Towel or blow-dry your hair, or allow it to air-dry completely. Toppik should be used only on dry hair.
Hold the Toppik container 2-3 inches above the areas to be thickened. For targeting small spots, you may bring the container right up to the area.
Shake Toppik liberally over desired areas with the bottle opening facing completely downward. Don’t worry about any fibers falling into surrounding hair, since they will simply disappear.
If you cannot see your back-of-the-head area in the mirror during application, use your other hand to guide you to the areas to be enhanced. If necessary, apply Toppik with your head down, and look in the mirror afterwards. Fill in further as needed. You will soon learn to apply Toppik effectively with only an occasional glance at the mirror or with no mirror at all.
In frontal areas, spread your thumb and forefinger and place your hand on the top of the forehead below the hairline to keep stray fibers from falling onto forehead and eyes. Better yet, use the new Toppik Hairline Optimizer. See below for details.
