Transform Lives With Hair Extensions For Thin Hair
After testing seemingly every hairstyle—from fringes to side-swept bobs to a collection of headbands—your client steps into the salon, ready for a method that may actually conceal their hair loss. Enter the trusted tape-in hair topper. Lightweight, customizable, and gentle, hairtalk® tape-in hair toppers provide coverage for clients while allowing them to grow out their natural hair. Any stylist who has seen a client beam after seeing their freshly installed locks understands the power of toppers and hair extensions for thin hair.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Male pattern baldness may be the most common type of hair loss, but certain factors can make individuals of all genders and ages susceptible to hair shedding. Hormonal changes or imbalances can alter the hair growth cycle—individuals in the postpartum period or with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may experience hair loss symptoms. Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease, also causes sudden hair loss, with the onset beginning at any age. Certain medications, hereditary factors, and even stress may result in clients losing hair as well.
Regardless of the condition impacting your client, always ensure your client’s scalp is in good condition to wear extensions.
Hear Our Community's Hair Loss Stories
Experiencing hair loss can feel as though a part of our identity has been removed too. Although many quip about having a “bad hair day,” the expression does not appreciate the weight hair holds when it comes to our self-esteem. Let’s put a spotlight on a condition that impacts an estimated 80 million Americans with these stories from real stylists and clients.
Story #1: Living With Alopecia Areata
hairtalk® master educator Alyssa Addison (@lyssblairehair) shared her experience styling an 11-year-old girl with alopecia areata. When Viv started her extension journey, she would sometimes cry if she saw new hair loss. Alyssa decided to have Viv name three things she loved about herself before putting on the topper. Eventually, Alyssa said, Viv didn’t focus on her hair loss as much.
“The topper gave her the confidence to look in the mirror and find things she loved. It took away the fact that she was losing her hair and let her truly start loving herself. That is the power of Hairtalk’s Toppers. They change the lives of our guests.” -Alyssa Addison
Story #2: Regaining Confidence At Work
C.A., whose mother and grandmother also had thin hair, began experiencing balding. As a middle school teacher, this was an even more challenging experience since students sometimes made negative comments. However, discovering our topper boosted her confidence drastically.
“Finding hairtalk’s toppers literally has given me such a huge boost of self-esteem. I tried for so long to pretend that my thinning hair didn’t bother me, but it did! My new hair gives me more confidence every day.” - C.A
Another hairtalk® master educator, Heather Rafalski (@heather_rafalski) used the Wonderfill Tape-In Full-Coverage Topper to transform C.A.’s hair.
Story #3: Taking Charge Of Her Hair Journey
Stephanie S. had thin hair since childhood but after turning 30, it became progressively worse. Eventually, her dermatologist confirmed it was female pattern baldness. When she concluded no magic pill or fix could transform her hair, she took charge of her own happiness.
“I wanted something I could be active in, swim in and could be part of my everyday life. Having my topper has made me feel so much better. I’m grateful for the product and the expertise of Heather [Rafalski] in making me feel good about myself again.” - Stephanie S.
Heather custom-colored the Wonderfill Topper to deliver this transformation.
Story #4: Quitting "Quick Fixes"
H.G., another client who turned to Alyssa Addison, has medical conditions that contribute to hair thinning. After experimenting with hair fillers and fibers, teasing and parting, and sometimes hiding hair under a hat, H.G. decided to try our extensions.
“For the first time in my life, I have people complimenting me on my beautiful hair! This topper is an absolute life-changer for anyone dealing with thinning or hair loss. I never realized how much my self-confidence was truly impacted by the state of my hair until I found this piece!” -H.G.

Make Hair Toppers Your Hair Loss Solution
We changed the hairpiece landscape when we first launched our tape-in toppers. Considered the gentlest hair topper on the market, they do not require shaving for application; clients can swim, workout, and live as though they are wearing their natural hair.
Global leaders of the tape-in hair topper, our three customizable options allow stylists to address the unique needs of clients. Our full-coverage topper (the “Wonderfill”) is our most popular option and provides the largest concealment for clients on the top of the head. The part-line topper (the “Smart Part”) boosts volume along the hair part and adds 16 inches of length. Our crown topper (the “Volumize Her”) suits clients with smaller areas of hair loss and fits the curvature of the crown. Finally, for clients wanting a more everyday piece, we offer a fourth hairwear item, the Top of the Head clip-in extension.
Consider Tape-In Extensions For Thin Hair
While toppers suit clients with more severe forms of hair loss, tape-in extensions also can support those with thinning hair. Some clients may not necessarily need the coverage of hairwear, but still want added length and volume; applying tape-ins can also dramatically transform clients.
Whether your client seeks tape-ins or toppers, the full-coverage Wonderfill or moderate-coverage Smart Part, hairtalk® hopes to empower stylists with customizable options. Transform your clients’ lives with our hair loss solutions.
