Product reviews of Toppik Hair Building Fibers
Review: Don't like it -- result looks like fur, not hair
Beauty product: 2 Stars
The idea's great. And I still use it -- sparringly and seldom. The biggest issue is that the end result looks more like fur or fuzz rather than hair. It's pretty easy to spot by looking in the mirror -- and people around you will notice it in good or decent lighting. Perhaps it's because my hair is not just a little thin -- the thinning, especially upfront is significant.
I think if your hair is just beginning to thin, it's a good solution -- it will create a dark background for your remaining hair, and will probably be hard to detect. If your hair is significantly thin like mine, you will be disappointed with the results. Also, the fibers are so fine and light that the faintest movement of air will blow them away during application -- you need to hold the can right next to your hair to avoid that. And it doesn'e seem to "stick" to my remaining hair. It seems to fall through and stick to my scalp, probably because there are plenty of tiny vellus hairs there still. Also (and probably for the same reason), I always end up with a lot of the fibers in front of my hairline, and it just looks like dark dust. Trying to brush it off with a towel or a hand creates clumps that have to then be carefully and tediously brushed away.
I wish the fibers were a bit larger -- perhaps that would make it work better. But if I am going out at night and the lighting is poor, it works fairly well in reducing the appearance of baldness.
Review: Great Product
Beauty product: 5 Stars
You know, I have to admit that I had given up on hair loss products, just because my hair was falling out like crazy. But once I tried Toppik I was really amazed by the results. even if is just to conceal it. still pretty darn good.
Review: Great Solution for Thinning Hair
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I'm a woman over 50 and my hair has been thinning on the top of my head (sound familiar?). I accidentally found this product online while searching for something just to hide that white scalp area that shows through so badly. I tried Toppik and I tried a make-up type product sold for the same purpose. The make-up was hard to apply and I didn't like the way it worked for me, but when I sprinkled on the Toppik, I couldn't believe the result. This is truely, the best solution out there for thinning hair problems. I've been using it now for almost 4 years and still marvel at the results.
Someday, maybe a hair transplant will be in order, but until that time, this product gets me through day to day. It doesn't grow hair, it doesn't stop thinning, it's not a medical product ... it simply hides the scalp in a very easy to use, natural looking way. No one knows there is anything on my hair ... ever.
The person who had it going all over her face and had it all over her pillow used too much. When I first started, I'd get it in my face, leave some in the shower or on the pillow, but that changed (very quickly) with experience. Like with any new product, you get better at using it.
The company also sells a little atomizer spray attachment that I purchased early on. That works great for keeping the amount used in check and for directing the fibers to exactly where you want them to go.
I've never used the spray that they sell to keep the fibers in place. I've only used my own brand of hairspray. I've also never tried any of their other products. Just the Toppik itself, and the atomizer attachment, so I can't comment on their other products.
If your hair is thinning and you're having trouble styling it in a way that doesn't call attention to your bald spots, you owe it to yourself to try this product. Use it as directed and you'll be very pleased with the results.
Review: Great confidence builder an a very reasonable price!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I really sympathize with everyone losing their hair so please please please, take the time to read my review and thank me in a couple of years!
About me:
I am currently a 28 y/o male and I used this product happily for about 6 months after my second plastic surgery. I wish I had discovered it years ago, but at least I did. I started losing my hair in my early 20's or late teens but didn't realize it until I was 23 or 24. Typically you don't notice hair loss until you've lost at least 50% of it! Anyway, I was devastated. I used to model and was very popular amongst the girls. I tried most all of the hair regrowth products only to later discover most of them were a scam and resulted in me losing more hair when there are actually only a couple things that do work.
About Toppik:
This is NOT a product that will help regrow your hair, but simply mask your thinning hair. This will work well for both females and males. Probably better for females since the more hair you have left, the better it works, so don't cut your hair short or you will look silly! Gently shake it over your head like a salt shaker. Careful not to apply too much or it will end up falling off of your hair and your cover will be blown, but once you get it down, man oh man will you be happy.
When I used it:
I typically used this product when I would go out anywhere where I didn't have to worry about it getting wet. I would use courve in those situations. Don't run your hands through your hair or let girls play with it a lot since the powder can get on hands.
What really works for hair regrowth:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this.
As I mentioned, I tried everything, even the things that were almost obviously scams. I now have a full head of hair and intend to do a video review with before and after pics.
Avodart is the only medicine I would recommend. There is procerin and finasteride which are small and incredibly expensive prescriptions that do work, but the dosage is much too small if you do the research. Avodart works many times better and costs significantly less. I order mind from Canada Drugs at a fraction of American prices. This is also only available through prescription. See, I am not endorsing a product I will profit from! The dosage is only available in 0.5 mg pills, even though research shows 2.5 mg is the ideal dosage for hair loss. This drug is typically used to keep your prostate small (bonus!!!) so you will probably have to explain to your doctor why you are requesting this drug.
The over the counter topical drugs have shown to work, but only at the crown of the head and the amount of regrowth is hardly worth the oily scalp and other side effects.
Now... the other treatment I have undergone is actually plastic surgery. I have had two hair transplants costing me a little over $10,000 total. I am incredibly satisfied and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Please don't get scammed. The sooner you get on Avodart the sooner you can start regrowing your hair. It can only recover up the the amount of hair you have lost in the past 5 years or less so seriously, it's not something you can wait on if you are serious about keeping your hair.
Review: If you like the "Spray Paint " look, this is your product!
Beauty product: 1 Stars
Got this From AMSG enterprises on amazon, and man, what a dissappointment.
It looks like you have a coat of spray paint or dust on your head. I could see if you are thinning, and your scalp doesnt show, it may work, but if your scalp shows at all, this stuff does not work. Unlike the claim of being undetectable, can see this from 10+ feet away.
