Heather.... You are amazing! I love your honesty and how you bare your soul to help us! You provide the most realistic value in your videos! You're definitely THE go to person, our guru, for research and help in decisions for alternate hair. This is so helpful because I'm playing around with the thought of a topper... As I'm waiting on Kendall by HM to arrive on my door step this Monday, Dec 4th... Which, I JUST ordered her from your site 5 days ago... And had you guys wait 1 more day to fulfill cuz I was having a hard time with color choice, which your customer care specialist, Kelly V.... helped me tremendously via emails to decide. But I digress, and sorry not sorry for the shameless plug for your amazing customer care people! Anyways, I'm thinking down the road , to get a topper to alternate with the wigs..as my work hair.

I was searching for wiglet videos and so glad I came across yours! What an amazing bubbly personality! I’m positive you could promote anything and people would hang on every word you say. If you’re not a TV personality, you should be. And thank you for all the great information and tips.

Heather, you are my #1 reviewer when I really need some in depth information. Thank you for all the creativity you bring to your reviews. I never get the impression that you are "selling", but rather "teaching" when you do a review of any kind. Hope that your recent on line problems are being resolved and that you will be with us wig information seeking people!

Thank you for the sweet comment, Dorothy! We're glad we're able to help! 😘 - CysterWigs Team

You're amazing Heather. Thank you for your help with hair issues.

[@viay3063]

Your hair has grown so much! I am new to the “Wig World” and have been watching a ton of videos. My bio hair is not even close to a topper yet, however, I am hoping in the future this is all I will need. I found this video ( and ALL your videos) to be SOoooo informative and helpful! Thank you for your detailed, in-depth reviews. Truly appreciated!

[@maries31964]

I have hair like yours and I hated my topper so I shaved my head and wear wigs and love that better! Love your videos!

[@heatherlink4649]

Hi Why did you dislike your topper please

[@MyLifeInDebt]

Do you find the wigs to be itchy and hot? I hate my wig that I ordered so I ordered a topper from cysterwigs

[@Tzuriah]

Thank you so much for the info!!!! I needed this video! I’m going thru the second round of medicine induced hair loss. I’ve lost so much this time that I’m looking into extensions/toppers, etc. It’s not chemo, but my MS meds that are the culprit.

[@elleehunter-jones2337]

I absolutely LOVE your videos. They are so very informative and its like talking to a really good friend. THANK YOU! I always learn from your videos

[@CysterWigs]

Hi, Ellee! So glad you find the vdeos helpful!

[@cyneathiajones-gray9191]

Excellent demonstration. I NEVER thought about a "Topper" until now! If I had not seen the demonstration, I would NOT have known you were wearing a "Topper." It looks VERY nice and Natural Thank you for sharing.

[@CysterWigs]

So glad this was helpful to you Cyneathia!

[@Queenread82]

Thank you! All of the tips about fit and texture are so important. I have some wave (curls at the bottom when long and frizzes when humid) and straight hair on top would look weird.

[@CysterWigs]

Thanks so much for the comment! I hope you are doing great today!

[@suzenlee1895]

So kind of you to make this video. Thank you. And I totally agree, it looks very natural and beautiful...as are you.

Suzen, thank you so much for commenting! You are truly amazing! I hope you are having a beautiful day today!

[@suej3959]

Hi Heather. Loved your video. I’m in Australia where there isn’t the same amount of choice with wigs and toppers as there is in the US. I just bought a topper that I’m happy with, but after watching your video I’m realising that I probably should have been given more advice about weight and how to take it off without damaging my thinning, brittle hair. At the moment it’s winter here so my bio hair is sitting straight and blends in with the topper, but I’ll have the same problems as you in summer when it’s humid and my bio hair turns frizzy. A wig might be too hot in the Australian heat so It’s difficult to find the best solution for all year. I love your positivity and humour with regard to the distressing problem of hair loss. Seeing your video has made me feel that I’m not alone and that it’s not the end of the world!

[@CysterWigs]

Thank you so much, Sue! I'm so glad you feel that you're not alone in your situation. There are loads of women all across the world in the same boat as us, and feeling like you're part of a larger community of people who understand really helps lift your mood a little, doesn't it?

[@CookieZ3353]

This is the best topper/extra hair video I've seen. You're very good at teaching without just showing us just-how-good-you-look-in-your-toppers/wigs like most of these women are doing in their videos. Did you go to wig shops at first or just order right from the web? My first wig shop visit wasn't too successful. I didn't learn anything except that I need to cough up $1500K for a topper made of human hair.

[@CysterWigs]

Thanks so much for the comment I hope you are doing great!

[@juliehanson6158]

Heather you saved me from making a mistake cuz I did or do want a topper for summer. Thank you for the info. Btw..that topper looks really good on you.

[@samalurodriguez9055]

I saw this video too late and had already bought the easiPart HD that is narrow. I picked up some tips from you on how to possibly make it work, but I really like the Top Crown base you showed here. My hair is thin all over like yours but just longer. Thank you for your video but more importantly, for being so down to Earth and open about hair thinning. It made me feel more accepting of my own hair loss after watching a few of your videos.

Appreciate your teaching technique you are so kind! I wondered how you deal with a wig in summer time ?

[@CysterWigs]

Hi Diana! Lighter colors reflect the light and heat up less, open caps are coolest because the wefting let the air through and keep you cool, and if all else fails try a cotton wig liner to soak up some of the sweat! cysterwigs.com/products/cotton-wig-cap-liner-individual

I am glad that you have found Heather's videos encouraging. We Cysters have to stick together and help each other out. You got this! ;) -Bridgett

[@cameronbrauns4856]

Thank you for a very informative video. It actually has info a prospective topper/wig wearer would need. Because the hair on top and around my face are very light, I.e. white, going back into light ash brown/blonde(I always called it silver mouse!), I guess it is not as noticeable a person with very dark hair maybe. When the wind blows though.....I worry. I am almost 79, but would like to look nice when I go to church or other outings. My hair hair has always been fine, wavy to curly, now medium length, which looks best on me. Your talk about the clips giving someone a headache is a little daunting. I am glad I hit on your video before doing anything foolish!

[@CysterWigs]

I'm so glad this helped you, Cameron! I hope you're having a great day! :)

But decided that Im done with the expensive dermatologist when one sudgested our next step could be to remove 6L of my blood separate the white blood cells and inject them back into my scalp over a course treatment. I had a wake-up call. Im not sick but Im not living. I love my toppers and trying live life to the topper fullest. lol windy day hater and no amusement rides for me but life goes on.

Thank you for your very informative video. JMO. I think you would look cute with a a lighter color topper for a slightly sun bleached look. Or you could go wild and crazy with a platunum topper. For myself Ive been checking out toppers and buns to get me thru a hopefully temporary hair loss from stupidly using Medifast to lose weight. My problem is I cant find a match for my medium copper auburn hair. Every thing I try sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@CysterWigs]

Thank you, Sharon! I normally shave my hair right down to act as natural wig-Velcro, but I do have a couple blonde wigs in my collection like that. Y'know, just to mix things up a bit. ;) Reds are tough to match, that's for sure!
