If you wear a lace hair topper and use glue to keep it in place, you might notice some hair coming off over time. This is actually pretty common. Glue can stick to the lace, pull on the knots, and eventually cause small bald spots. But don’t worry — there are simple ways to fix it.
Here’s what you can do, based on how much hair has fallen out.
1. For Small Bald Spots: Change the Part Line
If the hair loss is minor and not too visible, the easiest thing to try is moving the part. Instead of keeping it in the same spot, switch to a side part or shift it slightly. This helps cover the missing area without much effort.
Quick tip: Lightly dampen the top and use a blow dryer on low heat to help the new part stay in place.
2. For Larger Bald Spots: Visit a Repair Shop
If the hair loss is more noticeable and covers a bigger area, your best option might be to take the hair topper to a wig or hairpiece repair shop. They know how to fix lace bases and can reattach new hair by hand, strand by strand.
When choosing a shop, make sure:
They’ve worked on lace hair toppers before
They use hair that matches your hair topper’s color and texture
They’re gentle with lace, so it doesn’t tear during the fix
3. If You’re a DIY Fan: Try Fixing It Yourself
If you’re patient and don’t mind working with small tools, you can also fix it yourself. You’ll need:
A tiny hook or ventilating needle
Loose hair (similar to your hair topper’s)
A well-lit area or magnifying lamp
You can re-knot new hair into the lace by hand. It takes time and focus, but if you enjoy this kind of project, it’s worth trying. Just be careful — lace is delicate, and it’s easy to damage if you pull too hard.

A Gentle Reminder: Not All Damage Is Fully Fixable
We always want to be honest. If the bald area is large, even a good repair may not make it look exactly like it did before. The parting or hair density may change a little. Also, if the lace has gotten thin or weak, it could tear during the repair process — even with extra care.
That’s why we suggest checking with us first. We’ll help you decide if repair is a good idea or if it’s better to go with a new hair topper.
