2017 Jon Renau Topper Collection

A Topper is a hairpiece that is not a full wig.  It covers the any area of hair loss.  Hair Loss can be different for each person.  Early stages of hair loss can be just in the part area or on the front hair line. These hairpieces are also good for adding volume and length for those with fine hair.  Here are is a quick rundown on the new styles from Jon Renau.

easiPart French Drawn 

Up until now we have had easiParts in Heat Defiant Synthetic and Human Hair.  The French Drawn easiPart is a new concept with the great features of an easiPart but it is French Drawn.  French knotting is a superior knotting technique that creates the most realistic natural look. The hairpiece is 100% Remy Human Hair.

This method of french drawn knotting features  the most invisible knots ever seen in a hairpiece as the knots are in the swiss lace in between layers of glass silk and they are no where to be seen in the glass silk layers.The French Drawn monofiliament also allows multi directional parting as well as the most natural looking crown. The innovative French Drawn top is constructed with the finished length and return pulled through the top layer of glass silk which creates the most natural density.

It can also be styled with heat tools just as you style your own hair. easiPart French HH is everything you want out of a clip in topper – it gives you fuller, healthy looking hair and no one would ever guess you’re wearing an add on.

 

The easipart has always been a great hairpiece that suits many wearers who are experiencing early stages of Hair loss and for those who just want more volume to their existing hair. It is available in 12″ and 18″ lengths as well.

Which Toupee Tape Should I Use?

What do we need Toupee Tapes for?

Toupee tape is used to attach hairpieces and wigs.  There are different double backed tapes for different uses.   They are colored so we can recognize which tape is for which application but when applied they are all clear.  They are sold in rolls or strips which is a personal preference to which one you prefer.

A couple things to note:

1.It is important to always clean your scalp and prepare the surface for applying your wig, hairpiece or toupee.

2.It mean seem after the shower that the tape is weakening from the steam of the shower.As your skin dries up the bond will harden.

3.  Everyone is different and the tape may last longer on some more than others depending on the skin’s oil and environment issues.

 

4. It’s always a good idea to test a small piece of tape on your skin before applying for an extended time in case of allergies.

The Difference between a Wig and A Toupee

What is a Wig?  What is a Toupee?

The use of a wig or a toupee are very different.  A wig is a to cover the full head entirely whether the wearer has hair or not. A wig can be taken off easily and doesn’t need any special glues to hold it in place.  The wig is elasticised and will hold firmly on the wearer comfortably.

A toupee is used to cover a bald spot on the wearer’s head.  A special adhesive is applied to hold the toupee in place.   It is usually for males and not so much for females.  A good toupee needs to be fitted by a specialist to integrate the toupee with the wearer’s own hair. Usually the wearer will need to go back to the stylist to have it removed as well.  If you don’t want to apply the toupee with glue, it can be attached with clips but it may not be as secure as if the adhesive is used.

Caring for a wig or a toupee will require special shampoo and conditioner formulated for wigs and toupees.  The only difference would be that you can take your wig off and wash it in a basin and a Toupee you would wash while wearing the hairpiece.

Whether you choose a toupee or a wig is a personal preference.  Both can look fabulous and give you a boost of confidence of your appearance.
