Life After Toppik

[tt1103]

So here is the deal. Ive been using toppik for about 5 months. I have seen my hair get better to the point of not needed toppik any more (yet I continued to use it...this stuff is addicting) and now it is back to being thin due to a massive shed I am going through. If it continues like this I am going to be beyond repair in another month or two. My question is what does one do when your hair gets so thin that Toppik is no longer undetectable. I mean are you supposed to just show up to work one day and all of a sudden be bald? Do you just say screw it and shave your head and shock everyone that knows you? What if you are like me and just dont have the head/body shape that would look good shaved? What do you do!? I mean I can drop hints that Im going to shave it so people arent completely shocked I guess, but I like having hair...I love having hair.. God I miss my hair....Any ideas?

Just cut down on the amount that you use or get your hair cut progressivly shorter each time until it is buzzed.

the only thing i can tell you is maybe try couvre or dermatch along with toppik for extra coverage or change your style to one that lessens the look of thinning. Do you use any types of gel in ur hair?

I had masses of thick hair with a fair ol' bit of nanogen (like toppik). the next day i shaved my head.

no one cared. a couple of girls said they prefer guys with short hair like that.

but that's the thing - no one actually cares what your hair looks like!

a few guys at work had a chat with me about it, they were curious about it themselves. a few days later, one of them had done it too.

they care how much hair you have. But given the same hairline and amount of hair, they don't care if you shave it or leave it. There are a few preferences between crew or long, mostly your face and body are what matter, and your hairline.

so basically all diffusers should shave!

tt1103, can you post some pics so we can see what kind of shape your hair is in?

I have them posted in the "My Story" section under tt1103's story...feel free to go check it out...should be near the top on the fist page or that section since I just posted new pics

when I see a guy with a shaved head, I think he has some balls, and still aspires to be athletic. When they have 2 inch long hair on the sides, and nothing on top, I think they gave up and are settling down to a more nuturing role.

On the flip side, if you don't shave, and you wear a hat, it looks like you have a full head of hair.

this can work nicely if you're jewish.

tt1103, I just checked out your pics. I don't think that your looks bad at all and I think that you have a very, very, good chance of improving what you have and maintaining it for some time. I would be positive about the situation, you caught it in the nick of time

Also I think that you can totally use toppik, but do not use too much so that your hair is caked with it.
