Toppik is the name of a hair thickening product used to cover patches of comparatively thin hair covering the heads of people. Scalp cancer is cancer of the scalp, the skin under the hair on the heads of people. Are the two of them, namely Toppik scalp cancer related to each other? Absolutely not is my unbiased verdict. But let me present them both in detail so that you can yourself reach a reasonable conclusion.

So, what is Toppik all about? Toppik is a thin-hair-concealing shake-on hair-thickening dry dust from Spencer Forrest Inc.

What does the dry dust consist of? It consists of electrostatically-charged keratin-composed microfibres of Merino wool color-matched with the hair on which it is to be applied.

How is color matching achieved? The product comes in many custom containers. Their different colors respectively match the different color shades of natural hair on the heads of different persons. You can choose the one that matches the shade of the black portion of your hair.

What is keratin and does it react with hair or scalp? It is a protein that is reaction-neutral to hair or to the scalp underlying the hair.

How is Toppik applied? It is applied by holding the custom container upside-down over the thin-haired patches on the head and shaking the container. A precaution required is to blow-dry the hair covering the head before the dust is sprinkled. The dry dust comes out of 167 microholes in the top of the container and gets sprinkled on the thin hair.

The keratin microfibres are attracted towards the thin hair on the scalp through electrostatic force. A bond is formed between the natural hair and the keratin fibres. The keratin microfibres form a thick layer and cover the thin natural hair. The whole appearance of the hair over the head then becomes abundant-looking. There are no patches left with thin hair. The process is fast and easy.

Can the product be used with equal effectiveness over all different areas of the head? No, the effectiveness is good for all areas of the head except in the hairline region.

So, can something be done to make the product effective in the hairline region? Yes. You can use the Toppik Hairline Optimizer (also from Spencer Forrest) to make the dry dust effective.

So, what is the nature of Toppik as a product? Well, Toppik can be likened to a protective cap worn over the head that hides the thin hair.

What is scalp cancer? Scalp cancer is squamous cell skin cancer (SCC) of the scalp on the head. Such cancers mostly affect completely bald or partially bald people due to direct exposure to sunlight. The disease is characterized by pain and bleeding of the lesions affected by cancerous cells in red nodules (tumors) formed on the scalp.

So, you can now reach your own conclusion on Toppik scalp cancer. I am sure you will reach the same unbiased verdict as mine.
