This blog is all about sharing my best tips for wearing hair toppers in the summertime. I’ve tried many of their pieces over the years, and I really enjoy them.
Summer can be tricky for topper wearers. Hot weather, sweat, and outdoor activities often make us worry about comfort and security. But with the right styling and care, you can enjoy your topper all season long. Below, I’ll walk you through my go-to tricks.
Tip #1: Wear Your Topper in a Ponytail
The first tip is simple but effective—wear your hair topper in a ponytail. In the heat, keeping hair off your neck feels refreshing, and with the right topper, it looks completely natural.
I used the Airy Elegance piece in the closed lace front version. As I shared, “This hair topper is the Airy Elegance piece that they have in closed lace front version, which requires no glue. I like to use the halo wire that comes with it. Scoop some hair out to disguise the wire, and then you can easily wear your hair up.”
When you wear your topper this way, bits of your own bio hair peek through, making the style look realistic and effortless.
Tip #2: Choose a Glueless Topper
Not all toppers are created equal. Lace front toppers are beautiful, but in the summertime, glue can be tricky. Sweat may affect the hold, and reapplying can be annoying.
As I mentioned in the video, “Uno Wigs does have this exact hair topper, the Airy Elegance, as a full lace front, which requires glue. It’s a beautiful piece, but for summertime, maybe not the most ideal. I love this option of the closed front. It requires no glue, holds in place, and feels really comfortable.”
For women looking for a reliable hair topper for summer, glue-free options are definitely worth considering.
Tip #3: Wear A Scarf When Sweating to Avoid Adjusting Hairline
Another favorite trick is accessorizing. If you’re wearing a lace front hair topper or a traditional hair topper with your own hair left out, try a wide headband or a scarf.
“Sometimes I just use a really stretchy wide headband, but if I want to make it a little more fancy, I’ll take a fun vintage scarf. It’s a great way to disguise a topper if you’re sweating and don’t want to adjust the front a lot.”
This works especially well for outdoor activities or vacations. Plus, scarves and headbands add a stylish touch that makes your look unique.
Tip #4: Summer Travel is Perfect For First-Time Topper Wearers
If you’re new to hair toppers, summer travel is a great time to build confidence. When you’re away from your hometown, you don’t have to worry about running into people you know.
As I shared, “I found the best time to try toppers was in the summertime when I was going on trips. It got me used to the feeling of wearing a topper and being out in public, but without worrying about seeing people I know.”
Travel offers freedom, and that freedom can help you get comfortable wearing your topper.
Tip #5: Travel Packing Tips For Toppers
Never just roll up your topper and toss it into a bag. These pieces deserve proper care.
Here’s what I recommend:
Keep the original packaging. Use the netting and paper wrapping if provided.
If you receive a silk storage bag, use it! It’s perfect for travel.
No silk bag? No problem—any soft pouch or even a pillowcase works.
This extra care keeps your hair topper for women smooth, frizz-free, and ready to wear.
Tip #6: Choose Breathable, Lightweight Pieces
Finally, not all toppers feel the same in hot weather. Some bases are more breathable than others. That’s why I recommend looking at lightweight collections like UniWigs’ FeatherLight.
“These are all great options for summer. They have very breathable lace. It’s super fine and airy, as the name says—Airy Elegance.”
Choosing a topper designed for comfort makes summer wear much more enjoyable.
Final Thoughts
Summer doesn’t have to be stressful for topper wearers. Whether you’re an experienced user or just starting your journey with hair toppers, these tips can help you stay cool, stylish, and confident.
A hair topper for women isn’t just about coverage—it’s about comfort and confidence. With the right piece and the right care, you can enjoy beautiful hair all summer long.
