When you start to notice thinning hair, a few extra strands on the pillow or even the beginnings of a bald spot, it can seem like everything is going against you. I’m not just talking about getting old and losing your hair either, this can happen to blokes from a very young age. Speaking from experience, it’s not enjoyable. In my case I believe the acne treatment, accutane, played a significant role in what my hair is today. Although you are warned of the potential side effects, including accelerated hair loss, what 17 year-old really thinks about possible hair loss when they’ve got pimples that won’t go away?

It can be rather frustrating when all your mates have full heads of hair, and then your brother, who is also 6’2, has a hair line any woman would be proud of. Yes, I am getting a little personal here, but I warned you when the signs start to show, everything can turn. You can often laugh it off and joke with people when they make fun of your receding hair line, but it’s something that isn’t a quick fix. It’s not like you can just start working out to lose a bit of weight, this is your hair and you’re stuck with it. There are treatments out there; hair replacements, laser treatments and various supplements and gels. But these can all be ridiculously expensive, time consuming, and with results that are never guaranteed.

You may feel this is being far too superficial, shallow, whatever. As a 23 year-old bloke it can be embarrassing, your self-confidence is down and sadly even your self-worth can plummet. But now working for one of the largest online beauty and cosmetic stores, I knew there was an opportunity to discover some new products and treatments. Toppik is the first treatment I came across, and unlike others that say they will grow new hair, Toppik provides you with a fuller head of hair in seconds. Toppik Hair Building Fibers – Dark Brown treatment contains all natural Keratin protein “hairs” that bind to your existing hair to deliver instant fullness and thickness. It is a bit of an odd process as it looks like a pepper shaker sprinkling flakes onto your head, but it works! If you haven’t been able to tell by now, I’ve got some built-up animosity towards my hair, and this has actually settled me. The top of my head especially with a bald spot that seems to be growing by the day is of great concern, and makes me anxious that one day I’ll have the same look as Australia’s former Prime Minister, John Howard.

With a flock of birds (ladies) circling to witness the transformation, Natalie went to work applying a generous amount of fibers  to the area(s) of concern. Utilizing the Toppik Hair Optimizer, it is quick, easy, could do it sitting at my desk at work, and with the Toppik Fiberhold Spray, the fibers are secure to give me a natural head of hair until the next time I shampoo. It’s all well and good to tell you how good these products are, but just take a look and see what Toppik can do.
