The product rocks

I am in the military and constant wearing of a helmet causes my hair to be embarrassingly thin on the top. This is horrible as a female. I ordered this product and it came in yesterday. I am amazed at how well it works. I will definitely order more as I only ordered a small one until I could try it out. If you follow the directions, it works wonderfully. I seriously have more confidence than I did before I had this product.
JUNK

I was swayed by the $9.99 price too, what a WASTE of money! The color I ordered was dark brown. The color that it appears is a bluish/grey color...completely un-natural! It is too think for the Toppik spray applicator, so you need to sprinkle it on, but it does not go on evenly. The color and application was so bad that I had to wash it out of my hair. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this junk! Buy the real stuff (Toppik), it's worth it!
Toppik Vs NexGen

I keep looking at your site to see if you carry Toppik again - a much much better product than Nexgen... I tried it and there is no comparison. Bring Toppik back!
Not as good as Toppik

Toppik does a much better job of staying in place. I don't recommend this product.
Terrible product!

As a long-time Toppik user, I was dismayed to find out that Folica no longer carries the brand. I too was swayed by the $9.99 special on Nexgen and bought a few bottles. Big mistake.
The big issue I have is with the monumental mess this stuff makes. No matter how careful I am, the fibers (which are much larger than Toppik fibers) end up all over my face, clothes and bathroom. I end up rubbing most of my makeup off trying to remove this stuff from my forehead, nose, cheeks.... It is such a huge pain.
Oh, and this stuff does will not stay on your hair very well. One nod of your head and you will see a cloud of fibers floating down in front of you.
Don't waste your money.
Best on the market!

I don't understand the poor reviews. I tried Toppik several times but the color match was awful and the fibers didn't hold well. I have dark blonde hair and Nexgen's blonde color works great! The fibers hold onto your hair and don't end up on your scalp.
I hope they never change this product!

I don't know what all the negative comments are about. this product goes on very naturally, stays in place nicely and the colors are true... I switch it out with Mega Thick and like them both very much. I think for 'light' fibers this is much better than Toppik or Organin.
Just a mess!

I, too, ordered this during the one day $9.99 sale and am VERY disappointed in it. I had been using Toppik for many years and was dismayed to see that Folica is no longer carrying it.
I have dark brown hair and I found the Nexgen color match fine. But this stuff does not stay on my hair! No matter how careful I am, the fibers end up all over my face and all over my bathroom. I have tried to "seal" this stuff in by using industrial-stregnth hairspray but it still makes a major mess.
I will not repurchase, ever.

I've tried toppik, organin and mega thick... this is the best of the 'light' products like toppik and organin... just a little bit fills and builds and the color is better than toppik. I still like to use the mega thick, but this seems to be more natural. It does leave a dusty layer on the floor and sink, but that's easy to wipe up with a paper towel.
Just a really bad product

I purchased this product after I ran out of toppik. Based on early excellent reviews I was really impressed so I bought it... but when I actually went to use it I noticed that the dust like flakes wouldn't stick to my scalp - and I used the toppik hairspray I had. In disgust I threw the $9.99 promo bottle right into the trash. Don't waste your money on this product even at $9.99 its a waste of money. Go ahead and spend the extra bucks and buy toppik. Again, unless you want to throw your money away dont buy this product and of course I do not recomend it.
Better Than Toppik

First of all, Toppik is VERY MESSY and this product isnt.
It gets all over the bathroom sink, floor etc. Be prepared to clean the bathroom a lot. Thankfully I didnt have this problem with Nexgen.
NexGen matched my hair color just fine and I have dark brown hair. It takes less time and product to cover up the area needed unlike Toppik. Toppik has gotten a lot more expensive too. Why waste your money on that messy overpriced stuff?
What is wrong with your previous reviewers???
Give the product a chance. Your probably not doing it right. It does the job just fine.
Toppik is Far Superior

I bought this product because of the low price compared to Toppik. I've been using Toppik for years and have always been pleased with the results I get. I didn't see Toppik on this site anymore so I ordered this low priced new product not expecting it to be better than Toppik but at least close. I was so disappointed it was terrible. Nothing like Toppik....no raves from me on this one. I couldn't give it a full poor rating because of the price and I should have known better... you get what you pay for. Shame on me for not checking other sites that sell Toppik.
Awful

I also caved in and purchased this when there was a sale. What a bad decision. This stuff is awful. I have used Topppik and Organin, and those work fine. This stuff is not nearly as nice. I didn't have that much of a problem with color match. Instead, my issue is that it is too powdery/grainy and not like tiny fibers. It doesn't cling to the hair roots. I feel like I am pouring dust on my head, and it gets everywhere. I have not had this problem with other hair fiber products. Waste of money, I am switching back.
it's no toppik

Nexgen Hair Building Fibers inferior to Toppik

I found that it took more Nexgen to cover the thin spots than Toppik and it didn't last as long.
Other, MUCH better choices...

Bought this product because of a One day $9.99 special on Folica. Was a series waste of money. Not worth the $10. I've tried to use this on multiple occasions now, and will throw the remaining product away. I have dark brown hair, and found this to not be a good match at all. It is very dull and flat looking; it's very obvious that I have a concealer in my hair. The fibers do look like small pieces of hair (like Organin), which is good. But the poor dark brown match is too much of a problem for me. As far as I am concerned, Organin and even Toppik blow this stuff away. If you have used Toppik or Organin in dark brown, and they match well for you - stay away from this product!!!
Not a good color match for me

I am a femail suffering from hair loss due to chemo treatments. Any woman experiencing this knows how traumatizing this can be. When I found that Nexgen costs less than Toppek, I was so excited. (Toppek worked wonderfully, but I am trying to save money).With Nexgen the color just did not match my hair or blend well with my own color (medium brown). I'm not sure I can blame the product 100%. For me Nexgen just isn't as good as Toppek. Would I recommend it? Depends on how well you want to conceal your thining spots...it's OK - but of the two I would definitely recommend the Toppek.
Do not buy this product

I tried Nexgen because Toppik is out of stock. Not as good as Toppik -- too dark but is good for supplementing Toppik on lower layers of hair I will use Nexgen as a "base" and apply Toppik above it. I found it does not hold onto my hair as well as Toppik does and also noticed more floating it's way into the sink when applying. I will wait for Toppik to come back into stock and reorder and stock up in case it goes out of stock again.

Fibers fly away and drift onto your face and clothes even if you apply lots of hair spray. Not as good as toppik -- too dark but good for supplementing toppik on lower layers of hair.
