Hello all...I have been taking Propecia for over 8 years now, therefore the crown area of my head has little to no hairloss. As you all should know, Propecia does not target the front hairline. I have had a slight thinning and recession of my hairline. Does Toppik work to make the hairline look fuller?

Here's the catch 22: The more hair you have for the Toppik to adhere to, the more full your hairline will look.

So, yes it can help, although contrary to its marketing I found more resting on my scalp than actually adhering to my hair, and that led to an unatural look, so I stopped using it.

However, I had a very thin hairline, too thin it seems, and even though I recently got an HT, I didn't realize how bald I was until I started taking pictures and looking at them. I wasn't seeing reality in the mirror somehow.

So, I advise getting their small travel container. That is the cheapest way to see if its for you.

That's exactly what I did. I'll let you all know how it comes out. I'm far from bald, but I would like to achieve a fuller look on my hairline.

I would strongly suggest using the Toppik Spray Maximizer as an applicator. This will allow the Toppik to be distributed more evenly and stick to the hair, not the scalp, which will provide you with optimal results.

Wow!! I received a tiny bottle of dark brown Toppik that I bought on eBay. It worked pretty darn good to give me a more fuller looking hairline. I will try this Toppik Spray Maximizer as an applicator to see how much better it would look, but the Toppik alone sure did a wonderful job!

I didn't know about the spray! That's good info, although it won't be useful to me for a few months, I'll have to give that a try.

thx,

I bought that maximizer and tried to use it on my crown area, didn't work so good. It shoots a burst of toppik but it didn't spread it out too well. Maybe I sprayed it too close but just left a big ol patch of toppik on my head. Tried to spray it from farther away but still didn't spread out the toppik very well. Dunno, maybe you need to shoot it on from the next room to spread it finely and evenly. I just like a fine amount so I use a regular sized bottle, put scotch tape over the holes and puncture the holes with a paperclip. It makes it so it comes out evenly but not a bunch at a time, only a small amount. That works the best for me Big Grin
