I've been using Toppix for awhile
Now, it's a little pricey so I decided to try this. This stuff clumps up EVERYWHERE... even when I was brushing my hair there were clumps in the brush, on the sink.. I lifted my hair and I can see goobs of In my hair, it looked like dirt. It gets t in my pillow cases... sheets.. embarrassing. It's so light it gets in everything. Will be returning

I've tried many of the powders and this one is the best so far. I have salt and pepper grey hair and it blends in really well. It itches a little bit, but you just pat it and it's fine. I also like that it's composed of natural fibres.

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.

Forget the higher priced/lower quality Toppik. This is rock solid. The price and the consistency is superior. I put it in my Toppik spray kit if needed. Why pay more???

I will add pics shortly.

Very happy with this product. I have thin hair and this helps my hair look a little fuller in the thinner areas.
