@Lana Your post is quite old, but my situation is exactly the same, I was diagnosed with cicatricial alopecia and I have Rheumatoid arthritis. What you said it’s true; nobody knows what’s the cause but I don’t have a family history of balding (either men or women) I had very thick hair most of my life and I started noticing the thinning right after I was diagnosed with RA. It really sucks! I do use Toppik on a daily basis, and for me it works perfectly fine….for now. My hair is still thinning and I know the day will come when I have to look into toppers or wigs 🙁 Good luck!

I am so glad you found something that gives you this kind of end result. You look fantastic!
I’ve been a daily user of Toppik for almost a decade now. I couldn’t live without it!!! My hair is light brown and I have not experienced any staining on my pillows or clothes. Using it is just part of my regular routine (just as makeup). I have cicatricial alopecia (probably as a result of rheumatoid arthritis – nobody knows for certain), and my hair loss is just on the crown (thinning). Toppik works wonder to conceal and fill in the thinning areas, to avoid the see-thru of my scalp. That was so mortifying to me, not only because other could see it, but I could clearly see the shiny spots on my scalp where hair was not growing anymore. That used to made so sad and depressed. I’m very happy with Toppik and will continue using it as long as possible. Good luck to all!

I use Minoxidal in the evening. Can this be used if I apply Cover the Grey Fill-in Powder during the day?. Is there a reaction of these two products. Your response is appreciated.

Hi , my name is jo im also experiencing hair loss, im 32 and a hairdresser and noticed that all of a sudden my hair has become increasingly thin its really effecting my self confidence as im sure it is for all those also experiencing the same , ive been using hair fibre apray which does help if I want to do different styles but not that I can do all the styles I could before 🙁 ive been to a dermatologist who thinks it could just be genetic which is scary as I dont no at what rate and if its going to become worse , ive heard of different products but not sure if any really work ..and just hope that soon something will come up to help it grow bk before having to result in a hair topper .

Hi Lauren,

This is exactly what is happening to me! I am 24 years old and I just recently noticed that my hair is thinning. I realized this when all of a sudden I noticed I lacked a significant amount of volume in my hair (I used to have a voluminous head of hair). I took a picture of the back of my head and realized my scalp was peeking through.

I am devastated, to say the least. Since finding out, I’ve dealt with a range of emotions: agony, anxiety, panic and depression. Before reading this post I held out a teeny bit of hope that maybe there was something I could do about it or maybe it was temporary because unlike most of the ladies on this network I am not shedding at all.

I even have the strong urge of just shaving my head to begin wearing wigs early on just so I don’t have to deal with the painstakingly slow process of watching my hair thin out. I am so confused and at a loss of words over this…

Lauren, I wanted to know how your hair loss journey is going now. Have you tried anything different? Wigs? toppers? treatment? Also, how old were you when you realized your hair was thinning? Do you have any advice for a 24 year old girl who is going through a similar situation as you? As you can imagine, I am heartbroken and worried about my future.

I think I would like to try this for those special occasions, not sure it would suit me for daily use.

I’ve been using Toppik for many years .. it really does help!
Think of it this way … it’s not a cure, but it will do for your thinning scalp what make-up does for your face!

Thanks so much for sharing this! I will soon need to start using a product like this because of my hair loss and it’s great to see a step by step view. I admire your courage to show images as well.
Many thanks!

Hello Ladies…

I have recently started using Nanogen. Its the only one available in my country. I have a doubt. Will these hair fibres cause more shedding as I read somewhere that they can block foliicles? Can I use it along with minoxidil solution?
