Toppik - Things To Know

 

The most basic thing you need to know about Toppik is that it is just hair fibers. 

 

Toppik is a shakable product that you can put on your scalp to cover up those hair loss patches. It is not a long-term solution or does not dye your scalp. It is a loose fiber product that you can shake out and cover up any areas of the scalp that are showing. 

 

The official website for Toppik shows some pretty intense yet exciting cases where people have lost quite a bit of hair. They simply shake it over their heads, and the product miraculously covers it all up. 

 

If you are able to find a pretty good match for your hair color, this will work amazingly well! 

 

What’s in it?

Let’s talk about what this stuff is!

 

We have put in our research at WomenWire, and undertook that the product is actually made up of keratin hair fibers. It got exciting, so we further delved into more research here. 

 

So, when we say keratin fibers, what does it really mean? 

 

Well, keratin can be found everywhere! It is found in your teeth, your fingernails, your hair. Keratin is also found among wildlife and other animals, like the beak of Toucan Sam on your breakfast cereal Fruit Loops are made out of keratin (It is true! Real Toucan beaks are made of keratin). What’s really interesting is that even wool is made out of keratin! 

 

So, this is basically what Toppik is! 

 

When you take the product out of the bottle, Toppik actually has a hairy-ish appearance and texture. It almost looks like hair has been finely chopped into this powdery-hair-like product. But it is all made out of keratin derived from wool products after applying some chemicals to them to get the texture right! 

 

Basically, a process is undertaken to really process the keratin out of wool texture! The product derived from this process is further dyed to match your desired hair color, which can be easily applied to your scalp. 

 

P.S. - Toppik is expensive! So watch out for other products that look like it. 

 

Is there more? 

Yes! Quick-fix hair fibers for thinning hair even come with a special fiber extending spray. These sprays help strengthen the bond between hair and the product. For example, Toppik’s Fiberhold Spray can offer you even more longevity when it comes to the product’s application and holds. So, your product lasts longer until your next hair wash because of these sprays. 

 

Any regular hair shampoo can lift off the fibers out of your hair, leaving your head clean and all set for the next application. 

 

Hair fibers for thinning are the ultimate beauty hack! You can use just a tiny pinch to cover up a larger surface area. It will only take a few seconds to apply, and you can fake your hairstyles incredibly! You can even use hair fibers to cover any telltale signs of hair extensions. 

 

How Do Quick-Fix Hair Fibers For Thinning Hair Work? 

 

Once you sprinkle or spray quick-fix hair fibers for thinning hair, they will not shift or bleed away. They will not wear away as well. They have longevity power in terms of holding on to your hair. Your hair fibers also come with a robust, natural charge that creates a magnetic effect with your hair, binding them to your scalp and natural hair. This charge helps hide your hair thinning areas and creates an illusion of fuller, thicker hair. 

 

Hair fibers work best for people with minimal to moderate hair loss or hair thinning concerns. It works wonderfully well in cases where hair is thinning yet is still present on the head. Fibers will need something to hold on to. 

 

So, your head will be like a tree with branches, and hair fibers are like leaves. The leaves will require branches; otherwise, it just doesn’t work! 

 

Will These Quick-Fix Hair Fibers Get On Your Clothes? 

 

 

People are often concerned about quick-fix hair fibers getting on their clothes! WomenWire tested it out to break all myths! 

 

Yes, it is a concern that hair fibers are messy and inconvenient. They could fall onto people’s faces and around the clothes and on the floor or the carpet. But these concerns are wrong. 

 

Hair fibers like Topppik will not do that. In fact, when we tested out the products and their application, nothing got messy throughout the day. We did not face troubles while using the hair fibers in context to our clothes, our surroundings, and even our pillows. It will stay in one place, i.e., on your scalp, until you shampoo your hair! 

 

How To Use Quick-Fix Hair Fibers? 

 

Applying To And Around Part Line 

 

Brush your hair and style them as per your desire. Apply the fibers around the hair surrounding your part line. 

 

Applying To And Around Hairline 

 

This is a little tricky, however, not completely unachievable. All you need to do is apply the hair fibers product to your natural hairline. Your hairline is actually a little thinner towards your forehead. Apply your hair fibers a couple of millimeters away from that. In this step, you can use a comb to prevent fibers from falling on other surrounding areas. 

 

Applying To And Around Crown Area 

 

Brush your crown area, and use the hair around your crown in a way it camouflages your entire scalp. Apply the hair fibers evenly all over this area. After your third time doing so, you will not need a mirror! 

 

Final Words:

Hair fibers for thinning hair are becoming increasingly popular around the globe. They are extremely affordable and easy to use. You can use them on the go by just brushing your hair or following your regular hair routine. They are dry, odor-free, and offer natural coverage on your scalp.

Fibers do an excellent job at creating an illusion of thinning hair and covering up your patches in an instant.
