I don't see any reason why toppik would make anyone lose hair..and if it did i assume it would take a lot more than a couple weeks. I've been using toppik for about a year and i haven't experienced any hair loss from it. Did you just start the big three or another topical?? If you have its possible that you are going through a shed...and if thats the case then thats more than likely a good thing. I wouldn't worry about using toppik there are a lot of people on this forum who use it and I haven't heard of anyone claiming hairloss from it. I love the stuff, dont know what id do with out it!

i tell you what... i love it also , and i want to keep using it ,
i tought about 2 things that could be , could be that with the toppik no sun light on my head for 2 weeks , made the spot in the scale pail, or more white .. so with light i see a change ,
second thing , could be that my eyes edjust to the toppik so without it the change for me is to big.

I don't no what to do .. as i said i want to keep using , but if it is making me lose hair , i will come to a point there is no return and will be very sorry .
i need to see with other pepole if any body got the same side effect as me.

pls toppik useres if any body got same thing or heard about it ,advise me

It won't make you lose hair.

 

[axlaxl34]

you sound very sure of your self, what are you basing it on ?

 

[s.a.f]

Common sense probably. :roll:

I have been using Toppik, or some form of fiber hair concealer(Hairsoreal, Prothik, Nanogen) for many years now, and have been using Toppik exclusively for about a year, and have not noticed any abnormal hair loss.
There are times when my hair seems thinner after I wash it than other times, but I think those are either phases or tricks of my mind, because then other times my hair looks thicker again.
So, no, I don't think it makes you lose hair. And that is from a long-time user(of Toppik, not drugs ).

Dude, I see this post it like really really old. I researched Toppik a lot before buying it, even saw this posting. I used the stuff for like 2 weeks as well. I LOVED the results. BUT I also noticed a LOT more hair started falling out. Even a little more on the SIDE where some of the fibers landed (I kind of wanted to make it blend in a little).

I followed the instructions to the letter and didn't even use the stuff every day. The worst part is that it's been about 3 weeks now and the hair that I lost on the side doesn't appear to be growing back either. Now I look even WORSE than when I started.

 

[Vinton Harper]

Ben, is it possible that it was just a natural progression of your own hairloss, not caused by any product in particular?
I mean, think about it, how do sprinkles of keratin fibers cause your hair to fall out? That's kind of like working in a lumber factory and getting wood dust in your hair every day, and blaming your hairloss on that.

I have been using Toppiks for over a year. At first I thought the people who said it causes hair loss were crazy. I just thought it was the contrast between having it on and not having it on that made your baldness look worse. However, without it, I used to be able to comb my hair so that it concealed my baldness. After about three months I could no longer do that. It was so obvious I was bald without it, no matter how I combed my hair.

Coincidence? Perhaps, but I had been stable with my hair loss for years and then suddenly it got worse.

Now I have to use Couvre and Toppiks.

 

[Petchsky]

Yeah but do you use anything to stop your hairloss progressing, like finasteride? If not then it is hardly surprising that your hairloss got worse. Hairloss can stabalise naturally, then start to thin again.

I used to use Toppik, but I switched to Hair Cubed and I like it better. The best part is that it doesn't cause you to lose more hair because it doesn't contain ammonium or aluminum.

Yeah, I'd like to try HairCubed, if it didn't cost 4 times as much as Toppik or Prothik or any concealer I can think of. That's too much money to experiment with.
