Keratin Hair Fibers,, 30-grams, Grey

I am in love with Nanogen! I had reconciled with having to wear wigs to even be able to step out of the house. I am a woman close to 40, who is now seeing a huge line of scalp where I part my hair all the way from the front and part way down the back. So my hair has thinned effusively all over, but that line, and an especially thinning area near my hairline next to my forehead has me self-conscious from the moment I'm out of bed to the moment I sleep. It is embarrassing and it definitely takes a huge toll on self-confidence. I tried a wig but it never felt natural. In a desperate measure to seek solutions before a family re-union, I came across videos of Nanogen.Here's what I love about it:1. No one can tell - And I mean no one. My kids and husband came home when I first received and applied Nanogen. I did not say anything for a few minutes, and they kept staring at me. They knew something was different but couldn't place their finger on it. Just said that I looked great, younger somehow (Yeah!). I told them and then immediately took them out where I was in the sun for them to look carefully to see if they could tell. I can tell you that I've done this test multiple times. I will stop on my way into the mall or somewhere else when the sun is shining on me, and just ask them to look everywhere and see if they can tell that it's not my hair. And they can't. My family or friends have not been able to either. I FINALLY look forward to taking pictures again.2. So Easy - It took me about three tries to perfect the density and look I wanted with Nanogen. Just how much and where. It helps to have access to a well lit place where you can see what you're doing. I have a combination of mirrors I use to verify that the back of my head now looks okay. But you will learn to pretty much place a finger in your bald spat and with the other hand, guide the Nanogen bottle to the finger and pat to get results exactly where you need them. The texture is just like hair too so I like it.3. It stays on - I don't wash my hair everyday. Once I have applied this and lightly sprayed on my hairspray on it, it stays for days. I have also used it without hairspray. I find that some of it falls off while I sleep but I still see some results the next day with it. Wind, rain etc do not make a difference. And for those of you who don't have hair, you know how big a deal it is to go out in the wind and rain when you're afraid that your barely there hair will get messed up and your bald spots will start showing.4. Better than the competition - I could not bring myself to try on Toppik due to the chemical and color issues with it. I did order Caboki at the same time as I ordered this. I like Caboki too. But Caboki is more like powder that settles on my scalp so sometimes can look like i painted it. Nanogen is a fiber that sits on top of my bald spots attached to the minimal hair that are there to make it look like I have hair on top of my scalp, not color on my scalp. It is also less messier than Caboki to apply in my opinion.5. Color works for me - I have hair that is uniformly one single color. So the color is a great match for me. I am not sure how it might work if you have a lot of highlights.6. Does not stain - I don't have a single stain on my pillows, clothes or anywhere else from keeping this in my hair and sleeping with it.Cons -1. Sometimes Itchy - I can go for 2-3 days without washing my hair. So sometimes it'll get itchy but it could just be my oily scalp.

I have a balding spot on the top back (crown) of my head. It's about two inches in diameter. I have been using Rogaine on it, and while that hasn't resulted in the balding spot going away, it has kept it from getting any worse. Still, I wanted to see if there was anything else I could do about it. I was on a web forum about balding (and what to do about it) and I read several posts about Nanogen. There are other similar products made by other companies, but the overall consensus was that Nanogen was the best of them. There are even videos online that show it being applied. It seemed too good to be true, but for ~$25 bucks, I decided to give it a shot. Now, if you have a bald spot that is completely bald (bare skin, not even thin whispy hairs), you probably won't see much improvement, but if you are like me, this product is amazing. One minute, you have a balding spot, the next it's gone! The Nanogen fibers stick to those little fuzzy hairs and make it look like full, natural hair. Even on a windy day, they stay in place. If you are going to be exercising (and perspiring), swimming, or going out in really high winds, they recommend using some hair mist after applying the Nanogen to give it some extra hold. They sell their own "fixing" mist, but I have found that just about any brand will work (just be careful to spray whatever product you are using on top of the Nanogen once it is on your head, then let it dry before touching or combing it). You may have to experiment with which shade of Nanogen most closely matches your natural hair color, but other than that, it's great stuff!

This product might be good for non-Blacks. if your hair is non-permed and natural, you might want to skip this little "miracle". I was skeptical but I thought with so many positive reviews I could give it a try. Again, maybe most reviewers are non-Blacks or Blacks with hair that's NOT naturally nappy therefore this product worked well for them. This product looks like some kind a powder that should blend with your own hair while covering the hairless spots. But I think the hair texture matters. When I used this product, my hair was not chemically altered and it did nothing to cover the thinning on my temple. I went back to using the good 'ol black pencil who handles the job pretty well as long as you don't sweat or wet the area where the pencil has been used ;).Thankfully, I discovered a product called "Jamaican castor oil" that I've been using semi-faithfully and my hair is growing back fast ! right now, I'm not even using the pencil anymore and I hope in few more months, my temples will be completely full of hair. Good luck to you all.
