Xfusion by Toppik Hair Building Fibers with Premium Keratin Fibers Conceals Hair Thinning & Hair Loss for Fuller Looking Hair that Gives Completely Natural Look For Men & Women, Dark Brown, 15 Grams

Not bad

My wife and I have been using this product for years. It is easy to apply and covers well. It's really to increase the volume of your hair and cover a little bit of Gray roots. It will take effort to wash out in the shower especially if you use Hairspray. It will come off on your pillow if you use it on the back of your head. But that blending power of this product is very impressive.

I have one word for those who have equivocal results (given their degree of hair loss) - experiment! There are many shades of this keratin product, and mixing to match is often necessary. I have salt and pepper hair, heavier on the gray, lighter on the brown. I mix the gray product with light or medium brown (depending on what I have) at a ratio of roughly 5:1. It also will require experimentation to find the right amount to use. I put it on still damp towel-dried hair, holding the shaker about 6-8" above the head; then I gently and briefly tap/rub my fingers across the area of the head in an attempt to "stabilize" or "set" the fibers; they don't do a lot of good sitting on the scalp, but rather when positioned between individual hair shafts. Therefore, if TOO much is applied in a given area, it may appear more like a scalp dye or cosmetic cover-up. With my degree of hair loss, a gentle dusting is all that's required. Others may require much more. I must say I've never had a problem with any running, staining, appearance on skin or clothing, pillowcases, or what have you. That is based on personal experience with the amount that is required for my needs. It really does work and does what it is supposed to do. However, one must use it in a way that optimizes the result and that requires some getting used to (a week or so?) I'm an MD specializing in hair transplant surgery (HTS); I see many men and women who use this and/or Toppik (I personally find them interchangeable), and I recommend it frequently. Unfortunately, here is a point of hair loss at which it's not much of an option anymore. Realistic expectations are required. Thinning is simply the penetration of light onto the scalp; several factors enter into the "coverage" equation: density, or the number of follicles per unit area (cm2 or sq inches), caliber of hair (shaft diameter), curl or lack thereof, etc. Two-tone hair is also generally a plus (some light is reflected, some absorbed, thereby "fooling" the eye). High contrast between hair color and skin color is typically a negative as well (eg, I am Caucasian, and if I were to dye my hair dark brown or black, my thinning would be MUCH more evident! High skin/hair contrast) My comment above regarding realistic expectations is assuming that one has gone through the "break-in period" and figured out a technique, AND that the degree of hair loss is not too great. There MUST be enough hair there for a bit of "cross-linking" to take place, i.e., for the fibers to "connect" hairs to one another and give greater blockage of light. Imagine a thatched roof over a hut; the denser the thatch (corresponding to hair density), the larger and more robust the thatch itself (corresponding to hair shaft caliber/diameter), and the more "crossed" or interlinked the individual thatching is (corresponding to keratin fibers), the more light will be blocked and the less light will penetrate to the floor of the hut (corresponding to the scalp). These fibers, as I understand them, are barbed, that is, they are similar to fir tree or pine trees branches, with multiple short needles projecting off of the main stem (or somewhat similar to a bird's feathers). As such, they have some capacity to "interlink" with hair shafts and with one another. Denser thatch (back to that analogy) and more blockage of light. In this way, the APPEARANCE of thinning is diminished. If in fact there are too few hairs in an area, or if those hairs are too severely miniaturized (decreased in diameter), this will not work well or at all. Cheers, TB

Absolutely rubbish for a ridiculous price,don't buy !!!

Great! I like to mix with the medium brown so I get the perfect color for me.

XFusion is amazing!!! I use this product on my beard. I usually would dye my beard to fill in the light spots but you can see the dye line. It doesn't look natural. But this product is sooo easy to use. I was even fully clothed when I used it. I brought the applicator along with Xfusion. It was easy to take off the shaker top and add the push applicator. The first time I squeezed the applicator too much came out. Not a crazy amount but enough to decrease accuracy of applying the product. I pressed lightly and the product was east to apply and it went where I wanted. It's not messy at all. I didn't get any on my clothes. After application you just comb and style how you want. It's very durable and you shampoo to remove. It looks really natural and no one could tell.
