This thickener is a great product

I bought this product to cover gray part-line roots between coloring (use medium brown color) and to thicken thinning area above forehead. It works very well and lasts like crazy. Did not come out until I washed it out. Spray on sparingly and work around with tissue works best. Can also use what comes off on the tissue to cover places you don't want to spray such as temple. I really like this product, but again, please understand I am not covering a bald spot - just thickening and covering my gray. Hope it works for you!
Still using and have a recruit, too!

Started using this in 06. Still use this product over any of the others I have tried on this site. I would give it a 4 and a half, nothing is more perfect than hair..!It does have some over-spray so if it bothers you, put something down to catch the over-spray, newspaper works. Wash your face AFTER you put this on and don't wear light clothes spraying it on! I shower, blow dry, spray on by parting my thining areas and then wash my face. Doesn't take that much time to do and the results are great if you have your routine down pretty well. My mother is now using it, too. Even if my hair hasn't grown back yet, I'll keep using this product and am helping my mom fulproof her hair-do. She's 76! She is doing really well with it so far and loves not seeing her pink scalp! go mom!
Excellent Product

Jet Black Works for Me

I recently had a hair transplant. As it grew in, it was like having my old looks back. I needed to boost the growth process so I used some supplements. For the finishing touch, I used Jerome Russell Jet Black Hair Coloring spray. It has such a natural look, that it amazes people who know me. It is easy to apply now, but when first using this product, watch for over spray. It wears excellently, and I am quite satisfied with this product. I am planning a second transplant, and it should fill in the rest of my hair line. My thanks to Jerome Russell.
Excellent

I've used this product for more than 10 years. It is excellent; don't know what I would do without it. My bald spot is totally hidden, and the product blends well with my hair to given a fully look.
It works perfectly

I had a gastric bypass a few years ago and before that I had valve surgery on my heart. I tell you this because I not only had hair loss after the heart thing but after the bypass it got worse. I tried a few other products with not such great results. For my kind of hair loss (thinning on the right side and around the part and bang area) Jerome Russell's Hair Color Thickener for Thinning Hair is definately the most effective. It does take practice and it took me a while to really perfect my technique but the results are really fantastic. After washing and blow drying my hair I carefully spray on the Jerome Russell's Hair Color Thickener for Thinning Hair where needed, let it dry and then spray with hair spray. After that all dried it is stiff so you have to carefully brush the hair without scraping your scalp itself with the brush. I am then able to style it and have recently been using a waving iron as well. It is a long process so I usually wash my hair only twice a week but it really looks the way I want.It's a lot better than running around bald and wincing when people would look at my hair. I hope this helps someone who has known this kind of heartbreak themselves. C. G.
This stuff ROCKS!

I lost a lot of hair after weight loss surgery and I need this to keep me from looking bald now that I am skinny...I was using DERMATCH and that stuff was a mess, it wasn't good coverage and then I found this spray, takes 5 seconds to apply and stays until I wash it out. the only drawback is the price and the fact that my bathroom is covered in jet black dust constantly.
This stuff's great!

My hair started falling out after the birth of my first child (which is considered normal) Normal or not I was devisatated and needed something in between to hide the bald spots. This stuff works great and I have two huge bald spots on both temples. I hope my hair grows back soon, but until then, I will keep using this product!

I bought Jerome Russels' hair color and thickener on just the slight chance my husband would use it on "his" thinning hair. I found it at a salon where my daughter worked the register and it was on sale this particular day to my delight! I bought all the cans there were just in case. I don't like regrets. Well, time wore on and no luck on the husband part. But, almost two yrs later, I found *myself* losing hair each shampoo! Before I even got around to asking my Dr. or local beauty shops what could be causing this sudden condition, my hair had thinned so much it was definitly noticable. I was heartbroken. I always had the thickest, longest dark brown hair around! I could see my scalp where my bangs were and it was really thinning in the mid section of the top of my head where my part was. I would put my hand on my head and it felt like I had no hair at all!. I was devastated to say the least. Till........... I remembered those cans of hair thickener. I had hope. I tried it and what an answer to prayer!! It hid the balding areas by matching my hair color perfectly thus disguising my scalf for hair and even gave it a "lift" so to speak because of the powder consistency to it. I love it! It has raised my confidence to go out in public without dread. I can go quite a few days with it also; those emergencies we encounter, and it absorbs the oil nicely in that case. The hair loss may be hormonal, stress related or a vitamin deficency, but the product is a miracle! I'm on a mission to see if I can regrow some or all of my hair thickness back, but till then..., Please accept my honest and deepest thanks for a product that has saved my life outside my home!
Does the job!

Covers bald spots well. Any hairspray works with it.
