The older we get, the more we realize how much we took our thick, youthful hair for granted. While age is a major factor for thinning hair in women, it's not the only place to point blame. Loss of density can also be chalked up to genetics, hormones, scalp conditions, medications, and even stress.
For some, thinning hair is only a minor confidence-denting nuisance. For others, it can be a legitimate source of anxiety and low self-esteem. And while there are plenty of products on the market that claim to thicken hair, most don't live up to their lofty promises. This is where hair toppers for thinning hair come in.
A hair topper is a small wiglet that's used to cover thinning hair or a widening part (the most common ways hair loss manifests in women). It sits on the crown of your head and attaches to your existing tresses with combs or clips. Toppers for thinning hair come in different lengths, textures, and colors to match your natural 'do—but how realistic they look depends entirely on the kind of strands that are used.
Real human hair is a key element in creating a believable blend. If you opt for a cheaper alternative (i.e., synthetic), anyone who gets close enough will be able to tell that your luscious locks aren't all your own. High-quality human hair toppers for thin hair, however, are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
While hair toppers for women's thinning hair are not a cure, they can go a long way in helping you feel like your old self again.
Our line of LUXURY european hair toppers
As previously mentioned, you can't just throw any old strands on a wiglet and call it a day. The hair has to be lustrous, healthy, and believable if you want your topper to do its job. But finding top-quality hair is only half the battle. The other important factor is who's crafting your topper.
At Daniel Alain, we only work with the best of the best. Our real hair toppers for thinning hair are made with 100% unprocessed European human hair that's sourced from the world's only private reserve. That means you're getting the top 10% of hair on the planet—the crème de la crème if you will. These strands are so toucheably soft and realistic that you'll be surprised they're not growing out of your own scalp.
What's more, our toppers are designed and handcrafted by wig-making experts with decades of industry experience. They take days to hand-tie each individual strand to a soft, breathable lace front cap to ensure a seamless, natural-looking blend. The result is a hair topper that's so light and comfortable that you'll forget you're wearing it.
Trust us when we say that these aren't your average toppers for thinning hair. Each one is a work of art designed to give you back the luscious locks and killer volume you thought you lost for good.
So what are you waiting for? Keep reading to get on a first-name basis with our collection of the best hair toppers for thinning hair.
PETITE TOPPER
She's a best-seller for a reason. Coming in with a small, 2.5 x 5.25-inch base and moderate volume, Petite is the perfect solution for women who have just had their first panicky mirror realization that their hair is starting to lose some of its fluff. It's ideal for covering those first pesky signs of hair thinning.
Despite her small size, this little lady is a real powerhouse. She comes in three long lengths and multiple colors that you can style however you please—all part directions included. Best of all, Petite is so lightweight and breezy that you'll forget she's even there.
TREND TOPPER
Need a little more coverage? Never fear, Trend is here. With two medium base size options (5 x 6 inches and 6 x 7.5 inches) to choose from, this topper is designed for women who are dealing with a little more hair loss. That's right, with Trend on your team, you can stop worrying about that ever-widening part that never seems to stop growing.
Like Petite, Trend is made with 100% unprocessed European human hair. But because she has a larger base, she also comes with more hair, which means more oomph in the volume department. So you can get all the razzle-dazzle and coverage you need without ever having to worry about your topper looking too fake or over-the-top.
Step into the spotlight with Trend.
STYLE TOPPER

But you don't have to hide underneath a baseball cap while you wait for your hair to grow back in.

Style's large base options (6 x 6.5 inches or 6. 7.5 inches) provide full coverage for women who have advanced stages of hair thinning. It also comes with a small, closed lace front that's perfect for blending into your existing hairline.

frequently asked questions
What is the Difference Between a Hair Topper & Wig?
The main difference between hair toppers and wigs is the amount of coverage they provide. Hair toppers are meant to cover small areas of thinning hair (usually on the crown), while wigs provide full coverage. A topper will sit on the top—hence the name—of your head and blend in with your existing tresses. Wigs, on the other hand, will completely replace your hair.
Will a Topper Match My Hair?
A good topper will. Ideally, you want your topper to match both the color and texture of your hair. It may take some experimenting to find the right shade, but that's exactly what our team of experts is here for.
Are Hair Toppers Good for Thinning Hair?
Yes! Toppers were designed precisely for thinning hair as they can cover up some of the most common areas of hair loss while still looking natural. They're also a great way to add volume and density to your existing hair. Some women wear toppers even if they don't have hair thinning just because they love the extra oomph it gives their hair.
How Do You Attach a Topper to Thin Hair?
Most toppers—like the ones we sell at Daniel Alain—come with built-in clips that just snap into place, making it easy to attach to your existing hair. Others will come with combs or other methods of attachment.
Can You Tell if Someone is Wearing a Hair Topper?
If it's a high-quality human hair topper, no. A good topper will be virtually undetectable, even if you're standing right next to the person wearing it. The only way someone would be able to tell is if they were looking for it specifically or if the topper wasn't a good match for the person's hair. A low-quality topper made with synthetic fibers, however, can be quite obvious.
Do Hair Toppers Stay-On?
Yep! Hair toppers are designed to lock into place, so you can feel confident that your topper will stay put no matter what you're doing. Whether you're out for a run or dancing the night away, your topper should stay firmly in place. Of course, some more rigorous activities like swimming may loosen your topper, so it's best to take it off before hopping in the pool.
What is the Most Natural Looking Hair Topper?
The most natural-looking hair topper is one that's made with high-quality, real human hair and designed with a hand-tied lace front cap. The human hair ensures that your topper will look and feel just like your natural hair, while the lace front cap gives the illusion of a seamless hairline. The realism is just unmatched—which is why all of Daniel Alain's toppers are made with this exact construction.
How Much Do Hair Toppers Cost?
The cost for a hair topper depends on both the quality of materials and the size of the base. Our human hair toppers start at $1,242 and go up to $7,030. We also offer monthly payment plans to make the investment more manageable.
How Do You Maintain a Human Hair Topper?
Proper maintenance is key if you want to extend the life of your hair topper and get the most wear out of it. If you're wearing it every day, you'll want to wash it at least once a week using mild shampoo and conditioner. Be sure to use products that are sulfate-free and specifically designed for color-treated hair to avoid damaging your topper. Use heat-based tools sparingly (and always with a heat protectant), and when you're not wearing your topper, store it on a wig or nightstand.
Do Hair Toppers Damage Your Hair?
Toppers will only damage your hair if your hair is not strong enough to hold the added pressure of the clips. Any ripping or uncomfortable tugging is a sign that the topper is too heavy for your hair. If you worry this could be you, opt for a wig instead. They'll give you all the coverage and volume of a topper without the added pressure on your strands.
Are Hair Toppers Worth it?
Absolutely! A hair topper is a great solution for anyone with thinning hair looking who wants to add volume and coverage. They're easy to put on and take off, and with proper care, they can last for years.
What Can I Do to Treat Thinning Hair?
The first step in treating hair thinning is to figure out what's causing it. Once you know the root cause, you can begin to treat it accordingly through diet changes, supplements, medications, or other treatments.
What Are the Different Types of Human Hair Toppers?
Not all human hair toppers are created equal. In fact, there are five different types of human hair toppers, each with its own set of pros and cons.
Here are the most common hair types used:
European Hair
European hair toppers are the most popular type of human hair topper on the market. They're sourced from Eastern Europe and are known for being the highest quality—and also the most expensive..
Indian Hair
Indian hair toppers are sourced from, you guessed it, India. They're a good middle-of-the-road option in terms of quality and price, and they're very versatile. However, they are super textured, so they're not going to give you that soft silky look.
Asian Hair
Asian hair toppers are another affordable option, and they're actually pretty similar to Indian hair toppers. However, some companies use "waste hair" in their wigs—which is hair that's collected from floors, brushes, and drains.
Virgin Hair
The golden goose of the wig industry, virgin hair is hair that's never been processed or chemically dyed. It's super hard to come by. So if you find it, be prepared to pay a premium price.
Remy Hair
Remy hair is when all the hair's cuticles are facing in the same direction. This helps to reduce tangling and matting and gives the hair a smoother appearance. Remy hair is usually more expensive than non-Remy hair, but it's definitely worth the investment.
