Expert Answers to Your Wig & Topper Questions

Non-surgical hair replacement is a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to restore the appearance of thicker, fuller hair without surgery or medical treatments using high-quality wigs, toppers, and hairpieces that are customized to suit your needs. Whether you're experiencing thinning, patchy hair, or total hair loss due to alopecia, chemotherapy, stress, or hormonal changes, we offer private consultations to find the right solution for you. Every piece is fitted, cut, styled, and colored (if needed) to complement your features and lifestyle—so you feel like you again.

A wig covers your entire scalp and is ideal if you're experiencing full or widespread hair loss. A topper, also called a hair topper or partial hairpiece, is designed to blend in with your existing hair, adding volume and coverage in targeted areas—typically on the crown, part line, or top of the head.

If you still have some of your natural hair and are noticing thinning in specific spots, a topper may be the best fit. If your hair loss is more extensive or you want to simplify your daily styling routine, a full wig could be the better option. During your consultation at b.LUXE, we’ll help you try on both and find what feels most comfortable and natural for you.

Both human hair and synthetic options have their strengths, and the choice depends on your lifestyle, styling habits, and budget.

Human Hair:

Feels soft and natural to the touch

Can be heat-styled, colored, or permed
Offers long-term durability (with proper care)

Requires more maintenance—similar to natural hair

Synthetic Hair:

Pre-styled and retains shape after washing

Lightweight and low maintenance

More affordable

Limited styling and coloring flexibility (some can’t be heat-styled)

At b.LUXE, we carry premium options in both categories, and we’ll walk you through everything during your consultation and fitting to help you make a decision that aligns with your needs.

If you choose a human hair wig or topper, yes—you can use heat tools and have your piece colored by a professional with experience in alternative hair. These pieces behave like your natural hair but should still be treated gently to preserve their quality.

Synthetic wigs and toppers are a bit different. Most synthetic hairpieces are not heat-friendly, though some models are designed to tolerate low heat. These styles come pre-set and hold their shape exceptionally well. Always check the heat tolerance with your stylist before using any tools.

Lifespan depends on the type of piece and how often you wear it. Here is a conservative estimate.

Human Hair Wigs & Toppers: 12-24 months with proper care.

Synthetics: Wigs that are collarbone length or longer, typically last 4–6 months with regular wear, or longer if rotated with other pieces or worn occasionally.

Short-Haired Synthetics: 6-12 months

At b.LUXE, we’ll give you personalized care instructions and tips to help you get the most longevity from your new hairpiece. We also offer professional maintenance services to keep it looking fresh.

Your consultation is completely private and all about you. We’ll start by talking through your concerns, goals, and preferences. You’ll get the opportunity to try on different styles, colors, and fits—guided by a trained hair loss specialist.
