Here are a few other options to counteract thinning air – one is buying a realistic hairpiece (toupee), or you could also give a hair thickening spray like Toppik a shot – there’s even a comb that hits your scalp with a laser designed to invigorate your follicles and create hair growth!
What is it?
The LaserComb is a product created by HairMax that uses laser technology to promote hair growth on all parts if the head. It looks like a small and thin comb that you use almost like a normal comb. Instead of brushing briskly through the hair, you place it flat on your scalp and move it back slowly. Using the comb at least 3 times a week is recommended for best results, and most people see results after 8-16 weeks of use. HairMax claims a 90% satisfaction rate, although that is hard to prove. The LaserComb does conform to all International laser product safety standards.
How is it supposed to work?
Laser light therapy (or laser photo therapy) has been used for years in many medical capacities. Recently has it been brought to the field of hair growth in salons and hair clinics. The comb works by stimulating natural hair growth. The laser stimulates the hair follicles, increases blood flow to the hair root capillaries, and actually produces cells in the root that make up the hair shaft. It can help current healthy hair follicles grow stronger as well as help weak hair follicles begin to grow again. It cannot, however, revitalize dead hair roots. The LaserComb is a fairly new product on the market, but there have already been many reports of great results.
Cost
The LaserComb is rather expensive, with the cheapest model at $395. HairMax does have a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied after 12 weeks.

What is it?
Toppik is a topical solution that temporarily covers up your bald spots. It's kind of like a spray, except it uses keratin protein fibers that mimic the look and feel of your real hair. It works pretty much instantly, although it is of course not a permanent solution
How is it supposed to work?
The can is placed near the scalp. The proteins discharge and actually bond to the existing real hair, making it look thicker and fuller. The proteins bond and mesh with the hair with static electricity and have surprising staying power. The makers claim that wind, rain, and other elements will not cause anything to happen. There is no smearing or running unlike a spray solution. A good shampooing, however, will get rid of the proteins, and it has to be applied yet again.
Cost
Toppik is fairly cheap, ranging from $20 for a small bottle, to $70 for a large one.
