It does cover thinning areas, as long as you match up the color correctly. Did not notice any thickening, but did the trick for cover-up.

I'm a mid 20's female with some crown thinning and occasionally use Nanogen fibers to cover my scalp/make my hair appear fuller. I decided to switch to proTHIK because of some of the reviews I read and thought it might be easier to apply.
It was not. It sprays full force on one area even when I held it further away and it was obviously visible and unnatural looking on my scalp. Personally, I find Nanogen to be a lot more natural looking and am sticking to that from now on.

It took some experimenting to make this look like my hair was thicker and it worked! My hair was very thin in the front so I am very pleased with the results I get.
Cheap, easy, and effective

If you have any hair at all, this is a pretty good camouflage. Can make the hair you have about 5 times thicker looking if used correctly. Not great in direct sunlight, or if you have completely bald areas. Stays on your head really well, but comes off on hats & pillow cases. Messes up your bathroom a bit, but worth it. If you don't have some hair in front, proTHIK is not an option. Final verdict, great, but it can't replace real hair. At the price it's well worth a try. But don't throw your hats away.
This is my 2nd review on ProThik

My last review was from a little over 2 years ago, and I'm still using ProThik, and I'm still very happy with it. I've been using it so long that I now know not to scratch my head where I have it applied. I'm a pro at applying it so I don't get a messy bathroom or clothes. I have had problems w/clogged sprayers, but usually running the top under hot water cleans it out so that it works well again. The spray is a little dull in color, but I'm going to be trying a "shining" spray to fix that.
I truly feel that this product is a lifesaver, and I will continue to use it as the positives by far outweigh the negatives. It's a total bummer having thinning hair, but at least no one else has to know that I do!

I am a faithful Folica customer and will continue to be but I feel compelled to note that this stuff, proTHIK Hair Volumizer is absolutely horrible!
It indefinately stains everything it comes in contact with from your scalp, fingers, brushes/combs, clothes and pillow cases and such.

Like everyone else said, works well for early stage hair loss. You have to be careful with the nozzles, I ordered 4 and two broke. The remover works well. I have not used any products besides prothik but I am going to switch to something else after what I have now is used up because I feel like every time I apply it I get dumber. Has anyone else experienced a sensation of heat or pressure after applying prothik?
Not that good

The bottle's spray top came off at first use. It clogs alot!! The fumes are not bearable. On the other hand, it does fill in the empty spots, but after a few hours, even with hair spray, it starts to come off, and looks obvious!
Amazing Product

i have used this several times and always been happy, but this purchase lacks quality, the spray keeps getting clogged and the colors are not coming out right, seems like there is not pigment in the spray
Great when used in moderation.

This product is great if you use it in moderation. I suggest spraying lightly one or two times and then following up with a good hairspray or citrishine. Definitely go one with a slightly darker color for good effect. If you're darker blonde go with medium brown. You'll use less and get a better effect. It does not run in rain or when you sweat during exercise. Great product!
Good for women with mildly thining hair

If you have serious hairloss, don't bother, this stuff (like all spray-on thickeners) is too messy and looks fake on big bald patches. Wear a wig instead, if that's the case.
But if what you have is some thinning at the top, you know, enough so the light reflects off your scalp in an unflattering way, then this stuff ROCKS. I lift the hair and use just a small spritz and presto, my hair looks thick and full again and I can go off to meet that big client without worries.
Some practice is in order - try it on a weekend when you can wash your hair if you use too much at first. Also, don't scratch your head, you'll get the fibers under your fingernails.
I use ProTHIK the same way I use other things like makeup, a good pushup bra, and tummy control pantyhose - not to disguise huge problems, but to enhance what I have.
As always, your mileage may vary :)

After reading numerous other reviews and tips thought I'd share my thoughts. First this product is great, but it is only as good as what you are willing to make it. Yep it's messy too. For me I have found that slightly moist is the best way to apply, so I towel my hair thoroughly then apply 2-3 light applications. I also jump into the shower stall to apply which contains the overspray and then merely spot in front of the mirror. With your hair slightly moist it is far more easy to comb and the spray covers better. Once styled then finish off with the blow dryer and use a high quality hair spray. I also use a trash towel to cover the areas I don't want overspray which only allows the Prothik to the areas that I want. Extra time to perform ALL this extra work....a couple of minutes, but worth every second.

Very good coverage. Stays put when wet. Must ensure proper scrupping of scalp to remove product completely. I wish it was less sticky feeling.

Don't stress any longer! This product is the best thing for thinning hair. You can't notice it at all. I will never feel a lack of confidence again...

I would rate this product higher if the mist doesn't
cause my whole room covered with the colored particles.
Recently (about a year), one problem started happening that if I pushed the button lightly, the color on my hair turned "silver" so I had to spray twice to cover that up.
Otherwise, this product served the purpose.
great product

Wish I had found this product years ago. I have very fine hair and it helps add thickness and hides those spots that used to drive me crazy.

I have a ton of hair but one day a big patch fell out....and this stuff makes it not even noticable when it's growing back. If you have any hair at all it fills it in and makes it look thicker....LIFESAVER!! You spray it on in 1 second!!
