Toppik Internet Scams
Our first order of business for our scam category is the hair loss product from Toppik. One of the common hair restoration products they sell is know as “Toppik Hair Building Fibers 25gm”. Some of the marketing material goes something like this;
“Toppik is an amazing new complex of tiny micro-fiber “hairs” that perfectly blend with your hair. Toppik fibers are made of the same organic Keratin protein as your own hair. Through a unique process these fibers are restructured to blend undetectable with your hair”
As far as Toppik’s hair loss products being a true scam, there is not court documentation, or legal precedent stating that Toppik marketing is misleading, and harmful to “unsuspecting consumers”. However, Toppik’s marketing does not point out how much hair you need to still have on your head in order for their products to work well.
From everything I’ve read, Toppik hair restoration products can work well depending on the scalp and skin type, and how much hair exists already. If you just have a bald spot, then you may be happy with the outcome. You may not consider Toppik to be a scam at all!
However, if you are just plain pretty well bald as a cue ball, you are going to be unhappy. If you were led to believe from Toppik marketing, that you would re-gain a full head of hair, you are going to be screaming scam.
So in conclusion, buyer beware. I should point out that I’ve never read or seen ANY Toppik advertising online or offline, that claims to help consumers re-grow a full head of hair. I don’t believe Toppik hair growth products to be a scam.
I do believe there are better hair loss, or hair treatments that are much more effective. Some sites carry all of the reputable hair loss products, and they explain what they all do for men and women with different hair problems. Consumers should be wise, and only buy from major hair product sites to avoid being scammed.
