 Great Solution for Thinning Hair Nov 19, 2007
By clarkworks
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.

The easy answer to thinning hair Aug 25, 2008
By Iris
"A Truly Honest Person"
My hair started thinning on top in my mid-40's. Of course, this is unacceptable for a woman. I tried changing my hairstyle, and even tried that spray-on stuff once. It was obvious.
Then I ran across an ad for Toppik. I was very skeptical, but it was either that or a wig. While I'm not bald, I am thin enough on top to be able to see some scalp around the part, so I was willing to give it a try.
It worked wonderfully, just like the ad said. All I did was sprinkle it on top of my hair (over the hairspray) where my scalp was showing, gently pat it down, and voila! no more thin areas. It truly is totally unnoticeable and will stay on until washed out with shampoo. You can comb and brush through it, and it won't come off on your clothes.
The only thing I found out was that it's best to order one shade lighter than your own hair. My own hair is medium brown and when I ordered medium brown, the sprinkled area seemed slightly darker. When I ordered light brown instead, it blended perfectly. I highly recommend this to other women who are thinning a little on top. You'll be glad you did!

This product is brilliant. Jul 27, 2009
By Peep
I am a woman with very fine dark brown hair, I wear it pretty short and have noticed my hair thinning in many areas which has made me really self conscious lately. No matter how I style it, it would always part and expose my thinning scalp to my dismay.
I found this product accidentally. I had never heard of it and figured, what do I have to lose. I've spent money on other products to conceal my thinning hair, so I wasn't expecting much from this product at all. I received it 2 days after ordering, and I was completely impressed with the results! It is sort of a granulated fine powder that you sprinkle on your exposed scalp, and it does a really nice job with blending in with your natural hair. I part my dry hair in sections where the scalp is most noticeable, sprinkle some in, move my hair around, and then I style it. I really love the results. Be careful not to sprinkle it on your permanent part (where you wear your part) or it'll look silly. Almost wig like. I did think people were exaggerating when reviewing this product, but it's made a believer out of me. It does what it says it'll do.
People, if you're contemplating getting this for yourself, please note, this is not going to give your hair volume. That's not the idea. It just hides the visible scalp and it does it well, and that's it. The powder does go everywhere when you're sprinkling it in, but it's easy to clean. If you get it on your clothes, you can brush it off with no streaking or staining. I sleep with it in my hair and the residual powder is never on my pillow. My only advice is, don't wear this if there's a chance you'll be sweating up a storm. It will most definitely streak down your face if you're not dabbing the sweat constantly. I give this product for those with fine hair two thumbs up.

I was skepical because of the negative reviews but... May 17, 2009
By Apple IPOD User
This stuff really works. I did not think it would or work that well, but you really see results. My bald spot is completely covered up. I bought it from spencer forrest's website(the creator of Toppik) b/c they have a 30 day money back guarantee.
First of all, this stuff is a life saver. I always had to spend time combing my hair, trying to cover up my bald spot, always worrying about it. But now with this stuff, I do not have to worry anymore. The best part is I can sleep with it and it does not come out. It usually lasts for about a day and a half. I have white pillow cases by the way. I am not sure how this stuff holds up in the rain or swimming pools yet. I hope it stays in when I am at the beach this summer.
This is how I apply it:
1)First I shampoo my hair with nizoral or head and shoulders dandruff shampoo and use conditioner
2) then wait I wait till my hair is completely dry, and I do mean COMPLETELY DRY.
3)then I style my hair
4) then I turn the bottle, shake it upside down, and apply it to my bald spot. I also put some around the rest of my head just so the color matches up.
5) then I stand in the bathroom for a couple of minutes(5 should suffice but usually a little less)to let the toppik take hold, and then I use a tissue or some toilet paper to wipe off the excess. This is pretty essential. The 1st time I didnt do this, one could tell that the areas I used toppik in were a different color than the hairs on the rest of my head, but after I gently wipe the excess off, one can't tell. I asked one of my friends, and she could not notice any color difference throughout my head.
4) then I use hair spray. I use Tre Semme but I think any will suffice. Make sure to hold the hairspray farther from your head(8 to inches away).
5)then watch your bald spot go away!
Really this stuff works like a charm. For only $20 its worth a shot and you can get your money back if you dont like it. It really has made a huge difference in my life.

Works great if used correctly. Sep 08, 2007
By Lorraine
"Brown"
Bought this for my husband who is losing his hair.This product works exceptionally well to add an appearance of thickness, fullness and more hair. I first purchased this in the travel size to try it and it worked so well that I wanted to make it last as long as possible. I am not a rocket scientist but it seems that the static charge of your hair can only hold so much and all else will fall out but I spritz it with a fine mist of holding spray and have never EVER seen any on my pillow or clothing. Also I make certain that my hair is squeaky clean before use. I think it is an amazing product.
