A Natural Look with FFA: Annette’s Honest Review of Her Human Hair Topper

Hair loss is something many people go through, but when it’s from a condition like Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA), it can be especially hard to manage. In a recent YouTube video, Annette shares her personal journey with FFA and how she uses a human hair topper to feel confident again. This blog breaks down her experience and gives a real look at what it’s like to wear a hair topper for the first time.

Living with FFA

Annette begins by introducing herself:

“Hi, my name is Annette and uh I’ve got frontal fibrosis alopeesia. You can see it over here, but I’ve also got a bald spot here on the top of my head.”

She’s been dealing with FFA for a few years, and as she explains, “It doesn’t stop.” Like many others with this condition, her hairline has receded, and there’s noticeable thinning at the top of her head. It’s something she’s learned to live with, but that doesn’t mean it’s been easy.

Choosing a Human Hair Topper

To help with coverage and boost her confidence, Annette wears a hair topper. The one she shows in the video is the Breeze Ultra-Breathable Lace Top Human Hair Topper with Lace Front. It’s her first time trying a topper made with human hair.

“This is the first time for me to have human hair,” she says. “It feels really silk-like.”

That’s one of the main reasons people choose a human hair topper over synthetic—because of the texture, shine, and the ability to style it just like your own hair.

Inside the Topper

Annette takes a closer look at the topper construction:

“When you look inside of a topper, it got all those things over here… and there’s also clips in the front and back and you can have a wire across it.”

She’s talking about the clips and the halo wire, which help keep the piece secure without pulling on your own hair. The lace top and lace front allow for a natural-looking part and hairline, while the breathable design makes it comfortable to wear for long periods.

Customizing the Fit

Not all toppers come ready to wear out of the box. Annette decides to make a few changes. She removes the halo wire and sews in a small patch so she can use double-sided tape at the front.

“So I cut it out. I do have to sew something in it to put my double-sided tape on… I’m going to sew it just in front over here so I can tape it over here.”

She plans to use the clips on the sides and the tape at the front. For her, that feels like the most secure setup.

“I think that will be sufficient for me.”

Time to Try It On

After making the adjustments, it’s time for the big moment—putting the topper on.

“I guess that I’m ready. I think it’s ready now. Let’s try it.”
She adds, “It’s like I’ve never put on a topper before, but that’s not really true.”

Without a mirror in front of her, she uses the camera to guide herself.

“Everyone got his own special way to do it and this is mine. I’m going to wing it.”

She positions the topper, adjusts the sides, and checks how it feels before removing the tape backing.

“I think it is. Yes, yes, yes.”

The Reveal

Once the topper is placed and secured, Annette smiles wide.

“Oh my word, look at this. It’s really really okay over here. I think it’s a nice spot where I put the tape… Oh man, this is stunning. This is really stunning.”

She’s especially impressed with how well the color blends with her natural hair.

“Can you see how good the color matches with my own color?”

This is one of the most important parts of finding the right topper. A close color match makes the piece look seamless and totally natural.

Natural Look in Natural Light

To show viewers how it really looks, Annette steps outside into the sunlight.

“So we’re in the sun now. How about this? Look at the color.”
The topper shines just like natural, healthy hair. It doesn’t look fake or overly glossy like some synthetic pieces can.

“It’s really shiny and it’s really natural. I think I really like the color.”

She repeats simply: “I like it.”
