I think you are going to get some of that no matter what kind of fiber concealer you use. I use Toppik in conjunction with a spray-on concealer(you want to see messy, get one of those), but the Toppik doesn't get all over because I use the Toppik Sprayer(lookup Toppik Spray Maximizer, I think) so I can spray it generally where I want it. But also because I don't use a whole lot, either. You may want to try spraying your hair lightly with hair spray before you add the concealer. I do with when I am using my sprinkle bottle of Caboki. It seems to help the fibers attach to the hair better, but I really can't tell if it helps to not make a mess because of my use of spray-on concealer which always makes a mess.
