If you are experiencing thinning hair and aren’t ready to consider undergoing a hair replacement procedure… hair fibers are a cost-effective, minimally invasive way to camouflage hair loss and to give the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
How Do Hair Fibers Work?
Hair fibers are minute strands of keratin protein derived from wool, human hair, rice, or rayon. They are applied to your existing hair in spray or powder form, filling in thin areas and giving your hair a thicker, fuller look.
Hair fibers come in a wide variety of colors so you can match your exact shade for a natural look. They don’t require any adhesive… rather, they are positively charged and stick to your negatively charged hair through ionic bonding.
Hair fibers should be applied to clean, dry hair that is free from conditioner or other oily products – which may prevent fibers from binding properly. Use fibers on already-styled hair and avoid combing, styling, or blow drying after application.
When you wish to remove the hair fibers, just wash your hair with a foaming shampoo and they will release the bond and rinse away.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Hair Fibers?
Hair fibers can be an effective way to make your hair look thicker, but they aren’t right for everyone. Hair fibers look natural and are easy to apply and remove. They don’t require sticky adhesives to attach to your scalp, and they come in dozens of colors so you can achieve an exact match to your existing hair.
Some drawbacks of hair fiber powder and spray are that they may be visible on clothing and bedding, and some products may cause staining. They can be affected by moisture – especially when improperly applied – and they are only temporary… requiring reapplication after every shampoo. Some hair fiber side effects are that they can be itchy or irritating and may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Are Hair Fibers Noticeable?
Properly applied hair fibers blend seamlessly with your own hair, so no one can tell you are wearing them. If applied improperly (or if you use a low-end hair fiber product), they may be visible on your clothes or bedding as they fall off. This is why it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s directions and to invest in a quality hair fiber brand.
How Long Do Hair Fibers Last?
A high-quality keratin-based product, properly applied, can be long-lasting. A good hair fiber application should last until your next shampoo.
