Can Toppers Be Fixed to the Scalp with Adhesive Tapes Instead of Clips?

Many people find clips uncomfortable or insecure and wonder if there are alternative methods for attaching toppers.

You can indeed use adhesive tape instead of clips for a more secure and comfortable fit.

Here's how you can do it:

Using Silicone Strips and Wig Tape
1. Replace the Clips: Start by removing the clips from your topper. You can do this by carefully cutting the threads that attach the clips to the topper.
2. Sew in Silicone Strips: Next, sew in silicone strips where the clips used to be. Silicone strips provide a smooth, non-slip surface that adheres well to wig tape. You can use the Silicone Strips by Ellen Wille, which are available in a convenient sheet size of 18 x 13 cm. Cut them to the required size and shape to fit your topper.
3. Attach with Wig Tape: Once the silicone strips are in place, use wig tape to attach the topper to your scalp. [Mono Tape]() is a great option, available in rolls of 5 metres or 25 metres for longer use. Cut small pieces of tape and place them on the silicone strips. Make sure your scalp is clean and dry before applying the topper to ensure the best adhesion.
4. Do NOT stick the tape to hair, this may cause permanent damage.

Benefits of Using Wig Tape
- Secure Fit: Wig tape provides a strong hold, ensuring your topper stays in place throughout the day.
- Comfort: Without the pressure of clips, many users find the silicone strip and tape method more comfortable, especially if you have a sensitive scalp.
- Natural Look: This method allows for a smooth and seamless look, helping your topper blend naturally with your own hair.

Final Tips
- Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test with the wig tape to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
- Care and Maintenance: Be gentle when removing the topper to avoid any damage to your scalp. Regularly clean the silicone strips and replace the wig tape as needed to maintain a secure hold.

We hope this helps you achieve the comfort and security you’re looking for with your topper.
