The face framing layers and bangs really make this topper look natural. It adds versatility since you can wear the bangs pulled out or "swooped" to the side. Good choice. Another informative video. You are very natural in front of the camera. ;)
Thank you so much for the video. I have watched so many videos and was feeling discouraged because I hated mine and wondered what was wrong with me. You are right- you have to keep working on them. You answered so many of my questions Thank you
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much! 🥰💕 I’m here whenever you have any questions. I’m happy to help! Uniwigs does have some great affordable options. 🙂
Looks very pretty. I’m struggling with my first one the Rachel Welsh Alpha Wave finally yesterday I had some front hair adjusted it came with way more in the front then what I was expecting 😅 can’t wait to try it on today. I wish I could’ve watched more of your videos before I made my first purchase. I’m loving this halo one your just reviewed.
Do Velcro grips can work better say for the back but use the clip in front… i have Audrey with bangs. Are Velcro grips better for my bio hair than clips?
Hello Lacie! Thanks SO much for these videos, they have already answered a lot of questions for me! I've got one more though that I'm hoping you might be able to help with. I am curious on your opinion on wefting in a topper. Do you feel like it makes a topper sit flatter and maybe more securely? I am on the fence between 2 toppers, one with a mono top and wefting, and the other is a silk topper. I'd prefer the realism of the silk topper but I'm just nervous that it won't sit flat enough. I thought I'd see how you felt about wefting and if you felt it was a help.
Hi there! So I thought I’d hate wefting on a topper but it’s never been a problem in my Uniwigs topper. It sits very flat and I feel like it allows my head to breathe well. I’ve had 100% hand tied caps that were mostly mono with just a silk part and those laid flat top. However, I’ve never tried a full hand tied silk top so I can’t really compare the wefting to something like that. Which silk topper are you looking into?
@@lacie.rodriguezThanks for the response!!! This will be my first topper and I'm so confused! I've been looking pretty hard at the Uniwigs Stella or Bella toppers. I really like the idea of a silk base since they look so much more realistic BUT, it doesnt really matter how realistic the base is if it wont lay flat. One of these toppers (the Stella I think), has a smaller base. I like the coverage of a larger base, but do you think that a smaller base would be easier to get to lay flat? Also, I'm a bit concerned about the hair texture. Sadly, my own hair is super fine so I'm worried that the hair on the Uniwigs topper won't blend very well. What did you think about the hair texture on your Claire topper?
Personally I always err on the larger side for a base. Not only does it offer more coverage but it’s also more comfortable and causes less damage to bio hair because the weight is distributed better. Larger bases still can lay flat 👍 the only disadvantage I see to a larger base is that it’s a little less versatile when it comes to updos. You’ll have a harder time doing a high ponytail with a larger base. As for hair texture, it really just depends on the piece. Most toppers I’ve seen have fairly fine hair though so you’re most likely going to be fine. My Claire topper hair isn’t as fine as my bio hair but I don’t think it’s noticeable at all. Especially since the topper makes up the bulk of my hair anyway. The only guarantee of finer hair is high quality European which can be very pricey. But I think you’ll probably be fine with Chinese, Indian, Mongolian, or even Brazilian. 🤗 best of luck!!! ❤️
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that! I’ve heard of some people not being pleased with the quality of hair from Uniwigs. I think it also depends on expectations. It is a budget line so most of the hair has some curl/wave/frizz. It’s more processed than higher quality toppers. The products you use on it can also make a big difference too.
I have a question because I am wanting to get a topper to add more volume to my hair. Is this damaging? You said you had traction alopecia due to a topper. Do you have to wear them because it causes so much damage or do you have alopecia and some toppers make it worse? I just don’t want to ruin my hair.
I like the video and the topper. I am in the market for a topper and have lots of questions. For one, what size would I use? I am petite and do not have a large head. My hair is fine, curly, wavy. I have it cut in layers to give more fullness. I like height on the crown of my head with little or no part. Can you help me select one? I am concerned that I will buy a topper and it will be too thick to blend into my natural hair giving it a "bush look." As you can tell, I do not have a clue on how to select one off the internet. Can you help me?
Hi Lacie! Thank you for these reviews, very helpful. I actually purchased the Courtney topper by Uniwig last year at your recommendation but I still haven't figured out how to wear it and feel comfortable. I have a question on the Megan, it does not appear to come with bangs like the Claire you just reviewed. They are not the same, right? I actually like the bangs on you in addition to the curtain layers.
Great idea with the bangs! Did ur stylist alter the color or add the root? This looks different from the G-4 med brwn pieces I've purchased from uniwigs.
Are you still wearing this Claire with halo? I just retrned the regular Claire as it was the wrong colour for me, and also felt loose on my head (I have a small head with contouring that means many pieces do not sit flat). Wondering about the halo, if this might make me feel more secure. Kind of locked into Uniwigs now as I have a big credit with them. I see they still have the Meghan in stock, although discontinued. Did you ever try it?
Of course! It’s actually pretty lightweight though. It has a lot of volume because of the mono top but it’s actually not too much hair. But it can definitely be thinned if you prefer. 👍🏼
Wait did that come with the string? Do all their toppers have a string? The fact that it has bangs is crazy real looking!!! I have never seen a hairline look that real! Did your hairdresser cut the bangs into it, it looks like it came constructed with bangs when you took it off with hair in front, but there are no bangs on the one in the link you provided.
Hi there! Yes it did come with the string. Not all their pieces come with it though. My stylist cut the bangs on this piece. It’s just a tiny amount of bangs but makes all the difference! 🙌🏼
I absolutely understand this concern and have heard horror stories. I have also heard of beautiful stories where the donor can make great use of the money they receive in exchange for their hair. But just like purchasing any other product in the world, we can try to work with reputable companies and be mindful consumers. Beyond that, I don’t think anyone should be shamed for wanting to wear a human hair wig. ☺️

Thanks so much Suzanne! I’m glad it was helpful and yes, I love the bangs on this one 😍

Thank you
So glad to hear it was helpful! Keep at it! I’m always here if you have any other questions 🤗🥰
Hi, dear. Thank you for reviewing our Upgrade Claire Topper. What a great video! It looks so awesome on you❤️
Thanks so much! Loving this piece ❤️
It looks amazing!
Lacie, your so relatable and natural. Thank you for your review. I’m looking… scared to spend so much money.
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much! 🥰💕 I’m here whenever you have any questions. I’m happy to help! Uniwigs does have some great affordable options. 🙂
Thanks!
I m planning to buy a topper and I love the color and I m planning to cut bangs like yours. It really looks good on you.
Thanks so much! I absolutely love wearing toppers! Best solution for me 🙌
Plz support me sis
Your videos are so fun. Thank you!!!
Thank you! This means a lot 🥰
It looks so cute on you!
Thanks ☺️

Thank you! Having it cut will make such a difference. You won’t be feeling all that extra weight in the front. 🙂 excited for you! 🤗
Do Velcro grips can work better say for the back but use the clip in front… i have Audrey with bangs.
Are Velcro grips better for my bio hair than clips?
Really pretty Topper!!! ❤❤
Love this topper,love the color.Can you work with it to add volume ,and change the part to the side.
You can! I have a video in my shorts where I show you how to add volume. 🙂 you have some wiggle room with parting the side as well!
Now that you have both the upgraded Courtney and the upgraded Claire, which is your preference and why please?

I have the Melanie topper and it’s terrible. It’s so frizzy and I’ve tried everything to try to fix it but nothing has work

It is a budget line so most of the hair has some curl/wave/frizz. It’s more processed than higher quality toppers. The products you use on it can also make a big difference too.
Can you do a list of websites where you buy your toppers
Yes! Here’s a link to a video I did on instagram where I tagged a whole bunch! instagram.com/reel/CS9RT2gHk2j/?
I have a question because I am wanting to get a topper to add more volume to my hair. Is this damaging? You said you had traction alopecia due to a topper. Do you have to wear them because it causes so much damage or do you have alopecia and some toppers make it worse? I just don’t want to ruin my hair.

Can you help me?
I use a thin head band when I don’t want to clip the clips.
That’s a great idea 🙌🏼😉
why don't you use those velvet headbands underneath that the clips go onto? I'd hate having my few strands getting pulled out by clips!
I do use it from time to time. It feels more comfortable to me personally without it on certain toppers. ☺️
What styling products do you use on your human hair topper
Most of them are linked here: facebook.com/groups/nofilterbeauties/
Hi dear can you help me I want to order 1 like this can you tell where can order thanks?
Hi Hanh! Here’s the link to all of my My Personal Toppers: www.lacierodriguez.com/links
Hi Lacie. Where did you buy the topper grip
It's from Amazon amzn.to/3XDrjlR
Looks very good.
Thanks ☺️
Hi Lacie! Thank you for these reviews, very helpful. I actually purchased the Courtney topper by Uniwig last year at your recommendation but I still haven't figured out how to wear it and feel comfortable.

Great idea with the bangs! Did ur stylist alter the color or add the root? This looks different from the G-4 med brwn pieces I've purchased from uniwigs.
Yep we customized the color 🤗
Beautiful!
Thank you ☺️❤️
Are you still wearing this Claire with halo? I just retrned the regular Claire as it was the wrong colour for me, and also felt loose on my head (I have a small head with contouring that means many pieces do not sit flat). Wondering about the halo, if this might make me feel more secure. Kind of locked into Uniwigs now as I have a big credit with them. I see they still have the Meghan in stock, although discontinued. Did you ever try it?
I do wear it from time to time. The halo does help, it allows me to tighten or loosen as I wish which helps. I haven’t tried the Meghan. 🙂
Can people add fishing line to make their own halo?
Try using that stretchy jewelry clear cord, .8mm
Thank you. 🌹
Anytime! 🤗
Lacie--I love this one. Can a stylist thin it all around? Might be too much hair for me. Thank you.
Of course! It’s actually pretty lightweight though. It has a lot of volume because of the mono top but it’s actually not too much hair. But it can definitely be thinned if you prefer. 👍🏼
SI visit the link you put not the same wig completely deferent
It’s the same topper but mine has been customized with some balayage highlights and bangs cut in 👍🏼
Thank you
I just checked the Megan and it's discontinued! So many are...
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you find what you need. I’m happy to help.
Wait did that come with the string? Do all their toppers have a string? The fact that it has bangs is crazy real looking!!! I have never seen a hairline look that real!

Yes it really does...amazing when you took it off they looked like they were "growing" from the front of the unit!!!
You look beautiful
🥰❤️
Why would anyone wear human hair wigs? The stories of how they get the hair is very disturbing. NO ONE should support human hair wigs.
I absolutely understand this concern and have heard horror stories. I have also heard of beautiful stories where the donor can make great use of the money they receive in exchange for their hair. But just like purchasing any other product in the world, we can try to work with reputable companies and be mindful consumers.
