💫What to Avoid When Caring for Your Hair Topper.

Your Halo Hair Topper is beautifully crafted from 100% virgin human hair, designed to look, feel, and move just like your own. With the right care, it can stay soft, silky, and flawless for a long time. However, just like your natural hair, there are a few important products and styling habits to avoid to keep your topper looking its very best.

Here’s our expert guide on what to steer clear of to protect the quality and longevity of your topper.

🚫

1. Avoid Hair Oils (Including Coconut or Moroccan Oil)

While natural oils can be nourishing for your own hair, they can weigh down and coat your topper’s strands, leaving them dull and difficult to style. Over time, oil build-up can also weaken the knots and affect how the hair falls.

🚫

2. Avoid Protein-Based Products (Such as Olaplex)

Protein treatments are designed to rebuild damaged natural hair, but toppers don’t regenerate in the same way. Using protein-rich products can cause the hair to become stiff, dry, or brittle. Always opt for gentle, moisture-based formulas instead.

🚫

3. Avoid Sulphates

Sulphates (commonly found in shampoos) can strip away natural oils and moisture, leading to dryness and tangling. Choose sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain softness and shine.

🚫

4. Avoid Products with Keratin

Although keratin sounds beneficial, keratin-infused products can cause build-up on hair toppers, making them feel heavy or coated. Stick with lightweight, salon-quality products designed for human hair extensions or toppers.

🚫

5. Avoid Colour Sprays or Root Touch-Up Sprays

These sprays can leave residue that’s extremely difficult to remove and may stain the silk, lace, or mono base. If you wish to adjust your colour, always consult a professional who specialises in human hair toppers.

🚫

6. Be Careful When Using T-Pins

If you use T-pins to secure your topper during styling or drying, make sure to insert them through the clips only, not through the silk, lace, or mono material. Piercing these delicate areas can cause tearing or permanent damage.

🚫

7. Avoid Blunt Cuts and Thinning Scissors

A blunt cut can make your topper look heavy and unnatural, while thinning scissors can remove too much density. Always ask a stylist experienced with toppers to create a soft, blended finish that complements your natural hair and face shape.
