Q: Can I use hair fibers on a completely bald head?

Q: Do hair fibers stain clothing or bedding?

A: Hair fibers are typically formulated to minimize the risk of staining. However, some transfer of fibers may occur, especially if they come into contact with wet surfaces or excessive friction. To prevent potential staining, it’s advisable to avoid rubbing your head against fabrics or to use a protective pillowcase.

Q: Can I use hair fibers alongside other hair loss treatments?

A: Hair fibers can be used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments, such as minoxidil or hair growth medications. However, it’s important to follow the specific instructions provided for each product and consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist if you have any concerns or questions about combining treatments.

Q: Can I use hair fibers if I have colored or chemically treated hair?

A: Yes, hair fibers can generally be used on colored or chemically treated hair. Most hair fibers are designed to blend with various hair colors and textures. However, it’s always a good idea to check the product instructions or consult with a hairstylist to ensure compatibility with your specific hair type and color.

Remember, while hair fibers can provide temporary cosmetic enhancement, they do not address the underlying causes of hair loss or thinning. If you have concerns about your hair, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional or a trichologist for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate guidance.
