Review: Toppik Hair Building Fibers
Before turning to surgical hair transplants, many people who suffer from hair loss look for simpler ways to remedy their thinning hair, receding hairline, and bald spots. It’s understandable—even though hair transplant surgery is totally effective and permanent, it’s also an invasive surgery and all other hair loss solution routes should be explored beforehand. Introducing Toppik®, a brand of hair care products designed to improve the cosmetic appearance of hair loss. Unlike most other hair loss products, Toppik doesn’t claim to improve the biological hair growth cycle or even make your hair thicker. Instead, Toppik aims only to improve the appearance of unsightly hair loss problems temporarily. Read on to learn more about Toppik’s products and claims.
Toppik Hair Building Fibers
Toppik Hair Building Fibers are a staple in Toppik’s product lineup, and their most popular item. The fibers are made out of keratin, the same type of protein present in hair, skin, and nails. They cling to existing hair, filling in sparse spots and giving the illusion of more hair. Toppik claims that the fibers are virtually undetectable, even from very close up. The Hair Building Fibers are available in black, dark brown, medium brown, light brown, medium blonde, blonde, auburn, gray, and white. Toppik also says that the fibers won’t come off in rain, wind, or perspiration—just a combination of shampoo and water.
Using Toppik With Other Products
Since Toppik only aids the cosmetic appearance of thinning hair, many people will want to use a hair growth product in addition to Hair Building Fibers. Toppik won’t interfere with any oral medication, since it does not contain any medication or materials that penetrate the scalp. It’s also safe to use in combination with minoxidil (the active ingredient in growth stimulators like Rogaine®). Just apply the minoxidil to the scalp before Toppik, since the Hair Building Fibers my disturb the chemical’s ability to penetrate hair follicles.
The Verdict on Toppik Hair Building Fibers
Toppik is one of the only hair loss products that doesn’t claim to treat the subject of hair loss itself. Instead, it treats the cosmetic effects—which is what most people with hair loss are most concerned about. Unfortunately, Toppik is only a temporary fix that must be applied and removed daily. It’s simply unrealistic for people with permanent hair loss to use this product as part of their daily routine. Toppik is a decent option for people who have a special event and want to fill in their sparse spots for just one night.
