A topper is not a wig. It covers the top of your head and blends into the hair you still have, so if your parting has widened or the crown has thinned while the sides and back are holding, this fills in what has changed and leaves the rest of your hair to do its own work.

This is the long version of the Medium Top Piece Mono. The hair runs to 18 inches from the crown and falls straight, which makes it the one to choose if your own hair is long and you need the topper to disappear into it rather than sit above a shorter length and give itself away.

The base is monofilament across the whole top. Every hair is tied into a fine mesh by hand, so a parting shows something that reads as scalp rather than a hard seam, and you can move that parting to wherever your own hair naturally falls.

Two things are worth knowing before you choose this one. There is no lace front, so the front edge is a fabric border rather than a sheer one. There is also no fringe, unlike the Medium Top Piece Mono. Between them that means the front edge needs your own hair brought forward over the join, so this piece suits a woman who still has a hairline to work with rather than one whose front has already gone.

It attaches with pressure sensitive clips that grip your own hair, so it goes on and comes off in seconds with no adhesive and nothing to learn.

Rene of Paris does not list this piece among its heat friendly styles, so treat it as standard synthetic and keep hot tools away from it.
