You are probably holding the shaker too close to your head. I hold the shaker 3-6 inches from my head and try to spread it evenly. Also, don't put too much on at a time. After you apply one even layer, gently pat your head, so that the fibers will fall into your hair. Then take a loose brush and brush through your hair. After that, repeat the process again until you get the look that you want. The hairline is the toughest part, so that will take some experimentation, but the rest of your head should be easy to do. You have to have about half the normal amount of hair for Toppik to work. If not, it will just look like coal on your head. Keep trying--the stuff is great!

Hello, I think I may have an answer for some of you using Toppik & think it's thinning your hair. When I started using it I would leave it in for a week or so and then washout and reapply, and when I did, I noticed lots of hairs in the shower on my hands as I washed. This led me to believe I was losing more hair. I believe that it was because I never really touched my hair while Toppik was in, so all the hairs that fall out normally would still lay on my head for a week. I noticed that when I shaved my head once and let it grow back in, I would wash my hair every day and there was little to no hair fallout even after it grew to about a half-inch (none on the pillow either), and this was all before I got on Propecia (which I did last week). I'm using it now again and wash my hair more often. I have a new job now and can afford to buy more of it. Hope this helps.

Do you use Toppik or some other hair thickener?

Any other person who has had an HT can jump in on this one as well?
