Bristol Studio - Topper Alternatives
The Intralace and Intralace Minima - an improved alternative to traditional hair toppers
For women experiencing hair loss – especially thinning hair or bald patches – human hair toppers have historically been a good solution. But they come with drawbacks too.
- You need to apply and adjust them daily
- They must be removed for sports, swimming and sleeping
- Because of the above, they don’t necessarily help ease the psychological effects of hair loss
We’ve been supporting women through hair loss for more than 40 years. In 2012 we came up with an alternative to the traditional hair topper – the Intralace Minima™.
Disguising smaller areas of hair loss
As a woman dealing with hair loss, wearing hair toppers comes with its own challenges. Not being able to wear it while swimming or sleep with it can cause anxiety. The thought of your topper slipping, or even worse, coming off, can leave a knot in your stomach.
Lucinda Ellery has developed a practical alternative for women who need to wear a topper - an alternative that allows you to feel more relaxed, at ease and comfortable as you go about your daily life.
We developed the Intralace™ System to help women feel confident and beautiful while dealing with hair loss. Our revolutionary Intralace™ systems is integrated strand by strand and can be worn all the time. It can be washed exactly like your natural hair, providing an elevated alternative to wearing a wig while allowing your natural hair to grow. Without the added stress of dealing with a hair topper, your Intralace system allows you to enjoy all the same benefits as your own natural hair.
Our Intralace systems can be used in lieu of a hair topper, which is typically recommended to disguise smaller areas of hair loss around the top of the head. Whether you're experiencing thinning around your parting or small localised bald patches, our Intralace systems are tailored to you to create a customised solution for your hair loss.
Small areas of hair loss can still have a big impact
We know how devastating hair loss can be, and that even small areas of hair loss can have a huge impact on your confidence. Even small amounts of hair loss around the fringe, parting or crown can have significant emotional effects, preventing you from feeling like your normal, beautiful self.

Practical and emotional advantages
We know from our clients that wearing wigs or toppers can be a constant reminder of your hair loss. While many women experience hair loss at some point in their lives, the need to remove your wig or hair topper to sleep, shower, or any other activity where you have to reveal your natural hair, can make you feel isolated or embarrassed.
The Intralace system solves this problem – using an incredibly lightweight and breathable mesh, your Intralace system is seamlessly integrated into your natural hair to completely disguise your hair loss. Your Intralace system can be washed, styled and slept in exactly like your own hair, giving you back the effortless confidence of your natural hair.
Most importantly, your Intralace system will not damage your natural hair. The fine, breathable mesh gives your hair the space to grow without interference, so you can rest assured that you're making the best choice for your hair.
Tailor-made for your hair
At Lucinda Ellery, we believe that your hair loss is every bit as unique as you are. That's why we create every Intralace system individually to ensure a seamless blend with your natural hair. Your system will be crafted to fit your scalp and exactly match your hair colour and texture, restoring your confidence alongside your hair's natural beauty.
We also know that experiencing hair loss can make you feel disconnected from your femininity. That's why we are so passionate about giving you the luxurious salon experience that you deserve while installing and caring for your Intralace system.
