Customer Reviews of Toppik Hair Building Fibers
Customer Review: Great Solution for Thinning Hair
Summary: 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.
Customer Review: Don't like it -- result looks like fur, not hair
Summary: 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.
Customer Review: Toppik really works for me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my Toppik product yesterday, just 4 days after I ordered it vis Amazon.com, which is very impressive considering I was having it shipped to Sydney, Australia.
The product caused much hilarity when a workmate applied it at lunchtime and suddenly my bald head began to sprout thick, natural looking hair.
I have tried sprays before and they were messy, ran and were unconvincing. Toppik is different. Today I took my time to apply the product and used the plastic insert cut out of a baseball cap to shape my front hairline. The result-fantastic. The girl at the liquor store actually engaged me in a long conversation when I fronted up with my new hair tonight. Shallow? Yes. Do I care if she's shallow? No. Toppik makes me look 10 years younger and I can't wait to test it out in social situations.
Toppik is fantastic. I'd recommend to add hairspray to seal it in though, especially if you have a short haircut and severe baldness s I do. No more 'owls eyes', I have a natural looking hairline again! Absolutely amazing!
Customer Review: It is better than scalp showing..
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi
About 2 months ago I bought the Toppik shampoo, the conditioner and the shake-on hair fibers. I am ordering more shampoo and conditioner for me and now for my daughter, who inherited my thin hair... But the really good thing is the shake-on fibers... sometimes the fibres can look a little spotty on the scalp - not sure yet why that is - some kind of electric charge maybe or perhaps too soon after washing hair? Anyway, if that happens I sprinkle another dusting on and it looks fine. I only need to do a couple of shakes a day, so I think it will last for a long time. I am careful not to touch my hair at the front or it will start to look clumpy and obvious. But it really does help a lot.
Customer Review: Saved my life!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using toppik since Sept 2006. I will never forget the way it made me feel the first time I used it, my problems of hair loss and insecurities were gone. I having thinning hair around the crown and this product works for me. I even got a haircut with it on and my hairdresser had no idea. The only thing is that it does mess up your bathroom with the sprinkles. I tried dermatch and that product sucked. Toppik I cannot live with out. No one has EVER said anything to me they don't know I wear it and they think my hair is thick. I would recommend this product who has thinning hair and your scalp is showing.
