Compare Our Collections

A Follea by Daniel Alain hair topper is a partial hairpiece that clips into your own hair to add coverage or volume on the top of the head. A wig covers the whole head.

Toppers are designed to blend with the hair you still have at the crown or part, while wigs provide coverage across the entire head.

If you are still comparing, a free one-on-one consultation with a Daniel Alain consultant can help you compare collections, colors, sizes, and lengths. If your hair has changed suddenly or for reasons you do not understand, it is a good idea to speak with a qualified healthcare professional first.

Human hair toppers can be a better fit than synthetic toppers when you want a more natural look, movement, and styling flexibility. They can be cut, colored, and heat-styled much like your own hair. With proper care, a Daniel Alain hair piece can last many years.

Synthetic toppers may suit you better if you want a pre-styled piece with less upkeep, while human hair requires regular washing, conditioning, and careful storage.

The five Follea topper collections, Petite, Petite Grande, Trend, and Style are each made with 100% European human ponytail hair. The Chic is crafted with Premium European human ponytail hair.

Hair type and grade is specific to each collection across the Follea by Daniel Alain alternative hair range. Check the page of the piece you are considering before you compare.

Follea by Daniel Alain toppers are handcrafted in our privately owned production facility, and every piece undergoes a 20-point quality-assurance process. Every hairpiece we make also carries a unique serial number discreetly embedded in the cap, as part of the Certificate of Authenticity Program.

Base size determines how much area the topper covers and how well it blends with your own hair, so it is an important first decision.

• Petite: 2.5" x 5.25"
• Petite Grande: 3.5" x 6"
• Trend: 5" x 6"
• Style: 6" x 6.5"
• Chic: 6" x 6.5"

Trend, Style, and Chic hair toppers are also available in a larger 6" x 7.5" base size by special order. A Daniel Alain consultant can help you match a base size to the area of thinning and coverage you would like to address.

The main difference is the scalp appearance each base creates. The lace top on the Petite Topper has hair tied directly to the lace material and does not give the look of a faux scalp.

The Style Topper is constructed with a hand-tied skin top with the knotting concealed between layers, creating the appearance of hair growing from the scalp and allows multidirectional parting, while the Chic Topper’s French top, which has no return hairs, creates a natural-looking scalp with a smooth, polished finish.

Follea by Daniel Alain toppers clip into your own hair with pressure-sensitive clips. Clips hold best on strong, healthy hair, so it helps to consider your own hair and area of thinning or loss when you choose.

The Petite Topper has 4 clips, Petite Grande Topper and Trend Topper have 5 clips, and Style Topper and Chic Topper have 6 clips. If you are not sure whether your hair is right for clips, a consultation can help you talk it through.

Length options differ by collection. Here is what each product page lists:

• Petite: 8", 12", and 16"
• Petite Grande: 8", 12", and 16"
• Chic: 10” and 14”
• Trend: 8", 10", 12", and 14"
• Style: 8", 12", and 16"

Ordering a Topper Fit Kit during your consultation can help make choosing the length easier as the side of each try-on piece is 8", and the other is 12" allowing you to see where the length of the hair falls.

Start with the area where you want more coverage, then compare base sizes. Petite and Petite Grande have the two smallest base sizes ideal for early stages of hair thinning. The Trend Topper offers larger lace-top options for early to moderate hair loss, while Style and Chic have the largest base sizes for moderate to advanced hair loss.Every woman's experience is different, therefore these are starting points rather than rules. A Daniel Alain consultant can help you choose.
