Hair Fibers for Balding Areas & Thinning Hairlines for Women & Men. Plant-Based Hair Powder for Instant Volume and Coverage. Hair Building Fibers, Non-Itchy, Easy Wash Off. (Blonde)

I’ve been using this product for several years now. I have dark brown thinning hair on top with the sides still looking ok. I used to comb my hair and fix it, then put the powder on, and then spray it. There was a lot of flying away of the powder and not real good control. I always had to clean the sink up and the counter.Now, I do it this way: get your hair fixed like you want it, then give it a very light spray of your hairspray. I use extra hold. Then, I put on the powder. My wife says the result is really nice, really natural looking. After I’m finished, putting the powder on, and then put on a final application of hairspray. Much less mess and a great look! Lasts all day and I’m using less of the powder for a better look.

Well, let’s see...I ordered this AND purchased a bottle of Toppix from Walgreens because I was impatient.I’m an impatient person. There- I said it.Anyhoo...I tried the Toppix and I hafta say that I liked it. The only thing I like BETTER about this particular product is that the dark brown color is richer and more accurate to “dark brown”, whereas the Toppix dark brown is indistinguishable from black.A lot of people have commented about the necessity of an applicator and I can’t comment on this because I haven’t used one.But I’m going to comment anyway. Because that’s who I am.After attempting to apply this on my own, I did some due diligence when it came to applicators, but none of them seemed impressive enough for me to take the plunge. I’m not made of money, ya know. I wish there WERE an easier way to apply this stuff, but I’m at a loss to figure out what it would be and where to find it. If y’all have any ideas, find me willya?Applying hair fibers is just like frosting a cake. If you do it right, it looks all sexy and presentable. Mess it up, and people are going to stare at it with pity. Since I am forced to use only my own two hands to get the job done, here’s how I did it:1. Get a towel. A big one. Or an apron. Or a full body hazmat suit. This stuff will get EVERYWHERE, especially the first few times you use it.2. Hold the bottle about 3-4 inches above the application site. Any closer and you’ll get polka dot spots that match the pattern of the applicator cap and you’ll look like you have a disease of the scalp. Any further away and it’ll be all over your house and lawn.3. Ladies (and some gents, I suppose): DO NOT apply your makeup until AFTER you do your hair. I cannot stress this enough, because...4. You will need to wipe your hairline/forehead/entire face after application. This stuff gets EVERYWHERE.5. Once you apply it, “fluff” your hair with a comb. DO NOT LET THE COMB TOUCH YOUR SCALP. If you do, you’ll have stripes and they look stupid. Seriously. Trust me.6. If you need to get your hairline and DON’T have the funky jagged comb that Toppix offers, use a small-toothed comb against your hairline and shake conservatively. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up with a hairline like Frankenstein’s monster. I highly recommend the jagged comb, though.7. I haven’t yet tried the “hold spray” recommended for use with hair fibers, but I’ve used regular hairspray and it works fine. Not sure what it’ll do to my hair after sitting on it for three days, but whatever.8. Stop running your fingers through your hair. Your hands will resemble a coal miner (unless your fibers are blond or red, in which case you’ll look like you’ve been stroking French fries or playing with beets).9. Wind doesn’t seem to affect the fibers. Not sure about sweat, but I’ll keep you posted. Haven’t seen any on my pillows either.The most important thing to remember is to BE CONSERVATIVE. Much like decorating a cake, or nagging your spouse, KNOW WHEN TO STOP. Otherwise, you WILL make it worse.And to those of you who think my use of humor is minimizing the seriousness of issue, you should know that I’m 45 and I’m going bald. I have to be funny, or I’ll cry.Update: I have since tried the Toppix spray filler in dark brown and it’s a great product! Much easier to use than the loose fibers. Doesn’t come off on your hands if you tend to run your fingers through your hair a lot like I do (bad habit, I know). The only cons are that it smells like hairspray, feels a bit stiff on your hair and costs more than the powder, especially if you need to apply two different colors to get the right shade. On the other hand, you can give your hair a thorough brushing immediate after use and you don’t have to worry about streaking.

Does exactly as described and looks Natura!

My hair has gotten very thin on top and these fibers cling to my scalp so it doesn't look as thin. This product doesn't actually thicken my hair but the thin look is not quite as noticeable. Buy a color close to your hair color.

I've been alternating between this brand and the popular name brand from in-store that starts with T and ends in K. I can't tell much of a difference between the two except for price. The shakers are the same and the quality of fibers the same. They're both just as messy to use but there's no getting around that. I'm dealing with hair thinning and shedding from a nutrient deficiency and stress, so it's nice to be able to rely on something decently priced like this until it's sorted out or indefinitely.

I bought the blonde color because I had been using the light brown and wondered how a lighter color would go with the grey I am getting in my hair. The light brown has worked well and not bothered my skin; however, after putting on just a little of the blonde I broke out in a massive case of hives all over my body. It got very bad and only went away after I took several antihistimine tablets, shampooed my hair twice and dealt with the pain and itching for a while. I don't know what is in the blonde that isn't in the light brown but it's something I don't want to come into contact with ever again.

I’ve been very skeptical of nearly every hair loss/thickening product I’ve seen, but this stuff actually works and makes a big difference for me. Just check out the pic. I tried my best to make it an actual before and after pic with same lighting angle and everything. I probably could have applied a bit more to the middle, but as you can see - as long as you have something there for it to cling to (and it doesn’t need to be much) it works wonders! I dry my hair, apply messy look paste/cream, the apply the thickener pat it in, and use hair spray after (just in case). You can’t even see it on close inspection after applied, just wipe away any excess that drips where you don’t want/need it.

I started using hair fibers 10 years ago when my hair started thinning in my mid to late 20's. Back then, Toppik was the only brand out there. Truthfully I wasnt 100% happy with it because the medium brown was too dark and their light brown was too light, and would turn greenish if I sweated or got wet!!! So about a year ago i switched to HTM and the light brown matched my hair color perfectly, and have had no discoloration issues since. I should note that it is a different product. It is a bit less fine so it can clump or look unnatural if you do not apply it correctly. The instructions will also say this. But once applied correctly, it looks fantastic, lasts all day, and doesn't discolor with moisture. Oh, and it's cheaper too!!!
