How to use hair fibers

Shampoo and fully dry your hair, then hold the bottle at about 45° and gently dab fibers onto the thinning area. Pat lightly so they blend, then spray Super Million Hair Hard Hair Mist from about 15 cm to lock them in. Once practised, most people finish in under a minute.

The 4 steps, one by one

  1. Illustration: combing clean, dry hair before applying fibers

    Start with clean, dry, oil-free hair

    Shampoo, dry completely and comb. Oil, pomade or damp hair stops the fibers bonding and makes them clump.

  2. Illustration: dabbing fibers onto thinning hair with the bottle held at 45 degrees

    Dab fibers on at 45°

    Hold the bottle about 45° above the thinning area and tap gently. Build up slowly and check in the mirror.

  3. Illustration: patting the hair lightly so the fibers blend in

    Pat to blend

    Pat softly with your fingertips so the fibers settle into your own hair. Pat, don't rub.

  4. Illustration: spraying Hard Hair Mist from about 15 cm to set the fibers

    Set with Hard Hair Mist

    Spray from about 15 cm. The mist locks the fibers in against wind, sweat and rain.

Why not ordinary hairspray? Firm-hold sprays come out too hard and can blow the fibers out of place, and they are harsh on the scalp with daily use. Hard Hair Mist is made to set the fibers gently.

Technique by area

Crown

Part your hair and work section by section, tapping fibers along each part. Check the back with a hand mirror held against a wall mirror. More crown tips.

Hairline

Use a very light touch at the front edge and pat slightly back from the hairline, so the line stays soft and natural rather than solid. Hairline guide.

Widening parting

Tap a thin line of fibers along the part, then pat. Most women need only a small amount here. Guide for women.

Small patchy areas

Where there is very little hair to hold the fibers, spray a light layer of Hard Hair Mist first, apply fibers, then mist again to set.

How much should you use?

Less than you think. Start with a light layer, pat, and check in daylight before adding more. Fibers need some existing hair to cling to, so they are not suitable for a completely bald area. After a few days most people can apply confidently without a mirror.

Common mistakes

  • Applying to wet or oily hair. The fibers clump instead of clinging.
  • Using pomade, wax or cream first. Style afterwards with the mist instead.
  • Rubbing to blend. Rubbing moves the fibers onto the scalp. Pat instead.
  • Skipping the mist. Without it, wind and a helmet can shift the fibers.
  • Combing hard afterwards. Shape gently with your fingers.

Through the day

  • Rain, wind and sweat: set with Hard Hair Mist, the fibers hold.
  • Helmets and caps: fine once the mist has fully dried.
  • Sleeping: a little may transfer, so cover your pillow with a towel.
  • Removing: one wash with ordinary shampoo, no special remover needed.

Using a hair-loss treatment? Apply your treatment first and dry your hair completely with a hairdryer, then apply fibers and mist. Ask your doctor about your specific treatment.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to apply hair fibers?

Once you have practised a few times, a full application usually takes under a minute. There is no mixing or drying time, and nothing sticks to the scalp.

Do I need to use Hard Hair Mist?

It is recommended. Hard Hair Mist sets the fibers gently so they resist sweat, rain and wind. Ordinary firm-hold hairsprays spray too hard and can blow fibers out of place.

Can I apply fibers to wet or oily hair?

No. Oil, pomade, hair cream or damp hair makes the fibers curl or clump. Apply to clean, fully dry, product-free hair.

How do I remove hair fibers?

Wash with ordinary shampoo. It neutralises the static charge and the fibers rinse out completely.

Can I wear a helmet or cap after applying?

Yes. Set the fibers with Hard Hair Mist and let it dry fully first.

Will fibers come off on my pillow?

A small amount may transfer overnight, so we recommend covering your pillow with a towel.

Can I apply it myself?

Yes. It is designed for one-person use, and a hand mirror helps for the first few applications.

Super Million Hair is a cosmetic concealer. It does not treat hair loss or regrow hair. If you are losing hair suddenly, in patches, or after illness or surgery, please consult a dermatologist or your doctor.
