Jill, you melt my heart and make me tear up when you say, be nice. You are such a sweetie that I cannot imagine anyone NOT being nice to you. I always feel that the only reason you do videos is to help those of us who need help so much. Being a retired teacher, I am so impressed by someone like you who is able to give such excellent directions. You know there are a lot of us who are in the same boat as you. We are thankful for helping us to look in the mirror and feel pretty again. I’m also hyper sensitive. Geez I thought it was just me who suffers with that. Thank you, sweet lady.
Yours is the first comment I read this morning....and what a kind, sweet one to read. You made my whole day...truly. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch AND to write, and post this. I hope you have a lovely day!

I have so much respect for you. When you choked and said be nice I could hardly hold back the tears. I don't think I could ever be as brave as you wonderful women who post videos for women like us. So a huge thank you ❤️
I'm so proud of you, I have never seen you without a wig on. Very brave to let us see your bio hair, and its so helpful to others who have hair loss to see the difference. Love it!
Oh girl you got me when you got teary. I feel it too. This topper thing is so exciting! I never found a wig I felt comfortable in, aesthetically or comfort wise. Now I am gonna look into toppers. Thank you so much.
Awww you were almost crying when you took your topper off. You're beautiful with or without. I'm in the same boat with you and understand how you feel.
Thank you Jill, I found this very helpful and love it that you admit to being hypersensitive, I am exactly the same and it's nice to hear that someone feels the way you do. I have been considering a topper for a long time, just need to take the plunge. Thanks for this!
I am so happy you enjoyed this one, and found it helpful! Yes...I have been since I can remember both w/ how things feel on my skin and noises...really, all the senses! I had no idea HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) was a thing until well into my 40's. It all made sense!! Let me know how it goes if you do decide to take the plunge...and remember those clips do NOT need to be so tight that they cause discomfort! ;)
I know this video isn't new, but the idea of toppers is new to ME. I've thinned SOOO much in the past few months & am starting to research options. My sincere THANKS to you for all you share and for your warmth, honesty & encouragement!!! I have no females to talk to about this.
Beautiful girl. Don't cry, you are lovely. Don't worry I've had the same dam thin, fine hair all my life. Now I'm watching you teaching me all the tips and tricks to give my baby fine hair a rest and have a play with grey toppers. (Yes I'm old but I still care about how I look.) You look amazing with that gorgeous topper.
Thank you for sharing. I purchased my first topper last year and I am absolutely in love with it. It is not this one that you are showing but was looking for another topper. I will be purchasing this one. So glad I found your channel. :)
Can you believe I have only just learned about hair toppers. I thank you so much for doing these videos. Not only have I been losing my hair for many years now but I have quite a small head (I am only 5' tall, so I am in proportion), but it does present problems for me with wigs. I am going to get myself a topper and see how I go. I love your videos and I too am very sensitive and I applaud you for taking off your topper as you did. You are sweet and brave and give me so much hope.
Thanks Jill for all the great information. I just purchased my first wig and am waiting for it to be delivered. Toppers would be a great idea if I find my wigs to be uncomfortable, like you did, in the summer months. Looking forward for more of your videos.
Congrats on your first wig! EEEK! So exciting! I have a series called: New To Wigs? If you search for it in the search bar on my home page they will pop up! I think you will find some helpful! You may want to watch this one first since your first wig is on its way! ruclips.net/video/95W_zQVYbWo/видео.html
Thank you, Jill! Can’t wait to watch more videos on your topper journey. I find them so much more comfortable then a full wig, but I’ve had a hard time finding what I need. Most toppers are so long and at my age I am way beyond that!
Hi Kay! Thank you... ;) I do see what you mean about many more longer options w/ the hair pieces. BUT, don't forget...they can always be customized. You can trim them to a length that works for you! Check into salons that may be willing to do that for you. I have yet to invest in a human hair topper, but I would think they would be easier to cut and customize vs. a synthetic. (I could be wrong). Thanks for watching!
I love, love , love this video 😍 thank you so much Jill. I have ordered my top notch all the way from the USA in shaded mocha and it’s arriving tomorrow - I am so excited I can’t tell you 🙌🏻
Hi Jill...*warm smile....Gosh what can I say, that anyone else hasn't said yet, to let you know how thoroughly I have enjoyed your videos. I have spent the morning watching them...and learning! You are so down to earth and honest about your feelings, which is so endearing. You make this process feel so easy and less intimidating. I feel as though I am speaking with an old friend. Thank you for all your great tips and for sharing your experience! I too am new to toppers and a lover of 12Fs8...*smile. Experimenting has been both fun and frustrating at times. I find that it is a bit harder to find the right piece if one's hairline is not as far back as some of the other videos I have seen. Now that I know your "tip", to move the topper back a bit, I think my dilemma has been solved! I look forward to watching more of your videos. Till next time....Be Bold...Be Brave...Be Blessed!
Hi Jill, thank you for all your videos! You look great with/with out hair❤️ You are such a beautiful soul. I’m 49 and shedding hair as a dog, health issues. I feel like you in this video.
Jill, I progressed from toppers to wigs. After time I became very sensitive to the metal clips. I then used tape & different adhesives to keep the toppers on.
I just jumped into your topper pond after watching your video. I have a larger head, where hats never fit my head, so finding a large size wig is an issue. I returned my first ever wig mostly because the color was not suited to my skin tone plus it was still snug (probably needed the adjustment straps cut which I didn't want to do on that particular wig which I planned on returning). This left me disappointed in large size fit wig. Your video showed me I have choices other than a wig. Since I had a credit on the returned wig, I ordered a mono medium rooted topper! I'm hoping this is going to work well! I love watching your videos, I'm learning so much! Thank you. Jill!
Thank you Jill. I’ve been watching as many of your videos as I can. I haven’t purchased any yet but definitely need to. My bio hair is thinner than yours. I haven’t found the best site to buy a topper or wig. Thank you again for sharing!
I would have never known this wasn't your real hair!! I love that it's not so perfect but still so pretty!! I am SO tempted to purchase this...I even think your color might suit me. I'm going to look into it a bit more...I would love to take away some of the stress of "doing" my hair and being assured that it always looks nice!
Jill you absolutely rock in this topper. Just perfect on you, but then you look fantastic with anything you plop on your head. You really have the face and features to pull these off effortlessly. I've been wearing a topper for a year now. Used to wear extensions constantly but lost a lot of hair on the top if my head and had to switch to a topper. Thank god for them. Really a lifesaver and a life changer as well. I wear wigs as well and like that I'm able to change them off. Please continue what you're doing. I really enjoy your channel.
Thank you, Susan! I am a little in love with this here topper! LOL YES...I will always love my wigs, but I love this for another option...especially for SUMMER!! I am so happy you enjoy my channel, and appreciate you watching! Have a great day!
Wow ....Jill ...you look absolutely amazing ...yes ...spot on ...we just deal with the hand we are dealt with. You are such a positive lovely person. Thank you for that review . Thanks to you ...I've got my life back . Thanks.
Hi Maxine! Aww...you absolutely made my day! You are very sweet, and kind to post this...I appreciate you for watching, and beyond thrilled that my videos helped you in ANY way. Very encouraging to know...thank you!
What a great video, how I wish I had hair..not gonna lie ...i too got a little teary eyed as you talked,you look so great with a topper , why ever go back to wigs!, so enjoyed the amazing information.. Thanks Jill and I am so happy for you.
Aww...you are sweet. :) I love my wigs...they aren't going anywhere! ;) BUT...love toppers for warmer days for sure! I'll keep you all posted on it, and all I am learning. ;) Thank you, Terri...have a wonderful day!
I just ordered this in the same color as yours. It takes so long these days to curl my hair before I go out so now I'm going to just throw this on. No more rollers and fiddling around with the curling iron and root lifting spray. I'm getting too old. This will cut 2 hours off my ''getting ready to go out" time. I also ordered "Top Wave" in a 12-inch topper for when I DO want a bit of fullness. I'll have to place them one inch back to accommodate my bangs so I'm hoping the "bump at the back of the topper" will sit in the right place. Thanks for making these videos. They have made my selection so much easier.
Hi Jill, I wear my topper in to my hairdresser and have my hair layered with my own hair with some color that matches the topper. My guy was really good at matching not only the color but the amount of blonde inserted so it looks so natural. And I don't have to go to get it redone maybe 2 a year. My natural hair color and thinness is about the same as yours. So I related very much. Love your videos.
About two years ago I purchased a very expensive human hair topper from a salon that came highly recommended, as they only deal with faux hair clientele. I was never comfortable with it; only wore it once to a wedding, and other than that, I have only worn it one additional time when I went back to have it trimmed and styled, but again, I took it off as soon as I got home. I have always worn my hair off my face, (ponytails, buns, headbands) and even though my hair loss is in the crown area, I still like it back. When wearing the topper I feel like I have an ol’ rubber bathmat laying on my head. Of course the few people that have seen me in it don’t agree, but I just can’t stand it, and I’m not “visually” comfortable wearing it. Too much hanging hair... too much of a change that would draw attention to it...maybe it’s just me! I also feel it’s too dense, and because of that I recently purchased on my own a less dense topper... it arrived yesterday and I feel that is too sparse. Maybe it IS me! Now yours looks perfect to me... but I think you’ve developed a confidence since wearing wigs and you’ve figured out how to work with them. As I type this, it’s reached the part of your video where you’re getting emotional and what you’re saying is exactly how I feel... I just need to find the right product and be confident like you.
Hi Vicki! I think toppers are like wigs when it comes to how our 'eye' has to get use to seeing ourselves with a full head of hair! I do ALSO think that finding a good brand (in both) will increase your chances of having a successful experience. I knew I loved Jon Renau wigs...(my favorite) so, I went with a topper by Jon Renau for my first 'try'. Neither wigs or toppers are going to be perfect....but, you will eventually hit on one that you feel pretty great in, and you can work with it to really make it feel more like you. Have you tried putting a cute headband in your hair when you have toppers on? Do what you would do if you weren't wearing it! ;) Yes, confidence is key...and really it's the ONLY thing needed to pull off wigs/hair pieces of any sort. Truly...if you aren't convinced ...nobody else will be either.
Do you think a Jon Renau synthetic topper is a good starting point? I am hesitant to spend so much money until I see if it works for me. I am guessing you can't return them anywhere if you don't like them? @@JillLynnBeautyTherapy
Wow i could have wrote this myself! You sound _exactly_ like me same problems, same wants, same needs! I too have always worn my hair off my face I hate hair in my face or eyes it's in a ponytail or bun *always* and that's the only reason I haven't took the jump and purchased a topper (or wig) yet I haven't came across any that can truly be worn up securely off the face in a high ponytail ...honestly thinking they don't exist at this point * sigh *
Jill, you can't imagine how much your videos have helped me. I've just gotten my first topper yesterday and, although it is custom made an freaking perfect, I haven't been able to venture out of the house in it yet. I'll try and work my confidence with it in the coming weekend. I'm equally happy and terrified. You, though, are terrific,
Hi Andrea! You have to feel secure in it before venture out.. CONFIDENCE is key with these things! If you aren't feeling it, nobody else will either. Just remember...I guarantee nobody will ever think it's not your own hair. People just aren't even thinking that....let alone 'looking' for it. ;) YOU GOT THIS! With me...honestly, my confidence wavers...some days I feel fabulous in my faux hair, and other days it's not working for me for some reason?... That's totally normal. Don't beat yourself up if you have a day like that even after you have been wearing wigs/toppers for a long time! At least...that's how it is with me. ;) HAVE fun!
This is the second video I have watched on toppers. The first one was 15 minutes ago from Allison‘s journey. She’s great and because of her I went on to look at more. Watching your thorough video I’m convinced that this is where I want to go. I have about 14 wigs but they were too hot for summer. Thank you for sharing. You have helped me begin my journey.
Jill, you do such a fabulous jog explaining EVERYTHING! I really like the different tones in your hair / topper - very natural! I do think I would want to cut the RED tags out! haha
Thank you, Julie! ;) YES...I will be mentioning that! Hahaha! (red tags) I have done that...forgot to tuck them in. (thank the lord baby Jesus it was not out in the real world) LOL Thanks for watching! ;)
Jill, thank you so much for all the info. I too are thinning on the front and crown. I'm looking into toppers, because I feel that even though wigs are beautiful because of my hot flashes I will get so hot, so I want to try a topper first. I'll enter the world of wigs after my hot flashes are gone. Thanks again, so informative.
Aww...you are very sweet! Thank you so much for sharing with your friend....I hope she finds it helpful. I appreciate you watching and your very kind post. ;)
great video..I love my topper. it really is so easy to do quickly everyday. the Milan is a topper that is almost a wig. I would like to see you in that one. you continue to us ideas and confidence and help us to stay beautiful..much appreciated!
Aww...what a sweet comment that I have no idea why I missed!! Thank you so much, Gayle! I have been tempted by Milan! It may be my next purchase down the road!
Hi Jill and greetings from the U.K. I have only recently found your site on RUclips and I wanted to thank you for the great content and truly helpful advice. I have been researching toppers recently after purchasing 3 full wigs from Jon Renau, all Shaded Praline...yes I think I share your addiction to this colour 🙂 I have almost identical hair as yourself in colour, length and stage of loss and so was fascinated to learn from your invaluable experience with your first topper. I am excitedly awaiting my Top Notch delivery later this week and in the meantime I’m going to experiment with your Morphe palette eyeshadow tutorials. Keep up the good work for us mature ladies! Dee X
Hi dee, I'm also in the UK, may I ask you where you purchased your Jon Renau pieces from? If they were from the states what was the custom duty like? All of the good wig makers and websites are in the states but I'm too scared to buy from them because of the return process it sounds like an expensive nightmare If you need to return for whatever reason! And not knowing how much you're going to pay in customs is a bit off putting too
Oh why didn't I see this first, just ordered my first wig and I just know it's going to look ridiculous on me because although I'm not thinning, I have very fine hair. This looks exactly what I'm looking for, not too thin, not too heavy. Thank you for this video and your bravery for revealing your emotions, it really helps. For the record, you look terrific and it looks much better than the wigs, so natural and your happiness exudes, happy for you x
Your. GREAT‼️‼️ I’ve purchased a topper with very narrow strip not really a cap. Measures 3 in wide on top tapers down a bit and 5 in long I wear my hair back in kinda of French twist. Well I’m ready for more hair but I digress my question is do you prefer mono cap with or. Without lace front .? And why ? You’ve made this experience less scary. You have no idea how that feels. WELL MAYBE YOU DO ‼️‼️ that’s why your so good at what you do. THANKS. BUNCHES 😘
This is a great video, Jill! Like you, I feel everything, and I’ve not been able to find a wig that doesn’t make me cry by the end of the day. I don’t have a wig friendly head. I’ll be buying a topper VERY soon. You made me laugh out loud when you said we hope the nose is in the center of our face.... and the dirty glasses comment. Seriously Jill, you’re a gem!
I just bought a topper, a Jon Renau. I returned it the next day after watching your video. It was too long and wavy. I love how this topper works for you. Our bio hair is very similar. Mine is a little longer and a little blonder. I am waiting for UPS to deliver this topper as I'm writing this. I am needing to know what dry shampoo you used. I have some for blonde hair (I hate...Too yellow). I'd like to use it on the new topper as you did. Thanks for this great video!!
Hi Jill, I have watched quite a few of your videos, and started wearing full wigs in October, because my hair id thinner than yours is in this video. I was going to buy a Noriko wig that you reviewed but I want to feel my hair move and topper seems to be the answer. Thank you for such an informative video. You are amazing.
Your enthusiasm is definitely catching! I'm going to check out your links and if I can decide on a color for my nearly white hair, I just might take the plunge. Great video.
Wow wow wow... love this idea!!! I've been struggling with wig wearing in summer (despite being in Scotland) since starting wearing wigs...this look sooo much easier and more comfortable... only problem I have is my hair loss is from ear to ear like a headband.. roughly 2 or 3 inches in depth from hairline... I don't think the topper you have would suit me, but you mentioned 3/4 toppers.. I'm gonna investigate this... Thank you for this video and all the info 😘😘😘😘😘
I think this looks wonderful on you! Glad you are experimenting with toppers, you will be much cooler in the summer! I did the same thing you did, jumped into wigs and then backed into toppers after my first summer. I live in the south wear yesterday it was 80 (yes in February!), so toppers are a life saver to me. I however cannot wear synthetic toppers. I have naturally curly hair so have to straighten my hair, and in the humidity my hair would frizz but the synthetic topper didn't and it looked awful. I've found human hair toppers work much better for me, and I also prefer a silk top, as to me looks more realistic. I think in toppers there is something for everyone, much like wigs. Hope you enjoy your topper, especially this summer!
I’m so happy you cleared up the issue of the fullness at the crown with the full mono top and the sew’n in wefting. I have watched Patri’s videos as well and know that she had mentioned customizing her clients toppers to create the fullness at the crown. I didn’t really understand what she meant until today, which now explains why I have issues with my 1st ever topper which I’ve had for about a month. I’ve ordered top secret and it will be here later today and I am so excited!!!! I love TOOPERS and learned all about them On RUclips and this topper even with the more flat crown area has changed my life and my confidence, so, thank you for this and all your other videos.
Hi Crystal! Aww...I am so happy you enjoyed this! I am looking forward to learning more, and sharing with you all! Thanks so much for watching, and for taking the time to post your nice comment! Hugs~
I love your videos- your voice is soo soothing. I’m embarrassed to confess I don’t have thinning hair at all but still subscribed and watch your videos over and over because your voice is super soothing. You could be talking about under water basket weaving and I would still subscribe. Thank you for all your videos.
This was the first video I watched about toppers when it first came out. I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing. I come back to this video for inspiration. You look fantastic! My bio hair looks much like yours. I needed to see this to assure me that I can do something about it. You are so sweet and so professional. I'm so grateful for your channel 💗
Aww....you are so sweet, thank you for posting this ...it is very encouraging to read, and truly makes my day! I am so very happy you found this video helpful to you in any way. ;). Hugs to you, and have a great upcoming weekend!
Thanks for all the great info. I started purchasing toppers years ago and had very little knowledge. I spent alot of money on toppers that did not work for me.
Hi Erica! I think we all have done that. :( It is all a journey, and a learning process. (an expensive one) :/ Do you have a favorite topper? I would love to know! Thanks for watching!
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy Hello Jill. I do have a topper I wear regularly. It's the easy part XL human hair topper. I have really enjoyed it but I am so over human hair toppers/wigs. They are very natural looking but take way too much work also I find that it's not as comfortable to wear as I would like. I ordered the top notch after watching your video. Thank you again for the great info Jill.
This is great feedback, and good to know! That is exactly what I am thinking I will run into w/ the HH toppers. Thanks so much for sharing. Let me know what you think about the Top Notch!
I know what it is !!!!! Your whole demeanor changes with the topper..your joyful in a different way,there is no struggle. You seem like it's more authenticly you ,does that make sense? Some days lately after 2 years of wigs there are days I want a wig that feels more honestly like my bio hair that I have now ,super wavy,and such a pretty gray,( let me say ..its only 2_4 inches long and very thin ,so you can see scalp-Would be ever go anywhere with out wig ) loI just love the way you feel in this video,so at ease. This was my gab sesh ..lol love ya💟
Hi Gill this has been very helpful to me as I ordered my first topper from uni wigs just a few weeks ago so am still waiting on its arrival. Thank you for sharing and I’m looking forward to more topper reviews. I ordered the charleigh. But I’m looking at this one your reviewing as it looks really great on you and natural. Xx have a great day x
I love this video. I have been resistant about toppers because of price and my bio hair. I was worried they would pull but you really emphasize how comfortable they are. Thank you so much. I will explore this option. Many of my followers have recommended I try toppers. Who did I go to find out more? YOU. ♥️⚘👍
I just wanted to add that I bought this because of your video, the toughest part was choosing the color. thank you for making this because my hair is really thinning, i am thinking of going to a full wig soon.
This looks great. I wore toppers up until my cancer diagnosis. I can't wait until my treatment is over, my hair grows back and I can wear the toppers again. I'm really dreading wearing full wigs this summer.
Hi Silver Tinsel! There are some nice, lightweight wigs out there that hopefully will be a pretty comfortable option for you. Definitely pay attention to the 'ounces' that is always listed in their listings! Also, pay attention to cap construction over the length of the hair. ..Open wefts are definitely cooler than a closed cap/ and even cooler than the 100% hand-tied ones too. I have had very short closed cap wigs that were VERY warm. I hope you find a couple wigs you are comfortable in! Thanks so much for watching!
Love this one on you, Jill. I’m a topper girl... love the enchantop toppers - just bought my second one - and have my hairdresser trim it up and cut bangs into it and it really is an awesome “dip your toes in the water” transition for thinning hair. You look beautiful in all your wigs too - but I’m really liking this! Patty is such a huge resource of info! Xo
Hi Jill. I just found you a couple of hours ago. Oh my gosh, I've been researching wigs so much, I didn't even know about toppers! I am having weight loss surgery and will likely be losing a fair amount of hair. Not to mention, I'm 66 yo and already kinda thin!! This is exciting as I have bio hair. Have been wearing my hair quite short for some years. But I look forward to adding a new dimension to my research. My hair is quite silvery, probably close to "silvery moon", not to much medium gray in it at all. So am going to take a trip up to Portland to find a few wig shops. I'm so glad I found you and your channel!! Look forward to exploring it thoroughly.
Well, Hi there Patti! WELCOME to my channel! I am so happy you found me, and hope you find other videos you enjoy, and find helpful! I am loving my topper so far! I have ordered a couple others ...and, can't wait to share with you guys! Keep me updated on your journey! (the color of your hair sounds beautiful!) Thanks so much for watching, and have a lovely evening!
I am so excited for you! Please keep me updated. Remember it takes a little practice to get it right placement wise... kind of play with that, and trial and error is normal! 😉 Dont be afraid to fluff and use some synthetic friendly hairspray to style and work into your own hair. Have fun!
I really like the contrast.... we do colour treatments in the salon where the girls want dark underneath... I think it looks trendy... Toppers are the business they are great... I have thick hair but I like a topper just because it gives me more volume... And I don't have to fuss with my bio hair in the morning when I'm rushing out the door 😍❤️💞 l love listening to you... I think you give the best wig chats 💋
You did a great demo! You have a very pretty face. You certainly have educated me. I believe these toppers are wonderful for women who have thinning hair. Well Done!
I truly search for ur videos. Thank you. New to all this. My topper Top Billings lace front does not have center clip. Struggling! I don't have enough hair. I did not realize center clip available. Whether I have enough hair to attach? Few wig stores to actually try on. Ordering on line? Thank you for you being you on video, very personal.
I’m so happy to have found this video. I was actually considering this topper but dismissed it thinking I need a full wig because of not being able to use the clips. I’m losing my hairline from temple to temple. (Very scary) otherwise I have plenty of healthy hair everywhere else. I bought the JR Top Wave 12” back in January but felt that it looked too wiggy. also I was afraid of traction alopecia from the clips and I never used it, until two days ago. I was desperate as my thinning has progressed. So I put it on a little further back in order to clip into healthy hair and I did not use the front center clip. It felt very secure and was virtually unnoticeable but again too wiggy. So I clipped it half up half down and also clipped up into a messy doo. I wore it to church and felt perfectly normal. A salesperson at my local wig store told me just last week that an option would be to move the clips to a safer place and use glue at the front hairline. So now I’m rethinking toppers and this one in particular thanks to you. My question is this. You say in this video that there is a topper for everyone . Given my details, do you think I can work with this topper? If not, why, and is there another piece that might work better? Also, would I be able to cut the bangs to a full fringe if I decided I wanted to do so? Thank you so very much, I for one value your efforts in doing these reviews as you come across as honest, sincere, and trustworthy and just oh so natural :)
Thanks for your video. I have been wearing wigs for a few years, first because I just didn't want to deal with spending so much time on my hair, only to have to muck up if the weather was not favorable. Now, I have started loosing my hair (along with 70% of the female population), and as much as I don't particularly like it, I am not stressed about it b/c I have hair options (wigs). However, recently I discovered toppers. I really like them and just ordered by fourth one. I think you look great with your topper btw and that color is so you...not that other colors would not look gorgeous on you.
I also want to let gals know that Raquel Welsh top billing is a lace front topper. So the front blending into my bangs is so easy and I'm also able to do it with no bangs moving the lace front forward. With that one you don't have to worry about blending the edge of topper it you scalp as much.
I have not found a wig I am totally comfortable wearing I tried some cheaper toppers prior to my wig wearing. They did not look natural at all. But now, Im checking in to toppers again. 😊. I love watching your videos. I just watched the RW Top Billing one last night. You are inspiring me! You are really a beautiful lady! Inside and out from what I sense from your videos. So you prefer non lace front toppers? What do you recommend?
easilly some if the best videos explaining wigs and toppers for us ladys with hair loss , im kinda less worried about my hair being half gone now as i see it can be made pretty with a little help , thanks hun xx
This looks great! Do you know if these come in silver? I would love this. Full wigs get on my nerves and make my head itch and hurt. Maybe this is a solution for me.
I'm trying toppers b/c medical issues is making my hair fall out . waaaaaaaa. May I politely point out youmay want to try shampooing w/o parabens or sulfates. Then rinse your hair with cold rice water. (I just make my own with rice & water but put in spray bottle & keep in fridge) I use conditioner b/c my hair is fine and tangles easy. The rice water acts as a detangler as well. But once you blow dry it makes your hair poofy. Don't ask me how or why but I think u will like it! I got this topper as my 1st but the 12FS12. (I also got the easipart HD Xl in same color but there must have been a quality control issue b/c the color was not only much darker but almost more ashy. I returned. I HAD to keep this one b/c when I just put on to see how it worked with my color, the net got caught in my glasses! I had to shake the topper a hundred ways to get it off. So I figured they would think I wore it so here I am. Yours looks lighter and thicker. I love your honesty about how the wigs feel and what works for you. OMG u have a video w glasses as I wear them too.! Thank you for your instructions. VERY helpful!! p.s. Do you have a whole wig closet like some of the others here? I can't afford all of them!
This has been a fabulous video I really appreciate this because I have the same hair loss as you Been wearing wigs and I live in the south Wigs in the hot humid weather are so uncomfortable Also I have a petite average so I fight with wigs sometimes but I Found this one in a color that matches my bio hair on sale and wasn't sure until I watched this video so I just ordered it and I am excited Thank you so much for your help
I’m wondering If my bio hair is longer then the topper but is a close match can I leave my hair a little longer and incorporate it? I love this look but I’m having trouble finding this style but in a 14 inch. I saw a belle tress one but not liking lace fronts. Thank you for sharing your hair journey with us. :)
I understand what you’re going through. I am loosing my hair and it’s so sad because my FAVORITE part about me has always been my thick pretty hair. No longer because it’s f ailing me. I have a topper and I think it’s ok but I’m still looking for better. Thank you for your video
So I found this video just a couple of weeks ago in my never-ending search for hair and wig solutions. And based on this video alone I bought the Top Notch in Shaded Praline. I almost don't know what to say. It's been a revelation. I was lucky enough to get it delivered just before we went into the horrible Coronavirus lockdown here in the UK, so I've been able to 'practice' wearing it in the safety of my own home. I followed your tutorials on how to apply and disguise the topper (and bought some fill-in powder). I really have almost exactly the same hair as you and the same problems as you. Wigs lying weirdly over my ears, wigs being hot and uncomfortable, wigs not staying put and slipping backwards. Wigs just not looking real. I've tried extensions but like you say, my hair on top 'looked like crud' lol. I have such fine hair on top, at my hairline and the crown (PCOS of course) but it's quite 'normal' around the nape and sides. I also love wearing sunglasses in the summer and yes, you can't wear them with wigs! It's a nightmare! So here I am ... waiting for the moment I'll be able to go back to work with this topper on. I feel that since no-one will have seen me for ages I won't be suddenly appearing with this amazing hair. I know people often see what they expect to see. I've cut my biohair to match the topper and OMG you really just can't see it. My husband loves it. When I go to put my topper on he calls it 'doing your hair'. He forgets I'm wearing it - and what's even more amazing - I forget I'm wearing it! I don't get headachy and my scalp isn't itchy. I could go on and on and on but honestly for the first time in years I look in the mirror and I look like me. And I look about 10 years younger, lol. I have dyed my hair to a medium brown to match the roots of the topper. Originally I thought I'd have to get some blonde highlights but looking at the topper on me, and looking at you I realise that's not the case and I can give my hair a break from the bleach. So very, very, very happy. Thankyou so much for helping me get on this journey. I can't wait to get another topper!!! xxxx
I just got the exact topper this weekend but it has a horrible chemical smell. I was so disappointed because I have asthma and couldn’t keep it. 😢. Glad it worked for you.
Hi Jill I noticed this video is three years old. Which topper do you personally like best since you started wearing those. I enjoy your videos so much, very instructive and inspirational. Blessings
I have gone to a custom topper now I must have bangs as the hair loss is in the very front. It is European virgin hair so beautiful My topper is 15" and I can pull it back in a pony tail also it can be braided . I love it and much cooler in our very hot humid summers.
Jill is s so pretty... I so admire women who are comfortable in their own skin... Another example is Patty's pearls. You ladies knock it out of the park ... What an inspiration. As for me ... My hair is basically nothing... And honey , I'd rather be shot ,, than show myself with no wig at all... I wish I could be brave like y'all!!! Love you Jill
Too much talking especially at beginning and yet despite all the talking you ddidnt mention that this video was for this topper only. waste of time. Will have to search for the one I want. You could provide links to other toppers. bad video
Thank you for this video! I know we just met, but I love you! lol Kidding. But seriously, I've been so sad about my hair loss and so scared to buy a topper and this video made me feel so much better! xxx
Christy Hopson which did you choose & did you go with a Jon Renau?? I don’t even know where to start when it comes to ordering the right one or from who ??? Please share !!
I can't believe I didn't know about toppers. I am over 50 and have been plaqued with thinning hair at the front of my hair. It does affect my self esteem. I am now going to start my investigative journey. Thanks!
I didn't know either...until I looked into wigs. Took me this long to try one! LOVE it so far!! Good luck on your new topper journey, Carrie....keep me posted!
Hi Jill, I ordered this topper, and it will arrive today! I'm so nervous/excited/scared! You say this is 12 inches, but I have only been able to find this particular one in 8-10 inches. My bio hair is pretty similar to yours in length, in this video. I really hope this works for me. I've been binge watching your videos for help, and bought this based on your video review here. :) Happy good hair day!
Hello, Jill. I'm new to wigs (and still trying to adjust to the fact that my hair is leaving me and will probably never come back...:-(...) so this video was very helpful for me. My bio hair looks very much like yours as far as texture goes. My one concern is that the topper clips might, eventually, start to pull out my bio hair where the clips are. You look lovely in this topper and I thank you so much for sharing this with us. I look forward to your review of how the topper affects your bio after repeated use. Thank you. Rhonda
Hi Rhonda! I do straighten my hair before I put the topper on, and I use a smoothing spray as well or/ other like product. My fine hair can get that cotton candy frizz thang. I will be talking about the clip thing in a new video...how important it is to make sure they are comfortable, and secured into strong hair. I will be keeping everyone updated on continued comfort and how the clips are effecting my own hair and scalp for that matter. ;) Thanks for watching! hugs~
rhondalyn100 I notice a little thinning where clips are but have been wearing toppers for 2 yrs, very happy and trying not to be concerned if I lose a little hair from clips as I will never go back to just bio hair , ever! So happy to have hair that looks nice!
You are further ahead of the game than I am, Jane....I'm still mourning about my thin, shedding hair. I've been on a wig buying frenzy but have yet to have the confidence to wear one away from my home. I think the topper looks like a great idea. What brand do you use? I'd love to try the JR than Jill has but it's too expensive for me at this point. I've purchased 16 wigs in the last three weeks!!! It's already an addiction I have to stop!!
rhondalyn100 I know, wig buying is expensive when you 1st start. I have a Box full of about 18 wigs I do not wear. Then you get the hang of what you like and get used to the colors, and also get used to wearing it, and not being in secure. Well kind of not being in secure. I am a Nurse,I work in really bright lights, I have learned how to trim mine up and thin them out, I have never been asked, Other than by a couple of girls that asked if I had some extensions. When they ask me I just say yes , I let them believe I have a couple of extensions. Kind of the same thing. I don't think I need to go into further detail. I actually think it's kind of rude when they ask. My own kids do not know that I wear toppers that's how well they blend. Call and ask for help When you want to order something. I use Cryster wigs they are excellent helping you with color,cost, and style. And they always have coupons! I wear top notch by J.R. And always wait to get them until they have 30% off, than I Get my extra so when I wear this one out I have it. I have also worn JR, Top secret, I think it is called. It is only about a $123. In fact I just ordered one when they had a sale. It's a lot thinner in hair, but it's plenty for me. It is so nice to not have to worry about my hair in the mornings! I have to be at work between 615 and 630 so I don't have time to fret over it. And it never looked good 30 minutes after I worked on it anyways! I have gone through menopause in my hair is baby fine, worse than it ever was before! Hope this helps you, ask me any questions any time I can be of help.
Jill, you melt my heart and make me tear up when you say, be nice. You are such a sweetie that I cannot imagine anyone NOT being nice to you. I always feel that the only reason you do videos is to help those of us who need help so much. Being a retired teacher, I am so impressed by someone like you who is able to give such excellent directions. You know there are a lot of us who are in the same boat as you. We are thankful for helping us to look in the mirror and feel pretty again. I’m also hyper sensitive. Geez I thought it was just me who suffers with that. Thank you, sweet lady.
Yours is the first comment I read this morning....and what a kind, sweet one to read. You made my whole day...truly. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch AND to write, and post this. I hope you have a lovely day!
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy hi .I'm janine ,,soon to be 69 .I have studied my health hair for more than 40 plus years ..so let's me just get to it .hold on I'm watching u .be right back

One of the best videos on toppers that I’ve seen - and I learned quite a bit!! Thank you so much! 😊😊😊
Great video just love this hair topper thank you!!!
I have so much respect for you. When you choked and said be nice I could hardly hold back the tears. I don't think I could ever be as brave as you wonderful women who post videos for women like us. So a huge thank you ❤️
I'm so proud of you, I have never seen you without a wig on. Very brave to let us see your bio hair, and its so helpful to others who have hair loss to see the difference. Love it!
Aww...thank you, Michele! You are so kind... :)
Oh girl you got me when you got teary. I feel it too. This topper thing is so exciting! I never found a wig I felt comfortable in, aesthetically or comfort wise. Now I am gonna look into toppers. Thank you so much.
Awww you were almost crying when you took your topper off. You're beautiful with or without. I'm in the same boat with you and understand how you feel.
Thank you Jill, I found this very helpful and love it that you admit to being hypersensitive, I am exactly the same and it's nice to hear that someone feels the way you do. I have been considering a topper for a long time, just need to take the plunge. Thanks for this!
I am so happy you enjoyed this one, and found it helpful! Yes...I have been since I can remember both w/ how things feel on my skin and noises...really, all the senses! I had no idea HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) was a thing until well into my 40's. It all made sense!! Let me know how it goes if you do decide to take the plunge...and remember those clips do NOT need to be so tight that they cause discomfort! ;)
I know this video isn't new, but the idea of toppers is new to ME. I've thinned SOOO much in the past few months & am starting to research options. My sincere THANKS to you for all you share and for your warmth, honesty & encouragement!!! I have no females to talk to about this.
Your on camera energy is SO nice! A total pleasure to watch!
Beautiful girl. Don't cry, you are lovely. Don't worry I've had the same dam thin, fine hair all my life. Now I'm watching you teaching me all the tips and tricks to give my baby fine hair a rest and have a play with grey toppers. (Yes I'm old but I still care about how I look.) You look amazing with that gorgeous topper.
Thank you for sharing. I purchased my first topper last year and I am absolutely in love with it. It is not this one that you are showing but was looking for another topper. I will be purchasing this one. So glad I found your channel. :)
Thank you so much for this video! My mom struggles with thin hair and has just ordered this topper thanks to your review and recommendation! 💕💕
Can you believe I have only just learned about hair toppers. I thank you so much for doing these videos. Not only have I been losing my hair for many years now but I have quite a small head (I am only 5' tall, so I am in proportion), but it does present problems for me with wigs. I am going to get myself a topper and see how I go. I love your videos and I too am very sensitive and I applaud you for taking off your topper as you did. You are sweet and brave and give me so much hope.
That looks gorgeous. I'm very impressed. I love that color too.
Thank you so much for this video. I recently started wearing extensions but my crown is thin and I’ve been looking at toppers. Perfect timing.
Thanks Jill for all the great information. I just purchased my first wig and am waiting for it to be delivered. Toppers would be a great idea if I find my wigs to be uncomfortable, like you did, in the summer months. Looking forward for more of your videos.
Congrats on your first wig! EEEK! So exciting! I have a series called: New To Wigs? If you search for it in the search bar on my home page they will pop up! I think you will find some helpful! You may want to watch this one first since your first wig is on its way! ruclips.net/video/95W_zQVYbWo/видео.html
Thank you, Jill! Can’t wait to watch more videos on your topper journey. I find them so much more comfortable then a full wig, but I’ve had a hard time finding what I need. Most toppers are so long and at my age I am way beyond that!
Hi Kay! Thank you... ;) I do see what you mean about many more longer options w/ the hair pieces. BUT, don't forget...they can always be customized. You can trim them to a length that works for you! Check into salons that may be willing to do that for you. I have yet to invest in a human hair topper, but I would think they would be easier to cut and customize vs. a synthetic. (I could be wrong). Thanks for watching!
Kay Fran you can always have it cut to your length
I love, love , love this video 😍 thank you so much Jill. I have ordered my top notch all the way from the USA in shaded mocha and it’s arriving tomorrow - I am so excited I can’t tell you 🙌🏻
Susan Costigane how’d you like it?? Please share !!
Hi Jill...*warm smile....Gosh what can I say, that anyone else hasn't said yet, to let you know how thoroughly I have enjoyed your videos. I have spent the morning watching them...and learning! You are so down to earth and honest about your feelings, which is so endearing. You make this process feel so easy and less intimidating. I feel as though I am speaking with an old friend. Thank you for all your great tips and for sharing your experience! I too am new to toppers and a lover of 12Fs8...*smile. Experimenting has been both fun and frustrating at times. I find that it is a bit harder to find the right piece if one's hairline is not as far back as some of the other videos I have seen. Now that I know your "tip", to move the topper back a bit, I think my dilemma has been solved! I look forward to watching more of your videos. Till next time....Be Bold...Be Brave...Be Blessed!
LadyAvalon9 you are very sweet... thank you for watching and posting this kind comment. ❤️
Hi Jill, thank you for all your videos! You look great with/with out hair❤️ You are such a beautiful soul. I’m 49 and shedding hair as a dog, health issues. I feel like you in this video.
Jill, I progressed from toppers to wigs. After time I became very sensitive to the metal clips. I then used tape & different adhesives to keep the toppers on.
I just jumped into your topper pond after watching your video. I have a larger head, where hats never fit my head, so finding a large size wig is an issue. I returned my first ever wig mostly because the color was not suited to my skin tone plus it was still snug (probably needed the adjustment straps cut which I didn't want to do on that particular wig which I planned on returning). This left me disappointed in large size fit wig. Your video showed me I have choices other than a wig. Since I had a credit on the returned wig, I ordered a mono medium rooted topper! I'm hoping this is going to work well! I love watching your videos, I'm learning so much! Thank you. Jill!
Thank you Jill. I’ve been watching as many of your videos as I can. I haven’t purchased any yet but definitely need to. My bio hair is thinner than yours. I haven’t found the best site to buy a topper or wig. Thank you again for sharing!
I would have never known this wasn't your real hair!! I love that it's not so perfect but still so pretty!! I am SO tempted to purchase this...I even think your color might suit me. I'm going to look into it a bit more...I would love to take away some of the stress of "doing" my hair and being assured that it always looks nice!
Jill you absolutely rock in this topper. Just perfect on you, but then you look fantastic with anything you plop on your head. You really have the face and features to pull these off effortlessly. I've been wearing a topper for a year now. Used to wear extensions constantly but lost a lot of hair on the top if my head and had to switch to a topper. Thank god for them. Really a lifesaver and a life changer as well. I wear wigs as well and like that I'm able to change them off. Please continue what you're doing. I really enjoy your channel.
Thank you, Susan! I am a little in love with this here topper! LOL YES...I will always love my wigs, but I love this for another option...especially for SUMMER!! I am so happy you enjoy my channel, and appreciate you watching! Have a great day!
Wow ....Jill ...you look absolutely amazing ...yes ...spot on ...we just deal with the hand we are dealt with. You are such a positive lovely person. Thank you for that review . Thanks to you ...I've got my life back . Thanks.
Hi Maxine! Aww...you absolutely made my day! You are very sweet, and kind to post this...I appreciate you for watching, and beyond thrilled that my videos helped you in ANY way. Very encouraging to know...thank you!
What a great video, how I wish I had hair..not gonna lie ...i too got a little teary eyed as you talked,you look so great with a topper , why ever go back to wigs!, so enjoyed the amazing information.. Thanks Jill and I am so happy for you.
Aww...you are sweet. :) I love my wigs...they aren't going anywhere! ;) BUT...love toppers for warmer days for sure! I'll keep you all posted on it, and all I am learning. ;) Thank you, Terri...have a wonderful day!
I just ordered this in the same color as yours. It takes so long these days to curl my hair before I go out so now I'm going to just throw this on. No more rollers and fiddling around with the curling iron and root lifting spray. I'm getting too old. This will cut 2 hours off my ''getting ready to go out" time. I also ordered "Top Wave" in a 12-inch topper for when I DO want a bit of fullness. I'll have to place them one inch back to accommodate my bangs so I'm hoping the "bump at the back of the topper" will sit in the right place. Thanks for making these videos. They have made my selection so much easier.
Hi Jill, I wear my topper in to my hairdresser and have my hair layered with my own hair with some color that matches the topper. My guy was really good at matching not only the color but the amount of blonde inserted so it looks so natural. And I don't have to go to get it redone maybe 2 a year. My natural hair color and thinness is about the same as yours. So I related very much. Love your videos.
Hi Liz! I would LOVE to find someone that really knew their stuff w/ color. That is my eventual plan! Thanks so much for watching today!
Jill, you look awesome with that topper on! This info has been so helpful to me! Thank you! Hugs!
Hi Jill, top notch is backordered. I am dying to try it too. I prepaid , which might have been dumb. Hope it arrives soon.
About two years ago I purchased a very expensive human hair topper from a salon that came highly recommended, as they only deal with faux hair clientele. I was never comfortable with it; only wore it once to a wedding, and other than that, I have only worn it one additional time when I went back to have it trimmed and styled, but again, I took it off as soon as I got home. I have always worn my hair off my face, (ponytails, buns, headbands) and even though my hair loss is in the crown area, I still like it back. When wearing the topper I feel like I have an ol’ rubber bathmat laying on my head. Of course the few people that have seen me in it don’t agree, but I just can’t stand it, and I’m not “visually” comfortable wearing it. Too much hanging hair... too much of a change that would draw attention to it...maybe it’s just me!
I also feel it’s too dense, and because of that I recently purchased on my own a less dense topper... it arrived yesterday and I feel that is too sparse. Maybe it IS me! Now yours looks perfect to me... but I think you’ve developed a confidence since wearing wigs and you’ve figured out how to work with them. As I type this, it’s reached the part of your video where you’re getting emotional and what you’re saying is exactly how I feel... I just need to find the right product and be confident like you.
Hi Vicki! I think toppers are like wigs when it comes to how our 'eye' has to get use to seeing ourselves with a full head of hair! I do ALSO think that finding a good brand (in both) will increase your chances of having a successful experience. I knew I loved Jon Renau wigs...(my favorite) so, I went with a topper by Jon Renau for my first 'try'. Neither wigs or toppers are going to be perfect....but, you will eventually hit on one that you feel pretty great in, and you can work with it to really make it feel more like you. Have you tried putting a cute headband in your hair when you have toppers on? Do what you would do if you weren't wearing it! ;) Yes, confidence is key...and really it's the ONLY thing needed to pull off wigs/hair pieces of any sort. Truly...if you aren't convinced ...nobody else will be either.
Do you think a Jon Renau synthetic topper is a good starting point? I am hesitant to spend so much money until I see if it works for me. I am guessing you can't return them anywhere if you don't like them? @@JillLynnBeautyTherapy
Wow i could have wrote this myself! You sound _exactly_ like me same problems, same wants, same needs! I too have always worn my hair off my face I hate hair in my face or eyes it's in a ponytail or bun *always* and that's the only reason I haven't took the jump and purchased a topper (or wig) yet I haven't came across any that can truly be worn up securely off the face in a high ponytail ...honestly thinking they don't exist at this point
* sigh *
Jill, you can't imagine how much your videos have helped me. I've just gotten my first topper yesterday and, although it is custom made an freaking perfect, I haven't been able to venture out of the house in it yet. I'll try and work my confidence with it in the coming weekend. I'm equally happy and terrified. You, though, are terrific,
Hi Andrea! You have to feel secure in it before venture out.. CONFIDENCE is key with these things! If you aren't feeling it, nobody else will either. Just remember...I guarantee nobody will ever think it's not your own hair. People just aren't even thinking that....let alone 'looking' for it. ;) YOU GOT THIS! With me...honestly, my confidence wavers...some days I feel fabulous in my faux hair, and other days it's not working for me for some reason?... That's totally normal. Don't beat yourself up if you have a day like that even after you have been wearing wigs/toppers for a long time! At least...that's how it is with me. ;) HAVE fun!
Andrea PGN how’d things go ?? I’d love to hear how you felt once you ventured out and about ???
You are beautiful! I ordered this today even before I saw your video, now I am so excited
This is the second video I have watched on toppers. The first one was 15 minutes ago from Allison‘s journey. She’s great and because of her I went on to look at more. Watching your thorough video I’m convinced that this is where I want to go. I have about 14 wigs but they were too hot for summer. Thank you for sharing. You have helped me begin my journey.
Jill, you do such a fabulous jog explaining EVERYTHING! I really like the different tones in your hair / topper - very natural! I do think I would want to cut the RED tags out! haha
Thank you, Julie! ;) YES...I will be mentioning that! Hahaha! (red tags) I have done that...forgot to tuck them in. (thank the lord baby Jesus it was not out in the real world) LOL Thanks for watching! ;)
I just bought this topper. Thank you for your videos.
They're so informative. 🥰
Jill, thank you so much for all the info. I too are thinning on the front and crown. I'm looking into toppers, because I feel that even though wigs are beautiful because of my hot flashes I will get so hot, so I want to try a topper first. I'll enter the world of wigs after my hot flashes are gone. Thanks again, so informative.
Great review Jill! I sent it to a friend who is just starting hair loss. Thanks for all your reviews.
Aww...you are very sweet! Thank you so much for sharing with your friend....I hope she finds it helpful. I appreciate you watching and your very kind post. ;)
great video..I love my topper. it really is so easy to do quickly everyday. the Milan is a topper that is almost a wig. I would like to see you in that one. you continue to us ideas and confidence and help us to stay beautiful..much appreciated!
Aww...what a sweet comment that I have no idea why I missed!! Thank you so much, Gayle! I have been tempted by Milan! It may be my next purchase down the road!
Hi Jill and greetings from the U.K.
I have only recently found your site on RUclips and I wanted to thank you for the great content and truly helpful advice.
I have been researching toppers recently after purchasing 3 full wigs from Jon Renau, all Shaded Praline...yes I think I share your addiction to this colour 🙂
I have almost identical hair as yourself in colour, length and stage of loss and so was fascinated to learn from your invaluable experience with your first
topper.
I am excitedly awaiting my Top Notch delivery later this week and in the meantime I’m going to experiment with your Morphe palette eyeshadow tutorials.
Keep up the good work for us mature ladies!

Hi dee, I'm also in the UK, may I ask you where you purchased your Jon Renau pieces from? If they were from the states what was the custom duty like? All of the good wig makers and websites are in the states but I'm too scared to buy from them because of the return process it sounds like an expensive nightmare If you need to return for whatever reason! And not knowing how much you're going to pay in customs is a bit off putting too
Oh why didn't I see this first, just ordered my first wig and I just know it's going to look ridiculous on me because although I'm not thinning, I have very fine hair. This looks exactly what I'm looking for, not too thin, not too heavy. Thank you for this video and your bravery for revealing your emotions, it really helps. For the record, you look terrific and it looks much better than the wigs, so natural and your happiness exudes, happy for you x
Thank you! I finally understand toppers now. Looks fab on you!
Thank you, Sandy! I am happy you found this helpful! I am learning all the time, and still have tons to share! Thanks for watching!
Your. GREAT‼️‼️ I’ve purchased a topper with very narrow strip not really a cap. Measures 3 in wide on top tapers down a bit and 5 in long I wear my hair back in kinda of French twist. Well I’m ready for more hair but I digress my question is do you prefer mono cap with or. Without lace front .? And why ? You’ve made this experience less scary. You have no idea how that feels. WELL MAYBE YOU DO ‼️‼️ that’s why your so good at what you do. THANKS. BUNCHES 😘
This is a great video, Jill! Like you, I feel everything, and I’ve not been able to find a wig that doesn’t make me cry by the end of the day. I don’t have a wig friendly head. I’ll be buying a topper VERY soon. You made me laugh out loud when you said we hope the nose is in the center of our face.... and the dirty glasses comment. Seriously Jill, you’re a gem!
Live and Let Di What a wonderful comment to take the time to write and post... Thank you! You made my day AND...today’s my birthday! Haha!
I just bought a topper, a Jon Renau. I returned it the next day after watching your video. It was too long and wavy. I love how this topper works for you. Our bio hair is very similar. Mine is a little longer and a little blonder. I am waiting for UPS to deliver this topper as I'm writing this. I am needing to know what dry shampoo you used. I have some for blonde hair (I hate...Too yellow). I'd like to use it on the new topper as you did. Thanks for this great video!!
Toppers rock! Love them, so comfortable! Thanks for all the tips!
Hi Jill, I have watched quite a few of your videos, and started wearing full wigs in October, because my hair id thinner than yours is in this video. I was going to buy a Noriko wig that you reviewed but I want to feel my hair move and topper seems to be the answer. Thank you for such an informative video. You are amazing.
Your enthusiasm is definitely catching! I'm going to check out your links and if I can decide on a color for my nearly white hair, I just might take the plunge. Great video.
Ha! Thank you! Keep me updated! ;)
Wow wow wow... love this idea!!! I've been struggling with wig wearing in summer (despite being in Scotland) since starting wearing wigs...this look sooo much easier and more comfortable... only problem I have is my hair loss is from ear to ear like a headband.. roughly 2 or 3 inches in depth from hairline... I don't think the topper you have would suit me, but you mentioned 3/4 toppers.. I'm gonna investigate this... Thank you for this video and all the info 😘😘😘😘😘
Keep me updated, Carol!
We have the same hair. You give me such HOPE! Still doing my research, but so excited!! Thank you! 😘😘
I think this looks wonderful on you! Glad you are experimenting with toppers, you will be much cooler in the summer! I did the same thing you did, jumped into wigs and then backed into toppers after my first summer. I live in the south wear yesterday it was 80 (yes in February!), so toppers are a life saver to me. I however cannot wear synthetic toppers. I have naturally curly hair so have to straighten my hair, and in the humidity my hair would frizz but the synthetic topper didn't and it looked awful. I've found human hair toppers work much better for me, and I also prefer a silk top, as to me looks more realistic. I think in toppers there is something for everyone, much like wigs. Hope you enjoy your topper, especially this summer!
THanks for sharing, Lisa! I am learning so much, and looking forward to trying the HH ones eventually!! Thank you for watching!
I’m so happy you cleared up the issue of the fullness at the crown with the full mono top and the sew’n in wefting. I have watched Patri’s videos as well and know that she had mentioned customizing her clients toppers to create the fullness at the crown. I didn’t really understand what she meant until today, which now explains why I have issues with my 1st ever topper which I’ve had for about a month. I’ve ordered top secret and it will be here later today and I am so excited!!!! I love TOOPERS and learned all about them On RUclips and this topper even with the more flat crown area has changed my life and my confidence, so, thank you for this and all your other videos.
Hi Crystal! Aww...I am so happy you enjoyed this! I am looking forward to learning more, and sharing with you all! Thanks so much for watching, and for taking the time to post your nice comment! Hugs~
I love your videos- your voice is soo soothing. I’m embarrassed to confess I don’t have thinning hair at all but still subscribed and watch your videos over and over because your voice is super soothing. You could be talking about under water basket weaving and I would still subscribe. Thank you for all your videos.
That is such a nice compliment...thank you!
You are a fabulous instructor. Thank you for your help.
This was the first video I watched about toppers when it first came out. I just wanted to thank you so much for sharing. I come back to this video for inspiration. You look fantastic! My bio hair looks much like yours. I needed to see this to assure me that I can do something about it. You are so sweet and so professional. I'm so grateful for your channel 💗
Aww....you are so sweet, thank you for posting this ...it is very encouraging to read, and truly makes my day! I am so very happy you found this video helpful to you in any way. ;). Hugs to you, and have a great upcoming weekend!
You are great in explaining about hair. I have learned so much from you!
Linda Jansen aww...you are kind. Thank you, Linda!
Thanks for all the great info. I started purchasing toppers years ago and had very little knowledge. I spent alot of money on toppers that did not work for me.
Hi Erica! I think we all have done that. :( It is all a journey, and a learning process. (an expensive one) :/ Do you have a favorite topper? I would love to know! Thanks for watching!
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy Hello Jill. I do have a topper I wear regularly. It's the easy part XL human hair topper. I have really enjoyed it but I am so over human hair toppers/wigs. They are very natural looking but take way too much work also I find that it's not as comfortable to wear as I would like. I ordered the top notch after watching your video. Thank you again for the great info Jill.
This is great feedback, and good to know! That is exactly what I am thinking I will run into w/ the HH toppers.
Thanks so much for sharing. Let me know what you think about the Top Notch!
Jill Lynn Beauty Therapy I will definitely update you .
This is very flattering on you. Nice job on the review and instructions.
Thank you, Tammy! I appreciate you watching! ;)
I know what it is !!!!! Your whole demeanor changes with the topper..your joyful in a different way,there is no struggle. You seem like it's more authenticly you ,does that make sense? Some days lately after 2 years of wigs there are days I want a wig that feels more honestly like my bio hair that I have now ,super wavy,and such a pretty gray,( let me say ..its only 2_4 inches long and very thin ,so you can see scalp-Would be ever go anywhere with out wig ) loI just love the way you feel in this video,so at ease.
This was my gab sesh ..lol love ya💟
Hi Gill this has been very helpful to me as I ordered my first topper from uni wigs just a few weeks ago so am still waiting on its arrival. Thank you for sharing and I’m looking forward to more topper reviews. I ordered the charleigh. But I’m looking at this one your reviewing as it looks really great on you and natural. Xx have a great day x
Keep us posted! THanks so much for watching, and you have a great day too!
Thank you so much for this video, and for showing your real hair. I think you look beautiful either way - you are so pretty.
I love this video. I have been resistant about toppers because of price and my bio hair. I was worried they would pull but you really emphasize how comfortable they are. Thank you so much. I will explore this option. Many of my followers have recommended I try toppers. Who did I go to find out more? YOU. ♥️⚘👍
I just wanted to add that I bought this because of your video, the toughest part was choosing the color. thank you for making this because my hair is really thinning, i am thinking of going to a full wig soon.
This looks great. I wore toppers up until my cancer diagnosis. I can't wait until my treatment is over, my hair grows back and I can wear the toppers again. I'm really dreading wearing full wigs this summer.
Hi Silver Tinsel! There are some nice, lightweight wigs out there that hopefully will be a pretty comfortable option for you. Definitely pay attention to the 'ounces' that is always listed in their listings! Also, pay attention to cap construction over the length of the hair. ..Open wefts are definitely cooler than a closed cap/ and even cooler than the 100% hand-tied ones too. I have had very short closed cap wigs that were VERY warm. I hope you find a couple wigs you are comfortable in! Thanks so much for watching!
You're adorable and your tips are so very helpful. I love your glasses, too!
Thankyou so much losing my hair has caused me so much anxiety 😔
Love this one on you, Jill. I’m a topper girl... love the enchantop toppers - just bought my second one - and have my hairdresser trim it up and cut bangs into it and it really is an awesome “dip your toes in the water” transition for thinning hair. You look beautiful in all your wigs too - but I’m really liking this! Patty is such a huge resource of info! Xo
Thank you, Maria! I will look into those toppers! Thanks for sharing, and I appreciate you tuning in....hope you have a great Sunday! ;)
Hi Jill. I just found you a couple of hours ago. Oh my gosh, I've been researching wigs so much, I didn't even know about toppers! I am having weight loss surgery and will likely be losing a fair amount of hair. Not to mention, I'm 66 yo and already kinda thin!! This is exciting as I have bio hair. Have been wearing my hair quite short for some years. But I look forward to adding a new dimension to my research. My hair is quite silvery, probably close to "silvery moon", not to much medium gray in it at all. So am going to take a trip up to Portland to find a few wig shops. I'm so glad I found you and your channel!! Look forward to exploring it thoroughly.
Well, Hi there Patti! WELCOME to my channel! I am so happy you found me, and hope you find other videos you enjoy, and find helpful! I am loving my topper so far! I have ordered a couple others ...and, can't wait to share with you guys! Keep me updated on your journey! (the color of your hair sounds beautiful!) Thanks so much for watching, and have a lovely evening!
You my dear are fabulous! Thank you for sharing your experience and recommendations. I truly appreciate it! This topper looks great on you! 😍😎😊
Aww...I appreciate YOU for watching, and supporting my channel. Thank you....I am loving my topper!!
I made my decision today getting this Top notch hair topper after viewing your video. Thank you, Jill.
I am so excited for you! Please keep me updated. Remember it takes a little practice to get it right placement wise... kind of play with that, and trial and error is normal! 😉 Dont be afraid to fluff and use some synthetic friendly hairspray to style and work into your own hair. Have fun!
I really like the contrast.... we do colour treatments in the salon where the girls want dark underneath... I think it looks trendy... Toppers are the business they are great... I have thick hair but I like a topper just because it gives me more volume... And I don't have to fuss with my bio hair in the morning when I'm rushing out the door 😍❤️💞 l love listening to you... I think you give the best wig chats 💋
Hello Jill…thank you for all your effort. My first topper coming shortly. Should I be afraid of synthetic? Cons?
You did a great demo! You have a very pretty face. You certainly have educated me. I believe these toppers are wonderful for women who have thinning hair. Well Done!
Wow that looks great on you! And by the way, you look pretty with just your natural hair too.
I truly search for ur videos. Thank you. New to all this. My topper Top Billings lace front does not have center clip. Struggling! I don't have enough hair. I did not realize center clip available. Whether I have enough hair to attach? Few wig stores to actually try on. Ordering on line? Thank you for you being you on video, very personal.
I’m so happy to have found this video. I was actually considering this topper but dismissed it thinking I need a full wig because of not being able to use the clips. I’m losing my hairline from temple to temple. (Very scary) otherwise I have plenty of healthy hair everywhere else. I bought the JR Top Wave 12” back in January but felt that it looked too wiggy. also I was afraid of traction alopecia from the clips and I never used it, until two days ago. I was desperate as my thinning has progressed. So I put it on a little further back in order to clip into healthy hair and I did not use the front center clip. It felt very secure and was virtually unnoticeable but again too wiggy. So I clipped it half up half down and also clipped up into a messy doo. I wore it to church and felt perfectly normal. A salesperson at my local wig store told me just last week that an option would be to move the clips to a safer place and use glue at the front hairline. So now I’m rethinking toppers and this one in particular thanks to you. My question is this. You say in this video that there is a topper for everyone . Given my details, do you think I can work with this topper? If not, why, and is there another piece that might work better? Also, would I be able to cut the bangs to a full fringe if I decided I wanted to do so?
Thank you so very much, I for one value your efforts in doing these reviews as you come across as honest, sincere, and trustworthy and just oh so natural :)
Wow, I'm so surprised! I've never even thought of a cap! Love ya, xoxo
Thanks for your video. I have been wearing wigs for a few years, first because I just didn't want to deal with spending so much time on my hair, only to have to muck up if the weather was not favorable. Now, I have started loosing my hair (along with 70% of the female population), and as much as I don't particularly like it, I am not stressed about it b/c I have hair options (wigs). However, recently I discovered toppers. I really like them and just ordered by fourth one. I think you look great with your topper btw and that color is so you...not that other colors would not look gorgeous on you.
I also want to let gals know that Raquel Welsh top billing is a lace front topper. So the front blending into my bangs is so easy and I'm also able to do it with no bangs moving the lace front forward. With that one you don't have to worry about blending the edge of topper it you scalp as much.
I am SOOO putting that one on my wish list! THanks for sharing!!
I have not found a wig I am totally comfortable wearing I tried some cheaper toppers prior to my wig wearing. They did not look natural at all. But now, Im checking in to toppers again. 😊. I love watching your videos. I just watched the RW Top Billing one last night. You are inspiring me! You are really a beautiful lady! Inside and out from what I sense from your videos. So you prefer non lace front toppers? What do you recommend?
easilly some if the best videos explaining wigs and toppers for us ladys with hair loss , im kinda less worried
about my hair being half gone now as i see it can be made pretty with a little help , thanks hun xx
Love your videos!!! thanks for all the info Jill
This looks great! Do you know if these come in silver? I would love this. Full wigs get on my nerves and make my head itch and hurt. Maybe this is a solution for me.
Jill...you are gorgeous and so elegant. Thanks for the fabulous info...I have been hesitant but I think I'll give it a go! XO
I'm trying toppers b/c medical issues is making my hair fall out . waaaaaaaa. May I politely point out youmay want to try shampooing w/o parabens or sulfates. Then rinse your hair with cold rice water. (I just make my own with rice & water but put in spray bottle & keep in fridge) I use conditioner b/c my hair is fine and tangles easy. The rice water acts as a detangler as well. But once you blow dry it makes your hair poofy. Don't ask me how or why but I think u will like it! I got this topper as my 1st but the 12FS12. (I also got the easipart HD Xl in same color but there must have been a quality control issue b/c the color was not only much darker but almost more ashy. I returned. I HAD to keep this one b/c when I just put on to see how it worked with my color, the net got caught in my glasses! I had to shake the topper a hundred ways to get it off. So I figured they would think I wore it so here I am. Yours looks lighter and thicker. I love your honesty about how the wigs feel and what works for you. OMG u have a video w glasses as I wear them too.! Thank you for your instructions. VERY helpful!!
p.s. Do you have a whole wig closet like some of the others here? I can't afford all of them!
This has been a fabulous video I really appreciate this because I have the same hair loss as you Been wearing wigs and I live in the south Wigs in the hot humid weather are so uncomfortable Also I have a petite average so I fight with wigs sometimes but I Found this one in a color that matches my bio hair on sale and wasn't sure until I watched this video so I just ordered it and I am excited Thank you so much for your help
What a lovely comment to read tonight. I am thrilled you found this helpful! I am so excited for you, and hope you love your new hair!
I’m wondering If my bio hair is longer then the topper but is a close match can I leave my hair a little longer and incorporate it? I love this look but I’m having trouble finding this style but in a 14 inch. I saw a belle tress one but not liking lace fronts. Thank you for sharing your hair journey with us. :)
I understand what you’re going through. I am loosing my hair and it’s so sad because my FAVORITE part about me has always been my thick pretty hair. No longer because it’s f ailing me. I have a topper and I think it’s ok but I’m still looking for better. Thank you for your video
So I found this video just a couple of weeks ago in my never-ending search for hair and wig solutions. And based on this video alone I bought the Top Notch in Shaded Praline. I almost don't know what to say. It's been a revelation. I was lucky enough to get it delivered just before we went into the horrible Coronavirus lockdown here in the UK, so I've been able to 'practice' wearing it in the safety of my own home. I followed your tutorials on how to apply and disguise the topper (and bought some fill-in powder).
I really have almost exactly the same hair as you and the same problems as you. Wigs lying weirdly over my ears, wigs being hot and uncomfortable, wigs not staying put and slipping backwards. Wigs just not looking real. I've tried extensions but like you say, my hair on top 'looked like crud' lol. I have such fine hair on top, at my hairline and the crown (PCOS of course) but it's quite 'normal' around the nape and sides.
I also love wearing sunglasses in the summer and yes, you can't wear them with wigs! It's a nightmare! So here I am ... waiting for the moment I'll be able to go back to work with this topper on. I feel that since no-one will have seen me for ages I won't be suddenly appearing with this amazing hair. I know people often see what they expect to see. I've cut my biohair to match the topper and OMG you really just can't see it. My husband loves it. When I go to put my topper on he calls it 'doing your hair'. He forgets I'm wearing it - and what's even more amazing - I forget I'm wearing it! I don't get headachy and my scalp isn't itchy. I could go on and on and on but honestly for the first time in years I look in the mirror and I look like me. And I look about 10 years younger, lol. I have dyed my hair to a medium brown to match the roots of the topper. Originally I thought I'd have to get some blonde highlights but looking at the topper on me, and looking at you I realise that's not the case and I can give my hair a break from the bleach.
So very, very, very happy. Thankyou so much for helping me get on this journey. I can't wait to get another topper!!! xxxx
I just got the exact topper this weekend but it has a horrible chemical smell. I was so disappointed because I have asthma and couldn’t keep it. 😢. Glad it worked for you.
Great video, my hair is thinning in the front, I’m so excited!
Thank you, Theodora! (by the way..that's a beautiful name). Let me know which one you decide to try when you do! ;)
Hi Jill
I noticed this video is three years old. Which topper do you personally like best since you started wearing those. I enjoy your videos so much, very instructive and inspirational. Blessings
I have gone to a custom topper now I must have bangs as the hair loss is in the very front. It is European virgin hair so beautiful My topper is 15" and I can pull it back in a pony tail also it can be braided . I love it and much cooler in our very hot humid summers.
Sounds perfect!!!
Jill is s so pretty... I so admire women who are comfortable in their own skin... Another example is Patty's pearls. You ladies knock it out of the park ... What an inspiration. As for me ... My hair is basically nothing... And honey , I'd rather be shot ,, than show myself with no wig at all... I wish I could be brave like y'all!!! Love you Jill
L
Too much talking especially at beginning and yet despite all the talking you ddidnt mention that this video was for this topper only. waste of time. Will have to search for the one I want. You could provide links to other toppers. bad video
What is the fill in powder? Any special dry shampoo used to decrease shininess? Thanks!
Thank you for this video! I know we just met, but I love you! lol Kidding. But seriously, I've been so sad about my hair loss and so scared to buy a topper and this video made me feel so much better! xxx
Awww....what a sweet comment to read this morning. Thank you! :) Toppers have brought me an amazing option!
Christy Hopson which did you choose & did you go with a Jon Renau?? I don’t even know where to start when it comes to ordering the right one or from who ??? Please share !!
The shaded praline seems so light! I am always shying away from it because I’m afraid it will be too brown
I just found that since my front hair line is very scarce......I would need a lace front topper....what would you recommend. I do love Top Notch
I can't believe I didn't know about toppers. I am over 50 and have been plaqued with thinning hair at the front of my hair. It does affect my self esteem. I am now going to start my investigative journey. Thanks!
I didn't know either...until I looked into wigs. Took me this long to try one! LOVE it so far!! Good luck on your new topper journey, Carrie....keep me posted!
Hi Jill, I ordered this topper, and it will arrive today! I'm so nervous/excited/scared! You say this is 12 inches, but I have only been able to find this particular one in 8-10 inches. My bio hair is pretty similar to yours in length, in this video. I really hope this works for me. I've been binge watching your videos for help, and bought this based on your video review here. :) Happy good hair day!
EEEK! How exciting!! Nothing is better than getting hair in the mail. Hee hee! Hope you love it as much as I do!
Hello, Jill. I'm new to wigs (and still trying to adjust to the fact that my hair is leaving me and will probably never come back...:-(...) so this video was very helpful for me. My bio hair looks very much like yours as far as texture goes. My one concern is that the topper clips might, eventually, start to pull out my bio hair where the clips are. You look lovely in this topper and I thank you so much for sharing this with us. I look forward to your review of how the topper affects your bio after repeated use. Thank you. Rhonda
Hi Rhonda! I do straighten my hair before I put the topper on, and I use a smoothing spray as well or/ other like product. My fine hair can get that cotton candy frizz thang. I will be talking about the clip thing in a new video...how important it is to make sure they are comfortable, and secured into strong hair. I will be keeping everyone updated on continued comfort and how the clips are effecting my own hair and scalp for that matter. ;) Thanks for watching! hugs~
rhondalyn100
I notice a little thinning where clips are but have been wearing toppers for 2 yrs, very happy and trying not to be concerned if I lose a little hair from clips as I will never go back to just bio hair , ever! So happy to have hair that looks nice!
You are further ahead of the game than I am, Jane....I'm still mourning about my thin, shedding hair. I've been on a wig buying frenzy but have yet to have the confidence to wear one away from my home. I think the topper looks like a great idea. What brand do you use? I'd love to try the JR than Jill has but it's too expensive for me at this point. I've purchased 16 wigs in the last three weeks!!! It's already an addiction I have to stop!!
rhondalyn100
I know, wig buying is expensive when you 1st start. I have a Box full of about 18 wigs I do not wear. Then you get the hang of what you like and get used to the colors, and also get used to wearing it, and not being in secure. Well kind of not being in secure. I am a Nurse,I work in really bright lights,
I have learned how to trim mine up and thin them out, I have never been asked, Other than by a couple of girls that asked if I had some extensions. When they ask me I just say yes , I let them believe I have a couple of extensions. Kind of the same thing. I don't think I need to go into further detail. I actually think it's kind of rude when they ask. My own kids do not know that I wear toppers that's how well they blend. Call and ask for help When you want to order something. I use Cryster wigs they are excellent helping you with color,cost, and style. And they always have coupons!
I wear top notch by J.R. And always wait to get them until they have 30% off, than I Get my extra so when I wear this one out I have it.
I have also worn JR, Top secret, I think it is called. It is only about a $123. In fact I just ordered one when they had a sale. It's a lot thinner in hair, but it's plenty for me. It is so nice to not have to worry about my hair in the mornings! I have to be at work between 615 and 630 so I don't have time to fret over it. And it never looked good 30 minutes after I worked on it anyways! I have gone through menopause in my hair is baby fine, worse than it ever was before! Hope this helps you, ask me any questions any time I can be of help.
