If you are experiencing temporary or permanent thinning hair or hair loss consider using a cosmetic hair thikener or enhancer, as they are sometimes called. The advantages of using a hair thikener are that they are inexpensive, easy to apply, produce great results instantly and can be washed out at any time. No special knowledge is required to apply a hair thikener and just a little experimentation is all it takes to get great results.
Regardless of the cause or stage of thinning hair, a hair thikener can be used in combination with other re-growth treatments such as Minoxidil (RogaineĀ®) and others or even to improve a hair transplant! A hair thikener is often a great solution for temporary hair loss after pregnancy, illness or any other reason.
The disadvantage of hair thikeners is, that like any cosmetic, many of these products can run or rub off, potentially causing embarrassment to the user and care should be taken to select a product that suits your lifestyle.
A hair thikener 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 thicken it. At the same time some of these fibers fall on the scalp to noticeably reduce the scalp contrast that normally shines through thinning hair. Hair thikeners do not regrow hair – a popular misconception.
As a product group hair thikeners are a cost effective cosmetic solution to improve the appearance of thinning hair and hair loss without Drugs, Surgery or Wigs. Hair loss in women, whether due to female pattern baldness or Alopecia Areata can often be easily addressed with a cosmetic hair thikener.
