Changes to your hair can happen for many reasons – gradual or sudden – it’s something almost everyone goes through at some point in their lives. Whether it’s due to a diagnosis, stress, hormonal shifts, or just the effects of time, you’re not the only one experiencing it I promise!
If your hair isn't what it once was, it's completely understandable that you would want to rewind to something that feels familiar – that look you loved, that feeling of safety, comfort and confidence. But whilst things may have shifted, that doesn’t mean you can’t have hair you love again.
A quick run-through of the options
If your hair has changed, you might have already tried a few things – cosmetic thickening products (sometimes effective, but often short-lived), hair extensions (great underneath, not so for crown coverage), or hair fibres and root sprays (good for small areas, but a bit messy).
A hair topper however, can provide coverage, volume, or extra thickness where you need it most. They are low commitment, low maintenance and an instant glow-up... which is exactly why I love them!
That elusive 'perfect match'
As a specialist who works with hair toppers every day, I often meet people who are hoping to find something that looks just like their old hair. But things change and what worked for you before may not be the best option for you now (even though many of my clients are surprised and often delighted by how close we can get!).
The important thing to ask yourself is: does this hair topper make my hair look better than it does without one? Not compared to ten years ago, an old photo, or someone else.
It’s not about chasing perfection or turning back the clock, it’s about finding something wearable that makes life easier, and helps you feel more confident... right now.
Keeping an open mind can make all the difference... sometimes the style you least expect turns out to be the one you love the most.
Moving forward with support
If you're at the stage where you're exploring what's possible, you’ve already taken that positive first step. Changes in our hair can feel overwhelming, but once you let go of the past, it can open up exciting possibilities. This next chapter can actually be enjoyable and quite liberating.
