Takes some getting used to but it works

Over the last 10 years, my hair has become dreadfully thin. I'm at the point where I can't hide the thin patches anymore, so I've been looking at my options. Having a limited budget, it's not like I can afford to try everything on the market, and as much as I would like to get a hair topper, they cost hundreds of dollars which I don't have. I was going to try Toppik fibers since they are the most popular and most reviewed brand, but Sally Beauty carries Ion and it is quite a bit cheaper. I had just washed my hair that day, so I went home and gave it a try. At a distance it looks amazing, it really fills in my hair, but when I looked closely, my scalp looked like it was covered in leopard spots. I really think it just takes practice applying it properly, in order to get the needed coverage, but it's hard not to be self conscious while trying to get there. In any case, I do recommend trying it, especially if you can get it at a store with a great return policy like Sally Beauty. That way, if you don't like it you can get your money back.

A couple of important things to know. If you have a tendency to scratch your scalp like I do, it will get under your nails. Scratching/picking at my scalp is an OCD thing with me, but my scalp also does get itchy really easily so I normally avoid using any product in my hair. I went a couple days before washing my hair and I was pleasantly surprised that my scalp did not get irritated or itchy. The coverage was still good the next day, which I did not expect, so that was a bonus. Pick the shade that is closest to your hair color, but go darker rather than lighter. Oh, and it's also great at covering greys when your roots start to grow out, another bonus!
