To achieve the most realistic and natural hairline, many people choose to use glue for their lace front toppers. However, this may not be the only way to wear one. Recently, UniWigs introduced the new shade Soft Dusty Ash Brown for our best-selling Upgrade Courtney lace front mono top topper. Today, using this beautiful lace front mono top human hair topper as our guide, let’s explore the question: To glue or not to glue?

Why Would a Hair Topper Need to Be Secured with Glue?

The Upgrade Courtney features a lace front and mono top base combination, which is perfect for diverse styling preferences. It also offers a generous base size that ensures the topper hair blends seamlessly with your bio hair, even at the back of the head. Thanks to the extended lace, a lace front provides the most realistic and natural hairline. However, the lightweight lace can also lift easily. To ensure the topper remains secure and maintains a natural look during activities like exercise, many people choose to use glue to help keep the lace front in place.

The Glued Method for Your Topper Application

• Prep: Trim the excess lace close to the hairline to best fit your forehead and natural hairline. That will help you cost less glue and achieve the most comfortable experience.
• Apply: Place the lace front with tape slightly away from your natural parting so that the majority of the hair will be covering, and press the lace front down so it sticks to your forehead. Then secure the entire topper by attaching the four clips to your own hair.
• Result: This method creates a completely flat, ”melted” look. You can even shake your head freely while wearing the topper.

The ”Not to Glue” Method to Secure Your Human Hair Topper

What if you hate the sticky residue of glue? Let’s choose a brilliant alternative:
The Halo Wire.

• Prep: Ensure your halo wire is properly attached to the topper base. It’s pretty robust and quite stretchy.
• Apply: Position the topper on your head, placing the lace front slightly farther forward than usual. Pull your natural hair at the back over the wire to conceal it. Once the piece feels snug, fasten the four clips to your own hair as you normally would.
• Result: The tension from the halo wire pulls the lace front inward, creating a seamless, secure fit. You will achieve a natural hairline and total stability without using any glue or tape.

The ultimate goal of wearing a hairpiece is for it to be undetectable. A customer once shared with us a story about a woman who ”searchingly” tickled the back of her head, suspecting a hairpiece. Because the Upgrade Courtney fits so flatly, the ”investigator” found nothing and backed off.

At UniWigs, a human hair topper is more than just a tool for coverage; it is a source of confidence and a way to feel like yourself again. Go ahead and find that topper application method fitting you best.
