How to wear your cranial prosthesis
- Step 1: Choose Your Hairstyle- Decide how you want to style your hair with the topper. Toppers can be styled using heat tools like hair dryers and curling irons, ensuring you achieve your desired look while keeping your hair safe.
- Step 2: Position the Topper- For smaller toppers, consider placing them closer to your hairline. Larger toppers should be centered on the top of your head for optimal coverage.
- Step 3: Secure with Clips- Once you’ve positioned the topper, securely fasten it by scooping and snapping the silicone-coated clips into place. Ensure each clip grabs close to the scalp to achieve a snug and secure fit.
