Regular Member C.L. Posted October 1, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hey everyone, new and just have a few questions about toppik. I've heard great things about it, but not entirely sure how it works. 1. Does it work as well for receding hairlines as with thining hair? 2.What are the best combinations to use with Toppik? Here are some pictures of my scalp so you get aa better idea. There kinda grainy but I was using a webcam, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mark H Posted October 2, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 2, 2006 I've got toppik, and it has its uses, but I'm going to give dermatch a try. For me Toppik doesn't seem to really adhere to he hair, it just ends up on my scalp, and for that I can get a spray can of top coverage and paint my hair in. I guess that probably means my hair loss is simply too severe...or was before HT...to get max benefit. Toppik after all is supposed to go on your hair, so the catch-22 is, no hair, nothing to go on. mark h My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squishy Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 toppik Ive heard ok things about toppik myself, but arn't you meant to use something else like Regaine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted November 24, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2007 It is protein fibers that actually adhere to the hair. Yes it only works if you have some hair to adhere to. It works great for an individual that has mild to moderate thinning. It will not by any means give you a lower hairline look or anthing, it just thickens where you have hair. No you don't have to use it with other products.

Senior Member diamondlight Posted November 24, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2007 nervous nelly is right on man. I use it and it work greaaaaaaaaat for my top coverage because I still have a good bulk over native hair. As for my thin hairline it doesnt work that great. One thing you'll definatley have to get is the spray top! But the hairline alot of it ends up on my scalp and bulks up in patches so you spend alot of time trying to make it look unnoticable. Although I may be using to much haha. Its powdery so it does get messy and I also have dermatch on the way to use for my hairline along with toppik on top. Ill keep you posted on how it goes My log: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/170133-dr-true-2k-graft-29yr-old-male.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chucky Posted November 29, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2007 hi guys where do you purchase your concealers from and how much are they,you may not be able to add link (terms and conditions) i use toppik and nanogen and it works out quite expensive when you look at your yearly spend as well as the other stuff you buy.i pay approximately ??17-$34 for either. it cant cost that much to manufacture. i feel both work the same but the only gripe i have is you have got to try and guess when its running out.i suppose this is a marketing ploy so you always have one in reserve,if the container had a see through panel this would be great. 2 x strip ht`s with Norton,very poor results 1 x fue ht with DHI,very poor result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member KulMD Posted December 2, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 2, 2007 I am trying ebay for these items. So far so good with Rogaine purchased on e bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted December 3, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 3, 2007 Tried em both I prefer Dermatch.. It is far neater, withstands water, and lasts longer. Also, the applicator creates a more natural apearance.
