When it comes to hair toppers, one of the most common questions women ask is: “Can I cut bangs into my hair topper?”
The simple answer is yes. But the type of hair topper you have makes a big difference in how easy it will be to cut bangs and how natural the final look will appear.
In this guide, I’ll explain why bangs are one of the best styling hacks for hair toppers, explore the most popular UniWigs hair toppers—Upgrade Courtney, Breeze, Savannah, and Upgrade Aura—and share which ones are best suited for cutting bangs.
Why Bangs Are the Perfect Hair Topper Hack
Bangs solve one of the biggest challenges with hair toppers: blending. Many women struggle to blend the hair topper with their natural hairline, especially if they have thinning hair at the front. Bangs completely remove that worry because they cover the front edge of the hair topper.
There are other reasons bangs are so effective:
- They instantly conceal the hair topper’s hairline.
- They make the style look youthful and modern.
- They eliminate the need for precise blending with your own bio hair.
- They give you more versatility in styling since you can wear wispy bangs, curtain bangs, or even full blunt bangs depending on your look.
If your front hairline is weak, bangs can completely transform how confident you feel in a hair topper.
Upgrade Courtney: Mono Top Hair Topper
Let’s start with one of the most popular UniWigs hair toppers—Upgrade Courtney. This hair topper has a 7” x 8” cap and a mono top, which allows for realistic parting. The density is natural, not too heavy, and the piece even comes with a subtle pre-cut curtain bang.
When it comes to bangs, Upgrade Courtney is a good option if you want light, wispy bangs. The density at the front can support a soft fringe without making the hair topper look too thin. However, if your goal is a fuller, thicker bang, Upgrade Courtney is not the best choice since it doesn’t have as much density in the front as other hair toppers.
Breeze: Lace Top Hair Topper
Next is the Breeze lace hair topper. This hair topper is constructed with Swiss lace and includes a halo wire for extra security. It has an 8.5” x 9” base. It’s lightweight, breathable, and a favorite choice for summertime or anyone who wants a hair topper that feels airy on the head.
The lace construction provides a realistic-looking hairline, which is one of Breeze’s biggest strengths. Cutting bangs into Breeze is absolutely possible, but there are some considerations. Because lace tops have lighter density, cutting heavy bangs could make the hair topper look thinner overall, especially in the back. For that reason, Breeze is better for soft, wispy bangs rather than a thick blunt cut.
Another point to keep in mind is that lace can fray over time. For many women, cutting bangs into a lace hair topper is actually a smart way to extend its life once the lace near the front starts to wear.
Savannah: Silk Top Hair Topper
If you already know you want bangs, the Savannah silk top hair topper is one of the best options. Silk tops are famous for their ability to mimic the look of a natural scalp. The way the hair is knotted under the silk base makes it look like it’s growing directly out of your head.
Savannah has a 9” x 9” cap with a 4.25” x 4.25” silk area. One of its advantages is that it has more density at the front compared to lace hair toppers. This makes it perfect if you want to cut bangs, since you won’t lose coverage elsewhere on the hair topper.
You can easily cut wispy curtain bangs, side bangs, or even thick blunt bangs into Savannah, and it will still look natural. Because of the density and structure of silk tops, they handle bangs better than almost any other base.
Upgrade Aura: Skin Top Hair Topper
The Upgrade Aura skin top hair topper is another excellent choice for women who are thinking about bangs. Like silk tops, skin tops create a scalp-like effect that looks very realistic from above. The difference is in the material, which is slightly less flexible but often even more natural-looking in terms of parting.
Upgrade Aura has a cap size around 7.5 by 7.5 with a large parting area of about 4” x 5”. That means you can part it anywhere—center, deep side, or off-center—and still achieve a natural look.
For bangs, Aura works well for light to medium fringes. It doesn’t have as much density at the very front as Savannah, so heavy bangs aren’t ideal. But it does have a ridge at the front of the cap, and cutting bangs is a clever way to conceal that ridge without having to blend in your bio hair.
Lace vs Silk vs Skin vs Mono Tops for Bangs
To simplify:
Lace tops like Breeze are best if you want lightweight hair toppers with wispy bangs. They’re breathable but not ideal for thick bangs.
Silk tops like Savannah are the top choice if you want full, thick bangs. They have more density and the scalp effect looks extremely natural.
Skin tops like Upgrade Aura are versatile and realistic, making them great for light to medium bangs.
Mono tops like Upgrade Courtney are good if you want very subtle bangs but don’t plan to cut a heavy fringe.
Tips for Cutting Bangs Into a hair topper
If you’ve decided to cut bangs into your hair topper, here are some tips to make sure it turns out beautifully:
Start longer: Always cut longer than you think you’ll need. You can trim more, but you can’t undo a cut.
Work with a stylist: If possible, have a professional stylist help you. They’ll know how to shape the bangs so they suit your face and the hair topper’s density.
Consider density: Heavier bangs require hair toppers with thicker density in the front, like silk tops. Wispy bangs work with lighter bases like lace tops.
Test the style: If you’re unsure about committing, try clip-in bangs first to see how the look feels on you.
Maintenance: Over time, lace or silk may wear at the front. Cutting bangs not only refreshes your look but can also extend the life of the hair topper by covering worn edges.
Final Thoughts: Which hair topper Should You Choose?
So, can you cut bangs into a hair topper? Absolutely. But the best hair topper for bangs depends on the style of bangs you want.
If you dream of full, thick bangs, a silk top like Savannah will give you the most natural and dense look. If you’re leaning toward light, wispy bangs, the Breeze lace hair topper or Upgrade Courtney mono hair topper are better choices. And if you want versatility with realistic parting and subtle bangs, the Upgrade Aura skin top hair topper is a fantastic option.
No matter which hair topper you choose, bangs are the perfect hack to make your piece look seamless, stylish, and effortless. They take away the worry of blending, conceal your hairline, and open up a whole new world of styling possibilities.
So go ahead—say yes to bangs, and enjoy the confidence boost that comes with them.
