The Short Answer: The key to covering a widening part is to target the hair roots, not the skin. Hold the Toppik bottle 2-3 inches above the part line and gently tap the sides (do not shake vigorously). The goal is to "blur" the sharp white line of the scalp. After tapping, use your fingers to pat the fibers down into the hair. This disperses them naturally and prevents the "painted on" look.
Why Part Lines Widen
In female pattern thinning (Ludwig Scale), the hairline remains intact while the center part thins out, often resembling a Christmas tree shape.
- Mistake: Filling the part line completely so no scalp shows (looks unnatural).
- Goal: Reducing the contrast between dark hair and white scalp so the part looks tight and narrow.
Precision Tool: For the most natural part line, we recommend screwing the Spray Applicator onto your Toppik bottle. It allows you to shoot a fine mist of fibers exactly where you need it, rather than dumping powder over your whole head.
Common Female Thinning Questions
Will it clog my follicles?
No. Toppik fibers are too large to enter the follicle. They sit on the surface of the scalp and hair shaft. As long as you wash your hair regularly, they will not inhibit growth.
Can I change my part line?
Yes. Often, changing your part to the side can instantly hide the thin spot. Apply fibers to the new part line to reinforce the density.
