XfusionKeratin Hair Fibers - Light Brown (15g)

I have one word for those who have equivocal results (given their degree of hair loss) - experiment! There are many shades of this keratin product, and mixing to match is often necessary. I have salt and pepper hair, heavier on the gray, lighter on the brown. I mix the gray product with light or medium brown (depending on what I have) at a ratio of roughly 5:1.It also will require experimentation to find the right amount to use. I put it on still damp towel-dried hair, holding the shaker about 6-8" above the head; then I gently and briefly tap/rub my fingers across the area of the head in an attempt to "stabilize" or "set" the fibers; they don't do a lot of good sitting on the scalp, but rather when positioned between individual hair shafts. Therefore, if TOO much is applied in a given area, it may appear more like a scalp dye or cosmetic cover-up.With my degree of hair loss, a gentle dusting is all that's required. Others may require much more. I must say I've never had a problem with any running, staining, appearance on skin or clothing, pillowcases, or what have you. That is based on personal experience with the amount that is required for my needs.It really does work and does what it is supposed to do. However, one must use it in a way that optimizes the result and that requires some getting used to (a week or so?)I'm an MD specializing in hair transplant surgery (HTS); I see many men and women who use this and/or Toppik (I personally find them interchangeable), and I recommend it frequently. Unfortunately, here is a point of hair loss at which it's not much of an option anymore. Realistic expectations are required.Thinning is simply the penetration of light onto the scalp; several factors enter into the "coverage" equation: density, or the number of follicles per unit area (cm2 or sq inches), caliber of hair (shaft diameter), curl or lack thereof, etc. Two-tone hair is also generally a plus (some light is reflected, some absorbed, thereby "fooling" the eye). High contrast between hair color and skin color is typically a negative as well (eg, I am Caucasian, and if I were to dye my hair dark brown or black, my thinning would be MUCH more evident! High skin/hair contrast)My comment above regarding realistic expectations is assuming that one has gone through the "break-in period" and figured out a technique, AND that the degree of hair loss is not too great. There MUST be enough hair there for a bit of "cross-linking" to take place, i.e., for the fibers to "connect" hairs to one another and give greater blockage of light. Imagine a thatched roof over a hut; the denser the thatch (corresponding to hair density), the larger and more robust the thatch itself (corresponding to hair shaft caliber/diameter), and the more "crossed" or interlinked the individual thatching is (corresponding to keratin fibers), the more light will be blocked and the less light will penetrate to the floor of the hut (corresponding to the scalp).These fibers, as I understand them, are barbed, that is, they are similar to fir tree or pine trees branches, with multiple short needles projecting off of the main stem (or somewhat similar to a bird's feathers). As such, they have some capacity to "interlink" with hair shafts and with one another. Denser thatch (back to that analogy) and more blockage of light. In this way, the APPEARANCE of thinning is diminished.If in fact there are too few hairs in an area, or if those hairs are too severely miniaturized (decreased in diameter), this will not work well or at all.Cheers,TB

Product is perfect. It does what it’s supposed to do. Very happy with the results.

No one will be able to tell you're thinning/balding.I sprinkle it directly on my scalp, then rub it in. It'll give you lift/fullness ....if you want it. It'll also stay in with strong winds and yes, even when swimming. I'm dead serious. I've been using it for years. I won't buy generic.Depending on your color, you may have to mix it with another. But DON'T let that scare you. Buy the color you think will be right. You can always mix it with other colors for a custom match. I do because it's worth it.

Recently I have started losing more hair on topAnd this product helps tremendously. It looks like I have a full head of hair, so I would definitely recommend it to those that have hair loss. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey

This is a great product for thinning hair. Been using for years and have recommended to others

My hairstylist recommended I get this for my thinning hair. It's easy to use and he also recommended to buy the extra Accessory that goes with it as it is much easier & you dont use as much if you puff the little color fibers on then to shake it into the hair.

I do have that bald spot just like every other guy. I've purchased this a few times but was always a bit disappointed that when I would apply it, it would just make it's way thru my hair down to my scalp and then there would be dark clumps. So, one time I decided to experiment. What I do now is apply some hair spray before I shake the fibers onto my head. Doing it this way seems to make the fibers have something to stick to.Also, like someone else has brought up, I get the medium brown, but it is a really just brown. So when it would make it's way to my scalp, the clumps that developed made look like I had a skin discoloration.

Perfect shade on me. Doesn’t come out until I wash my hair which is great. Makes hair look much thicker. Covers my scalp. A little goes a long way. I don’t go out without applying it to my scalp
