We've tried teasing, thickening sprays, and root lifters all in the name of plumped-up hair [1], but Instagram has led us to the ultimate quick fix: toppers. Stylist Lauren Ashtyn Guest designed small sections made of human hair that act as partial wigs [2]. Each one clips onto your existing strands, instantly hiding widening parts and thinning. The result is truly mesmerizing: major volume and lustrous shine without sticky product residue.

The only downside is that each piece could cost you up to $1,000. However, the transformation (and ease!) is so remarkable that it may just be worth the investment. Read on to see for yourself, and then shop for a topper here [3].
