Keeping your hair topper looking fresh, vibrant, and full of life doesn’t have to be complicated. In the video, I shared exactly how I care for my topper using the MOOD Colour Protect range — and I’m breaking it all down in this blog so you can follow along at home!
These products not only help maintain colour-treated hair but also restore softness and shine, especially if your topper is starting to feel a little tired.
Let’s get into it
What I Used
MOOD Colour Protect Shampoo
Antioxidant-rich and formulated to protect and extend the life of hair colour. Infused with pomegranate extract to keep hair shiny, healthy, and vibrant.
MOOD Colour Protect Conditioner
Also enriched with pomegranate extract, this conditioner locks in colour, boosts shine, and leaves hair supple and easy to style.
MOOD Heat Defender Spray
A must-have multi-tasker! It protects against heat styling and acts as a great detangler — ideal before combing through your topper.
Step-by-Step: How I Wash My Hair Topper
1.Prep & Rinse
I start by gently wetting my hair topper with lukewarm water — never hot, as that can damage the fibre and fade the colour. Be gentle and avoid soaking the base directly for too long.
2.Shampoo
Next, I apply a small amount of the MOOD Colour Protect Shampoo and work it through the lengths using downward strokes. No rubbing or scrubbing! The goal is to cleanse without tangling or stressing the hair.
This shampoo smells amazing and leaves the hair feeling fresh, clean, and glossy.
3.Condition
After rinsing out the shampoo, I follow with the MOOD Colour Protect Conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends. I let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with cool water This helps seal the cuticle and boost shine.
4.Dry & Detangle
Once rinsed, I pat the topper dry with a soft towel, never rub or wring it out.
Then, I spritz on the MOOD Heat Defender Spray. This helps protect against future heat styling and also makes detangling a breeze.
Using a wide-tooth comb, I gently work from the ends upward until the hair is smooth.
5.Air Dry
Finally, I place the topper on a wig stand and let it air dry naturally. This helps maintain its shape and keeps the fibres healthy and smooth.
💡 Bonus Tip:
If your topper is feeling extra dry or in need of a serious pick-me-up, add in the MOOD Intense Repair Mask. I’ve had clients bring older toppers back to life using this trio, leaving the hair looking glossy, vibrant, and full of movement!
