Hair loss or thinning can be emotionally challenging for clients—and professionally challenging for stylists. Choosing the right topper isn’t just about color or style. It’s about restoring confidence, comfort, and natural appearance.
At Galansy, we specialize in crafting high-quality, breathable, and fully customizable toppers for women, especially those with sensitive scalps and advanced hair thinning. In this guide, we’ll break down the five key criteria that every salon or stylist should consider before recommending a topper.
1. Base Size: Coverage Starts with Precision
The base of a topper determines how much scalp it can cover. A small base (e.g., 5×5″) is ideal for clients with localized thinning (like a parting), while larger bases (e.g., 8×8″ or 10×10″) work better for more widespread thinning or early-stage alopecia.
Tips:
-
Measure the thinning area while the hair is dry and parted naturally.
-
Add 1 inch on all sides to ensure secure clipping and full coverage.
-
Ask the client where they need the most volume—top, crown, or both.
At Galansy, we offer fully customizable base sizes, tailored to each client’s exact scalp map.
2. Hair Density: Light Looks Real
Density affects how the topper blends with natural hair. Too much density can look bulky and unnatural. Too little, and the scalp shows through.
Standard guidance:
-
Light to medium density (90–120%) suits most women with thinning hair.
-
Higher density (130–150%) is only recommended for clients who want dramatic volume or are using the piece for fashion purposes.
We recommend always matching topper density with the client’s own hair density at the sides and back, for a seamless transition.
3. Hair Type & Texture: Match What Matters
Some clients want a silky straight look. Others need body wave or tight curls. Offering the wrong texture not only makes the topper look fake—it makes styling harder.
At Galansy, we provide Remy Human Hair toppers in a wide range of textures, including:
-
Straight
-
Body wave
-
Loose wave
-
Deep wave
-
Curly
You can also request custom texture matching for returning clients or clients transitioning from extensions to toppers.
4. Color Matching: The Make-or-Break Factor
Even the best-quality topper will look “off” if the color doesn’t match. That includes:
-
Root color
-
Highlights/lowlights
-
Tone (warm vs cool)
Pro tip: Always match the topper to the client’s mid-length and ends, not the roots—especially for clients who dye their hair.
Galansy offers personalized color blending, including:
-
Multi-tone root shadow
-
Hand-painted balayage
-
Precision color ring matching (via sample photos or actual samples)
5. Base Material: Breathability = Comfort
For women who wear toppers all day, comfort is non-negotiable. Many mass-market toppers use hot, synthetic base materials that cause sweating or irritation.
Galansy toppers use breathable, medical-grade lace or silk bases, including:
-
Mono-top (monofilament): For realistic scalp appearance
-
Silk base: For ultra-smooth comfort
-
Lace front: For seamless hairline transitions
We also support combination bases for clients with sensitive skin or alopecia.
Bonus: Attachment Method Matters
Clips are the most common, but some clients prefer:
-
Adhesive tapes (especially if hair is very fine)
-
Combs
-
No-clip designs for custom integration systems
Let us know your client’s lifestyle and scalp condition—we’ll recommend the most secure and gentle method.
Conclusion: Personalization Is Professionalism
Choosing the right topper isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It requires understanding your client’s lifestyle, scalp condition, hair goals, and emotional needs. The better the fit, the more natural and confident your client will feel.
At Galansy, we make it easy for professionals to deliver salon-grade, custom-fit toppers—even in small quantities. Whether you’re helping a first-time buyer or a long-term client, we’ll support you from measurement to delivery.
One topper. One client. One perfect solution. That’s the Galansy difference.
