Jet Black Works for Me

I recently had a hair transplant. As it grew in, it was like having my old looks back. I needed to boost the growth process so I used some supplements. For the finishing touch, I used Jerome Russell Jet Black Hair Coloring spray. It has such a natural look, that it amazes people who know me. It is easy to apply now, but when first using this product, watch for over spray. It wears excellently, and I am quite satisfied with this product. I am planning a second transplant, and it should fill in the rest of my hair line. My thanks to Jerome Russell.
It works perfectly

I had a gastric bypass a few years ago and before that I had valve surgery on my heart. I tell you this because I not only had hair loss after the heart thing but after the bypass it got worse. I tried a few other products with not such great results. For my kind of hair loss (thinning on the right side and around the part and bang area) Jerome Russell's Hair Color Thickener for Thinning Hair is definately the most effective. It does take practice and it took me a while to really perfect my technique but the results are really fantastic. After washing and blow drying my hair I carefully spray on the Jerome Russell's Hair Color Thickener for Thinning Hair where needed, let it dry and then spray with hair spray. After that all dried it is stiff so you have to carefully brush the hair without scraping your scalp itself with the brush. I am then able to style it and have recently been using a waving iron as well. It is a long process so I usually wash my hair only twice a week but it really looks the way I want.It's a lot better than running around bald and wincing when people would look at my hair. I hope this helps someone who has known this kind of heartbreak themselves. C. G.
This stuff ROCKS!

I lost a lot of hair after weight loss surgery and I need this to keep me from looking bald now that I am skinny...I was using DERMATCH and that stuff was a mess, it wasn't good coverage and then I found this spray, takes 5 seconds to apply and stays until I wash it out. the only drawback is the price and the fact that my bathroom is covered in jet black dust constantly.
This stuff's great!

My hair started falling out after the birth of my first child (which is considered normal) Normal or not I was devisatated and needed something in between to hide the bald spots. This stuff works great and I have two huge bald spots on both temples. I hope my hair grows back soon, but until then, I will keep using this product!
This thickener is a great product

I bought this product to cover gray part-line roots between coloring (use medium brown color) and to thicken thinning area above forehead. It works very well and lasts like crazy. Did not come out until I washed it out. Spray on sparingly and work around with tissue works best. Can also use what comes off on the tissue to cover places you don't want to spray such as temple. I really like this product, but again, please understand I am not covering a bald spot - just thickening and covering my gray. Hope it works for you!
Not worth it!!

This product comes off easily. If you touch your head, just to wipe a bit of sweat, this would be dripping. Worst part is, that it comes off on your hands without any contact to water or shampoo, and is very messy. Before I forget, the spray smells atrocious, it has this nasty and foul smell. My advice stay away from this and if you need a decent product, try TOP COVERAGE, a much better option.
Not worth one dollar

This product used to be great but now it has very little hair filler - it is almost 100 per cent thin liquid color that will flatten your hair and run down your forehead. I called their offices three times and I was total ignored all three times. Don't waste your money on this product. Cheap spray on hair color during Halloween works the same.
Still using and have a recruit, too!

Started using this in 06. Still use this product over any of the others I have tried on this site. I would give it a 4 and a half, nothing is more perfect than hair..!It does have some over-spray so if it bothers you, put something down to catch the over-spray, newspaper works. Wash your face AFTER you put this on and don't wear light clothes spraying it on! I shower, blow dry, spray on by parting my thining areas and then wash my face. Doesn't take that much time to do and the results are great if you have your routine down pretty well. My mother is now using it, too. Even if my hair hasn't grown back yet, I'll keep using this product and am helping my mom fulproof her hair-do. She's 76! She is doing really well with it so far and loves not seeing her pink scalp! go mom!
Used to be a great product

This used to be a great product, but they move manufacturing from the US to China (around 2007)and now the product doesn't work as advertised. The pigments are different and don't cover well. The colors are not the same as the old product. The can has too much propellant and flattens your hair. The new scent is NOT appealing, strong and causes people to look to see where the strong odor is coming from. When you have thinning hair, the last thing you want is people looking at your head to see where a smell is coming from. I wish Jerome Russell would fix the product so it works like it used to (even if it cost a little more).
Excellent Product

I am a long time Organin user, and was looking to find something else to use on my ever increasing bald spot. The Organin works wonders, but I am going through it a bit faster than I'd like. This product is the worst hair concealer I've ever used - no contest. It's like generic spray paint. No matter how much I used, I could not get any coverage. Was a very poor match for my dark brown hair too. If you buy this product, it's your problem - you've been warned!
fine product; change the can

Considering that thinning hair is probably a topic most people want to be somewhat secretive about, I strongly suggest that Folica make the can more discreet and stylish looking. As it is, the can screams: "I use hair in a can!" I'm sure Folica can come up with something more elegant.
Works great for compulsive hair-pullers

I am a female with shoulder-length hair. I have been pulling out my hair for decades and have several large bald spots. The hair I still have is medium brown and wavy, so by coloring in the bald spots I am able to completely hide them. This is how I do it: First I wash and dry my hair. Then I fold a tissue (NOT toilet paper -- it breaks down too fast when wet) and I spray the "scalp paint" on the tissue. I then wipe it on the bald spot on my scalp. It works best if the scalp is fairly dry. If you really "style" your hair, style it first and then color in your bald spots. I don't spray the stuff right on my scalp or it goes on too thick and wet. I don't swim much, but it seems to hold up and not run when I do. I find that a little comes off on my pillowcase, but it's not bad. If I were a guest in someone's house, I would put a t-shirt or something else over their pillows at night, just in case. This product makes my life a lot easier. I hope you have luck, too!

I got the "blonde/brown" and it is horrible. It is white and seems to have almost no color whatsoever. Even worse than thinning hair. I would give zero stars if possible.
Good product - Could be better

This is a great product that blends in good with your natural hair. It does not leave a shiny spray paint look. The only drawback is that it can come off when it comes in contact with clothing or skin. It can also be a bit messy if you don't know how to apply it correctly. I would strongly recommend it over Top Coverage.
Excellent

I've used this product for more than 10 years. It is excellent; don't know what I would do without it. My bald spot is totally hidden, and the product blends well with my hair to given a fully look.
Get a darker shade!

I have always used ProThik and decided to try this brand. When I got it, the can was a third the size of a ProThik can. Second, I have dirty blonde hair, so I ordered the blonde/brown shade. WRONG!!!! I sprayed it on my head and it looked white. Luckily I still had some ProThik left to darken the spot. I always use light brown in ProThik, so I guess I needed to order medium brown, or maybe even dark brown. I don't know. These ads need to show what each color will actually look like. The product may look good and work, but if you have dirty blonde hair like me, DON'T order blonde/brown.

I like the product because (obviously) it hides my balding areas. The thing that I do NOT like is..... I have black "residue" all over my bathroom....it's on my blinds, on my shower walls, etc. and it just takes extra cleaning. Also, there is black residue on my pillow case each morning. AND, if you don't put hairspray over the color spray, it will smear all over your forehead.
Product is not what is advertised

I received my order of Folica and I am very disapointed. It smears on my fingers if I just touch my scalp or hair, it comes off on my pillow and is not even close to my hair color. This is the 4th brand of colored hairspray I have tried and this is the worst.

Due to medication, I have experienced some hair loss in front. Not good for a woman to have bald spots. But I tried this Jerome product months ago, and have just reordered. This is amazing stuff! It doesn't just color the scalp like the color sprays do, it looks like it adds hair. I use the medium brown and it blends it perfectly. I can't tell you how good it is to have a product that works so well...it has made me lose my self-conscienceness. Plus the shipping was immediate. I plan to stay with this company for as long as they sell hair thickener. My thanks to them.
