How Do Toppik Hair Fibers Fare Adding Topical Minoxidil?

Treatments Minoxidil

I have diffuse thinning across the tip of my head that has held steady for a couple years. I have been using Toppik starting earlier this year, and I’m very happy with it – my relatively in-tact hairline makes it effective and pretty unnoticeable.

I would like to start meds to reclaim some of these losses, or at least maintain. I have a doctor checkup Oct 8, where I will ask about Fin. For the Minoxidil though, I am concerned topical foam/liquid will mess up or complicate the effectiveness of the Toppik. I usually let me hair dry and put apply very light pomade before applying the Toppick, as I’ve found doing it while my hair/scalp is still damp makes it more likely to clump and not apply evenly – and I suspect the Minoxidil will make my hair/scalp similarly damp.

Does anyone have experience with this issue, or any tips? I have seen posts with good results from the topical, so I don’t want to rule it out, but also don’t want it to jeopardize my Toppik…illusion…in the meantime, and in that case will probably ask my doctor about oral Minox.

Any feedback is appreciated – thanks!

If you want to use topical min, apply it first and let it dry completely before putting on Toppik. You can also consider using oral min if you’re concerned about dampness from topical min affecting Toppik. Each method has its own pros and cons, but oral min might be more convenient in your situation. Check out The Beginner’s Guide for more info on min and fin.
