Toppik Hair Building Fibres Powder, Medium Brown, 27.5g Bottle - for A Thicker-looking Hairline, Crown and Beard, Instant Thinning Concealer for Men and Women ​

These fibers have absolutely changed my life.I have been using these for 4 years, and honestly can't imagine having lived without them since I started going bald.I found these on a youtube video and initially purchased them pretty sceptical about it. However, after application, and the fact I couldn't notice the different between the fibers and my own hair, I was instantly hooked.For the last 4 years I have maintained a full head of hair, every day, despite having now lost about 70% of coverage from the top of my head. I have, luckily, managed to keep a decent spread of thin hair across my head, which is essential for it to work, as Toppik cannot work where there is no hair at all, although there are a few exceptions**At the very corners of my hair, I have nothing left. Because these are only small areas, and are surrounded with hair on 3 other sides, the Toppik will hold, as long as it is not disturbed (so no hats, hoods, or scratching). This sounds like a massive pain in the backside, but you soon adapt and hardly notice the changes you're making to essentially maintain a great looking hairline.I have tried competitors - having used fibers for so long I can't be blamed for looking elsewhere. However, I always come back to Toppik - the quality of the fibers is unbeatable.A few tips - 1) definitely buy the spray applicator. It will give you better accuracy and a more convincing look. Sometimes the quality of the applicator isn't great, and this really lets Toppik down! But I've managed to get one on the third attempt that works perfectly.2) Buy the 12g size first to try it out. Buy it with the applicator. Once you try it, and love it, KEEP the empty 12g bottle. Move on to buying the larger bottles, and use these as refill packs. I still use my old 12g bottle, from years ago, as the actual applicator. It is the perfect size to grip and hold while you use it on your head. The larger bottles are more fidgity. I just pour the fibers from the larger bottles in to the 12g one.3) Only half fill the 12g one when filling it back up. The about of fibers released thereafter will be less intense and more realistic. If you use the container filled up to the top, you will give a thicker covering which sounds great in principle, but once you start using it you'll understand its actually better to use less, in a more controlled fashion to provide the more realistic look.Finally, have a look at the pictures. I AM now finally going for a transplant in a couple of weeks, as I have saved enough now to do this. But definitely, I know I'll still use this to thicken my new hair further post-op.I've attached pictures with and without. The results speak for themselves.

Really quite remarkable product. Does what it says, exactly as it says. Produces a little bit of dust but not a problem. Easy to watch demo’s on You Tube only to find that the product doesn’t quite live up to the demo but this one really does. Takes a little bit of practice to get it just right but once you have developed the technique that suits you, it’s really quite quick and easy. It is quite expensive but I expect one to last two months so it’s not really that bad. As long as you have ‘some hair’ a fine covering or just a few strand this will product will do a brilliant and lasting cover up. Wind and rain seem to have no effect (you need to use a light spray of ANY hairspray). Difference to your appearance is amazing.

Brilliant product! Makes my thinning hair look much denser and disguises the scalp. Life changing if you suffer with thinning hair. My one tip would be that the darker shades are much more effective in my opinion. I used to be blonde and the blonde colours are somewhat yellow and are visible on the scalp. Since going darker, couldn’t be happier with the product. I would also advise to go one shade darker, but also have a shade lighter for when your colour fades if you have dyed hair. Note, There are cheaper brands which are effective too, but probably shouldn’t mention them on this review.

You need some hair coverage for this to work. I'm female with androgenic alopecia,so I have hair but it is incredibly thin. This keratin powder is best dusted on the thin patches very sparingly.I tried 2 different 3g bottles for colour testing (dark and med brown). I actually got bested results from mixing them together.Part your hair into sections working from back to front, bottom to top. Once you've exposed the scalp, carefully tap some Toppik onto your hair/head. Then gently arrange your hair over the top, and repeat with the next section. Lots of youtube videos show a good technique. A little misting of hairspray keeps is in place.It thickens up what you have, but mostly covers up any white scalp from showing through. It can get on other things if you're too impatient, but the powder is dry and doesnt stain. It's like tiny tiny little fibres. I use a towel on my shoulders just in case.If you rub or scratch your scalp, it will appear on your hands! But if you leave it alone, then it stays in place just fine. I haven't seen it falling onto my clothes during the day.I tend to wear a hat in rain and high winds, but haven't noticed any clumping when my hat is off.Too much Toppik tends to cluster around follicles and look fake. So less is moreIt doesnt brush out, it has to be washed out. But I havent noticed any itching or irritation with this product. When under close scrutiny by family, they didnt notice the product until I really pointed out I was using a fibre powder. Since my family got a lot closer than the general public, I am certain it would withstand general scrutiny by strangers. This was a real confidence boost as I am simply not ready to go for wigs just yet!
