Disguising thinning areas and adding fullness.

There are a variety of “cover-up” products that are applied to the scalp and/or hair in the thinning areas to mask a person’s baldness. The cover ups also increase the look of fullness of thinning hairs. These products can work surprisingly well at creating the illusion of fuller hair

Some physicians advise their hair restoration patients to use such products to enhance the look of fullness in their transplanted areas. These products can also be used after surgery to hide the immediate surgery.

Toppik Hair Loss Spray.

Toppik is an effective and safe product that covers up the scalp’s thinning areas.

It’s the way that Toppik accomplishes this that’s really unique. When applied it coats balding areas with tiny, microfiber "hairs". These microfiber hairs are composed of the same material as real hair, keratin. These microfiber hairs form a well blended mixture of real and microfiber hairs.

The product is safe and can be used for men as well as women with diffuse (overall and evenly spread) hair loss. Toppik’s users have claimed that it can’t be detected, even from two inches away.

Toppik washes out easily with any shampoo. It is available in 8 shades: Auburn, Black, Blonde, Dark Brown, Gray, Light Blonde, Light Brown, Medium Brown, and White.

This application process takes less than 30 seconds. Once Toppik is applied, the thousands of static electrically-charged microfibers intertwine with your own hair. These microfibers have been proven to stay firmly in place, regardless of harsh weather or wind.
