Do we ever rate a hair loss treatment positively. The answer is that we do (rarely). Why don’t we recommend the product on this page? We’re looking for clinically-researched ingredients, at the clinical dosage. There are a few hair loss products that have chosen to take this high road, and our favorite is Provillus. You can read our review or go to the official site.
There are a lot of hair loss treatments designed to help stop hair loss or re-grow hair over time. Some of these treatments can take months or even a year before a user sees noticeable improvement. So what are you to do if you need immediate results? You might turn to a spray on product that will help diminish the appearance of hair loss. One such product on the market is called Top Coverage. It is touted as a hair loss concealer that makes bald spots disappear. While its marketing makes this product sound like it might be worth a try. A review of the ingredients and potential drawbacks to this product, this one makes you question whether it is worth your money.
Since Top Coverage isn’t a product designed to treat loss, it isn’t surprising not to find any proprietary ingredients.However, it does contain a lot of chemical components, such as Acrylates/PVP copolymer, Propane iron oxides, and Triethyl citrate. The health risks associated with such direct exposure to chemicals may make you question your vain side.
Top Coverage users are instructed to wash and dry their hair before applying the spray.
If you are trying to disguise a bald spot, after clearing away existing hair from the area, hold the can about 4-6 inches from your head and spray it in with rotating motion. Let it dry for approximately three minutes and adjust existing hair to make area look as natural as possible. Note, Top Coverage recommends using product sparingly. Regardless of what a maker states, a spray on product just won’t look real on individuals who have significant hair loss.
For users dealing with thinning hair, it is recommended by the maker that you start at the back of your head and work forward. You should section your hair into one inch segments parallel to your forehead. After doing so, hold the can 4-6 inches from your head and spray on each sectioned area. After letting the product dry about 3 minutes, comb through and adjust hair.
It is recommended that users wash and dry their hair and reapply the product each morning. You don’t want to get that caked on obvious look! Additionally, the maker indicates that Top Coverage requires shampoo to remove it. A product that isn’t removed by only water might be a selling feature for any swimmers with balding or thinning hair problems.
A 4.5oz aerosol can - think spray paint - varies in price with online vendors. With common vendors, it ranges from $9.95 to $15.95.
In desperation, a spray on product may seem attractive if you have thinning hair or are balding. However, Top Coverage only offers 4 colors (black, brown, light brown, or gray). Actual people have many more hair colors and tones than four; any trip down the beauty line to look at hair coloring will tell you that! Therefore, unless you strike the jackpot, it is unlikely that one of these four colors will match just right. If the color is close and decide to use the product, you have to consider environmental considers such as lighting and wind. This product can only do so much and unfortunately, odds are your cover up will just look silly. Further, its ingredients don’t sound like something that should be on your head, but on your wall!This product is just not the way to go.
