I'm very thin on top, thin on the front. I first used Nut Job just heaping it on and it was a bit of a disaster. So I emailed the Nut Job team and they replied with instructions. Which were to do little sprinkles and very gently pat your hair. It takes time but really works. After a few minutes of sprinkle/pat my thinning hair began to completely cover up with natural looking hair coverage. You need at least some hair for the fibres to cling to. The finished look was complete coverage. I actually had to pull it back a bit as it was too obvious that my hair line had completely recovered. Finding a balance between thick hair and enough coverage to looked natural to those who know me. Not a single look or question about it from friends and family. Follow the instructions and be honest with how you currently look to what would look good but naturally you and you'll be very pleased I reckon.
