Hey Guys, I'm considering a HT, but before I would like to try Toppik with some other products like Shampoo, spray, etc. Which ones would you recommend? I really appreciate your info. Thanks

Thank you social drinker, I did my own research and I can tell you that Toppik has been by far the best thing that has happened to me this year. What a great product!!!! and for that price?? it doesn't get any better than that.

Hey how's it goin.... Bro im 23 years old, and about 2 years ago after my 21st birthday i started noticing that my front line was starting to thin.. sure enough i was able to cover it up since i had lots and lots of hair... Yet it still bothered me.. By my 23d birthday i had lost alot more.. and as my 24th birthday is almost here, im really losing alot.. not just in the front but in the back.. i lost my confidence.. can't even talk to girls anymore... and i feel like ive short changed my self... like people that never met me with my hair... they never knew how good i looked.. the shape of my head doesn't allow me to shave bald... people started noticing how baddly i was thinning..i then went to a hair transplant place in the city... and the guy started talking about shock.. when u implant the new hair.. some of the remaing ones fall out for a time being.. and he said my head would blow up and become red... and i basically couldn't goo out till all that went away... i mean its a real surgery... i kept asking why God, im 23 years old.. i shouldn't have to go through this.. everyone i know has a full head of hair... anyways.. i took a long shot as i became desperate with topik... i thought this stuff had to be BS as i was raised by a father who though everything on tv was bs, and he's probably right, except for this product.. i couldn't believe my eyes after i applied it for the first time.. i looked like i did when i was 16.. it was amazing!!! AMAZINg! like i lost my mind.. started thanking the good Lord for science and technology and topik.. after i went out.. i tried it in the wind.. and everything.. nothing makes it fall out.. ive been with a girl nothing.. i showered with it after i slept with it on for a full nite.. nothing.. still in my hair.. i hair sprayed it and its still there... looks soooo real.. no one can tell.. people didn't even know why.. but people just started saying.. ulook soo nice today.. complements on my hair that i haven't gotten in over 2 years! and no one knows whyl.. todl htem i got a new hair cut guy that does it really nice.... i just pray to God that i don't lose more hair.. if i stay with what i have.. i will use this till my last breath.. it saved my youth.. ah the fountain of youth some people are saying dermmatch is the best.. i haven't tried that yet.. but its next on my list.. as now im a believer

I have been using Prothik for the past 5 years and it works really well. Its also waterproof and i have never had a problem getting caught in the rain. The only problem has been that it does scatter a bit when you spray it on and leaves dust like particles everywhere. Also settles around when you comb your hair. But once its on (and its a spray), its really good

I use Toppik everyday (have been for years) and LOVE the stuff. I use Dermatch when i plan to go to the beach or pool since its waterproof. It takes me longer to put on and more of a mess than Toppik or i would use it everyday.

TOPPIK RULES!

I just got a travel size toppik to try it out. I'm pretty impressed. I'd read elsewhere that it can't do much for your hairline, but that is where I'm using it.

It doesn't bring my hairline down, but I think it really helps thicken it up.

One thing, when using it on the hairline, its a good idea to have a makeup brush handy to dust off surrounding forehead areas, so you don't end up looking like you took a dirt clod to the head. That said, I'm impressed.

To tell you the truth though, its wetted my appetite more than ever to move ahead with an HT.

Hi

Personally, I like Dermatch as it is a little less messy and can be applied neatly.. It would also depend on your degree and type of hair loss. The products are amazing and can really assist in covering up a recent H T as well..
Baldandyoung, I know how you feel. Use the Toppik and I would strongly recommend taking Propecia to stop further loss. This was my game plan until I decided to get 2 HT's done
