From what I understand this product does not work for all hair types and/or types of balding, depending on where on your head you are balding, i.e. front or back. Also, how short your hair might be. I saw a guy on youtube try it who had very short hair with lots of baldness and it was a disaster! My experience: I have a large bald spot at my crown. If I were Jewish I could cover it with a yamulke and be done with it. I have pretty short hair, not military short, but pretty short. I've been around the block with bald spot "solutions". I wore toupees for a couple years (hair replacement systems), and shaved my head completely bald for a year. It all sucks. What sucks the least? That's for you to try and decide. I saw the commercial for this product and thought "why not just try it?" I washed my hair in the shower, then dried it well, as instructed. I sat in a chair and had my girlfriend sprinkle the stuff on. WOW! THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! I wouldn't try to go out in a windstorm or anything, but I'm telling you IT WAS AMAZING HOW GOOD IT LOOKED! I have bought more and will continue to buy more!
