ECLIPSE Hair Fibers, Auburn, Conceals Visible Hair Loss, 15g

OK, I'll be perfectly honest here and tell you that a couple of years ago I went through a stressful enough period that much of my hair seemed to acquire passports and immigrate to someone else's head… for real. Given that I have thin, fine hair and not a lot of it, it created some serious problems for me because being a woman with bald spots all over her head… is harder to deal with than I ever could have imagined. So I started doing homework. Lots of it. Research that clearly demonstrated that my problem is not unusual, not easy to manage and has no "quick fix" of any kind. But it can be managed successfully. I didn't want to go with Rogaine for women because there's just too much negative feedback on it and because once you start using the stack of chemicals it contains you can't ever go off of it again. Which led me to Surge Shampoo; a product with enough longitudinal studies to be able to verify that the inclusion of caffeine and other ingredients (pretty much all of them recognizable and natural) genuinely work on fine, thinning hair AND hair loss when applied topically. But I didn't stop there either. I strongly believe that supplements are enormously important additions for anyone who doesn't have a PERFECTLY balanced diet and honestly, I don't think there are many of those around… or at least many who will freely admit that they don't. So knowing what I do about vitamins, minerals and iron- (liquid form taken with vitamin C to make it easier for the body to absorb) I searched for something of that nature that would work on restoring and building new hair follicles to use in conjunction with the shampoo. As it turns out, there is a vitamin that contains a high enough Keratin content (among many other ingredients some of which are found primarily in the B-category) to aid not only in stimulating hair growth but also to increase both strength and thickness of finger & toenails as well. However, all of those things take time and I was still going to have enough scalp showing to make me look like a virtually hairless cat (whatever the breed that does that is). So the gal who colors my hair (counter-intuitive I know but I NEED my hair to be damaged in order to give it more fullness and body) shook enough Eclipse onto my scalp/ bald-spots to actually cover them almost completely. My stylist says that most of it's success lies in the fact that, like a good "foundation" for the face, it actually acts to eliminate the shine that made my scalp so visible. But the fibers that act to both "fill and cover" those spots are colored for a reason: to match your hair color and darken your scalp while also eliminating the "shiny" on your skin-covered skull. Those fibers attach themselves to both the "baby fuzz" hair follicles AND to the skin in between them. So although I'm now using less of it, I NEEDED that coverage enough that, at the time, I was going through almost a full container a month waiting for the vitamins and the Surge to start working their magic as well. Oh, and for what it's worth, the fibers in Eclipse will stay on your head until the next wash. Whether it's every day, every other day or once every 3-4 days. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Just ask that previously almost bald lady (that would be me folks) who is now only using it for selective "spot coverage" and whose little bottles of magic are now lasting for months PLURAL instead of just every 4 weeks or so. Honestly, if my colorist hadn't had samples to use on my head to demonstrate the advantages of this little miracle in a bottle!

I purchased this product after I had my fourth baby and began to see some very dramatic hair loss. I had areas above my temples that were thinning out so bad it looked like I had pulled chunks of hair out of my scalp. I could not wear my hair back without feeling very self-conscious so I wore my hair down most of the time. I decided to purchase this product to see how it could help with filling in those sparse areas on my scalp, and let me tell you, this product is amazing. It really does make your hair appear thicker. But a secondary and unexpected benefit I experience from this product is that it acts as a dry shampoo and also give your hair a little bit of body and reduces the appearance of oil. I wash my hair once every 2 days to increase the overall health of my hair and this is a really great thing to use in between washes. Highly recommended

Covers well, easy to apply. Just add light hairspray and you're good to go. You can't even feel a difference with it on. Don't expect big volume or miracles. This is just meant to fill in some gaps and darken the bald spots a little, helping them blend in. Less is more, don't overdo it and it will look good. Shower before going to bed to avoid any messiness of it flaking off. It's very easy to apply, similar to a salt shaker.

Product works well. Definitely helps cover up balding/thin hair. If you do it properly ppl won't notice. Usually holds up well in windy/light rain weather. Only reason this is 4 Stars I should that occasionally I'll receive a product that doesn't seem to come out of the bottle as easy or seems to need more fibers to stick right. This is rather rare tho. Warning in advance: be cautious how you apply. Shaking it onto your head can result in the fibers spreading in the room, covering stuff.

Very good stuff.,I’ve used the his for a long time, & it covers the bare areas in my hair.

Great coverage for my thinning (female) hair. In my late 40s I have developed thinning hair like my mother's, including right in front and down the part. Doesn't take much product to be effective. Unexpected bonus- also covers some of the gray roots between colors. I don't use hairspray and didn't like using the fixing spray. Interestingly, I have figured out that a travel sized bottle of regular hairspray (travel sized because it seems to allow more focused spray and less actual output) seems to do better and feel less stiff. I lift the hair section and give a light spritz on the roots. Seems pretty wind and rain proof. This product has honestly increased my self confidence.

If you want a fuller head of hair for a photo, that will work. If that’s for a social event where no one will look closely, it should work fine. If you want to use it on a date, forget it! Imagine she run her hand over your hair and it comes out full of this rough powdery stuff! By the way, make sure you shampoo before going to bed or you will be grossed out by what you see on your pillow the next morning.

I have tried several brands of hair fibers and find Eclipse to be the BEST! Other products make my head itchy, and/or they clump on my scalp and won't come off without washing it out. The Eclipse matches my hair color pretty darn close! After I apply it I simply use a hair pick to lift my natural hair up a bit and let the fibers fall closer to my scalp rather than on top of my natural hair. Once I do that, you can't even see the fibers. I feel totally confident I don't look like I'm using something to hide my thinning hair. Another thing I love about Eclipse is it doesn't find it's way under my nails if I happen to scratch my head! With the other brands, (especially the ones that itch me) my nails would be filled with the fibers if I scratched my head. While all the various fibers are relatively expensive, for me the job that Eclipse does is worth every penny and it isn't any more expensive than the others. I can highly recommend this product.

Wonderful product

I've been using this product for many years. Very effective. Wish the price was cheaper.

Purchased this product to camouflage some areas of thinning hair primarily in the area of the temples. It does an amazing job of filling in the thin spots while being virtually undetectable. A light spritz of hairspray sets the fibers and they stay put, even overnight. I have tried the two top hair thickening fibers prior to giving the Eclipse brand a try, and can honestly say I prefer Eclipse and will be purchasing it from now on. Fairly priced and definitely does the job.

Works amazingly, little mess application, lasts!

It's alright. I found that this product didn't really work too well with my hair. It's hard to blend and make it look natural compared to other products I've tried.
