1. How to apply hair toppers?

Before we jump into the way to remove a hair topper, let’s first take an overview of the installation process of hair toppers.

Hair toppers can be applied using clips attached to the toppers or adhesive tape. Below is how to wear a hair topper in both ways:

  • Divide your hair where you want to place the hair topper.
  • With clip installation: Open the clips on the hair topper first. Then, position the topper over the parted section of your hair. After that, secure the clips by snapping them shut onto your natural hair.
  • With tape installation: Firstly, apply double-sided tape to the perimeter of the hair topper. Next, remove the backing from the tape. After that, place the topper onto the desired area of your head and press firmly to secure it in place.
  • Once installed, blend your natural hair with the hair topper and style as desired.

2. Step-by-step guidance on how to remove hair topper

So, you’ve known how to apply a hair topper, and now it’s time to learn how to remove and replace hair topper.

Step 1: Prepare your Hair

Before removing the hair topper, gently comb through your natural hair to detangle any knots or tangles. You can use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to avoid causing unnecessary stress or damage to your hair.

Step 2: Identify the attachment method

As we have mentioned above, hair toppers can be attached using various methods, including clips, tapes, or adhesive bonds. So, before you remove the hairpiece, you need to determine the attachment method used for your hair topper to ensure a proper removal process.

Step 3: Remove your hair topper

  • Release the Clips or Fasteners: If your hair topper is secured with clips or fasteners, carefully release each attachment point by gently pressing the release mechanism or sliding your fingers underneath the clips to open them. Take your time to avoid pulling or tugging on your hair.
  • Remove Tape or Adhesive Bonds: For hair toppers attached with tape or adhesive bonds, use a specially formulated adhesive remover or solvent to dissolve the adhesive. Apply the remover along the edges of the hairpiece and allow it to penetrate the adhesive for a few minutes. Once the adhesive has softened, gently lift the edges of the hair topper away from your scalp, taking care not to pull on your hair.

Step 4: Lift and Remove the Hair Topper

With the clips or adhesive bonds released, gently lift the hair topper away from your scalp, starting from the front and working your way towards the back. Use your fingers to carefully loosen any remaining adhesive or tape as you lift the hairpiece away from your head.

Step 5: Clean and Store the Hair Topper

Once the hair topper is removed, gently clean it with a mild shampoo and lukewarm water to remove any residue or buildup. Allow the hairpiece to air dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
