FAQs
Hair fibers are tiny keratin particles that use static electricity to bond with your existing hair strands. When applied to thinning areas, they instantly create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair by attaching to each individual strand and making it look denser. Made from the same natural protein found in human hair, these fibers blend seamlessly for a natural-looking result.
Hair fibers work through electrostatic attraction. The fibers carry a positive charge while your natural hair has a negative charge, causing them to magnetically cling together like tiny magnets. This binding process thickens each strand of hair, reducing the contrast between your scalp and hair for instant volume and coverage.
Hair fibers stay in your hair until you wash them out with shampoo. With proper application and a holding spray, they can last 8-12 hours or even multiple days between washes. Most users report their fibers staying in place through daily activities, overnight, and even between hair-washing days, typically for 1-2 days or more, depending on your washing routine.
Quality hair fibers are water-resistant, meaning they can withstand light rain, humidity, and sweat. However, they're not completely waterproof and will wash out with shampoo or heavy water exposure, like swimming or intense rainfall. For maximum water resistance, use a fiber hold spray after application to strengthen the bond.
No, hair fibers do not cause hair loss. Multiple medical experts and clinical studies confirm that keratin-based hair fibers are purely cosmetic and do not affect your hair follicles, block pores, or interfere with natural hair growth. They sit on top of your existing hair and wash out completely with regular shampooing.
Yes, hair fibers are safe for daily use. They're made from natural keratin, the same protein as your hair, making them non-toxic and hypoallergenic. Just ensure you wash them out regularly (typically at night before bed) to maintain good scalp hygiene and prevent product buildup.
Hair fibers work best when you have at least some existing hair for them to cling to. They're highly effective for thinning areas, receding hairlines, and sparse spots, but they cannot completely cover bald patches with no hair. Even fine vellus hair (baby-fine hair) provides enough for the fibers to attach to.
When applied correctly with the right color match, hair fibers are virtually undetectable. They blend seamlessly with your natural hair and look completely natural—even in bright lighting, on camera, or under close inspection. The key is choosing the correct shade and not over-applying.
It's best to style your hair first, then apply the fibers. Once applied, avoid brushing or combing through your hair as this will dislodge the fibers. You can gently pat or lightly finger-style your hair after application, but heavy manipulation should be avoided.
High-quality hair fibers are designed to be sweat-resistant and will stay in place during workouts and physical activity, especially when secured with a fiber hold spray. Many users report successfully wearing them to the gym without any issues.
Hair fibers are a temporary, non-invasive cosmetic solution that provides instant coverage and washes out. Hair transplants are permanent surgical procedures that actually restore growing hair follicles. Many people use hair fibers while waiting for transplant results or as an alternative to surgery. Some even use both, fibers for extra density in areas where transplanted hair may be thinner.
Yes, but wait at least 4-6 weeks after your transplant surgery to allow the grafts to heal and settle. Once healed, hair fibers are an excellent way to add density while waiting for your transplanted hair to grow in (which can take 3-12 months). Always consult with your transplant surgeon before using any products post-procedure.
No, hair fibers are a cosmetic product and do not stimulate hair growth or prevent hair loss. They only provide the appearance of thicker hair. For actual hair regrowth, you'll need treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, PRP therapy, or other medical interventions. However, fibers can be used alongside these treatments.
Choose a fiber colour that closely matches your natural hair colour. If you're between shades, you can mix two colours together for a perfect match. For the most natural look, the colour should blend seamlessly with your existing hair, not your scalp color.
No, hair fibers must be applied to completely dry hair for proper adhesion. The static bond that makes fibers cling to your hair doesn't work on wet or damp hair, and the fibers may clump together. Always apply after your hair is fully dried and styled.
Yes, most quality hair fibers are hypoallergenic and made from natural keratin without harsh chemicals. However, if you have very sensitive skin or scalp conditions, it's wise to do a patch test first. Avoid using them on broken skin or active scalp irritation.
Hair fibers are one of the most affordable hair loss solutions. A bottle typically costs £20-40 and lasts 1-3 months, depending on usage, versus hair transplants that can cost £2,000-15,000+ or wigs that cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. The long-term cost is minimal compared to surgical or permanent options.
Apply any styling products (gel, mousse, etc.) first, let them dry completely, then apply hair fibers. Wet or tacky products can cause fibers to clump. For best results, use a fiber-specific holding spray after applying the fibers to lock them in place.
Absolutely! Hair fibers work equally well for men and women. They're excellent for covering thinning areas, widening parts, postpartum hair loss, or adding volume to fine hair. The application process is the same regardless of gender.
While you can sleep with hair fibers in your hair, it's generally recommended to wash them out before bed for optimal scalp hygiene. However, many users do sleep with them successfully and report minimal transfer to pillowcases, especially when using a holding spray.
Yes, quality hair fibers are designed to resist humidity. While extreme humidity may affect their staying power slightly, using a fiber hold spray will ensure they remain in place even in hot, humid conditions.

- Start with clean, completely dry, styled hair.
- Shake or spray fibers over thinning areas, holding the applicator 3-6 inches from your scalp
- Gently pat down with your fingertips to help fibers settle
- Apply holding spray if desired for extra staying power
- Avoid touching or brushing your hair after application
No, quality varies significantly. Look for fibers made from natural keratin rather than synthetic materials, offering a good color range, fine particle size for natural blending, and positive customer reviews. Higher-quality fibers tend to look more natural and stay in place better.
