Hi! I'm Ashley, and I'm so glad that you're here.
After years of struggling with hair loss that continued to progress, a few bad wigs that never left the house, and internet searches that left me feeling hopeless, I took the plunge and jumped into the world of alternative hair full-time in 2020 when I purchased my first human hair topper, and I haven't looked back. Now I want to share what I've learned in the last decade of my struggle with you, wherever you are in your journey with alopecia.

Together, we can build a community that promotes inclusion, destigmatizes hair loss, and educates everyone. Together, let's celebrate life beyond the locks - because it's a good one. 💕

​@lifebeyondlocks what Silk or mono toppers do you recommend?

[@hammons01]

Please goodness just tell me the best topper to buy for the first time. I don't want starter topper, I want a great topper. I have watched hours of video trying to figure this out. I can't trust what they look like under the lights and on camera. You have lots of experience I value your opinion.

[@lifebeyondlocks]

Send me a DM on Instagram with a pic of your hair. I'll see what I can do to help. I am currently out of town on bereavement, but I will check as soon as I am able.

[@lifebeyondlocks]

I promise to help. ❤️

Yes bangs

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking.

[@joanneleib5887]

I wish I knew this before I bought a mono top I hate

[@lifebeyondlocks]

Oh no! Why do you hate the monotop? Can I help?

Hi Ashley! I love all the toppers you have in this video. Would you mind sharing what brand and colors you are showing please? Im looking at buying a highline topper and am back and forth on what to get. You seem to have the same color palette as me. So I’m guessing that what looks good on you will also look good on me. Thanks so much!

[@lifebeyondlocks]

Hi Jenny! Thanks for reaching out. I'm showing Highline Lexie 4 roots here and the Uniwigs Claire in Vanilla Butter Blonde. A similar budget piece to the Highline is the Uniwigs Savannah. It is the same cap construction as Highline but it has highlights that go right to the root instead of balayage style. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out; I would love to know what you decide to do!

[@Clouds457]

This is soooo hard. Been watching hours and hours of videos on toppers and it’s just so difficult to know what to get. 😩

[@Clouds457]

Ashley, I listened to your video a couple times and I’m still confused. (on vacation with a grandchild so interrupted a lot, lol.) anyway, let me sum up what I think you’re saying. A silk top is lighter weight easier to cut bangs into and more realistic looking. The mono top is warmer, the knots show more, and bit more difficult to cut bangs. Is all that correct please?

[@lifebeyondlocks]

Silk top is heavier, but has a more realistic scalp appearance. Subsequently, it is warmer. Bangs can be cut into both, but the heavy hairline on a silk top means it may be easier, yes. Hope this helps.

[@islandyyt]

Hi Ashley, I’d really like your recommendation on a topper. This would be a first time for me. I can send you a pic but I’m not on Instagram.

[@lifebeyondlocks]

You can send me an email: [e-mail] 😊

Hello Ashley, hope your mom is doing well. - I have extremely thin hair, and even after 12 years of wearing topper I cannot find one with thin hair similiar to mine. Do you maybe have a recommandation for a producer of topper with thin hair? Thank you very much. Viviana from Switzerland.

[@lifebeyondlocks]

Hi Viviana. Thanks fir the message. When you say thin topper, do you mean the overall density (how many hairs are on the topper), or do you mean that each strand should be of a finer hair texture.

[@vibati2889]

Hello Ashley, thank you for answering. I mean the hair structure itself. So hair because it is so thin is very fluffy. The hair on the toppers is - I believe - asian hair and very thick. It is so heavy it just pulls down and blending with my hair is almost not possible. @@lifebeyondlocks

Hello

[@lifebeyondlocks]

Hi Laura. I'm sorry, but I didn't see a question.
