FAQs

How do I use HRC brand or Toppik or Hair fibres?

1.  Best results are achieved when the hair thickening fibres are applied on dry hair.  Use a styling brush to expose or separate the areas that concern you,  sprinkle, using the shaker container into the area and slowly and gently pat down to disperse the fibres.

2. Hold the container 4-6 cms above the area you would like thickened.  For small areas,  hold the container directly over the target area.

3.  Shake the container and apply the preferred brand of fibres liberally to the target areas.  To target areas at the back of the head, tilt head forward and apply the fibres liberally,  move the container in a circular motion while applying to ensure complete and even coverage at the back of the head.  If there are stray fibres on your skin or clothing, dust off lightly with a towel to remove them.  It won’t stain,  it’s just like a very fine dust.

4.  On the frontal areas,  place your hand over forehead and cover approximately 2 or 3 cm from the beginning of the hairline to prevent ant fibres from getting onto your forehead and to create a gradual thickening appearance at the hairline.

5.  Once sufficient fibres have been applied, brush through lightly and style with a loose bristle brush.  If further thickening is desired,  re-apply.  Pat the treated area lightly to disperse the fibres.

6.  After desired thickness and style has been achieved,  you can apply a light misting of hair spray to fix your style more securely.
