What do you need to know when you're new to wigs and toppers? We’ve got the answers, from how to know if your wig fits correctly to achieving a natural-looking hairline and parting with a topper.

Every person with curly hair wants that defined spiral that moves like a spring. 

Picture perfect hair.

Curls so voluminous that even the 80’s would be jealous of your luscious locks.

I started straightening my hair at 13

Saying those two words, "I do" have never been more life-changing, destiny-altering. As you look into the eyes of your partner-for-life, I'm telling you the last thing you want to think about is your hair.

But saying "yes to the tress" is not as easy as you'd first think it would be. 

Here's some of the advice I have for future brides on things I thought went well and some things I wish I would have done. 

 

I consider myself a hair-wearing novice. I bought my first piece in February 2019, but did not start regularly wearing hair until a few months ago. What got in my way of wearing the dang hair were my insecurities that the piece didn’t look natural. I would throw it on, debate it for as long as it took me to get ready, and end up taking it off.  

I also consider myself an impulsive person so it was not surprising that, despite my only recent plunge to begin wearing hair, I found myself communicating with a lovely hair loss sister (@skinandscrunchies) about buying her topper. Not any topper, though… a topper with bangs! I had never rocked such a look (unless you count toddler bangs).

Tahnee Brown started as a hair colorist by training, but when she experienced hair loss due to personal events, her life changed forever. 

She started the Facebook group, Hair Loss Sisters, to unite women who were experiencing the same issues as she had been going through. Little did she know, it would become a huge success with almost 12K followers and numerous posts from many women every day!

About 3 years into her page, she decided to take a leap of faith and create pieces for her new brand, The Hair Mama. 

Her goal was to create fresh and modern hair colors and styles that weren't available in the market - and the brand took off!

I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me about my integrated hair topper, meaning that it stayed on my head 24/7! I showered with it, went to the gym with it and, though I never tried, I could even swim with it! 

The best thing about my integrated system is that it helped me accept my hair loss. But there are some caveats to an integrated hair system that are important to know before committing as well.

Read on for my personal experience and the pros and cons of integrated hair toppers!
