I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

I noticed that the product sat on top of my hair and it looked unusual. After tapping down on the product with a brush it settled and looked more natural. Great job at covering my scar!

Not as good lately

This is an awesome product. It makes my hair look very full and thick when in actuality my hair is thinning as I age.
alex –
It’s ok but not like that ok. The fiber is a little bit thick. When I use hair spray it’s clog and dry and fell down from my head.
KatJ –
I love it but I’d sure like to know why the price has jumped up $10 on Amazon for just this color.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Nanogen Hair Building Fiber, Light Brown 30 Grams
This is a must-have product for me. Much less messy than Toppix and doesn’t come out of your hair like Toppix does. It makes the thinning areas at my temples and in the bangs unnoticeable. I have very fine straight hair which started thinning when I quit taking estrogen for hot flashes. At 72 it keeps me looking like I did 15 years ago.
Kindle Customer –
At my age, I’ve seen all the promises and hype. But this stuff really does what it says! It’s inexpensive, it actually covers the bald spots, it’s easy to apply and it makes NO mess. Incredible product. You really can’t tell it’s there.
TABATHA77 –
Been buying this for years. I typically pay $50 for the bottle that’s twice the size (1.05). paid $45 this time for the small 0.52) bottle. The price is absurd. But I’m glad now bc I just switched to HAIR ILLUSION Keratin Hair Fibers…way less than half the cost of Nanogen and it works awesome.

Works very well. Only issue I have is that the dark brown is a grayish tone not a true brown, but it still does the job

Amazing product. I’m 52 years old and had considered surgery for a balding crown. Saw the product on YouTube and was convinced it was a doctored video. Bought a bottle and couldn’t believe how good it looked. Easy to apply and no one at work can even tell I’m using it. Wish I would have known about it sooner.
Pat Ehlers –
Very handy to fill in places in my hair that may need a little cover-up.
Dejure Hest –
This product combined with the mist works well even on completely bald areas. It holds when I sweat and in light rain.
Bpink40 –
I have used this product for years and have tried a few other products that claimed to be as good. Nanogen is by far the best keratin fibers available.

Bruh, this stuff legit af, ya feel me? Like magic powder ya sprinkle on ya hair that make it look like ya got more hair. Way better than that crap ya spray on ya scalp, ya feel me?
Denton Bryce –
Caboki is 10x better.
John Sticky –
Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.

You have to apply more than what it’s necessary leaving thick layers of fibers in your scalp
Patricia A Daniels –
Works great
Rickinator –
Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]
Kindle Customer –
I would definitely recommend this product to folks, it was easy to use and worth the money, the only thing is I wish it came in a larger size for economy sake. I would buy it again.
David Seo –
It works as described on the package.
Review4u –
Works great. I would tap some of the fibers in the lid, use a make up brush to gather fibers from the lid and I would apply to the area where needed with the brush. Hopes this idea will help others.
healthyme –
Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.
Norman Baratian –
I have tried many different brands of keratin hair fibers to cover up my bald spots, and this brand produces quality fibers that truly blend and are unnoticeable. It is also very well priced compared to many other brands.
Jason Oyama –
Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

This product is comparable to or better than Caboki, my first brand. Nanogen is a little pricy. But it seems to match my hair better than other fibers I’ve tried (Dr. Jones, and a cheap knock off brand) and looks better.The only thing I’d like to see improved: the bottle size. It’s a little small in diameter. A larger bottle is easier for me to hold and apply.

Great product. Truly recommend it. It’s worth the 3 mind a day it takes to apply. It even stays on under moist conditions , just apply a bit of hairspray.

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!

I guess it’s okay if you’re trying to over small areas. It have a dull affect.

Great product. Truly recommend it. It’s worth the 3 mind a day it takes to apply. It even stays on under moist conditions , just apply a bit of hairspray.

It deliver what was promised. It is very easy to use. And what I like most is that almost no mess. Thank you.

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

I bought this for my 70 year old mother who is losing a bit of hair but mostly just on the top. She’s self conscious about it, so her stylist recommended this product. He told her it was just like pepper but with static cling, so it sticks to your hair. Well he was right!! She loves it and is amazed how well it covers the area she was concerned about on top. Great product!!!!

The extra color on my roots and scalp helps to hide my thinning hairline; so that when the wind blows, I don’t feel so self conscious.

Never used a product like this. Wanted to use for thinning hair. The dark brown has a blue tint to it compared to my real dark brown hair.

I love this product, after trying many others in the market and feeling like they were so obvious.I decided to give this a try it’s been fantasticI love that is less obvious, Than topik and it doesn’t clump. it’s better than extreme fiber ot anything else in the market. Worth the price, I’m buying it again

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

Works great. I would tap some of the fibers in the lid, use a make up brush to gather fibers from the lid and I would apply to the area where needed with the brush. Hopes this idea will help others.
healthyme –
Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

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!).

Love this product way more than Toppik. Using Toppik I experienced an itchy scalp that literally drove me almost to insanity. Later on I learned that this product contains wool. I just pour this into my Toppik container and the sprayer works the same as it did with the Toppik. Would recommend going one shade lighter than your color and using the sprayer. I also use a mask since those fibers end up everywhere and I don’t want to inhale them. Just get use to the fact that you will have little fibers all over your counter and plan on cleaning the bathroom a little more often. Will be purchasing again.

Rickinator –
Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]
MrHappyGuy –
I am a man in his early twenties, and have noticed thinning hair since I turned 18. I later found out this is because I have Hypothyroid.Anyways, I heard about concealers 6 months, used toppik at first. Toppik is really good, but where nanogen stand outs (of course higher price) is that it makes your hair softer, and does not have that saw dust feel to it.The fibers do not come out with water, or gel, however if you get your scalp wet (extermly like in shower, not rain drizzle) you will see that fibers settle down, and if you do not have enough fuzz, then it will show.Ofcourse, it gets on your finger and nails if you run your hand thru it, so beware if anyone not knowing about it touches your hair, they might figure it out.I have been using it for 6 months, and my roomates have still to find out about it, so I guess you get the idea.
John Sticky –
Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.

The extra color on my roots and scalp helps to hide my thinning hairline; so that when the wind blows, I don’t feel so self conscious.

This is an awesome product. It makes my hair look very full and thick when in actuality my hair is thinning as I age.

After trying many brands of Hair Fibers, finally found “The One”! This stuff works great, and the elelctro-charged dispenser is no gimmick, it works to help the fibers stick to your existing hair. Also, actually received a Genuine Product, have ordered many bottles of Toppik and XFusion from Amazon, many being clever fakes and not genuine, this bottle of Nanogen was definitely legit/authentic. So I know what I’m putting on my head. This will now be my go to product!

If you know anyone with thinning hair or a bald spot, this product is amazing. It really builds confidence in men/women that have thinning issues. We have shared it with a lot of our guy friends and they love it too! I love hearing these guys talk about how amazed they are and how much better it makes them feel about their appearance.

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

I have used Caboki, Xfusion, Toppik,, you name it and this is by far my favorite. Easily disguisable, no one can notice except if you are REALLY up close and even then it is hard to tell – no complaints. 5 stars!

Holds up well, through sweat, small mist of rain. Probably one of the best on the market, as I have tried a few. Covers areas very well. I would highly recommend. Looks very natural.

Amazing product. I’m 52 years old and had considered surgery for a balding crown. Saw the product on YouTube and was convinced it was a doctored video. Bought a bottle and couldn’t believe how good it looked. Easy to apply and no one at work can even tell I’m using it. Wish I would have known about it sooner.
Bob Brewer –
Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.
Rocio suarez –
I love this product, after trying many others in the market and feeling like they were so obvious.I decided to give this a try it’s been fantasticI love that is less obvious, Than topik and it doesn’t clump. it’s better than extreme fiber ot anything else in the market. Worth the price, I’m buying it again
SJC –
Never used a product like this. Wanted to use for thinning hair. The dark brown has a blue tint to it compared to my real dark brown hair.
Nana –
I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

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!

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

I’ve tried several brands of concealer and this one works the best for me. The fibers go on easily and stay put. The color works well with my dark blonde hair and does not irritate my scalp. I only wish that it had the little applicator bulb that Toppik makes and I’d be in hair loss heaven. Definitely worth the money.

Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.
Jason Oyama –
Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

I bought this for my mother who has thinning hair which is causing bald spots on top of scalp. I sprinkle this product in the areas and lightly rub it in with her own hair and amazingly it conceals the balding spots. This product is extremely easy to use and a quick fix to conceal the balding areas.
MrHappyGuy –
I am a man in his early twenties, and have noticed thinning hair since I turned 18. I later found out this is because I have Hypothyroid.Anyways, I heard about concealers 6 months, used toppik at first. Toppik is really good, but where nanogen stand outs (of course higher price) is that it makes your hair softer, and does not have that saw dust feel to it.The fibers do not come out with water, or gel, however if you get your scalp wet (extermly like in shower, not rain drizzle) you will see that fibers settle down, and if you do not have enough fuzz, then it will show.Ofcourse, it gets on your finger and nails if you run your hand thru it, so beware if anyone not knowing about it touches your hair, they might figure it out.I have been using it for 6 months, and my roomates have still to find out about it, so I guess you get the idea.

This product is comparable to or better than Caboki, my first brand. Nanogen is a little pricy. But it seems to match my hair better than other fibers I’ve tried (Dr. Jones, and a cheap knock off brand) and looks better.The only thing I’d like to see improved: the bottle size. It’s a little small in diameter. A larger bottle is easier for me to hold and apply.

Buckeye Blue –
My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

This product is comparable to or better than Caboki, my first brand. Nanogen is a little pricy. But it seems to match my hair better than other fibers I’ve tried (Dr. Jones, and a cheap knock off brand) and looks better.The only thing I’d like to see improved: the bottle size. It’s a little small in diameter. A larger bottle is easier for me to hold and apply.
KLD –
If you know anyone with thinning hair or a bald spot, this product is amazing. It really builds confidence in men/women that have thinning issues. We have shared it with a lot of our guy friends and they love it too! I love hearing these guys talk about how amazed they are and how much better it makes them feel about their appearance.

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

Bob Brewer –
Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.
D*Rocks –
After trying many brands of Hair Fibers, finally found “The One”! This stuff works great, and the elelctro-charged dispenser is no gimmick, it works to help the fibers stick to your existing hair. Also, actually received a Genuine Product, have ordered many bottles of Toppik and XFusion from Amazon, many being clever fakes and not genuine, this bottle of Nanogen was definitely legit/authentic. So I know what I’m putting on my head. This will now be my go to product!

Works very well. Only issue I have is that the dark brown is a grayish tone not a true brown, but it still does the job
John Sticky –
Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.
MARIA V. –
This product does exactly what it claims to do. It’s very easy to use and covers the bald spots in seconds. I’m a 60 years old woman and after dying my hair those spots looked awful. Nanogen solved this problem.I’m very pleased with the results and will surely recommend it.

MommyG –
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!
John Sticky –

Rickinator –
Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

It does it’s job at covering the bald spots naturally, but it has a peculiar odor.
MollyW –
This product has changed to way I feel about my appearance, and is a regular staple part of my beauty routine! My only complaint is that I wish I had found it sooner and saved myself much self conciousness and depression about my hair thinning. It is undetectable and doesn’t use fillers (cotton, wool,etc) like so many others do. Highly recomend this! The spray is also a good product to use, it really does keep it in place longer.
Nana –
I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

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 used Caboki, Xfusion, Toppik,, you name it and this is by far my favorite. Easily disguisable, no one can notice except if you are REALLY up close and even then it is hard to tell – no complaints. 5 stars!

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!

Very pleased with this product. Takes way less time than the powder I had been using which requires a wet applicator and thus wets the hair. Nanofibres go on dry hair. Just tap a little on. Some powder does fall on my forehead if I am putting this on the front hairline but it easily wipes away with a dry tissue. It doesn’t mix in with my make-up. Makes my hair look so much thicker. I have used it without hairspray (to set it) and all was fine but I didn’t perspire heavily so the staying power was not tested. Love this and thanks to the other reviewers for their helpful info.

This product combined with the mist works well even on completely bald areas. It holds when I sweat and in light rain.

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

Have to have this on hand now, always. Easy to use. Quick and sure coverage. Lasts long. Color (dark brown) is great. 71 year old lady with confidence that Nanogen coverage works. Really appreciate this product.

My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

Nanogen Hair Building Fiber, Light Brown 30 Grams
This is a must-have product for me. Much less messy than Toppix and doesn’t come out of your hair like Toppix does. It makes the thinning areas at my temples and in the bangs unnoticeable. I have very fine straight hair which started thinning when I quit taking estrogen for hot flashes. At 72 it keeps me looking like I did 15 years ago.

Love this product way more than Toppik. Using Toppik I experienced an itchy scalp that literally drove me almost to insanity. Later on I learned that this product contains wool. I just pour this into my Toppik container and the sprayer works the same as it did with the Toppik. Would recommend going one shade lighter than your color and using the sprayer. I also use a mask since those fibers end up everywhere and I don’t want to inhale them. Just get use to the fact that you will have little fibers all over your counter and plan on cleaning the bathroom a little more often. Will be purchasing again.

Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.

I bought this for my mother who has thinning hair which is causing bald spots on top of scalp. I sprinkle this product in the areas and lightly rub it in with her own hair and amazingly it conceals the balding spots. This product is extremely easy to use and a quick fix to conceal the balding areas.

I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

this helps me feel a little less baldy. it’s a slight enough difference that i notice and feel better about. i’ve lost crown hair due to physical illness and this does help out. a lot cheaper than some alternatives!

Works very well. Only issue I have is that the dark brown is a grayish tone not a true brown, but it still does the job

Holds up well, through sweat, small mist of rain. Probably one of the best on the market, as I have tried a few. Covers areas very well. I would highly recommend. Looks very natural.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

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!

I love this product, after trying many others in the market and feeling like they were so obvious.I decided to give this a try it’s been fantasticI love that is less obvious, Than topik and it doesn’t clump. it’s better than extreme fiber ot anything else in the market. Worth the price, I’m buying it again
Kindle Customer –
I would definitely recommend this product to folks, it was easy to use and worth the money, the only thing is I wish it came in a larger size for economy sake. I would buy it again.
MommyG –
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.

MrHappyGuy –
I am a man in his early twenties, and have noticed thinning hair since I turned 18. I later found out this is because I have Hypothyroid.Anyways, I heard about concealers 6 months, used toppik at first. Toppik is really good, but where nanogen stand outs (of course higher price) is that it makes your hair softer, and does not have that saw dust feel to it.The fibers do not come out with water, or gel, however if you get your scalp wet (extermly like in shower, not rain drizzle) you will see that fibers settle down, and if you do not have enough fuzz, then it will show.Ofcourse, it gets on your finger and nails if you run your hand thru it, so beware if anyone not knowing about it touches your hair, they might figure it out.I have been using it for 6 months, and my roomates have still to find out about it, so I guess you get the idea.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Bob Brewer –
Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.
Jennifer B. –
Love this product way more than Toppik. Using Toppik I experienced an itchy scalp that literally drove me almost to insanity. Later on I learned that this product contains wool. I just pour this into my Toppik container and the sprayer works the same as it did with the Toppik. Would recommend going one shade lighter than your color and using the sprayer. I also use a mask since those fibers end up everywhere and I don’t want to inhale them. Just get use to the fact that you will have little fibers all over your counter and plan on cleaning the bathroom a little more often. Will be purchasing again.

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

I’ve tried several brands of concealer and this one works the best for me. The fibers go on easily and stay put. The color works well with my dark blonde hair and does not irritate my scalp. I only wish that it had the little applicator bulb that Toppik makes and I’d be in hair loss heaven. Definitely worth the money.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

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!

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

Holds up well, through sweat, small mist of rain. Probably one of the best on the market, as I have tried a few. Covers areas very well. I would highly recommend. Looks very natural.

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

I guess it’s okay if you’re trying to over small areas. It have a dull affect.

Works great. I would tap some of the fibers in the lid, use a make up brush to gather fibers from the lid and I would apply to the area where needed with the brush. Hopes this idea will help others.

Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]

Nanogen has worked very well for me. My only complaint is the smell of the locking mist. I can’t use it because it smells like men’s cologne, I am a woman. Any way to make an unscented locking mist? I would definitely buy it.
Chito –
Great product. Truly recommend it. It’s worth the 3 mind a day it takes to apply. It even stays on under moist conditions , just apply a bit of hairspray.
Salvador –

I really liked toppik, but this product is just better. The fibers don’t get on everything when I’m applying it. I also need less product than I did with toppik. This works amazing and it’s a total life saver.

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it.

I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

It does it’s job at covering the bald spots naturally, but it has a peculiar odor.

Product is good. The bottle came damaged and fillaments spilled into the packaging.

I noticed that the product sat on top of my hair and it looked unusual. After tapping down on the product with a brush it settled and looked more natural. Great job at covering my scar!

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

This product has changed to way I feel about my appearance, and is a regular staple part of my beauty routine! My only complaint is that I wish I had found it sooner and saved myself much self conciousness and depression about my hair thinning. It is undetectable and doesn’t use fillers (cotton, wool,etc) like so many others do. Highly recomend this! The spray is also a good product to use, it really does keep it in place longer.

The extra color on my roots and scalp helps to hide my thinning hairline; so that when the wind blows, I don’t feel so self conscious.

Nanogen Hair Building Fiber, Light Brown 30 Grams
This is a must-have product for me. Much less messy than Toppix and doesn’t come out of your hair like Toppix does. It makes the thinning areas at my temples and in the bangs unnoticeable. I have very fine straight hair which started thinning when I quit taking estrogen for hot flashes. At 72 it keeps me looking like I did 15 years ago.

This is an awesome product. It makes my hair look very full and thick when in actuality my hair is thinning as I age.
Michael L –
Comparing this to Toppik, I like this much better. Toppik seems to have a greenish tint and is almost jet black color which doesn’t match my natural black hair color. People say Nanogen black color looks gray but I haven’t noticed that when applied to my hair. Nanogen goes on and stays on my hair better than Toppik and looks more natural looking. Use a pump hair spray medium to strong hold to keep fibers in hair. The only negative it’s kinda pricey.
Rocio suarez –
I love this product, after trying many others in the market and feeling like they were so obvious.I decided to give this a try it’s been fantasticI love that is less obvious, Than topik and it doesn’t clump. it’s better than extreme fiber ot anything else in the market. Worth the price, I’m buying it again

This product is comparable to or better than Caboki, my first brand. Nanogen is a little pricy. But it seems to match my hair better than other fibers I’ve tried (Dr. Jones, and a cheap knock off brand) and looks better.The only thing I’d like to see improved: the bottle size. It’s a little small in diameter. A larger bottle is easier for me to hold and apply.
Amber –
wow! I am so amazed by this product. I have been using a spray and if i touch where i had sprayed it comes off on my hand, this produce doesn’t. i have a slight thinning of the hair right on top and this totally covers it and i am able to rub it in with my hands and nothing gets on my hands, wont be my last order of this product

Buckeye Blue –
My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!

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.

You have to apply more than what it’s necessary leaving thick layers of fibers in your scalp

Very pleased with this product. Takes way less time than the powder I had been using which requires a wet applicator and thus wets the hair. Nanofibres go on dry hair. Just tap a little on. Some powder does fall on my forehead if I am putting this on the front hairline but it easily wipes away with a dry tissue. It doesn’t mix in with my make-up. Makes my hair look so much thicker. I have used it without hairspray (to set it) and all was fine but I didn’t perspire heavily so the staying power was not tested. Love this and thanks to the other reviewers for their helpful info.

After trying many brands of Hair Fibers, finally found “The One”! This stuff works great, and the elelctro-charged dispenser is no gimmick, it works to help the fibers stick to your existing hair. Also, actually received a Genuine Product, have ordered many bottles of Toppik and XFusion from Amazon, many being clever fakes and not genuine, this bottle of Nanogen was definitely legit/authentic. So I know what I’m putting on my head. This will now be my go to product!

If you know anyone with thinning hair or a bald spot, this product is amazing. It really builds confidence in men/women that have thinning issues. We have shared it with a lot of our guy friends and they love it too! I love hearing these guys talk about how amazed they are and how much better it makes them feel about their appearance.

I bought this for my mother who has thinning hair which is causing bald spots on top of scalp. I sprinkle this product in the areas and lightly rub it in with her own hair and amazingly it conceals the balding spots. This product is extremely easy to use and a quick fix to conceal the balding areas.

I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

Have to have this on hand now, always. Easy to use. Quick and sure coverage. Lasts long. Color (dark brown) is great. 71 year old lady with confidence that Nanogen coverage works. Really appreciate this product.

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously.

Works great for covering thin patched
Amber –
wow! I am so amazed by this product. I have been using a spray and if i touch where i had sprayed it comes off on my hand, this produce doesn’t. i have a slight thinning of the hair right on top and this totally covers it and i am able to rub it in with my hands and nothing gets on my hands, wont be my last order of this product
roger vijosky –
This product really works! It will not stain clothing or leave permanent residue on your pillow covers.The service and the shipping process was extremely efficient. I am very happy with the product.
Rocio suarez –
I love this product, after trying many others in the market and feeling like they were so obvious.I decided to give this a try it’s been fantasticI love that is less obvious, Than topik and it doesn’t clump. it’s better than extreme fiber ot anything else in the market. Worth the price, I’m buying it again

This works well for my female alopecia. It hides my scalp and makes me feel better about myself.Try NOT to breath in the particles, i am sure that is not good for your sinuses and lungs.

Amazing product. I’m 52 years old and had considered surgery for a balding crown. Saw the product on YouTube and was convinced it was a doctored video. Bought a bottle and couldn’t believe how good it looked. Easy to apply and no one at work can even tell I’m using it. Wish I would have known about it sooner.

This product does the job, however it is probably only the third best product of its kind on the market

After trying many brands of Hair Fibers, finally found “The One”! This stuff works great, and the elelctro-charged dispenser is no gimmick, it works to help the fibers stick to your existing hair. Also, actually received a Genuine Product, have ordered many bottles of Toppik and XFusion from Amazon, many being clever fakes and not genuine, this bottle of Nanogen was definitely legit/authentic. So I know what I’m putting on my head. This will now be my go to product!

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

If you know anyone with thinning hair or a bald spot, this product is amazing. It really builds confidence in men/women that have thinning issues. We have shared it with a lot of our guy friends and they love it too! I love hearing these guys talk about how amazed they are and how much better it makes them feel about their appearance.

It’s ok but not like that ok. The fiber is a little bit thick. When I use hair spray it’s clog and dry and fell down from my head.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

I have tried many different brands of keratin hair fibers to cover up my bald spots, and this brand produces quality fibers that truly blend and are unnoticeable. It is also very well priced compared to many other brands.
Omar –
It does it’s job at covering the bald spots naturally, but it has a peculiar odor.

I really liked toppik, but this product is just better. The fibers don’t get on everything when I’m applying it. I also need less product than I did with toppik. This works amazing and it’s a total life saver.

Nanogen Hair Building Fiber, Light Brown 30 Grams
This is a must-have product for me. Much less messy than Toppix and doesn’t come out of your hair like Toppix does. It makes the thinning areas at my temples and in the bangs unnoticeable. I have very fine straight hair which started thinning when I quit taking estrogen for hot flashes. At 72 it keeps me looking like I did 15 years ago.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.
MrHappyGuy –
I am a man in his early twenties, and have noticed thinning hair since I turned 18. I later found out this is because I have Hypothyroid.Anyways, I heard about concealers 6 months, used toppik at first. Toppik is really good, but where nanogen stand outs (of course higher price) is that it makes your hair softer, and does not have that saw dust feel to it.The fibers do not come out with water, or gel, however if you get your scalp wet (extermly like in shower, not rain drizzle) you will see that fibers settle down, and if you do not have enough fuzz, then it will show.Ofcourse, it gets on your finger and nails if you run your hand thru it, so beware if anyone not knowing about it touches your hair, they might figure it out.I have been using it for 6 months, and my roomates have still to find out about it, so I guess you get the idea.
KatJ –
I love it but I’d sure like to know why the price has jumped up $10 on Amazon for just this color.
MommyG –
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.
koolmets21 –
I have used Caboki, Xfusion, Toppik,, you name it and this is by far my favorite. Easily disguisable, no one can notice except if you are REALLY up close and even then it is hard to tell – no complaints. 5 stars!

My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!

John Sticky –
Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.
Marvin B –
I have been using it now for over a year and would recommend it.

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!

I bought this for my mother who has thinning hair which is causing bald spots on top of scalp. I sprinkle this product in the areas and lightly rub it in with her own hair and amazingly it conceals the balding spots.

Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

I have used this product for years and have tried a few other products that claimed to be as good. Nanogen is by far the best keratin fibers available.

Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Very pleased with this product. Takes way less time than the powder I had been using which requires a wet applicator and thus wets the hair. Nanofibres go on dry hair. Just tap a little on. Some powder does fall on my forehead if I am putting this on the front hairline but it easily wipes away with a dry tissue. It doesn’t mix in with my make-up. Makes my hair look so much thicker. I have used it without hairspray (to set it) and all was fine but I didn’t perspire heavily so the staying power was not tested. Love this and thanks to the other reviewers for their helpful info.

Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

You have to apply more than what it’s necessary leaving thick layers of fibers in your scalp

This works well for my female alopecia. It hides my scalp and makes me feel better about myself.Try NOT to breath in the particles, i am sure that is not good for your sinuses and lungs.
Cara Ashley –
Product is good. The bottle came damaged and fillaments spilled into the packaging.
Norman Baratian –
I have tried many different brands of keratin hair fibers to cover up my bald spots, and this brand produces quality fibers that truly blend and are unnoticeable. It is also very well priced compared to many other brands.

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!

Works perfectly. Makes my hair look fuller and natural.
MommyG –
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 would definitely recommend this product to folks, it was easy to use and worth the money, the only thing is I wish it came in a larger size for economy sake. I would buy it again.
Jennifer B. –
Love this product way more than Toppik. Using Toppik I experienced an itchy scalp that literally drove me almost to insanity. Later on I learned that this product contains wool. I just pour this into my Toppik container and the sprayer works the same as it did with the Toppik. Would recommend going one shade lighter than your color and using the sprayer. I also use a mask since those fibers end up everywhere and I don’t want to inhale them. Just get use to the fact that you will have little fibers all over your counter and plan on cleaning the bathroom a little more often. Will be purchasing again.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.
MARIA V. –
This product does exactly what it claims to do. It’s very easy to use and covers the bald spots in seconds. I’m a 60 years old woman and after dying my hair those spots looked awful. Nanogen solved this problem.I’m very pleased with the results and will surely recommend it.
C. Motion –
This product is comparable to or better than Caboki, my first brand. Nanogen is a little pricy. But it seems to match my hair better than other fibers I’ve tried (Dr. Jones, and a cheap knock off brand) and looks better.The only thing I’d like to see improved: the bottle size. It’s a little small in diameter. A larger bottle is easier for me to hold and apply.
Rocio suarez –
I love this product, after trying many others in the market and feeling like they were so obvious.I decided to give this a try it’s been fantasticI love that is less obvious, Than topik and it doesn’t clump. it’s better than extreme fiber ot anything else in the market. Worth the price, I’m buying it again

Buckeye Blue –
My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!

I am a man in his early twenties, and have noticed thinning hair since I turned 18. I later found out this is because I have Hypothyroid.Anyways, I heard about concealers 6 months, used toppik at first. Toppik is really good, but where nanogen stand outs (of course higher price) is that it makes your hair softer, and does not have that saw dust feel to it.The fibers do not come out with water, or gel, however if you get your scalp wet (extermly like in shower, not rain drizzle) you will see that fibers settle down, and if you do not have enough fuzz, then it will show.Ofcourse, it gets on your finger and nails if you run your hand thru it, so beware if anyone not knowing about it touches your hair, they might figure it out.I have been using it for 6 months, and my roomates have still to find out about it, so I guess you get the idea.
Amber –
wow! I am so amazed by this product. I have been using a spray and if i touch where i had sprayed it comes off on my hand, this produce doesn’t. i have a slight thinning of the hair right on top and this totally covers it and i am able to rub it in with my hands and nothing gets on my hands, wont be my last order of this product
Jason Oyama –
Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

I noticed that the product sat on top of my hair and it looked unusual. After tapping down on the product with a brush it settled and looked more natural. Great job at covering my scar!

I bought this for my mother who has thinning hair which is causing bald spots on top of scalp. I sprinkle this product in the areas and lightly rub it in with her own hair and amazingly it conceals the balding spots. This product is extremely easy to use and a quick fix to conceal the balding areas.

Amazing product. I’m 52 years old and had considered surgery for a balding crown. Saw the product on YouTube and was convinced it was a doctored video. Bought a bottle and couldn’t believe how good it looked. Easy to apply and no one at work can even tell I’m using it. Wish I would have known about it sooner.

Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

Work pretty well. Water resistant As long as the fibers can grab on the thinning hair. Looks natural as long as you spray sprites then apply the hair fiber and then blow dry the rest away!The black well look grey at first but then becomes black so don’t worry! I high recommend this for men that’s fight hair loss!

Average- would rate it as effective as Toppik

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.
Nana –
I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.

Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

I would definitely recommend this product to folks, it was easy to use and worth the money, the only thing is I wish it came in a larger size for economy sake. I would buy it again.

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!

Don’t buy, product description didn’t mention anything about needing a setting spray and they won’t let me return it for a refund. The photo speaks for itself.

I really liked toppik, but this product is just better. The fibers don’t get on everything when I’m applying it. I also need less product than I did with toppik. This works amazing and it’s a total life saver.

Amazing product. I’m 52 years old and had considered surgery for a balding crown. Saw the product on YouTube and was convinced it was a doctored video. Bought a bottle and couldn’t believe how good it looked. Easy to apply and no one at work can even tell I’m using it. Wish I would have known about it sooner.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Nanogen Hair Building Fiber, Light Brown 30 Grams
This is a must-have product for me. Much less messy than Toppix and doesn’t come out of your hair like Toppix does. It makes the thinning areas at my temples and in the bangs unnoticeable. I have very fine straight hair which started thinning when I quit taking estrogen for hot flashes. At 72 it keeps me looking like I did 15 years ago.

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

I am a man in his early twenties, and have noticed thinning hair since I turned 18. I later found out this is because I have Hypothyroid.Anyways, I heard about concealers 6 months, used toppik at first. Toppik is really good, but where nanogen stand outs (of course higher price) is that it makes your hair softer, and does not have that saw dust feel to it.The fibers do not come out with water, or gel, however if you get your scalp wet (extermly like in shower, not rain drizzle) you will see that fibers settle down, and if you do not have enough fuzz, then it will show.Ofcourse, it gets on your finger and nails if you run your hand thru it, so beware if anyone not knowing about it touches your hair, they might figure it out.I have been using it for 6 months, and my roomates have still to find out about it, so I guess you get the idea.
Amber –
wow! I am so amazed by this product. I have been using a spray and if i touch where i had sprayed it comes off on my hand, this produce doesn’t. i have a slight thinning of the hair right on top and this totally covers it and i am able to rub it in with my hands and nothing gets on my hands, wont be my last order of this product

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

Works perfectly. Makes my hair look fuller and natural.

I have used Caboki, Xfusion, Toppik,, you name it and this is by far my favorite. Easily disguisable, no one can notice except if you are REALLY up close and even then it is hard to tell – no complaints. 5 stars!

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

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!

Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]

Very pleased with this product. Takes way less time than the powder I had been using which requires a wet applicator and thus wets the hair. Nanofibres go on dry hair. Just tap a little on. Some powder does fall on my forehead if I am putting this on the front hairline but it easily wipes away with a dry tissue. It doesn’t mix in with my make-up. Makes my hair look so much thicker. I have used it without hairspray (to set it) and all was fine but I didn’t perspire heavily so the staying power was not tested. Love this and thanks to the other reviewers for their helpful info.

After trying many brands of Hair Fibers, finally found “The One”! This stuff works great, and the elelctro-charged dispenser is no gimmick, it works to help the fibers stick to your existing hair. Also, actually received a Genuine Product, have ordered many bottles of Toppik and XFusion from Amazon, many being clever fakes and not genuine, this bottle of Nanogen was definitely legit/authentic. So I know what I’m putting on my head. This will now be my go to product!

I have tried many different brands of keratin hair fibers to cover up my bald spots, and this brand produces quality fibers that truly blend and are unnoticeable. It is also very well priced compared to many other brands.

I have used this product for years and have tried a few other products that claimed to be as good. Nanogen is by far the best keratin fibers available.
Demetrius Long –
Work pretty well. Water resistant As long as the fibers can grab on the thinning hair. Looks natural as long as you spray sprites then apply the hair fiber and then blow dry the rest away!The black well look grey at first but then becomes black so don’t worry! I high recommend this for men that’s fight hair loss!

You have to apply more than what it’s necessary leaving thick layers of fibers in your scalp

Caboki is 10x better.

Works great. I would tap some of the fibers in the lid, use a make up brush to gather fibers from the lid and I would apply to the area where needed with the brush. Hopes this idea will help others.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Nanogen Hair Building Fiber, Light Brown 30 Grams
This is a must-have product for me. Much less messy than Toppix and doesn’t come out of your hair like Toppix does. It makes the thinning areas at my temples and in the bangs unnoticeable. I have very fine straight hair which started thinning when I quit taking estrogen for hot flashes. At 72 it keeps me looking like I did 15 years ago.

This product does exactly what it claims to do. It’s very easy to use and covers the bald spots in seconds. I’m a 60 years old woman and after dying my hair those spots looked awful. Nanogen solved this problem.I’m very pleased with the results and will surely recommend it.

Love this product way more than Toppik. Using Toppik I experienced an itchy scalp that literally drove me almost to insanity. Later on I learned that this product contains wool. I just pour this into my Toppik container and the sprayer works the same as it did with the Toppik. Would recommend going one shade lighter than your color and using the sprayer. I also use a mask since those fibers end up everywhere and I don’t want to inhale them. Just get use to the fact that you will have little fibers all over your counter and plan on cleaning the bathroom a little more often. Will be purchasing again.
Patricia A Daniels –

John Sticky –
Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.
Paul M. Berthon –
I noticed that the product sat on top of my hair and it looked unusual. After tapping down on the product with a brush it settled and looked more natural. Great job at covering my scar!
healthyme –
Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

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.

Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

Work pretty well. Water resistant As long as the fibers can grab on the thinning hair. Looks natural as long as you spray sprites then apply the hair fiber and then blow dry the rest away!The black well look grey at first but then becomes black so don’t worry! I high recommend this for men that’s fight hair loss!

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 havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

I have tried many similar products but Nanogen really works.

Work pretty well. Water resistant As long as the fibers can grab on the thinning hair. Looks natural as long as you spray sprites then apply the hair fiber and then blow dry the rest away!The black well look grey at first but then becomes black so don’t worry! I high recommend this for men that’s fight hair loss!

The extra color on my roots and scalp helps to hide my thinning hairline; so that when the wind blows, I don’t feel so self conscious.

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!

Have to have this on hand now, always. Easy to use. Quick and sure coverage. Lasts long. Color (dark brown) is great. 71 year old lady with confidence that Nanogen coverage works. Really appreciate this product.

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.

Works great. I would tap some of the fibers in the lid, use a make up brush to gather fibers from the lid and I would apply to the area where needed with the brush. Hopes this idea will help others.

I have something called telogen effluvium and have lost about 30% of my hair over the last few weeks. Gives me horrid shiny scalp and some crown balding. This product has saved me £££s in hair pieces/extensions whilst I wait for it to grown back. See before and after pics.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Holds up well, through sweat, small mist of rain. Probably one of the best on the market, as I have tried a few. Covers areas very well. I would highly recommend. Looks very natural.
healthyme –
Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.
Chito –
Great product. Truly recommend it. It’s worth the 3 mind a day it takes to apply. It even stays on under moist conditions , just apply a bit of hairspray.

This works well for my female alopecia. It hides my scalp and makes me feel better about myself.Try NOT to breath in the particles, i am sure that is not good for your sinuses and lungs.

Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]

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.

Nanogen Hair Building Fiber, Light Brown 30 Grams
This is a must-have product for me. Much less messy than Toppix and doesn’t come out of your hair like Toppix does. It makes the thinning areas at my temples and in the bangs unnoticeable. I have very fine straight hair which started thinning when I quit taking estrogen for hot flashes. At 72 it keeps me looking like I did 15 years ago.
Jennifer B. –
Love this product way more than Toppik. Using Toppik I experienced an itchy scalp that literally drove me almost to insanity. Later on I learned that this product contains wool. I just pour this into my Toppik container and the sprayer works the same as it did with the Toppik. Would recommend going one shade lighter than your color and using the sprayer. I also use a mask since those fibers end up everywhere and I don’t want to inhale them. Just get use to the fact that you will have little fibers all over your counter and plan on cleaning the bathroom a little more often. Will be purchasing again.
Cara Ashley –
Product is good. The bottle came damaged and fillaments spilled into the packaging.
M Harrison –
I have tried many similar products but Nanogen really works.
Rickinator –
Says it lasts 45-60 days; not even close. More like 4 weeks for me, used about 4 times a week, and I have approximately 85% of my hair. How would they know how much thinning someone has had? It could also be less expensive than $25 for a little container. Maybe the price will come down a bit sometime. Also, I think it used to tell what color it is, but now there is no indication of this on the container, only in the order form. That being said, it does seem to be a superior product compared to others. Mine looks like […] only more lost in back and on top. Or like this with more lost in back. […]

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!

I bought this for my 70 year old mother who is losing a bit of hair but mostly just on the top. She’s self conscious about it, so her stylist recommended this product. He told her it was just like pepper but with static cling, so it sticks to your hair. Well he was right!! She loves it and is amazed how well it covers the area she was concerned about on top. Great product!!!!

You have to apply more than what it’s necessary leaving thick layers of fibers in your scalp
Pat Ehlers –
Very handy to fill in places in my hair that may need a little cover-up.

After trying many brands of Hair Fibers, finally found “The One”! This stuff works great, and the elelctro-charged dispenser is no gimmick, it works to help the fibers stick to your existing hair. Also, actually received a Genuine Product, have ordered many bottles of Toppik and XFusion from Amazon, many being clever fakes and not genuine, this bottle of Nanogen was definitely legit/authentic. So I know what I’m putting on my head. This will now be my go to product!

I have tried many different brands of keratin hair fibers to cover up my bald spots, and this brand produces quality fibers that truly blend and are unnoticeable. It is also very well priced compared to many other brands.

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.

If you know anyone with thinning hair or a bald spot, this product is amazing. It really builds confidence in men/women that have thinning issues. We have shared it with a lot of our guy friends and they love it too! I love hearing these guys talk about how amazed they are and how much better it makes them feel about their appearance.

I bought this for my mother who has thinning hair which is causing bald spots on top of scalp. I sprinkle this product in the areas and lightly rub it in with her own hair and amazingly it conceals the balding spots. This product is extremely easy to use and a quick fix to conceal the balding areas.
MontyP –
Average- would rate it as effective as Toppik
Shana M. –
This is an awesome product. It makes my hair look very full and thick when in actuality my hair is thinning as I age.
Paul M. Berthon –
I noticed that the product sat on top of my hair and it looked unusual. After tapping down on the product with a brush it settled and looked more natural. Great job at covering my scar!
Kindle Customer –
I would definitely recommend this product to folks, it was easy to use and worth the money, the only thing is I wish it came in a larger size for economy sake. I would buy it again.

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

Bob Brewer –
Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

The extra color on my roots and scalp helps to hide my thinning hairline; so that when the wind blows, I don’t feel so self conscious.

My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.
Marvin B –
I have been using it now for over a year and would recommend it.
Dinamite0529 –
I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

Comparing this to Toppik, I like this much better. Toppik seems to have a greenish tint and is almost jet black color which doesn’t match my natural black hair color. People say Nanogen black color looks gray but I haven’t noticed that when applied to my hair. Nanogen goes on and stays on my hair better than Toppik and looks more natural looking. Use a pump hair spray medium to strong hold to keep fibers in hair. The only negative it’s kinda pricey.
Sweater Girl –
Nanogen has worked very well for me. My only complaint is the smell of the locking mist. I can’t use it because it smells like men’s cologne, I am a woman. Any way to make an unscented locking mist? I would definitely buy it.

I have used Caboki, Xfusion, Toppik,, you name it and this is by far my favorite. Easily disguisable, no one can notice except if you are REALLY up close and even then it is hard to tell – no complaints. 5 stars!

This product combined with the mist works well even on completely bald areas. It holds when I sweat and in light rain.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

I have tried many different brands of keratin hair fibers to cover up my bald spots, and this brand produces quality fibers that truly blend and are unnoticeable. It is also very well priced compared to many other brands.

I noticed that the product sat on top of my hair and it looked unusual. After tapping down on the product with a brush it settled and looked more natural. Great job at covering my scar!

This product is comparable to or better than Caboki, my first brand. Nanogen is a little pricy. But it seems to match my hair better than other fibers I’ve tried (Dr. Jones, and a cheap knock off brand) and looks better.The only thing I’d like to see improved: the bottle size. It’s a little small in diameter. A larger bottle is easier for me to hold and apply.

The color looks artificial

I have used Caboki, Xfusion, Toppik,, you name it and this is by far my favorite. Easily disguisable, no one can notice except if you are REALLY up close and even then it is hard to tell – no complaints. 5 stars!

Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil. An imperfection…..an a quick fix….because it’s all about perception…..and these fibres attach to hair pretty well, and stay there until you shower them out. I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

Love this product way more than Toppik. Using Toppik I experienced an itchy scalp that literally drove me almost to insanity. Later on I learned that this product contains wool. I just pour this into my Toppik container and the sprayer works the same as it did with the Toppik. Would recommend going one shade lighter than your color and using the sprayer. I also use a mask since those fibers end up everywhere and I don’t want to inhale them. Just get use to the fact that you will have little fibers all over your counter and plan on cleaning the bathroom a little more often. Will be purchasing again.

I am a man in his early twenties, and have noticed thinning hair since I turned 18. I later found out this is because I have Hypothyroid.Anyways, I heard about concealers 6 months, used toppik at first. Toppik is really good, but where nanogen stand outs (of course higher price) is that it makes your hair softer, and does not have that saw dust feel to it.The fibers do not come out with water, or gel, however if you get your scalp wet (extermly like in shower, not rain drizzle) you will see that fibers settle down, and if you do not have enough fuzz, then it will show.Ofcourse, it gets on your finger and nails if you run your hand thru it, so beware if anyone not knowing about it touches your hair, they might figure it out.I have been using it for 6 months, and my roomates have still to find out about it, so I guess you get the idea.

My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!

This works well for my female alopecia. It hides my scalp and makes me feel better about myself.Try NOT to breath in the particles, i am sure that is not good for your sinuses and lungs.

Well unfortunately for me, at 37 years old I’ve been losing hair on my crown visibly for about 5 years now. I use Rogaine foam and take saw palmetto to try and combat the ever advancing ravages of time and DHT on my hair follicles, but my top is still thin. After hearing Dr. Sam Lam mention it in one of his talks posted on YouTube (check out his YouTube blog vids, they are great!), I decided to look into Nanogen. From their website it’s obviously a British company, which is fine. They helped us in WWII, so what the hell. Anywhoo, great product. You sprinkle the keratin fibers out of what looks like a pepper shaker, blend it into your thinning locks with your fingertips, and it’s like all of a sudden your thinning areas are thick again. I sprinkle on Nanogen after foaming up with Rogaine and letting it dry. The drier your hair is, the better the fibers bind to your existing hair. Then I put on some d:fi styling creme and I’m good to go. I think I’ll be using this product for a long time, or as long as enough hair on my head holds out so it looks passable. By then I’m hoping science can inject stem cells into George Costanza’s scalp and regrow hair without needing plugs. There ya go.

I guess it’s okay if you’re trying to over small areas. It have a dull affect.

I havent tried any other of the products like this so I cant compare. As far as this one, I really love it and use it every day. I have dark brown hair so I am not sure what the product would be like for someone with lighter hair but for darker it works great.I use the pointy end of my comb to make parts in my hair from front to back. Sprinkle on the fibers all along the part and if you have a part where it clumped or have just one dark spot on your scalp you can just use your fingers to lightly tap the fibers along your part. I spray the part with a regular pump hair spray and let it dry for a second. Then I make another part next to that and repeat it over the top of my scalp. I usually turn my head over and fluff my hair a bit as to not have a definite part. If I see places where it is bare I just repeat it. If I know I am going out that evening I may put a bit more on and sometimes I am lazy and just put it on my part that is showing. When I do the entire top of my scalp it really looks fuller.I have ordered twice now and I received the product both times the next day. Fastest shipping ever.My only complaint is that I do use it every day and for the price it is a bit much. I may try another brand to compare but right now I really love this stuff. Def recommend.

I have tried many similar products but Nanogen really works.

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.
alex –
It’s ok but not like that ok. The fiber is a little bit thick. When I use hair spray it’s clog and dry and fell down from my head.
Adriana –
You have to apply more than what it’s necessary leaving thick layers of fibers in your scalp

I ordered black but when I put it on my head it was actually grey and ashy looking. It stated that it was Asian black and I am Asian and it did not match at all
JulieAnn JulieAnn –
I am so pleased I ordered this, it does exactly what it says, I use with the spray to make sure it stays in place.
Michael L –
Comparing this to Toppik, I like this much better. Toppik seems to have a greenish tint and is almost jet black color which doesn’t match my natural black hair color. People say Nanogen black color looks gray but I haven’t noticed that when applied to my hair. Nanogen goes on and stays on my hair better than Toppik and looks more natural looking. Use a pump hair spray medium to strong hold to keep fibers in hair. The only negative it’s kinda pricey.

Works very well. Only issue I have is that the dark brown is a grayish tone not a true brown, but it still does the job

Have to have this on hand now, always. Easy to use. Quick and sure coverage. Lasts long. Color (dark brown) is great. 71 year old lady with confidence that Nanogen coverage works. Really appreciate this product.

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!

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

I’ve tried several brands of concealer and this one works the best for me. The fibers go on easily and stay put. The color works well with my dark blonde hair and does not irritate my scalp. I only wish that it had the little applicator bulb that Toppik makes and I’d be in hair loss heaven. Definitely worth the money.

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.

Works great. I would tap some of the fibers in the lid, use a make up brush to gather fibers from the lid and I would apply to the area where needed with the brush. Hopes this idea will help others.

I bought this for my 70 year old mother who is losing a bit of hair but mostly just on the top. She’s self conscious about it, so her stylist recommended this product. He told her it was just like pepper but with static cling, so it sticks to your hair. Well he was right!! She loves it and is amazed how well it covers the area she was concerned about on top. Great product!!!!
Amber –
wow! I am so amazed by this product. I have been using a spray and if i touch where i had sprayed it comes off on my hand, this produce doesn’t. i have a slight thinning of the hair right on top and this totally covers it and i am able to rub it in with my hands and nothing gets on my hands, wont be my last order of this product

I now just shake some coverage over the exposed scalp that mimics a natural look…..and I am good to go.

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 helps me feel a little less baldy. it’s a slight enough difference that i notice and feel better about. i’ve lost crown hair due to physical illness and this does help out. a lot cheaper than some alternatives!

I got so stoked when i read the reviews online that i bought it immediately after that. I thought i found the gold but not. It doesnt work as effectively as the reviews say it does.
Amber –
wow! I am so amazed by this product. I have been using a spray and if i touch where i had sprayed it comes off on my hand, this produce doesn’t. i have a slight thinning of the hair right on top and this totally covers it and i am able to rub it in with my hands and nothing gets on my hands, wont be my last order of this product

I bought this for my 70 year old mother who is losing a bit of hair but mostly just on the top. She’s self conscious about it, so her stylist recommended this product. He told her it was just like pepper but with static cling, so it sticks to your hair. Well he was right!! She loves it and is amazed how well it covers the area she was concerned about on top. Great product!!!!

It does it’s job at covering the bald spots naturally, but it has a peculiar odor.

This product is comparable to or better than Caboki, my first brand. Nanogen is a little pricy. But it seems to match my hair better than other fibers I’ve tried (Dr. Jones, and a cheap knock off brand) and looks better.The only thing I’d like to see improved: the bottle size. It’s a little small in diameter. A larger bottle is easier for me to hold and apply.

Well……….5 years ago I paid the big bucks for a hair transplant on my receding hairline…..and viola…….it’s back. Thanks for not very much of a “guarantee” Bosley. So…like any relatively vain individual….I was looking for a way to cover what was gradually missing in the way of a distinctive hairline. It’s amazing what a little bit of loss in a hairline can do to you in a photo….frozen in time….and placed on Facebook.Ugh! So…..browsing the internet for a solution….I came across the Nanogen Nanofibres. I was of course skeptic about shaking something over my head like a salt shaker that would actually stay in place….but had nothing to lose based on the cost. I ordered a bottle…gave it a shot…and hey….it works!! Yes…it’s temporary with an every day application….but it’s no different than covering a zit with Clearasil.

Very pleased with this product. Takes way less time than the powder I had been using which requires a wet applicator and thus wets the hair. Nanofibres go on dry hair. Just tap a little on. Some powder does fall on my forehead if I am putting this on the front hairline but it easily wipes away with a dry tissue. It doesn’t mix in with my make-up. Makes my hair look so much thicker. I have used it without hairspray (to set it) and all was fine but I didn’t perspire heavily so the staying power was not tested. Love this and thanks to the other reviewers for their helpful info.

I’ve been using concealer products for around 10 years now, I always have used Toppik in the past and have recently been looking for alternatives. I heard good things about Nanogen so I decided to give it a try. I ordered black (as my hair is black) but it seems more of a dark brown, significantly lighter than my hair. Also, when I would lay down then sit up again, there would be a big dark brown pile of fibers where I just laid. When I apply I always make sure to shake out any excess, so I’m not sure why there was so much transfer. I marked this as an ‘it’s OK’ because it is just that, OK. I do prefer Toppik and Hairmax over Nanogen. I am a woman with shoulder length hair.

Far finer than similar products, good amount of static cling (what separates the brand name stuff from he generic). The fine nature of Nanogen is what makes is higher quality, less noticeable that your wearing it, but once your hair is thin enough, most of it will miss your hair entirely and just cover your scalp with fine black dust.
KLD –
If you know anyone with thinning hair or a bald spot, this product is amazing. It really builds confidence in men/women that have thinning issues. We have shared it with a lot of our guy friends and they love it too! I love hearing these guys talk about how amazed they are and how much better it makes them feel about their appearance.

Never used a product like this. Wanted to use for thinning hair. The dark brown has a blue tint to it compared to my real dark brown hair.

I would recommend this to anyone who has thinning hair. My hair has been thinning for the last 2 years due to lupus and the medications I’m on to treat it. Especially being female, I have been very self-conscious about my loss of hair, scalp showing, etc. This product has helped that tremendously. It is easy to use, just sprinkle on the areas that you want to cover. It looks very natural. No one has been able to tell that I have anything on my hair. I do not go out without this on because of how much scalp shows now due to the hair loss. I would not recommend the spray that they advertise with it because it has a pretty funky smell to it. I just set it with hair spray. Try it, you’ll be very surprised how well it actually works.
Bpink40 –
I have used this product for years and have tried a few other products that claimed to be as good. Nanogen is by far the best keratin fibers available.
MollyW –
This product has changed to way I feel about my appearance, and is a regular staple part of my beauty routine! My only complaint is that I wish I had found it sooner and saved myself much self conciousness and depression about my hair thinning. It is undetectable and doesn’t use fillers (cotton, wool,etc) like so many others do. Highly recomend this! The spray is also a good product to use, it really does keep it in place longer.

Well I bought a bottle of this stuff about a month ago. I had heard of Topik and hair cubed but wasn’t sure what to expect. Since Nano was cheaper and had good reviews saying it was as good as the other products, I had to try it out. I was very happy with the product!! I have been thinning and have a small bald spot in the back/top part of my head. This product made it all go away. It makes me look 5 years younger and the best part is how it stays put. I was worried of moister because I work out and on a hot day I tend to Perspire, I didn’t want to be somewhere with black stuff leaking from my head. But I was VERY surprised at how it holds up to water, even in the Gym with a full sweat going, it stays put. I was also worried about how REAL it was going to look, even in full sun, No one could tell I had any product on!! it blends so well. Only problem is, in the front of the hairline- got to be careful on blending it in little by little or I can tell it doesn’t look right. But with practice I got it down now. SORRY cant compare this product since it has been the only one I have tried, but Definitely happy with the results. I also used COUVRE and it works well with this product I use COUVRE to cover the scalp and Nanogen to give my hair Body. I could use just the Nanogen with the same result but it seems like I have to use a bunch of it, so the COUVRE is a good Combo. Oh and yes it you scratch your head the Nanogen gets under your nails, not a big deal but if you remember not to scratch its probably better than looking like you have dirty nails.

Comparing this to Toppik, I like this much better. Toppik seems to have a greenish tint and is almost jet black color which doesn’t match my natural black hair color. People say Nanogen black color looks gray but I haven’t noticed that when applied to my hair. Nanogen goes on and stays on my hair better than Toppik and looks more natural looking. Use a pump hair spray medium to strong hold to keep fibers in hair. The only negative it’s kinda pricey.

I have tried many similar products but Nanogen really works.

I love it but I’d sure like to know why the price has jumped up $10 on Amazon for just this color.

I really liked toppik, but this product is just better. The fibers don’t get on everything when I’m applying it. I also need less product than I did with toppik. This works amazing and it’s a total life saver.

Let’s face it, no one wants to need this. It would be nice to have a full head of hair. I cringe every time my new, very tall boyfriend kisses the top of my head. I live in anticipation of rain and try to never get caught without umbrella or hat, and don’t even get me started on swimming…With that said, this is working well. I have caboki, which works fine, too. But I think nanogen has a slight edge for me. It sits more on the hair than the scalp, which looks less powdery and more natural on me. The color is a good match. I hate hairspray, so I have used both nanogen and caboki without spray. Some of it comes off on the inside of my sunhat or bike helmet and I sometimes reapply during the day. I usually clean little particles off my forehead when I get to work. They are not super visible, but something is always there. This seems to not transfer too much to bedsheets, and is pretty easy to wash the sink down after using. But it’s lot of work that I did not have to do before hair loss. I am working on being more accepting of my body.Update: The color match did not look quite right in broad daylight – caboki was a dark chocolate brown (a better match for me), and this looks more blackish. I also found some transfer on the pillowcases. But the way it sits on the hair and the way it fades in a natural, not splotchy way are both good.

My hair had been thinning and I needed something to fill in the thin spots. I had no real hope that this would work but, having read the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t use it very long as my thinning worsened but while I used it I really, really liked it. It covered the thin areas very well, looked quite natural (as far as I could tell), the color blended very nicely, and it didn’t rub or fall off. I plan to try this on my sparse brows next; I think it is the same type of product I have seen described as a “brow filler” and costing so much more. This product was a blessing to me. Thanks!
