Why Base Material Matters
The base is the part of a topper that sits against your scalp and creates the visible part line. Its material decides how realistic the parting looks, how breathable it feels, and how long it lasts. Hair quality is identical across bases — only the foundation differs.

Which to Choose
- Monofilament: best value, breathable, durable — the right first topper for most.
- Silk Top: when a flawless, scalp-like part line matters most (e.g. very visible parting).
- Lace Base: for hot, humid climates and freedom to part in any direction.
Care by Base Type
Mono and silk top are robust — gentle wash, air-dry on a stand. Lace edges are delicate — avoid pulling and trim stray lace carefully. All bases last 18-24 months with sulfate-free washing and nightly removal.
