Glossary Hair Fibers

tiny keratin-based strands used to conceal thinning hair

Hair fibers are tiny, keratin-based strands that are used to conceal thinning hair or bald spots. They adhere to existing hair through static electricity, creating the appearance of fuller, thicker hair. Popular brands like Toppik offer these fibers in various colors to match natural hair shades, making them a widely-used cosmetic solution for individuals experiencing hair loss or alopecia.

cosmetic product that temporarily makes hair appear thicker

Do hair fibers really make thinning hair look fuller, or is it just an illusion? Hair fibers create an optical illusion of fullness but do not actually thicken hair.
Do hair fibers wash out easily, or do you need a special shampoo to remove them? There is no published trial comparing shampoos for removing hair fibers. Because the fibers cling by static rather than bonding chemically, and because users consistently report they rinse out with ordinary shampoo, the specialist fiber-removal shampoos do not appear to be necessary; a clarifying shampoo may help when fibers are layered under hairspray or gel.
How do you apply hair fibers correctly so they stay in place all day? Apply hair fibers to clean, dry hair and use a setting spray for better hold.
