd wear the hairpieces between coloring because it looked like i had a bald spot. The hair extensions came into play when i cut my hair shorter. The next time was last year when i was diagnosed with metastatic malignant melanoma to the brain. I went through immunotherapy but the targeted radiation is where my waist length, bone straight blonde hair started falling out. I had just enough below the ears to anchor a hairpiece, this time with scarves. I had a 20 inch piece that i wear down or in a high bun. My natural hair is now 2 1/2 inches long, wavy, and silver and white. They said its not uncommon. Now I have a lot of styling options. Pixie with natural hair or I can put the piece and hide my natural hair. Im thinking of getting one that matches my bio hair so I can skip the scarves. I loved all of them and highly suggest them, especially for those that want to attempt coloring their hair at home. (Watch hair fail videos!!!) You can buy pastel and vivid colored wigs as well and you wont ruin your bio hair. Thanks for the great video!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing! 💕 I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You’re an admirable and I’m so happy to hear that you’re having fun playing with all the different hair styles!
I just found your channel, thank you for this great information, guiding us through this. I did buy my first human hair topper a few months ago, but I’m still getting used to wearing it because it’s so heavy over my own hair.
I’m so happy to hear that you find this channel helpful and encouraging! By chance, have you been able to take it to a hair stylist? This will help by having the hair thinned out. I usually have mine cut with layers, and thinned out with curtain bangs. 🙂
Can you include maybe in your next video how your topper (the one your wearing now) has bern cut. Im trying to gauge how short your your fringe (we say fringe...your "bangs") have been cut. And has the front brrn cut down on an angle. I need more cut out of mine but im so nervous. It just feels still abit heavy. You are absolutely stunning. Your hair style is EXACTLY what I love too. Greetings from Australia, Downunder x
The synthetic cheap ones are a waste! I’m so glad the first one I bought was real hair and 1,300.00. It is really worth it! Stay away from the inexpensive ones
Minimally processed hair does last longer! Fortunately, there are some companies out there that carry great synthetic options that I actually rotate through often. Such as, DimplesHair and Uniwigs. ☺️
Thanks for a great lesson in toppers! I have naturally wavy waist length hair and I wear it with a side part in a style similar to yours, but with the addition of side-swept fringe bangs. I'm just thinning a little on top, so don't want a dense topper. I also want the most realistic looking one. Your topper looks fantastic! Can you recommend one in particular for me?
If you’re thinning isn’t too severe, the toppers from Dimples Hair are super light density and work great cut in as a layer. They even have some smaller pieces if you just want a little bit of coverage 👍🏼
Hi! Your topper looks so natural. I've been viewing many videos and discerning what I should get. I went to Toss Hair Collection, and found they were completely sold out, with no info. if they are getting more. Can you advise about this company's activity?
Hi Reba! I believe Angie from Toss Hair Collection is transitioning into a preorder system. So you can pick from her colors and order the cap size and length you want in that color. I’m sure if you contacted her through her website she could let you know more about how it works 👍🏼
@@lacie.rodriguez Thanks Lacie, for monitoring your comments on your videos, and getting back to me. I hope I can achieve as natural a look as yours. Without doctors knowing or advising me, that using anti-inflammatories for years, (which I did instead of getting a joint replaced) can cause some women to lose their hair. FDA is slow on the uptake, on getting that warning out..hm.....but then women would probably refuse to take them. Not all women lose significant hair due to anti-inflammatories. My hair was always fine, but at least, it covered my head with no wide parts! There is no other medical explanation for it, based on dr. visits/labs. Maybe it will come back some, after covid arresting elective surgeries are allowed, and I give in to a new hip. Too much skiing, and standing teaching. Finding a topper with a similar texture is essential... I've tried synthetics, may be all of them are too thick in the diameter of strands, so I need to stick to European hair. I'm following your other videos, thanks for your sharing.
I wear mine in ponytails often and have no problem. I do typically have a comb in the front. When I’m going to put my hair in a ponytail, then I add a little dry shampoo/ hair spray where the comb will go and that makes all the difference. As far as swimming with it, that’s possible too! I do tend to use my synthetic toppers for that rather than my more expensive pieces.
Im 71 and I have been thinning a little all over especially recently sice I started putting clip on extensions which I am so stupid for doing because I dont wear them outside, im still practicing. Im hoping I get a nice 140 $ topper
Hi Julia, You are not stupid at all. Sometimes we just have to go for it and try a few things before we find what works best for us. 🙂 Uniwigs has some great affordable options as well.
Hello Lacie, Just purchased my first no heat synthetic topper. Not a bad start so far. My question is if I’m not going to wash it often should I be applying some oil of some type to it even though it may not be worn all that often? I have all the good quality shampoo & leave in conditioner already for synthetic products. Thank you for your time.
Hi Tracy, I’m happy for you! 🤗 yes, since toppers don’t produce natural oils like our bio hair does, they need some help. They don’t need much, about a pea sized serum. This will help the topper last longer and keep it hydrated. I typically apply about once a week. 🙂
I've been looking and used cheap toppers for a while but I am new at looking for a good one I have very thin hair and I just feel I need a lot of help😢
My Personal Topper Links: www.lacierodriguez.com/links Dimples hair has some great low density ones! Dimples Hair (code “laciewow10” to save 10%): www.dimpleshair.com/
Which brand would you suggest for a silk topper?...I want to try one and I like the natural look of the silk topper... I'm not worried about having a lot of fullness on top, just wanting to to cover my thinness....thanks!
Most silk tops are very similar. Lusta is my favorite currently out of the traditional silk tops! It’s pricier though. More affordable pieces are available at www.silkorlace.com. I also love my Dimples Hair Clio French topper I just reviewed. It’s super realistic but also incredibly light and comfortable!
I love your topper. However, when I go to the website you recommend for your topper they are all out of stock. Is there another site you can recommend?
Because of COVID there are a lot of out of stock issues still. I recommend checking back frequently because a lot of pieces sell out pretty quickly after they’re listed. A good resource though is silkorlace.com that has several different boutiques who sell their pieces there so there’s usually more in stock 🙌🏼
Correct 👍🏼 some toppers come with a PU (polyurethane) strip that can be glued if you want to and that could be a mono or silk top but it’s usually a custom order for those
Which topper are you we aring in this video. It's absolutely gorgeous. Just what I'm looking for. I'm trying to buy my first topper online but it's not that easy.
Love your videos, thanks so much for the info. Have you heard of Seully hair, they look so natural and very thin which is what I would like, says it human hair and its 88.00, too good to be true?
Thanks so much for being here! 🙂 I haven’t heard of them. A good quality remi hair topper will typically cost around a grand. $88 dollars for a topper is definitely too good to be true. There are synthetic options out there that won’t last as long, but the quality is still good. Uniwigs and Dimples have some great options.
im looking for a hair topper to add volume to the crown of my head.. but honestly there are so many out there and don't even know where to turn.. can you suggest any toppers for that?
A mono top will give excellent crown volume! But depending on your specific needs and preferences there are other options that can be better. I know it’s a lot of overwhelming info when you’re first getting started 😖 I actually do topper consults and can help you find a great match for you! It’s a $50 service and you can check it out here and book if you’d like 🤗 topperconsult.lacierodriguez.com best of luck!!
They’re both great options! For me, I like synthetics to wear when I got on hikes, swimming pools, or I know I’m going to get sweaty. I don’t feel like I have to baby my synthetic pieces. High quality and minimally processed hair is less shinier and gets tangled a lot less. 🙂 It also depends on ones budget. Synthetic hair costs less.
Can you recommend a good quality silk topper seller in Canada that will do a blonde and dark rooted. Is it possible to get a silk topper that has the rest of the base in a mono and not wefted? Thank you 🙂
Thank you for all of your tips!!! I’m about to bite the bullet and get my first Lauren Ashtyn piece!!! I’m so excited to get my confidence back after hair loss! ❤️
I wore a beautiful human hair “fall”--now called “toppers” back in the early 70’s. OMG talk about inflation. 😃😃😃. I was making only $80 a week bring home so don’t think I spent over $80 for my blonde bra length human hair fall.
It depends on where you live. I know of a few who do custom color through the mail. But it’s best to have a local stylist cut it for you. Let me know what you’re looking for as far as customization and where 👍🏼
@@lacie.rodriguez I’m in walnut, California. Do you have any topper stylist that you can recommend? I don’t need color. I want to cut some layers and bangs. Thank you!
I don’t know how helpful this is but Sharon from highline wigs has this list of stylists and it is the most comprehensive that I know of. They are stylists that customers have recommended because they’ve worked on their pieces before. It’s a good place to start I think! www.toppersbysharon.com/shop
Thank you for the brilliant information.Love your positive attitude. I am new to the world of helper hair..I need something, low density, very light on the head and like most people realistic..I have a very fragile scalp and hair, so don't want to use glues etc and very anxious about traction alopecia that may be caused by the topper clips. Could a top grip like the one Milano sells be more of an alternative? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated and apologies for all the questions. How much do you charge for online consultations or where should I look to find the information Thanks again
Hi Ellie! Yes! The topper grips are so helpful with comfort and avoiding traction alopecia. However you still have to deal with the back clips. I know of only one clipless topper that I’m working on a review for. I have my first impressions video up already-it’s called the Thin Hair Thick first impressions video. I have another video that explains my consultation service or you can go to www.topperconsult.lacierodriguez.com to schedule 👍🏼 it’s a $50 fee payable through PayPal 🤗
