Hair Illusion Black Real Hair Fibers for Thinning Hair - 100% Natural Texture, Non Synthetic Hair Fibers - Bald Spot Cover Up for Women & Men - 18 Gram

First off this thing actual works really well!That being said a few built points:1) First of all I'm not as bald as the guy in the picture, I just have thinning hair on top that tends to show up more in pictures. I think if your that far gone it may not works as well or will look really fake.2) Second I only use this on special events where I know I will be taking lots of pictures like weddings and graduations. I think if I used it everyday it might be to much hassle and not worth the effort.3) When I first used the product I felt a little self–conscious. I thought everyone was going to notice I had something in my hair or someone might point it out, because if you look close enough you can see that you have something in your hair. It kind of looks like when you get a fresh hair cut and you have all the small bits of hair on your scalp only to the 100th power (LOL). However after using the product 4 times both during day and night events out in the sun and in doors under bright lights no one has noticed, or at least not commented about it. Usually I forget about it till I look a pictures of and see I have way more hair then normal.CONS: The only con is that it can be a bit messy. When you apply the product it will get all over the bathroom sink and whatever shirt you have on. The bottle looks like a big salt shaker. It has holes at the top and you literally shake the thing over your bald spot. The bits off cut up hair inside come out and fall on your scalp. some of them get trapped in your hair and that is what gives the look that you have more hair because it builds up. But as you shake the thing over your head the tinny bits of hair will get all over the place. The good news is that just like real hair it brushes off your clothes pretty easily and can be wiped up with a damp cloth from the sink or whatever else it gets on.Also If you forget you have it on and scratch your head you will you will end up with a bunch of hair fragments all over your hand. I didn't get the optional glue so I do not know if that would make a difference. I just spray some hairspray in and that seems to work pretty well. I know they make a pump to help with the application, I may get that down the road to see if that helps mitigate the mess during application.Over all I would recommend this product for someone that has thinning hair and needs a temporary fix to look good for a picture or special event.

I really really wanted to love this product. It is the most natural looking of all the fiber products I've tried so far. The only problem - and it's a big one - is that this product does NOT adhere to your hair! It gets everywhere!!! And I do mean everywhere - on your clothes, on your face, on your pillow, on your sofa, in your contact lenses and on the face of anyone that hugs you, or rubs their face against your hair!I tried using a variety of holding products, sprays, gels - holding products from other hair fibers etc. All because, as I originally stated, I really, really wanted to love this product. Unfortunately, nothing kept this on my hair and off everything else. I finally gave up when a coworker asked me if I got my hair cut that morning because I "had loose hair all over the back of my white lab coat".I still look longingly at the bottle, but I refuse to use it again. I've gone back to a non-human hair fiber that although it does not look as natural, it does stay on my head, and it still allows me to feel comfortable enough to wear my natural hair in public.Revised 10/1/16 - Ronnie at Hair Illusions was wonderful. He encouraged me to try the fibers with the Hair Illusion Holding spray. He recommended I spray before and after applying fibers. I did so, and all I can say is Wow!!! This stuff really works. I was able to go out in a light rain without a head covering and still this stuff held. It also added a nice shine to my hair. I'll be using Hair Illusion (with the proper holding spray) from now on.

You will need hair spray for this product to work. I give credit to the seller because they clearly state this on the Amazon page. However, they went too far to say that you will need THEIR hair spray (as any will work) and that this product produces an "undetectable" result simply because it's human hair vs a synthetic material. They missed the point that these hairs are short (1/16") and curly, but also a particular color, which is unlikely to match your color. When you combine texture, length, color, and the hair spray, anyone but perhaps Stevie Wonder will be able to tell rather quickly that you've done quite a bit to your hair to give the "illusion" of more hair. So to use the word "undetectable" was really too much. I wish advertisers would stop the hype and just come clean and say that this product "can give the appearance of more hair if properly applied".I thought this product was pretty clever--what's better than REAL HUMAN HAIR? But, it's a bit of a joke, really. Imagine taking an electric trimmer set on, say, 1/16", and trimming a bunch of hair. Now take a dust pan and collect those trimmings. Now place them into a bottle and call it "hair illusion". That's what you've got here. I noticed nothing about this product that gives it a static charge, nothing that gives it any kind of stickiness or permanence. It's simply hair that you sprinkle onto your head. If you have hair then it's possible that these trimmings will get trapped by your existing hair, but only until you sneeze. You can trap the hairs by using hair spray as a glue, but that created an odd sensation and a very delicate cosmetic approach that just didn't work for me. Also, I personally feel that the manufacturer should include the hair spray with every bottle so that some people don't skimp and try to use just the hairs because they're really useless without hair spray. If they don't want to include the hair spray to provide an a la carte option for consumers, I'm okay with that. But I then feel that a BIG BOLD sheet should be included with every bottle that warns that you cannot use this product without hair spray.I am returning the product because of all the hyped claims and because it really requires a second person who can hover over you (such as a make-up artist) and properly apply the product with the right amount of hair spray under excellent lighting and with a proper viewing angle.Finally, I think the product is way too expensive for what you get and I also would like to know more about from where these donor hairs came... It's a little creepy to me to have someone else's hairs on my head--but maybe that's just me.
