I got hair ‘mascara’ to cover thin spots along my hairline – it disguises extension tracks too & is on sale for $15

AS I've gotten older, hair thinning around my scalp has started to make me feel a little self-conscious — but I recently found an easy fix.

After spontaneously buying what I thought was mascara on a quick trip to Ulta, a budget beauty buy took my hairline from sparse to stylish with a few swipes.

I'm going to admit that I've chemically treated my hair most of my life and manipulated it with hair extensions and pieces.

As a result, I've developed a few thin pockets, especially around my middle part.

They probably aren't noticeable to the average person passing me by on the street, but I can spot them.

I'm a busy gal, so sometimes I can't make the time to try different viral solutions that TikTokers use, like this Indian hair growth remedy one mom swears by for bald spots.

I'm not sure what caused my locks to start shedding, but several experts have said that hair loss could be due to many things, including diet, stress, and hormonal changes, to name a few.

There are so many hair growth tips on the market from rosemary oil to scalp massaging, but sometimes you just want a quick and easy temporary fix.

Thankfully, I found a haircare item that covers up those pesky thin spots around my scalp so I no longer have to worry about what others may think.

That's where the Toppik Fill Me In Hairline Filler comes in.

It's normally $24.95 but is currently on sale at Amazon for $14.97.

It may look like a mascara tube, but it's meant to be used on your scalp instead of your eyelashes.

You can choose from black, dark brown, medium brown, or blonde shades.

I picked up the dark brown color, and it was a perfect match.

I like it so much that I've even used it around my extensions, so it blends better.

I've even used it a few times to quickly swipe away some gray hairs.

According to the product description, the Toppik filler "helps you sculpt a visibly full and natural-looking hairline in three easy steps."

APPLICATION PROCESS

First, I used the doe-foot tip at the end of the stick to dab and fill sparse areas.

Next, I swiped the mascara-like spoolie in one direction to resemble natural hair­ strokes.

Lastly, I popped open a tiny compartment at the end of the tube with a small sponge.

I blended with the tool, so it all seamlessly came together.

I love how I achieved a fuller and snatched hairline in less than five minutes, and it instantly looked thicker with minimal effort.

It's a long-lasting formula, so unless I wash my hair, the color won't budge.

BULK BENEFITS

Not only does it make you look good, but it's also good for you.

If you don't have time to douse your head in oils and chemicals, then a few swipes of this could also help.

It is made with keratin protein fibers that aid in growth, so you're actively building your follicles back up.

It can also be used on your eyebrows and to touch up your roots between color treatments.

One of my favorite aspects of the Toppik product is that it's also great whenever you're on the go or traveling.

The Toppik Fill Me In Hairline Filler has a 3-in-1 applicator that makes it easy to "build, fill, and blend precisely for touch-ups anytime, anywhere."

It fits right in my makeup bag or I can shove it right in my pocket as I head to work and dab a bit on in the office.

I recommend it for anyone with a fast-paced lifestyle who also wants to look their best.
