Hi, so this is a topper review about the new genre, no top smart topper 12-inch in the color toffee truffle, which is also called FS, 6/30 slash. 27. It is a great medium brown to dark brown topper with these fantastic, beautiful, caramel blonde highlights all the way through that come all the way up to the root. This is not a rooted topper, so if you are looking for really top or make sure you pay close attention to that, I do want to start this video off that I am in no way affiliated with or paid by genre know or where I purchased this Topper from which is wig studio one, I will leave a link in the description as well as some codes that you can use in order to get some 30 % off. If you do choose to buy from wick Studio One, they didn't just want to start off it. Just let them let you know. This is not a paid promotion or anything. I did purchase this. This is my own topper, so a topper. If you're not familiar with it, it's not a wig, it is made out of synthetic hair. So this is not human hair, the synthetic, but it is not a full wig it clips into your bio hair and is meant to integrate with your own bio, hair, bio hair. Being your natural hair, which is what you see down here, this particular topper is new to John Renu. What'S new about it, is this lace front? So, as you can see right here, my bio hair is underneath. This lays in front of all the way up at the front of my hairline, to create a new hairline. I have a lot of hair loss right at the front right here on my crown and my part, which you'll see when I take it off, but the purpose of this. I think this one's good at me, but you can get right up close and it's meant to create its own natural hair line. So you can't tell that it's not my hair, so this is the first lace front. Topper by genre know that they put out, which I think they did a fantastic job. It'S great, it's beautiful! It'S like I said this. One is a 12 inch version. It also comes at an 18 inch version. It has a monofilament top which mimics the scalp summary. It'S not very part of very well, I just got it, but this mimics, your scalp, so you can part it anywhere. You want, you don't have to have a part. You have a left hand, side right, hand, side whatever you're most comfortable with and yeah or you could just have no part at all. So you could pull it all the way back like this, and you would be able to have like a little poof here. If you wanted to move the part entirely whatever you wanted to do so it's a very good quality lace, front topper. I do recommend if you are going to pull it all the way to the front like I have that you get some wig tape. I have some my tape here. I have it some wood tape here. This is what I currently use. It'S double-sided tape. It'S completely clear! You can get this on Amazon. It'S Walker tape, lace, front, hair tape system. This goes directly to the underside of your wig or your lace front, you're, going to attach it to the skin, not the hair and then in order to take it off at the end of the night. You just soak the end of an alcohol swab and I'm sorry soak the end of a cotton swab in some alcohol and put it under there and kind of go across that will loosen it up without actually ruining your own hair or your skin. So it will dissolve it for you, but I do recommend you do that, because this does move quite a bit back and forth. It is again it's only attached via Clips, so if you are going to go on all day, I definitely recommend that you use the wig tape to make sure that it lays flat. I didn't do that because I'm going to take it off to show you the inside and I wanted to be able to take that off easily for you, but usually Android earlier this morning. I'Ve had it taped. Did it move out? Looked very natural. Couldn'T tell that. I was wearing anything so real, quick, I'm gon na take it off for you and you guys see what my bio fraction looks like in case. You are also experiencing hair loss, so it does have five clips as a normal standard. Drummer, no wood. Actually, this one has a sixth clip, but I have removed that one generally toppers come with Clips here here and here in the back. This one has another clip right here. I don't actually use that clip because, as you'll see, my hair loss is from inert androgenic alopecia, which means that my hair all around here is what I'm losing. So I don't have a lot of hair right here, so unfortunately it was really painful for me to try and clip that clip, so I actually just removed it and you'll see that that saw was already in the plan from John Renault. So when you do have these Clips just kind of be very careful with your own hair, you don't want to rip your hair out, so just be very careful when you're taking it off at the end of the night go as you can see, my hair loss Is all right here so didn't really have a lot of hair for it to clip into and it would end up doing more damage than good. So let's take a look at the inside of the cap, so here's the cap it has. We used to have the sixth one right here, but I actually like I said, as you can tell I can get on the Sun. I cut the threads there and that's on purpose. They actually make it so that you can do that. So if you see here and this one there's four points where the threads are attached, you just simply give an exacto knife or a pair of scissors and very carefully cut that off, and you can remove that sixth clip. If you want to. If you have a lot of hair by all means, leave it it'll help. Keep that front secure for you, but this is the lace front. This is John Rizzo art lace. It already comes pre-cut for you, it's a fantastic lace front, it's very pale! So it's going to match with pretty much all skin types. So you have your your six clip here in the front which I removed your Clips here on the side and I'm so sorry that Suns getting any of us is the natural light that I have. Then you have your two clips on the side in the back portion of your hair and then down here at the bottom. You have your last clip all the way in the back. This is the monofilament partying system, and I told you about you can part it any way you wish I took. I took glue, put mine in the middle just for what works. For me, it does come with a part on the left-hand side here and if you do want to change that, you're gon na have to tell you some steam or something to get it to lay right. I still need to do that with mine, says white kept falling in my face. So when you go to put this on first thing, I do of course, you're going to use your wig tape if you are using that just cut off a little section, and what I do is I stick them here and here about one to two inches from The middle of my part - and so it only end right here on my forehead - you don't want to get them in my bio hair. Hurts trust me, so what you do from there once you have the wig tape on you'll, simply put it on your head right. Approximately, where you want it to be part it to where you can see it and get it right where the hairline is that you want it and then you're going to hold that very secure and proceed to clip these clips into your bio hair. So you're going to scoop it under and then push down on either side. Until you hear it click, then you do the same thing. On the other side. Grab your bio hair underneath scoop it under your bio hair, push on either side on tear you hear it! Click you're going to repeat that process for each one, you'll get really fast at it. If it starts to pull or snag, don't live with that readjust it. You don't want to put a lot of tension on your hair, especially if you are experiencing hair loss. The last thing you want is to put more tension on your hair, so once you have it use a wide tooth comb Jean Renault makes one. I don't find any difference between a jordo comb or this particular comb. So I didn't waste the money I already had. One use a wide tooth comb and you want to do that, because using a paddle brush on synthetic hair can create a lot of flyaways can cause breakage. You don't want to do that. You want to keep the hair that you paid money for it's nice. It'S possible for as long as possible, so just use a wide tooth comb integrate your own bio care in there and there you go I'll, go ahead and quickly turn around for you. So that's topper, like I said this is the 12 inch version. I I personally love it a lot. It had a 18 inch version from John right now, the top secret that didn't have the smart lace and it came to do about right here. Well, my hair is longer. I found that the longer fibers do tangle more when they're synthetic they also tend to clump up. So you could tell the difference right away between what's real hair and what's synthetic hair, probably after about 30 minutes to an hour wearing it. I'Ve worn this all day and I it still looks great: it's not clumping, it's not tangling. I don't know if that's a new fiber by John Renault or if this is simply just because of the length it has entangled hasn't given me any problems. So again, I definitely recommend it this again. In case you're warming. It is the toffee truffle and that's the code. There FS 6/30 slash 27 and you can order that in both a 12 inch and an 18 inch topper, it's great for people like me that have to bring it all the way to the front. So I really hope this was an educational tutorial. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me and if you want to know where you can purchase this, just Google search, but I personally order mine through a wig studio, one that's w IG studio and then the number one dot-com there is A code that I'll put in the link below called beautiful you all one word and that'll, give you 30 % off. It'S still and it still works today, 30 % off your entire order. I got this one for I think 189 and that included the shipping after after the coupon, so yeah a great price, great peace. I personally think it looks better than any topper that I've currently tried and I've tried quite a few. So I hope you enjoy have a great day. Thank you.
Comments
Holly Hayes: Thank you so much for sharing this - I have struggled for years with hair loss and the insecurities that come with it. Styling my hair is not fun, more of an exercise in covering bald patches. This video gives me hope and I appreciate so much that you were willing to share such a personal thing with others.
Judy Anne: It looks TOTALLY natural!!! I would have never guessed this was a topper

Stephanie Kowalchuk: Thank you, this was great! This topper looks incredibly natural on you. Absolutely lovely!
Linda Curce: This looks incredible ‼️ I felt the same as another reviewer, honestly wondered when you were gonna put it on. And was so admiring how shiny a beautiful the color was on you. I will definitely check this piece out. New subscriber BTW. Keep them coming. I know you indicated that the 18 “ gets more tangled but I feel I’d need that length. Or possibly slightly longer than this one, BC my hair is longer. Thank you for this great video ❣️
Barb K: That was an excellent review Trista. The part, the hairline and the density looks so real. Did you have to tweeze the part at all? Thanks so much for sharing this review. I’m going to go on Andrea’s website right now and check it out.
Sandra Capra: Thank you for showing everything about this topper.l just ordered my first topper named Top Notch,but l will definitely order this one next.l am new to this and my hair is blonde on blonde so would need something close to my own.You did excellent with providing us all the details.You are a very beautiful young lady!
usual suspect: Wow. It is the most beautiful hair topper that I have ever seen, with a light density. It is undetectable!
Wig Studio 1: I really like this video and how you shared how to remove the clips if customization is needed. I personally haven't seen this one in person yet, so this was super informational. Thanks Trista!!
Fran Harmon: At first I was wondering when you were going to put the topper on. It looks so natural!
KlassyKat45: Love it! I actually ordered this a couple of days ago, I have bangs and not as much hair loss but i managed to find a topper with a cap (no lace) that will cover a lot so I can use it for a while. Excited!! it'll be about a week or before I get it.
Angela Brown: That looks super natural and thanks for showing us. I have an 18 inch version en route. Dumb question but how do you avoid getting your bio hair caught up in the wig tape?
Kim Sloan: Trista, this is really helpful and you sell the heck out of that topper. I’m worried about not being able to heat style it. Any suggestions for getting it to behave out of the box? Man, I wish JR made a 10”...
Vivienne Andersson: At first I thought you had not put it on yet, definitely the most natural looking result I have seen
Dorothy Butler: Wow! First off you are gorgeous!!! Secondly, amazing job explaining how to install the topper and what to do and not do. I honestly thought it was your real bio hair!! Amazing to watch! I have subscribed to your channel because you did such a great job. I'm losing my hair in the same pattern as you, and I want to try a topper. You have given me the inspiration to try it. Thank you!!!
allykatt1849: Very, very pretty! Looks so natural...omg! Thank you for your review! The color is beautiful. ❤️ ✌️
Sarah Groves: I just came across this video today. Your bio hair looks exactly like my bio hair. I bought this topper today in the color Hot Cocoa. I can't wait to get it. Your video was so informative!! Thank you.
. . . 0101O: That’s awesome! Thanks so much for sharing! Can’t wait to get my first topper
Annie B.: Thank you for the review. The Toffee Truffle color suits you well. It looks like it's growing right out of your head...I would never suspect you were wearing alternative hair!
J L: This is the BEST video showcasing this color!!!! Although it is orange/warm in the sun according to your other video, it does have enough of the 6 darker shade to make this a color I could wear. Thank you ever so much for this video! What a help!
Gina2190: Lovely topper I’d never have known , I need to cover my thinning bits and this topper is dreamy !
LoveMyDog: I can't begin to count how many times I have watched this video. This topper is so beautiful on you, and you provide excellent information. My hair is borderline 12," and I think yours is, too. Is the texture of your bio hair close enough to the topper that it blends in, in the bottom back? Or do you iron your own hair? I'm not sure my straggly not-so-smooth hair won't poke out the bottom. But I'm going to try this topper anyway, from the same vendor you used.
Cassie Brown: I realize this video was from a few years ago, I'm just getting into the world of wigs/toppers. I love the color of your topper. Very pretty. Thanks for sharing your story of hair loss.
dana bougon: My goodness! You are beautiful. If Jon Renau was smart they’d recruit you as a model. This has to be one of the most amazingly natural looking wig/topper I’ve ever seen in a video.
Trice Lehmann: Looks amazing. Love the color of this topper. Thanks for the review.
Janet M: Thanks for the great video. There are not too many toppers videos out there. I think you did an excellent job showing this. I also think you look fantastic in this topper.
Nancy Simonds: This looks stunning on you!❤️❤️
Avi Halberthal: Hi Trista, the topper is stunning on you. I got the same, just in 18 inch but i can't work the front lace to lay flat. I still do have a bit more hair at the hairline but not so much that i can blend it as you will do with normal topper (not a lace front) and thats why i got this one, but because of all that hair - the front bit looks weird and you can see the front lace very clearly. I can send you a pic. What can i do? Will cutting fringe/bangs help? thanks xx
LittleM: Thanks to your review I finally got and received the top smart in dark brown, it's pretty!! however the smart lace on the front is a bit shiny and pop out at my hairline, do you have any suggestions on hiding it? I wanna try cutting it but am nervous about ruining the topper.
Blueblankey03: Hi! Thank you for you wonderful, informative reviews.. you’re an inspiration. I have been looking for this topper...can’t seem to find it for sale. Do you know if they stopped making it? Thank you!
Susan R: You are very beautiful girl! I'm sorry about your hair loss. I also have hair loss but more on the size of my head. And it's it's kind of devastating, but we do what we have to do. But I must tell you it is so refreshing to see a wig tutorial with a beautiful face that isn't loaded down with tons of makeup. You have minimal makeup on and you don't have those you'd spiders on your eyes! You look beautiful! And the topper does look amazingly natural!
Tuna Fish: I have androgenic alopecia too, this was very helpful,thank you!
Sheila Sheila: Thank you so much! I just ordered this color. You look soooo pretty! Thanks girl;)
thefaceofthecentury: Looks wonderful, thank you!
Red headed Sojourner: Just subscribed. I have never seen one of these and I so need this!! Thank you so much for sharing. I have Lupus and have lost "chunks" over a 3 day period.
Jen Jones: Hi Trista, How long do these toppers usually last if you wear every day and wash once a week?
Ana-maria Garro: Hiya, thanks for a great review would love to have this piece. Have you trimmed this one as I have the JR top wave 12in and it looks a lot longer?
AngelMomma 0806: Looks so natural!
Kim D: I finally see how to put the topper close to the front. I’m very thin right at the hair line. That is my problem area. Thank you so much!!! xo
fredweasley33: This was very helpful-- we have a similar hairline so I was able to see what it would actually look like. And you are beautiful btw! Take care.
Tammie Hilliker: I love the color. You have done the best review I have seen yet. You need to be hired for a professional consultant. Thank you.

Sarah Bee: It really does look great! If you didn't say anything I would think it's your natural hair. My hair has been thin all of my life but I'm noticing even more so the older I get. What about the rain or getting it wet for instance if it snows? Will it frizz or be noticeable?
