Surprised., January 4, 2011
This review is from: X-Fusion Medium Brown 12 gram (Health and Beauty)
My hair has been thin on my entire crown since puberty. I don't have any bald spots per say but it is very thin and has been getting gradually thinner. In high school a popular hair style involved highlighting so that hid my problem quite well. I'm now in my late 20s and single so needless to say I didn't have any popular hairstyle options except buzz extremely short. It looks good on me but I'd rather have something else before I eventually cave to the buzz permanently.
So I've started minoxidil to save what I have for a while and on a whim ordered X-Fusion medium brown. This stuff is great with a little practice. First off, if you are like me you can't just gel your hair because it makes the thinning more obvious. So I use either hair spray, hair paste, or hair gel that I comb out/style to break apart the gelled clumps. Once I have the basic shape right and my hair isn't clumped together I apply the X-Fusion. It takes a few tries to figure out what your doing but they mean what they say about not applying to wet hair. You also have to work it just right to not get too much on your scalp because that looks bad. Once you figure out the careful art of angling your head and holding the shaker just right this isn't too bad either. If you screw up bad you can just wash your hair again.
The first days I wore it successfully female co-workers said my hair looked great and asked what had I done, meaning your not going to sneak this past someone who already knows what your hair looks like so don't try. Just be honest. I told most of them I dyed it and found a new hair styling product. If they asked anything else I told them what that product was. I think lying is a form of weakness so I don't but X-Fusion works well enough that you could. Also, Dyeing my hair darker didn't help with coverage in case your wondering but it does help with blending.
Also, don't get too wet. It does wash out if you are caught in a downpour. Probably a bad idea to do any heavy physical activity either.
My hair looks great now. I don't think it will work on bald spots but if you have hair, even if it is thin, it will help out tremendously.

It really helped me, May 19, 2010

My hair is thinning in the front but this really does a nice job in hiding it. You do have to have at least a little hair of it just looks like you rubbed ashes on your forehead. It pretty much stays where you put it but if you put it to far to the front it tends to get on your forehead. A little water fixes that it you notice. My nails do get the stuff under them if I ever scratch me head. If you want something that does quickly make your hair look thicker this is it. Just don't get it wet, it doesn't stay at all then.

X-Fusion, November 24, 2010
This review is from: X-Fusion Medium Brown 12 gram (Health and Beauty)
I was very disappointed in the color of this product. I read all the reviews on the colors and ordered the one that looked the closest to my color of hair, but when I got it, it was way too dark. Of course, once you remove the top to see what color it is, you can no longer return it, because it's been opened (but how else could I tell what color it was?). So, now I'm stuck with something I can't use and can't return. Be very careful when selecting your color. I ordered medium brown and it looks black.
