Hi Robert, great review, thanks for your work. I started using Nanagen after being a Toppik customer for 2 years. I have not looked back.

As you said, they’re pretty much the same thing, but I found that Toppik woud make my head itchy and it looked a bit ‘dull’. I have not had this problem with nanogen. Your right about the postage times, my Nanogen takes about 5 days to get to me, but I stock up so no big deal.

Am looking into transsplants now (and saving the $$$).

I’ve only used Nanogen so far, but I’d suggest getting the spray along with the product, or at least something store-bought. Anything to make it wet, or it just looks like dry dirt on your hair. Besides that, the Nanogen has been a great concealer.

As far as regrowth, I’ve been using minoxidil for 4 or 5 months now and it’s hard to tell if anything is happening yet. I’m going to start Propecia as well and hope either or both work. Hopefully some day they’ll have something that inhibits or blocks the DHT from the start, thereby getting rid of the problem altogether before it can begin.

hi – thought i’d add my comment after reading this excellent review. maybe coz i’m english and i can get supplies the next day, but i have tried both products and as you can see from my username – i love nanogen. much better product – it is just works instantly and gives a lift. toppik is somehow less static and i found it itchy – don;t know if that is just me. also i find the nanogen colours richer and toppik ones flat. for me both products are pretty similar but i would go for nanogen everytime.

I’m a toppik user for 3 years now & it gives amazing result every time i use it, though it has one ingredient that concerns me which i read in the internet, ammonium chloride, if inhaled, it can cause various illnesses & toppik happens to be in a powder form that can be easily fly in the air, so i switch to nanogen that does not seem to contain this ingredient. anyway the problem with this product is you have to use a lot to cover the thinning area, not like toppik, you just need to use less to get the result. i just hope we get a hair concealer that is really safe to use & effective like toppik.
