Thank you so much for sharing this, I've seen a lot of these type of videos but this one is so thorough with explaining the products and stuff. But I am a little confused on one thing, so if you've already put a heat protectant in and styled it with curls and then 3 days later the curls fall out and you want to touch them up, would you then spray more heat protectant on it each time you style? Thanks in advance for your answer! 🥰👍

Loved this! I have Dimples hair..a new one with wider base plus their shampoo and conditioner! Will follow your tips!

I like the washing method. Amazon has lots of real human hair topper options and they are under $100. It looks so natural even I myself can’t tell I am wearing it. I don’t like washing the hair topper every 4 months. That’s way too long for me. Any way your method works. Thanks! I just use the shampoo and conditioner I have.

Hi Lacie! I received my Clio 12 L a few days ago and washed it, following your video. I used the dimples shampoo and conditioner. Also used the 5 in 1 styling treatment. I let it air dry. This morning I had a consultation with Seema. She agreed with me that the hair seemed dry. She suggested washing it again and using more conditioner, thinking I may not have used enough. So I repeated the wash and here is what the topper looks like. It still seems dry to me. She said to reach out to you so I am doing that. Does it look dry? I haven’t blow dried it yet since I didn’t have a heat protectant yet Thank you for your help!!

Hi Lacie! Can I use Kevin Murphy shampoo/conditioner on my toppers?

Do you recommend washing the topper before you wear it for the first time?? I keep seeing conflicting information and I trust your opinion and knowledge, thanks!!

Hi. I’m new to toppers. I just brought the Lauren Ashton topper. My ends are very dry and I just got it. What would you recommend for moisture?

Hi Lacey. I'm in Canada and I can't seem to find a store that will ship the Dimples shampoo and conditioner to my region. Can you recommend another shampoo and conditioner for human hair toppers that I may be able to get in Canada? Also, I wanted to ask if Moroccan oil would work in place of the oil you recommended? Thanks for all you awesome videos!

Thanks for this video! So thorough 😊.

What if the roots of the topper are clean but the ends are clumping... can I just wash the ends? And would that help extend the life of the piece?

[vivienneandersson]

I cant find the video where you had curtain bangs cut for your topper, that looked amazing.

Hello Lacie! I bought the aura uniwig because of your recommendation and how lovely it is on you. I loved it. It doesn’t look as natural on me as it does you and that probably styling. But now I’m panicking. I washed it … and it seems ruined. It like a frizz ball. And crazy dry. Im scared to death. Is it normal to look like a completely different wig? It’s fried and curly and puffy. Im so heartbroken right now. Should I take it to a stylist?

[thealifam]

i need help deciding on a budget friendly wig please help

[janabaltimore]

Is this washing/ conditioning technique applicable for synthetic toppers?

[dakshapatel]

Hi I have a hair topper not purchased by uniwigs. My human hair topper is muted and tangled. Will uniwigs fix it or any other good place that I can go to or mail it. Please please help me. I need someone really good at me thanks a lot

[kimclevenger]

Can you tell me which topper you’re wearing in this video?

[midlifebeauty_withheather]
