Hair toppers, sometimes called wiglets, are lightweight hairpieces designed to cover specific areas of thinning or hair loss on the scalp. Unlike full wigs, they do not cover the entire head but blend seamlessly with your natural hair, adding volume and coverage exactly where it is needed. We offer Classic, Frontal and Halo toppers, each custom made from Russian hair, colour blended to match your natural shade and designed to give back confidence through discreet, natural coverage.
Toppers are best for women experiencing partial hair loss or thinning in specific areas of the scalp. A Classic Topper is ideal for general thinning at the crown or parting, a Frontal Topper is suited to recession at the front hairline or temples, and a Halo Topper is designed for more advanced thinning where there is not enough hair to support full clips. Because toppers are smaller than full wigs, they feel lightweight and are easy to wear daily, helping restore confidence by creating fuller, thicker hair.
The Classic Topper is the most familiar format, chosen for general thinning at the crown, the parting or the top of the head. The base is shaped around the exact area you want to cover, while the outer edge meets your own hair so that colour, length and movement continue naturally into your finished style.
It suits women who still have a strong frame of healthy hair at the sides and back, restoring the top rather than changing the whole silhouette. Small clips sit in the supporting hair around the coverage area, positioned from your measurements and checked at fitting for comfort and security through a full day.
Like every piece we make, a Classic Topper is made to measure from Russian hair over 8 to 12 weeks, with mono, silk or hybrid bases chosen around scalp appearance, airflow and weight. Made to measure Classic Toppers start from £1,050.
The Frontal Topper is designed for recession and thinning at the front hairline and temples, the pattern many women notice first at the mirror and the hardest to disguise with styling alone. The piece rebuilds the hairline itself, with fine hairs set into a soft edge that reads as skin where it meets the forehead.
Because the front of the head frames the face, realism here is everything. The hairline is mapped to your own, density graduates the way natural growth does and the parting can be worn where you have always worn it. The result photographs naturally and holds up at conversation distance.
Frontal Toppers suit recession from traction, hormonal thinning and frontal hairline loss, and are made to measure from Russian hair over 8 to 12 weeks. Your consultation confirms whether a frontal or classic design will blend most naturally with your own hair.
The Halo Topper answers more advanced thinning, where there is no longer enough strong hair on top to support the clips of a traditional topper. Instead of relying on the thinning area itself, the halo design draws its security from the stronger hair around the sides and back of the head.
That construction makes it the gentlest option for fragile hair. Nothing pulls on the very hair you are trying to protect, the weight is carried where your hair can comfortably hold it and the coverage on top remains full, soft and completely natural to the eye.
For many women the halo is the bridge between a topper and a wig, keeping their own hair in the picture for longer. Halo Toppers are made to measure from Russian hair over 8 to 12 weeks and start from £1,100.

What Makes Our Hair Toppers Different?
Unlike most wigs and toppers made from processed, silicone coated hair and mass produced in China, ours are custom made from Russian hair to ensure they look completely natural and are fully tailored to you. We are the only company in the UK to offer three different types of custom made toppers: Classic, Frontal and Halo. As there is no one size fits all solution, each topper is designed to provide coverage exactly where you need it while blending seamlessly with your own hair.
At every stage, from selecting the hair to choosing the base and the final fit, you are involved in creating a personalised piece rather than purchasing an off the shelf product. We colour match by selecting a few Russian ponytails, drawing hairs from them and recombining them into larger strands that are sewn into the topper, a multi tonal blend that matches your natural colour without dye.
We then guide you in choosing the most suitable base, a breathable mono base for comfort and airflow, a soft silk base in the parting where a natural scalp appearance matters most, or a hybrid base combining both, silk at the parting for realism and mono elsewhere for lightness. Once your design is confirmed, your custom topper is ready within 8 to 12 weeks.

At Tatiana Karelina, we offer classic toppers, frontal toppers, and halo toppers, all custom made from Russian hair for a natural looking result.
Our hair toppers are suitable for women experiencing partial hair loss or thinning in specific areas of the scalp. This may include diffuse thinning at the crown or parting, recession at the front hairline or temples, including frontal fibrosing alopecia, or more advanced localised hair loss where a wider area of coverage is needed. During your consultation, we assess the pattern and extent of hair loss and recommend the most appropriate topper.
Unlike most wigs and toppers made from processed, silicone coated hair and mass produced in China, ours are custom made from Russian hair to ensure they look completely natural and are fully tailored to you. We are also the only company in the UK to offer three different types of custom-made toppers: classic toppers, frontal toppers, and halo toppers. Every piece is designed around the wearer, with personalised colour blending, base selection, and fit.
We achieve a natural colour match by selecting several Russian ponytails and drawing strands from each to create a bespoke blend. These strands are then recombined and sewn into the topper to create a multi tonal result that matches your natural hair without the use of dye. This allows the finished topper to blend seamlessly and look more realistic than a flat, single shade.
Each topper is made to suit the wearer’s exact area of coverage. During your consultation, we assess the thinning area, take the necessary measurements, and guide you on the most suitable topper type and base. This ensures the finished piece feels secure, comfortable, and natural once fitted.
We offer a range of base options depending on the type of coverage and finish needed. These include mono bases for breathability and a natural scalp appearance, silk bases for the most realistic parting, and hybrid bases that combine different materials in one topper. Hybrid bases are ideal when you want the benefits of more than one base type in different areas of the piece.
A hybrid base is ideal when one base type alone cannot give you the best balance of realism, comfort, and support. By combining different base materials in one topper, we can tailor the piece more precisely to your needs. For example, silk may be used in the parting area for the most natural scalp appearance, while mono is used in other areas for breathability and lightness. Hybrid bases are especially useful when different parts of the scalp need different levels of coverage, softness, or structure.
The right topper depends on the area and level of hair loss. A classic topper is best for general thinning at the crown, parting, or top of the scalp. A frontal topper is designed for recession or thinning at the front hairline and temples. A halo topper is suited to more advanced thinning, where there is not enough strong hair to support traditional full clips. During your consultation, we assess your hair and recommend the option that will give the most natural and secure result.
Once your topper design has been confirmed, it is usually ready within eight to twelve weeks. This timing allows us to create a fully custom piece tailored to your colour, base, size, and coverage needs.
