Do Follea Hair Toppers Look Natural?
Absolutely! Follea hair toppers are designed to look incredibly natural, and here’s why…
Follea toppers are made from 100% European human hair, which is known for its fine texture and natural sheen. Because our hair hasn’t been heavily processed, it’s healthy, retains a natural luster, and can be styled just like your own hair to give a realistic and beautiful appearance.
“I love the European hair. There's a big difference in the quality of hair compared to other brands. You need to see and feel the fine texture and the natural shine of Follea,” says one of our customers, Merritt.
Another customer, Amy, noticed her hair loss from PCOS was progressing and began to look into wearing alternative hair.
She explains, “I did some research and discovered that toppers existed. I dabbled with synthetic toppers at first, which didn’t work out because they didn’t look natural at all. And then I discovered Follea Trend toppers. I feel complete when I’m wearing my Follea topper. I never have to wonder whether I’m going to have a good hair day.”
When Daniel Alain customer, Emily, first tried on her Follea Trend topper she “immediately felt confident in how I look and who I am as a person. I’ve never felt more fabulous than when I have my hair on, and at this point, I don’t even recognize myself without it.”
An important way to make a hair topper look natural is to have it trimmed to match your natural hair perfectly. Even if you buy a topper that’s the same length as your natural hair, having layers, face-framing pieces, or even bangs cut in to your topper, will help it blend and look undetectable.
“If the topper hair is too short, you will see the existing hair coming through the piece. If it’s too long, it will be thin at the ends. The secret to a natural look is having the topper trimmed to blend in,” explains Patricia, owner of The Salon at 10 Newbury in Boston, and Follea retailer partner.
How Long Do Follea Toppers Last?
Follea toppers are known for their durability, but just how long do they last? Well, with proper care and maintenance, our consultants say that our toppers will last between 2 to 4 years.
Our toppers are handcrafted in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility by skilled artisans who have spent years mastering their craft. Unlike machine-made or mass-produced pieces, our toppers are luxury items made with the utmost care and precision to ensure they last a long time.
However, the lifespan of your topper can vary based on how often you wear it and how well you take care of it.
"I've had my Follea topper for over two years now, and it still looks fantastic. The quality is incredible!" says Daniel Alain customer, Sara who wore a Petite topper and recently upgraded to a Trend topper as her hair has continued to thin.
Tips to Extend the Life of Your Topper
Gentle Washing Use gentle shampoo and hydrating conditioner every 7-10 wears.
Proper Drying Gently pat the topper dry with a towel and let it air dry. Avoid excessive heat.
Storage Store your topper on a wig stand to maintain its shape and prevent tangles.
Minimize Heat Styling Limit the use of heat styling tools to reduce damage.
Are Follea Toppers Easy to Wear and Style?
Follea toppers are designed to be both comfortable to wear all day and easy to style. Because they’re made from high-quality human hair, you can style them just like your own hair. Whether you prefer wearing your hair straight, wavy, or in an updo, you have the versatility to make the piece feel like a true part of you.
Customers have styled their toppers for everyday looks and special occasions and enjoy the confidence that comes from feeling like themselves.
“Because my topper is human hair, I can use a curling wand or straightening iron on it,” says Daniel Alain customer, Kelly, who wears a Trend topper to cover a bald spot on the top of her head from radiation to treat cancer.. “Anything I would do with my own hair I can do with my topper.”
“I recommend wearing your topper in a way that feels the most natural to you,” Kelly explains. “If you’ve always worn your hair up in a ponytail, wear it in a ponytail! Wearing your topper in familiar ways will give you the confidence to feel like yourself.”
Emily also enjoys the versatility that comes from wearing her Follea hair topper and explains, “I love that I can wear it in any style I want. I usually like to wear it in a headband or hair clip, but I also like it half up, half down, straight, curly, or maybe even braids.”
Are Follea Toppers Good Value for Money?
When considering a Follea topper, it's natural to wonder if they are worth the investment. Our hair toppers are indeed expensive and often considered an investment piece, with starting prices reflecting the high quality and craftsmanship involved. Follea toppers start at around $1,403 and can go up to $5,789, depending on the style and specifications.
When you compare Follea toppers to other brands, the difference in quality and value is clear. Other brands that use synthetic hair or lower-quality human hair don’t look as natural or last as long. Although Follea toppers come at a higher price, their durability, longevity, versatility, craftsmanship, and realistic appearance will bring years of confidence and peace of mind.
“My topper from Daniel Alain cost around $3000,” explains Emily. “For me, it’s well worth the price. If I had to estimate, I’d guess that over the last five years I’ve probably spent at least $5000 on over the counter medications, hair consultations at my dermatologist’s office, shampoos, serums, scalp massagers, and injections. I wish I had found my hair topper sooner. It could have saved me a lot of money.”
When Might a Follea Topper Not Be the Right Fit?
While Follea toppers are a fantastic choice for many, they might not be the perfect fit for everyone. Here are a few reasons why:
Hair Loss Pattern and Type
The pattern and type of hair loss you are experiencing will influence whether a topper is the best option. Follea toppers are ideal for those with thinning hair or localized hair loss. However, if you have extensive hair loss, a full wig might provide better coverage and a more seamless look.
Daniel Alain customer, Barb, explains that she didn’t have enough hair around her front hairline for a topper.
“You need a strong hairline in order for the topper to blend in with your bio hair. You want to pull some pieces of your own hair forward and out from beneath the topper and this gives you the most natural look. I didn’t have enough hair to do that so a wig was a better option for me.”
Hair Type and Texture
Although Follea toppers use high-quality European hair, the texture and volume may not match everyone's natural hair perfectly. It's essential to consider how well the topper will blend with your hair type to achieve the most natural look.
Budget Considerations
Follea toppers are a premium product, and their price reflects the high quality of materials and craftsmanship. If budget is a primary concern, these toppers might be outside your price range. There are more affordable options available, but they may not offer the same level of quality and durability.
