Okay, I've never used an concealers but just in case I need to go out in public post HT what do you guys recommend. I want something easy. I'm leaning toward toppik. Im just looking for some advice. Thanks!

I would be careful with concealers in recipient area post HT due to possible clogging of grafts although ive heard this is more a problem with dermamatch and couvre than toppix. Still im not taking a chance, best check with your doc.

NHP, before my transplant I was a daily toppik user whenever I went out. Toppik was very beneficial to me and VERY EASY to apply with the "pump attachment" accessory only. This allowed me to put Toppik on without wasting it as it helped disperse it on the scalp evenly with limited fibers. However, I have not used Toppik since the transplant in fear of clogging the grafts. Most people do say it is ok to use just as long as you wash it off daily and don't leave it in your hair overnight. You also should avoid caking it on as that is what may clog the grafts. I think most people have said they used it 1 1/2 months to 2 months after their surgery or when the grafts have started to shed/grow back. I personally am cautious applying it on the recipient zone, now the donor zone may be different as I have heard some users that did do strip apply it there after the area has closed and healed when the stitches were removed. I would definitely ask this question to the doctor or patient care representative on surgery day to get a professional opinion on when it is safe to apply just in case.

But I feel Toppik is very very good at adding density. It is very easy to apply. You just have to make sure you get the right color and that pump attachment.

Thanks Sean
Yeah I'm only talking about using it in case of an extreme emergency. Like I said I've never used it before. I have a LONG time off work so I don't see having to use it but I was just wondering. Thanks for the response!

NHP...I too am a HUGE toppik user...but now after my HT I am very nervous to use it...so I'm gonna try to really not use it at all at least for a few months minimum unless absolutely necessary...just don't want to mess around with my very expensive head now! lol. I feel like after spending all this money on my HT I have a asset on top of my head that I need to protect! lol.

As i said on my page. Ill put sum pics up with the dermmatch and see wat u tink. I tried toppik once and it looked green.

I cant wait to get back training. Iv put on 8 pounds in the last month.

Try nanogen or caboki though i will still recommend sticking to nanogen. Its all natural. Toppik has some colorings that cause your sweat to turn green. Try getting both and dumping a bit of each into the toilet bowl. You will see what i mean!

The guys are right about the coloring. I noticed this too, but especially when I used the wrong color code. Also, when you work out and run, excessive sweat, the sodium I think in the sweat can give it a tint of green, but that is in excessive sweat as in you ran or walked outside for a while on a hot day. But they do have a small SPRAY add on for that issue and to keep it effective even under the rain. I forgot what it's called but I saw it on ebay.

For me, It's just that air pump attachment had me attached to the toppik. Hell, I was even able to create artificial temples with that attachment. It really makes it easy to apply. Probably will take you a day or 2 to understand how much you need to pump and then you get the hang of it and you are in and out. It makes it a very fast 1 minute or less process instead of taking 5 minutes or more.

Yup i totally agree with Sean. The pump attachment is really effective, both in decorating the hairline and reducing wastage. I normally top up the toppik bottle by emptying the nanogen bottle in it. Agree that i will create a mess but i just prefer using nano fibres with the toppik pump attachment

I have been using concealers for 10 yrs and i can nvr attain the natural look without using the pump attachment
