Serenity Silk Top Topper Review
I’ve been wearing this piece almost exclusively lately because
1) I wanted to give it some wear and make sure it held up well and
2) I’m obsessed with the color 🤩
I had a random flight attendant compliment my hair at the airport and was floored when I told him it was a hairpiece 😉
This is an overall review of silk tops in general and how I feel about Melissa from www.serenitywigsandtoppers.com and this piece she gifted me.
There are always going to be pros and cons to different pieces because there are so many factors that come into play when looking for the right piece for you.
What works for me might not be the best option for you and vice versa. It’s important to do your homework and research the different options before making an educated decision on a piece.
This has been my experience and I appreciate your support in respecting my honesty and trusting me to always tell it the way I see it.
I offer some solutions to some common complaints about silk tops that I think are worth trying and have helped me love them even more.
How do you feel about silk tops? Any other tips you’d like to offer us? 🤗

It would be nice if you could film your hair stylist styling your toppers. Love this topper!
What is the cost of this topper please
Her prices are around $1000–$1200 usually
This price is higher than my budget. Do you have a similar synthetic option that would match this cap & style? Or w a mono cap?
Thanks for this video. It’s very pretty on you.
Thank you! If you can do a lighter density option the Aura topper from http://www.uniwigs.com is a super affordable option. It has the realistic scalp and cap size but it’s mostly wefting so you’d have to choose which part you want. I have a review video on that one too!
That looks GORGEOUS on you!! ❤️ I have 3 Serenity toppers and love them all! I got a “Bonnie” topper (my first) in 2019 and it’s still in mint condition, even after washing more than I probably should have. Melissa, the owner, is terrific!!
Can you show the process of how to add that volume, as opposed to just saying what you do? It’d be so helpful. Thank you
Do you do treatments on it? Like in a ziplock?
When I did this review I hadn’t washed or treated it yet. I just washed it yesterday and used a deep conditioning masque on it but I don’t put it in a ziplock bag because the conditioner can loosen the knots and cause shedding sometimes. So I always keep the conditioner away from the roots and wouldn’t put it in a bag for fear it would transfer to the roots.
I have a topper with just 3 clips, and I find it’s not stable enough. Any tips on how to make toppers stay in place?
Hi,you can wear a wig grip under the hair topper,it will be helpful.
This looks so pretty on you and I love the color! I also love how honest you are in all your reviews. Thanks again for helping me in this journey!
Hi Lacie another fabulous helpful video. Can you suggest low-density toppers that lay flat?I like to wear my hair in a low ponytail…. thanks again
Thanks for your suggestions Lacie , you are always so helpful,,Hope all is well
It looks so beautiful on you! Love it! Is this topper called serenity?
Love this topper! It really brings out your eyes! Just a question about color – on the website, the Bonnie is described as a medium brown with honey highlights and the Bruna says it’s dark base with caramel highlights. You had mentioned this topper had a dark base so I just wanted to make sure it’s the Bonnie. My bio hair is a little darker than yours, but yours blends in so nicely.
Hi Lacie, I intend to look more into the Serenity, but I’m looking for a low-density, larger based topper. I have my eye on an 8X9 base piece but it’s 130% and that’s way too much for me, even after thinning out, I still get that “dome” look. Every topper I wear (currently the Claire) ,leaves tension alopecia and I need a larger base to let my spots regrow.
Hey Suzanne! It’s a tough trade off because the larger bases will naturally have more hair and therefore be heavier—especially a silk top. Maybe look into a lace top with a larger cap. That will be lighter than a silk top. Do you have a smaller face? Or forehead? That can also make a larger cap a little harder to accommodate. Sometimes it can overtake your face and that dome look that you’re talking about can happen as well. But a lace top might be a better option for you ☺️
@Lacie Rodriguez Received my new topper today! Whewww! Thank you for your review! I love it! Hugs to you for all you do!
@Lacie Rodriguez I bought it from Serenity, and whoa hits awesome. I’ll send pics in about 3 weeks. Need to schedule for a truism, etc.
After watching your videos I’ve decided to buy this topper! I was nervous because it was my first time buying a topper but I love it. I’ve gotten compliments at school and I finally feel confident. Whenever I feel guilty about wearing a topper I come back to your channel because it makes me feel better❤️
Lacie, do you know where the serenity toppers are manufactured? I’m having a hard time for anyone answering this question. Thank you so much. You look so pretty.
Thank you! Almost all alternative hair pieces are manufactured in China or other parts of Asia ☺️
@Lacie Rodriguez well, that stinks. So sad everything is made in China
Melissa gets her toppers from china? For $1000? She lost me as a customer. To bad.
They all do. It’s a trade and they are literal artisans who make these. This is why they’re so expensive. They are incredibly labor intensive. I can’t speak for any company in particular, including Melissa’s, but from what I know about the industry this is the case.
Hi Gemma, could you give me the website you hit the topper from please, I’m struggling to find it xxx
Heres the website—she doesn’t have this particular color in stock right now but hopefully she’ll get another in soon ☺️ https://serenitywigsandtoppers.com/collections/all
Hi Laci, have you ever tried the McKenna toppers? I was wondering what your thoughts are on them. I was looking at them and they don’t show pics underneath the front and I can’t tell if there is adequate amount of the hair along the front trim to hide it…thanks!
Yes I’ve tried a couple—I don’t own any but from what I’ve seen/heard the silk caps are very similar to other brands like Serenity and Toss.
Have you washed this topper now and would you still recommend it?
I returned a serenity topper. It was a bubble top on me
Hi! I’m looking for my first topper. I want something really nice with a full crown. What do you recommend?
Do you like volume on the crown? Are you looking for something lower or higher density? And how long are you thinking if you measured from middle part to ends?
I’ve been on the lookout for a topper and recently found your channel…..which I’m loving! You give a lot of information and tips. I have long light, almost white, grey hair. I know I don’t need an exact match, but I can’t find anything close enough that’s 18 inches. LOL I guess women with lighter/white, grey hair shouldn’t have *long* hair.
I’m really liking this topper! My question is, can this topper be dyed to get a better match or would dying it damage it in anyway? What’s your thought or opinion?
