Wig & Hair Topper Accessories That Keep Your Piece Secure, Styled and Looking New

A hair topper or wig is an investment, and the right accessories are what keep it comfortable, undetectable and beautiful for as long as possible. This collection holds the tools our stylists actually reach for: grippers that stop a piece from shifting, mannequin heads and stands that hold its shape between wears, a scalp part pen that blurs knots along the part line, and root coverage powder for the weeks between color appointments.

The short answer

Most women wearing a hair topper or wig need three things: a gripper ($24.99) so the piece stays put without tugging, a mannequin head and stand ($125 as a combo, or $100 and $30 separately) so it keeps its shape between wears, and a blending tool — either the Scalp Part Pen ($29.99) to soften visible knots along the part, or Root Coverage Powder ($32) to hide regrowth. Replacement clips are $4 for a four-pack.

To keep it secure

The Full Volume Topper Gripper is a velvet-like headband that gives a topper a base to hold on to. The Wig Gripper has a lace front with an adjustable strap, and the Original has a velcro closure. All three come in Light, Medium and Dark.

To keep its shape

Store your piece on a mannequin head rather than folded in a drawer. The tabletop stand clamps to a surface so the head stays steady while you wash, dry or style hands-free.

To keep it undetectable

The fine-tip Scalp Part Pen blurs knots and draws a natural part line. It washes out and reapplies. Root Coverage Powder comes in Black, Dark Brown and Light Brown for regrowth and root lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What accessories do I actually need for a hair topper or wig?

At minimum, a gripper and a mannequin head. The gripper keeps the piece from shifting through the day, and the head keeps it from losing its shape and style between wears. From there, most women add a Scalp Part Pen or Root Coverage Powder for blending, and a set of replacement clips to keep on hand.

What does a wig gripper do, and do I need one?

A gripper is a soft band worn under your wig or topper that gives it something to hold on to, so the piece stays put without you tightening it against your scalp. It is especially helpful if you have fine, silky or thinning hair, where clips have less to anchor into. No glue or tape is involved.

What is the difference between the Topper Gripper and the Wig Gripper?

The Full Volume Topper Gripper is a velvet-like headband made to give a hair topper a secure, comfortable base. The Wig Gripper is built for a full wig: it has a lace front and an adjustable strap closure so it sits flat under the wig cap. The Original Wig Gripper is the longtime version of that design with a velcro closure. All three come in Light, Medium and Dark, and all three are $24.99.

Will a gripper damage my own hair?

A gripper is designed to reduce tension, not add it, because the piece grips the band instead of pulling on your hair. As with anything worn daily, give your scalp a break at night and avoid positioning it in the exact same spot every single day.

What is a scalp part pen and how does it work?

It is a fine-tip pen used along the part of a wig or topper to blur visible knots and draw a soft, natural-looking part line, so the base reads as scalp rather than lace. It is washable and reapplicable, and it is safe to use on hairpieces.

How do I cover my roots between color appointments?

Root Coverage Powder is a pressed powder that covers regrowth and blends root lines on wigs, toppers and your own hair. It comes in Black, Dark Brown and Light Brown, and it brushes on dry in seconds.

How should I store my wig or topper when I am not wearing it?

On a mannequin head, out of direct sunlight. Storing a piece flat or folded flattens the crown and works the style out of it. The mannequin head and tabletop stand combo is $125, or you can buy the head ($100) and the stand ($30) separately if you already own one.

My clips are loose. Can I replace them myself?

Yes. Clips are the part that wears out first, and replacements are $4 for a pack of four. If you would rather not sew them in yourself, our stylists can help — text a stylist and we will walk you through it.
