Measure the hair-loss area
Measure side-to-side for width and front-to-back for length using a soft tape. Record both measurements.
Measure first, then choose the base
A topper is not a full wig. The safest natural-looking result starts with the client’s hair-loss area, enough healthy surrounding hair for attachment and a base that extends beyond the measured coverage zone.
Choose base size and type
Select a base slightly larger than the thinning area, then compare skin, silk, lace and mono construction.
Match colour, texture and density
Use a physical colour reference and choose texture, length and density that blend with the client’s own hair.

Measure a Client’s Hair Loss Area
A topper is not a full wig. It is essential to make sure that the topper is right fit for you if you are looking for seamless effects that are both safe and effective. Identify your stages of hair loss is important if you want to cover your hair loss with a hair topper. YMWIG toppers are also an awesome solution to add the volume on the top of your head or even cover your hair root.
To find the perfect hair topper for your client, it is essential to determine the amount of coverage your client needs, depending on their hair loss area. There must be a sufficient amount of hair to attach the clips to. Measuring your client’s hair loss area will help you to determine which base size will be best for your client.
The tools that you’ll need ●A fabric tape measure; ●A pen; ●A piece of paper;
To determine your client’s hair loss area, all you need are two measurements: the width and the length of the hair loss area. Firstly, measure side to side to determine the width, and then front to back to determine the length, and then write these two measurements down. The hair loss area= width x length.
Choose the Right Base Size
To choose the right base size, you need to add one inch onto both the width and length measurements you just wrote down. Be sure to choose a topper base size that is larger than the actual area of your client’s hair loss. If you can't find a hair topper base with the exact measurements you're looking for, go for the next size up to be safe.
Select the base type you prefer
For people purchasing a Hair Topper for the first time, it can be useful to become familiar with the different types of hair topper bases to help you choose an ideal hair topper. At YMWIG, we offer four different types of bases in our Hair Topper collection. Each of the base types have different pros and cons.
Choose the Right Hair Color
It is important to choose a topper hair color that closely resembles your natural hair shade, so that your client’s hair topper will blend in with their own hair for a natural look. You can always use YMWIG color rings to match your hair color and find the best color match. Or find you hair color in our color system.
Choose the Right Hair Texture
YMWIG sells hair toppers in straight, wavy, and curly texture options. We highly recommend choosing a hair texture that closely resembles your client’s own hair. If there is no perfect hair texture available, we recommend styling the hair topper to match the texture of your hair to achieve an ideal blend.
Choose the Right Hair Length
Matching the topper hair length to your hair length is an essential step in choosing the right hair topper. If the wrong length is chosen it can look unnatural, as the topper will not be able to properly blend with your current length. Hair length is also impacted by hair texture. The hair texture type influences how long the hair appears to be.
