Topper made from Long Wig

 

<After>

 

Susan showed me her wig and asked if there was any way to make it lighter — possibly turn it into a topper. I said yes and showed her a sample I had already made.

She said, “I’m in the right place! I’ve been looking for a specialist who can do that!”

After a thorough consultation, we decided to cut the bottom part of the wig and turn it into a wide topper that would cover the cowlick at the back of her hair.

Since the wig was fully hand-tied, it was more challenging to convert than a wefted wig. Still, I carefully cut and hemmed the perimeter and attached clips according to her hair pattern.

The hair loss from trimming the base was minimal, and it turned out to be a beautiful long human hair topper.

Topper made from a full wig

 

When my client A brought her mother to me, she was searching for a solution to her mother's extremely thin hair. She hoped for something made of human hair, as her mother didn’t want to wear a full wig.

I explained the pros and cons of human hair versus synthetic options and let her try on a synthetic wig that was almost an exact match to her natural hair color and texture. To make it work for her, I folded the back of the wig, allowing her own hair to blend beautifully with the wig’s hair. They loved the concept and left excited about the possibilities.

Just a week later, her custom topper was ready. Her mother loved it so much that they immediately ordered a second one in the same design!
