Is Toppik hair fiber genuine or fake?

Toppik is made of keratin fibers which can be administered by shaking the particles on the regions with less hair density. Therefore, it is necessary for existing hair to be in place. Otherwise there is nothing for the fibers to cling to. The use of hair loss concealers can be helpful for video and camera appearances. However, when viewed close up, the results can look quite artificial.More men are considering the use of scalp pigmentation techniques like SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation). However, there is a newer technique known as Trichopigmentation which overcomes the limitations of conventional SMP (i.e. discoloration due to light refraction and the permanency of the ink used). Administering the pigment as tiny dots creates the appearance of soft stubble, which is more convincing than keratin fibers. 

Toppik is a real product and if you use it right, it can look better than a hair transplant to cover up the thinning.  

Toppik is a type of camouflaging product made up of keratin fibers. It takes a while to get use to applying any of these topical camouflaging products but with a bit of practice they can look great. Camouflaging products are best used when someone is experiencing thinning - they don't work when hair is very thin or bald. In the reference below you'll find a link to many camouflaging options as well as our publication a few years back in the Dermatology Online Journal about an array of camouflaging products. 

Toppik is a synthetic product designed to camouflage the thinning scalp. It is not real hair. - Dr. Keaney

Toppik is one of the many microfibre product options and can be very effective but it is important to get the colour match right.Other categories of camouflage product options for you to investigate include scalp dyes and coloured hairsprays.

Toppik is not real hair fiver and it is keratin protein that comes in different colors.  In individuals who are starting to lose hair or thinning in some areas it helps camouflage the thinning area.  

Toppik is made of a colored keratin protein that is not real hair. It is a very popular product and other than the shedding of the powder, it does its job well for those who use it. When people are dependent upon it, there is another option, Scalp Micropigmentation which is a permanent concealer that never has to be applied daily. Many toppik addicts, switch to this technique to be free to swim and socialize where Toppik limits one socially. See below the web reference.
