I'm 45 years old and have Androgenetic Alopecia. I take Propecia and apply minoxidil. Recently, I've been using Toppik hair fibers daily to help with my thin hair, and it seems to be working. However, I've heard that the chemicals in Toppik can clog the scalp pores and prevent hair growth. Is this true? Should I use it less frequently, like 2-3 times a week, instead of every day? Can I leave it overnight on my scalp?
Toppik does not cause hair loss any more than sawdust would. The pores of the scalp are not the source of hair loss, and blocking them is not a factor (although Toppik does not block the pores anyway). Hair receives its nutrition from the blood supply at the hair bulb. If your hair is still thinning despite your treatment regimen, it may be worth considering low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments.
Toppik is a well-known and popular hair fiber/hair concealer product. When used, it will not cause harm to your natural hair.
Using Toppik should not affect your hair loss. Scalp and hair receive nutrients and oxygen from blood circulation, and the scalp pores do not have a significant impact on hair growth or loss. Consider a medical evaluation, including microscopic examination of the scalp and hair, to determine appropriate medication and future hair loss predictions. - [Doctor's Name]
The effectiveness of Toppix in aiding hair loss is not supported by scientific evidence. While it may provide temporary results, it can wash away with water or sweat.
