Two Jars of Hair Product

One product that is being used for thinning hair is topical cover-ups, available as a spray, a cream or as particles. .

One such hair spray is a product called Toppik.  This spray actually forms tiny microfibers that look like hair and are actually made of a material called keratin, which is a hair like substance. This spray is easy to use, taking no more than a minute to apply and is available in many colors, such as blonde, black, and browns.  The only downfall may be it washes out easily, so continuous application would be required daily.

Another spray is Prothik, which is available in various color shades.  This spray works by again reducing the contrast with your hair and scalp, but it also adds thickness and fullness to thinning hair.  It will not rub off with exercise and can even be worn while swimming, but with shampoo and showering, it will rinse out.

Another possibility is a cream called Couvre, which is a concealing cream.  With this product, it conceals any coloring or contrast between your hair and your scalp, any balding part of your head.  It is safe to use following a hair transplant and is safe, non-greasy and does not rub off.  It does however come off when showering.

Finally, in the particle form, there are products which act as hair keratin forming a bonding with your existing hair.  One such example of this is Nanogen, which are fibers that are dyed to various hair colors and coated with a bonding material to promote static electricity.

With this product, you actually sprinkle the Nanogen fibers into your hair.  The fibers bind with your real hair and you can style as you wish, mostly by using your fingers and not a brush.  Once your hair is styled, there is a locking mist similar to a hair spray that helps bind the fibers to your hair.  It is been shown that these hair fibers are not visible.  They will stay in place all day and can withstand rain or wind.  However, they can also be easily removed with shampoo hair washing.

Another similar product is called Hair So Real, which is actually artificial hair particles that are sprinkled on your thinning hair.

These products are best used with thinning hair.  They help maintain fullness and reducing balding spots.  These products are not recommended for an area of complete hair loss.

Additionally, these products are only temporary fixes. They will all wash out with a thorough shower and shampoo.  However, they are great short term solutions.
