Something to make your hair thicker?

[Bleachcola12]

I will be having a ht soon, and I was curious, is there some type of solution that can make the hair look a little thicker? Any help?

You can always use a concealer like Dematch and or a thickening shampoo

I use "surf hair"; you can get it at walmart for around 3$;

What is Surf hair?

[mphoenixaz]

 

Surf hair gel. It is like heavy hairspray.

Don't get your hopes up, my friend. Other than using a concealer, shampoos and conditioners that are "thickeners" may give you a "little" added benefit, but in reality I don't feel they add that much.

 

I use Garnier Fructis for fine hair, a hair thickening shampoo...............does it help thicken my hair, yeah, probably. Would your average person looking at me with and without it be able to tell the difference............IMO, no, probably not.

 

Surf Hair, also by Garnier Fructis, is pretty cool stuff. However, like any other product for us HT types, you must have enough hair for it to look good.

 

I've found that it is a rare HT recipient that can actually gel their hair and get it to look non-thinning, even with the best of HT densities. I think HT hair looks much better dry and covers better dry. Just IMO!

Try a hair stick by tigi. It'll put a layer on the top of your hair, but keep the roots dry. Thats if you want a spiked look, of course.

I did a search on here and found dermmatch with positive feedback. What do you guys think?

[hairbank]

Yep............IF you have enough hair to work with, dermmatch can do wonders. It is a concealer though, not just a hair thickening agent like shampoos/conditioners......comprende'??

[guyfromsydney]

with toppik and dematch, can you only use them on dry hair?

 

or can they also be applied to geled hair?

 

Do they actually help thicken the hair? or they merely color your scalp/skin?

 

Thanks

I just apply Dermatch after towel drying my hair after a shower.Dont try to paint the scalp or you'll get a chalky look.Just use it on your existing hair.A member here recommended using a fine toothbrush to apply it,and it works awesome for me.Dermatch will thicken up those thin hairs.It doesnt take much.The next thing I do is blow dry it and brush it in to blend.I look to see if I got enough on,if not I will just put a little more on using my fingertip.Comb again.Add a few sprinkles of topiks.Comb it through.ONCE I AM SATISFIED with the coverage,I add some Nioxin gel to give it a shiny finish.It really only takes me less than 10 minutes.You can do this every day,or like me,I do it every other day.I leave it in overnight.It is going on 5 months since my 1st HT and it seems that each time I wash out my hair,the less consealers I need next time.It is amazing.

Good luck with everything with your upcoming HT.
