Taking a Look at Toppik Hair Fibres
Toppik hair fibres are designed to be applied to areas of your scalp where you have small bald spots or patches, or where your natural hair is thinning. The purpose is to cover those areas with fibres that are indistinguishable from your real hair and that gives the appearance of a full head of hair. eBay has a great selection of them, and you can choose the quantity and the fibre colour that matches your own hair.
How is Toppik applied?Spray the hair fibres onto the affected areas of your scalp. Follow the printed instructions carefully as they give good guidance on how to achieve the best effect. Consisting of keratin; the same substance that real hair consists of, Toppik hair fibres have a natural electrostatic charge that causes them to bind with your real hair. Theyre designed to be weather resistant, too, and to stay in place through wind and rain showers. However, if you live in, or are visiting, an area where gale force winds and torrential rain are the norms, Toppik recommends its Fibre Hold product for greater security.
Do Toppik hair fibres interfere with hair restoration treatments?No, if youre undergoing any treatment for regrowth of your natural hair, Toppik hair fibres will have no effect at all on the progress of your treatment. In fact, they can provide a very useful stopgap until your hair restoration treatment takes effect.
How long does an application of Toppik Hair fibre last?A single application can last about a week or until you wash your hair, whichever is sooner. Washing your hair easily removes all fibres, ready for the next application.
