Hårdelar och toppers för tunt hår – diskret volym

Many people looking for hair extensions actually need something else. If your hair has thinned at the parting or on top of the head, extra length at the back won't help – a hairpiece is the right solution.

What is a hair topper?

A hairpiece that attaches to your own hair with small clips and covers exactly the area where you need more. It only covers part of the head, unlike a wig, which covers everything.

When is a hairpiece the best fit?

  • Your parting has become wider
  • Your hair has thinned after pregnancy, stress or with age
  • You want volume without committing to a treatment
  • You want to be able to take it off whenever you like

How to choose the right one

  • Size: measure the area you want to cover – it's better to go slightly bigger than smaller.
  • Base: a lace or silk base gives the most natural-looking parting.
  • Colour: match it to the hair at your parting, not the ends, which are often lighter.
  • Length: slightly shorter than your own hair blends in most softly.

Try one on in Uppsala

A hairpiece is hard to order on instinct – the base size and colour need to be seen against your own hair. We also cut the hairpiece in so the transition disappears completely.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a hairpiece and a topper?
A topper is a type of hairpiece placed on top of the head. Other hairpieces, such as a fringe or ponytail, meet completely different needs.
Who is a topper for?
Anyone with thinner hair at the parting, crown or hairline who still has enough of their own hair for the clips to attach to.
Can I try it on in the salon?
Yes, we'll help you with colour, size and fit in the salon. Book in advance so we can set aside plenty of time for you.
Can people tell you're wearing a topper?
Not if the colour and base are chosen correctly. A silk or lace base mimics the scalp so the parting looks natural even up close.
How do I care for it?
Wash it gently with sulphate-free shampoo, let it air-dry on a wig stand and store it brushed out in a dark, cool place.
