Cosmetic Hair Thickeners – Men's Tip No. 5

Cosmetic Hair Thickeners – Men’s Tip No. 5

A hair thickener is a cosmetic that produces dramatic visual results instantly by adding (usually) colored fibers to the hair cuticle (the outside of the hair shaft) to temporarily thicken it. At the same time some of these fibers fall on the scalp to noticeably reduce the scalp contrast that “shines through” thinning hair. Hair thickeners do not regrow hair – a popular misconception.

As a product group, hair thickeners are a cost effective cosmetic solution to improve the appearance of thinning hair and hair loss without Drugs, Surgery or Toupees. Hair loss in men, 95% of the time, is due to Androgenetic Alopecia or male pattern baldness (MPB) which can often be easily addressed with a cosmetic hair thickener. Of course hair thickeners are highly effective on thinning hair but not bare scalp and are not intended to cover bald spots.

Types of Hair Thickeners;

Hair Thickening Powders – consist of dry, colored fibers shaken onto the affected areas that bond electrostatically to the hair shaft

Advantage – Looks good with a softer feel due to weak bonding to hair shafts
Disadvantage – product can easily run, blow away, or rub off on fingers, clothing and bedding causing embarrassment.

Wet Products – Volumizers, conditioners, shampoos and oil treatments work by swelling the hair shaft with moisture and retaining it with a coating of polymers.

Advantage – temporarily provide extra body
Disadvantage – As they are not a colored product they do little to minimize the visual impact of thinning hair

Hair Thickening Aerosols – colored fibers are sprayed on wet, sticking to the hair shaft and drying in place.

Advantages
- Looks good with strong bond to hair shaft holding hairstyle in place.
- Less likely to sweat or wash out, wear off and won’t blow away.
- Less product is required as Volluma stays in the hair until purposely washed out
Disadvantage – some folks find that their hair feels stiff
