Hello all,

My mom has lost 1/4 of her hair. It is still not enough to resort to a wig but the thinning is noticable. I was thinking of buying some spray on hair products for her to hide the bald spots. Something like Dermamatch, Good Looking Hair or even the expensive ones like Magic hair or Fabulan.

I was hoping to see if any of you ladies have had any experience with these products. Do they work as well as the pics on the web. Even if she can spray it on and look natural for a couple hours, i am ok with that. She is a school teacher and you know the kids can be really mean when they dont understand the circumstances.

Please advise.

I used one (for the front of my hair where it was thining). You shake it on like pepper and it klings to the hair that is already there.

Let me try to look up the name. I haven't used it in a long time.

I used to care but I take a pill for that now.

Found it!!

Here it is... www.toppik.com

You match your hair color and shake it on. I used it and it looks natural unless you get really close up. Like only my hair dresser noticed it.

Thanks Janis, this looks promising. I will order a couple bottles.
