Toppik hair building fibers are made of keratin, a fibrous protein that makes up your hair and nails. Like all hair fiber products, Toppik looks like a salt and pepper shaker. The Toppik shaker jar drops tiny colored particles on your scalp.
Toppik gives you very little control over application, especially along the front hairline. Toppik tends to stick to the scalp rather than the hair. This doesn't give you much thickening effect for thin hairs. Be careful bending over, because Toppik can fall off your scalp very easily. Don't even think about brushing, combing or swimming with Toppik.
People who have switched from Toppik to DermMatch Topical Shading say the same things. DermMatch application is much more precise and controllable than Toppik, especially along the front hairline. DermMatch coats thin hairs, making them look much thicker than Toppik. DermMatch stays on much better than Toppik, allowing you to brush, swim or sweat.
DermMatch even costs less to use than Toppik. DermMatch is a solid that lasts a long time. Toppik is a jar filled with loose particles. You're paying for a lot of air with Toppik. You can also try DermMatch absolutely risk-free. You can't do that with Toppik.
