Eh, it kinda does look like bird poop, doesn't it?
Hey guys, Lauren here from Corner
of Hope & Mane, hope you're doing well.
We are talking about Top Full by Jon Renau.
By the end of this video, you're gonna know
the pros, the cons, who I think this piece
is great for, and all that good stuff.
So to kick it off, let me know.
What is your level of hair loss?
Are you in the beginning stages?
Are you kind of in the middle,
or are you like me where your hair loss
is a little bit more advanced?
Let me know in the comments.
I'm really curious to know.
This piece is actually best suited
towards those with a little bit more
of advanced hair loss, and why is that?
This piece is huge.
That is really great for people like me
who have a large defined area
of loss on the top of their head.
Probably not so great for people who
are just starting to thin along the part.
So let me tell you about this piece.
So, again, this is Top Full by Jon Renau.
This particular color is 10H16.
This is what I usually wear on a day-to-day basis.
Typically, for my daily wear,
I wear Top Style, the synthetic version.
It's formally known as Top Secret,
and this is kind of like the big sister to Top Style.
So she is the exact same style, but she is much larger.
So Top Style I think is somewhere
around an eight and a half by nine.
This one is 11.5, I think, by 11.5
So it's really a wiglet, and I'm gonna
show you what that looks like in just a second.
So just to give you an idea, there's a clip right up
front here, there's clips on the side right about here,
there's another set of clips down here,
so kind of right above my ear area,
and then one at the nape all the way down here.
So it goes, it truly does feel almost like a wig.
It's very, very comfortable in that regard,
and that's interesting to say because sometimes wigs
aren't that comfortable, but this is a hand-tied,
stretchy topper, so it kind of,
it like moves with your head.
It's not like that typical topper that sits right on top.
So in a lot of regards, it's more comfortable
than a traditional topper, and I'll
show you the inside in just a second.
One thing I wanna note about this piece,
so this is right outside the box, okay?
I didn't customize it, I haven't de-shined it at all.
You can see it's a little bit shiny.
Right now I'm using a light to film.
I have to do that a lot of times
the way my home is positioned,
it's very, very dark throughout most of the day.
So I usually have to use a light,
but on my blog I'm gonna go ahead
and post some photos in some different light
just so you get a better idea aside from this,
'cause I know it's helpful to see things in different light,
and I also know it's very helpful to see things
right outside the box, so like I was saying,
I did not customize this at all.
The only thing I did was I flipped the part,
I part my hair on the right side, so I did move the part.
I haven't thinned this, I haven't de-shined it,
I haven't cut it, you can see it's a little bit flat
and it hangs a little bit right here.
So ideally I would probably blow dry this back
a little bit here and thin it out a bit,
but for this video I just wanted to show it to you
right outside the box so that if you do decide
to purchase this piece it looks exactly like this
when you get it and there are no surprises.
Jon Renau just introduced this in this synthetic version.
So Top Full has been available in human hair
for quite a while, and I actually have that here as well.
This is the human hair version, different color of course.
This is, what is this color?
24BT18S8, otherwise known as Shaded Mocha.
So it's rooted at the top, it's a nice very dark blonde,
although it looks, well, I guess it's not too, too dark.
It looks lighter on film, but it's been available
in human for a long time, and everyone was asking
for a synthetic version, and lo and behold
they decided to introduce this.
So that's very exciting, and here's a little sneak peek
of the human hair version right outside of the box.
How gorgeous is this piece?
Let me go ahead and take this off
so you can see what it looks like on the inside.
Okay, just a sec.
Okay, I'm back, and here I am looking how I always look.
So you're gonna have to disregard this.
This is built-up glue 'cause I usually glue
the top of my pieces to my head.
That's another story, but so it's dry.
It just kinda looks funny, but this is how I look
almost every morning, and my husband sees it
every single day and he still loves me, so life is good.
My kids refer to it as bird poop.
But let me show you the inside of this piece.
So it is much larger than your typical topper.
It is very stretchy, all of this is hand-tied.
So typically with the toppers, you'll get the hand-tied
top up here and then it's wefted all the way around.
This is hand-tied.
It's gonna sit really close on your head.
It's gonna move with you, it's gonna feel a lot
more lightweight too because of this material.
So like I was saying, it's very large.
This is, I think, 11.5 inches across.
So for those of us that have a large area of loss,
certainly you can see it here and of course this glue
that's dried on, pushing this back doesn't help,
but my loss is very diffuse all along the crown,
so this size topper really could work well for me.
So it does have a poly strip up front as well.
So I generally use this to glue toppers
to the top of my head with a strong hold gel,
just because the clips sometimes are
a little bit sensitive to me in this area.
So you can easily, if you want, remove this clip.
It's just attached with a couple pieces of thread,
and you can glue, you can keep the clip on,
you know, whatever you wanna do.
There's a couple different options for this piece.
The top is a double monofilament
so it's going to be more realistic than a single mono.
Kinda hard to tell on video.
You can kinda see my finger moving underneath.
So it looks like the hair is coming right outside
the scalp which is a great, great
feature to have with synthetic hair.
You can't get silk tops, so double
monofilament tops are really the most
realistic scalp tops that I think you can get.
So the one thing that's interesting about this piece,
and you kind of just have to fiddle with it,
because it's so large, you kind of wear it like a wig.
So there's gonna be a bit of, I don't wanna say tension
but technically that's what it is, right,
so it is going to be secure along the back of your head
because it's pulling on the front, right,
it's a little bit elasticized.
It makes for a very snug, comfortable fit,
but depending on how sensitive this area is up here,
it could pull on this front clip a little bit.
So you're just gonna need to make sure
that you are teasing this area and hairspraying it
to make sure the clip adheres very closely to your scalp
so you're not tugging on those hairs,
or, like I said, you can remove this and glue this
to the top of your head with a strong hold gel,
just whatever is the most comfortable,
but it really, really is comfortable
along the sides and the back of your head.
You know, typically this part is sensitive for people,
as is up here, so with the clips hitting down further
and all along the back of your head,
you don't have that discomfort as much.
It's just really a comfortable piece.
The only other thing that I want to bring to your attention
is because of that tension and that slight pulling
that can happen if your clips aren't secure,
there is no lace front on this piece.
So you are gonna wanna make sure that it's very secure
in the front, very close to your scalp,
because if this pulls a little bit,
this could pull back a tiny, tiny bit.
So if your hair is not integrated well
and it's pulling back a little bit,
you might see a little bit of separation.
So just something to keep in mind,
totally not a deal-breaker, and it's completely avoidable
if you make sure that the clips are fitting really, really
close to the scalp all the way around.
Just something I noticed, because usually when I try these
on for the first time I kinda plop them on,
I don't worry about getting things too secure,
and I notice that after a couple minutes of wearing it,
it felt really good along the back.
I didn't really clip this clip very tight
and it was pulling a little bit
and it was kind of separating where
I had my hair integrated, it was pulling back a bit.
Does that make sense?
Kind of hard to describe.
So if your hair loss is a little bit more
on the advanced side like mine is,
Top Full could be a great option for you to try,
'cause I think it's really perfect for those
who love the feel of a topper, love the convenience
of a topper, but aren't quite
ready to move to a full wig.
Until you are ready, this could be a wonderful
transition piece to move you from toppers to a wig,
or it could be something that you can wear
for a really long time because it does cover
such a large area of hair loss.
So I'm gonna be placing this version,
this synthetic version, as well as the human hair version
in the Hair Try-On Shop that is a perk for members
of the Corner of Hope & Mane community.
So if you want to try these on in the comfort
of your own home, go ahead and check that out
and you can learn all about how you can do that.
This could be a really great compromise
for those that love the feel of a topper
but aren't quite ready to move to a full wig.
So super happy that this came out.

Hey, one more thing before I officially sign off.
I hope you love this piece, I love it too,

to go for that first hair topper or you're just
a little bit overwhelmed with all the options out there,
I'm gonna put a link below and it's to my five day
email series that goes over five aspects
that you really need to be concerned about
when finding that perfect piece.
So check that out and at the end of the five days
you'll have a much better idea of what your first
hair topper should be, or if you're looking
to make a hair topper change, you'll have a better idea
of what direction to go in, okay?
