Great video. FYI, take advantage of my 5 year experiment. I spent a lot of money doing a trial and error of toppers. I’ve tried Rene of Paris, Jon Renau, Paula Young, Raquel Welch, and many, many more. To date, I’ve always come back to Ellen Wille and this is why. The quality is exceptional. Many toppers are too thick and a dead giveaway. Ellen Wille density is less bulky. The cap is comfortable and covers much of the crown of the head. I don’t really need a lace front because I wear bangs but Ellen Wille lace fronts are beautiful and nice to have if I decide to wear my hair off my face. I usually sew a few more clips in my pieces for more security but that’s a personal choice. Yes, Ellen Wille is more expensive but now that I’ve finished my trial and error project, I feel I’ve got pieces that I’ll wear consistently which justifies spending the money. I gave away those that didn’t work for me. I have gray hair and her grays are the best I’ve found. They hold up for a long time. I try not to shampoo them too much because this shortens their life. Sounds nasty, but you don’t really need a lot of product if you have a good piece. When I decided I don’t like full wigs, I made toppers out of them. Easy to do. All in all, after 5 years of trial and error and a lot of money, I’ve decided to stick with Ellen Wille. Sometimes it takes a little longer to get Ellen Wille because she is in Europe, but I know that when I order. So as you can tell, I’m an Ellen Wille fan. I haven’t been paid to write this either and I’m not a doctor, I just play one on TV!!! Seriously though, I’m just an ordinary customer giving you an honest opinion to help you make an educated decision. No compensation involved in any way! Good luck.

@sandrataylor6712 2 жыл бұрын

I totally agree with you. I’ve also tried many other brands and they can’t compare to Ellen Wille. Yes they cost more, but I feel they are so worth it. As for wigs, they drove me crazy at the nape of my neck with itching so I have made toppers out of most of mine. The comfort level is so amazing, I don’t even feel them on my head. One thing that I wish though with toppers is that they are too long at 12 inches and I have to trim them to go with my shorter bio hair which is around 5 to 6 inches. I’ve been contemplating the Fizz topper and have only seen two reviews. One was positive on Wig Studio 1 Support Group and the other on You Tube by Lauren which was not. So the jury is still out as to whether I’ll get it. I am impressed with this one that Jill is reviewing Effect. I like that it has layers and I could trim it shorter, maybe?

Beautiful topper, Jill. I just bought a JR Top Level and anticipate quite a bit of modifications to it before it is wearable. It's very thick on the top and will need to be thinned out. Effect looks much more natural with the lace front and thinner density. Thanks so much for reviewing it. This will be my next topper :-)

I have a million dollar suggestion for you to keep your topper solidly attached, without front combs! Use a halo wire in lieu of combs. Some of UniWigs toppers have that feature and it works great!

You rock the cool tones and the warm tones!!! 👏👏👏!!! I’m really digging this color on you and perhaps a future purchase on my end....I’m still sporting my Melanie in almond frost from the last 9 months, 5 days ( work hair) a week.

I always appreciate the information you provide and have had good luck toppers you have reviewed. This topper is way too small, doesn't fit a regular size head, and because of that, the hump at the top makes my head look weird. Not a great clip placement design, either. Wished it had been a better fit because I don't have any lace front toppers. I will look forward to future videos if you get more lace front toppers.
