Finally, finally finally, my shed has more or less stopped!! I can now run my hands through my hair without collecting 10 hairs every time.

Such a relief. Already i think im starting to turn the corner - encouraging times. Nanominox once a day is extrememly handy too, particularly if you have short hair!

Anyway, since ive had a bad shed i decided to do something i never thought id do - as a temporary measure. That is, purchase toppik.

I have to say - its unbelievable how effective it is for my hair - just a little sprinkle made a huge difference. Using this in moderation for special occassions isn't a bad idea. I never liked the idea of concealers but the way im looking at it now is that so long as you dont become reliant on it or use it too much then it shouldn't be a big deal. If and when i decide my hair is too bad and i need to shave i can go straight to the shaved look anyway so people probably wouldn't even notice the difference! Why wouldn't you want your hair to look better (within reason)?

For anyone going through a shed - try toppik - should certainly help your confidence through it and buy you a bit of time!!

Not from finasteride. From quitting minoxidil! Brutal shed.

See the thread I started here about fiber concealers. There's alot more available than just Toppik. 10 years ago Toppik was all there was except for the spray on paint. Now you have a bunch of choices. I was thinking of buying one of the cheaper options for periods when I know I'm going to shower and shampoo it off in a few hours. Until I find better, I still think Toppik is the best, though, and that's probably what most of the actors are using on TV and in films.

Nanogen is better than Toppik. Its not one of the cheap fibre brands but it does'nt have the colour issues associated with Toppik.
