Nut Job FAQs

Hair fibres are tiny cosmetic fibres that attach to existing hair to make it look thicker and reduce the appearance of visible scalp. They provide an instant cosmetic result rather than stimulating new hair growth.

Nut Job’s cotton microfibres use electrostatic attraction to cling to existing hair, increasing the apparent thickness of individual strands. This creates the look of greater density across thinning areas in seconds.

Yes, they do. Nut Job hair fibres look and feel like hair. The hair fibres cling to the individual hair strand, making them up to 10 x thicker. Our hair fibres come in 7 different colours and are undetectable, creating a more natural thicker full head of hair.

Yes, Nut Job fibres really work! Our cotton hair fibres are undetectable and when applied to your natural hair, make hair look 10 x thicker covering thinning and bald spots. Nut Job Hair Building fibres come in 7 shades and are suitable for all hair types.

Nut Job hair fibres need existing hair to cling to. Nut Job does a great job at covering bald spots and thinning hair as long as the cotton fibres have at least some (even fine) hair to cling to. Applying Nut Job to thinning, bald spots will make the hair appear thicker and give you overall thicker looking hair.

Yes, provided some hair remains in the thinning area. A crown that has become sparse rather than completely bald is one of the areas where hair fibres can make a particularly noticeable difference.

They can, as long as there is existing hair around the hairline. Apply a small amount gradually and use a Hairline Optimiser if you want greater control and a more natural-looking edge.

No. Hair fibres are a cosmetic solution that make the hair you already have look thicker; they do not stimulate new hair growth. The advantage is that the cosmetic result is immediate rather than taking months to appear.

Nut Job Hair Fibres sit on the outside of your existing hair rather than altering the hair follicle. They wash away with shampoo and are intended as a cosmetic way to disguise thinning rather than a treatment for hair loss.

Nut Job™ Hair Building Fibres are made from 100% natural cotton fibres and dyed with natural dyes. We have gone to great lengths to create a product that looks and feels like your natural hair without resorting to harsh chemicals and artificial products. After all, your hair is natural so why wouldn't your hair builder be? You can see the full ingredients list below.

Ingredients: Cellulose 95%, Sodium Sulfate, Aluminium Silicate, contains traces of Ammonium Chloride, may contain mineral based colour

Nut Job uses plant-derived cotton, while keratin fibres are commonly derived from animal sources such as wool. Cotton gives Nut Job a natural appearance (they are a lightweight, vegan alternative) and avoids some of the itching, irritation and colour-leaching issues that can occur with some keratin fibre products.

Nut Job hair fibres are made from natural cotton fibres so you are not using any harsh, synthetic chemicals on your scalp. Nut Job does not contain any keratin, which means our hair fibres are colourfast, they won’t run when they come in contact with water or do further damage to your hair follicles. Try to avoid hair fibres that say they are made of “keratin” since those products do contain a lot of chemicals.

Yes. Nut Job’s fibres are plant-derived rather than made from animal keratin, making them suitable for customers looking for a vegan hair fibre option.

Absolutely! There are no side effects or negative effects from Nut Job cotton hair fibres at all. Nut Job hair fibres will stay in your hair until you wash them out. You only have to reapply Nut Job, after you wash and shampoo your hair. They are wind, rain and sweat proof!

Absolutely! Nut Job Hair Building Fibres are natural and don't affect your hair or scalp at all. You can go on living your life with a brand new everyday solution!

Nut Job hair fibres are made of cotton, so they are safe to be applied regularly without irritation. We do suggest applying your hair fibres in a well ventilated area and to keep away from your mouth to avoid inhalation. Turn off the bathroom fan when applying and don’t apply in front of an open window if it’s windy.

None! We have perfected the Nut Job formula so you can use the hair fibres after every wash without having to reapply or worry about fall out. Because our fibres are made from natural cotton you are not exposed to harmful chemicals or irritation, like you would if you used keratin hair fibres.

Our hair fibres are made from 100% cotton which means they’re colour fast and won’t run. We don’t use harmful dyes, synthetic or harsh chemicals so Nut Job won’t run down your shirt or stain your skin, if they come in contact with sweat or water.

No, they are invisible once applied as they blend in with the hair that is there. Nut Job hair fibres are undetectable (even close up) as the tiny electrostatic micro-fibres cling to the individual hair strand. People won’t be able to tell you’re wearing hair fibres, the product will blend into your natural hair making the hair appear 10 x thicker.

Nut Job Hair Building fibres are tiny hair like fibres that are completely undetectable. The hair fibres look and feel natural and blend into your existing hair. Once you apply Nut Job, the fibres blend seamlessly into your natural hair without build up or fall out.

Style clean, dry hair first, then shake or apply the fibres over the thinning area and gently distribute them through the existing hair. Build the coverage gradually and finish with Finishing Spray if you want extra hold.

Style your hair first and apply the fibres afterwards. You can make small adjustments once they’re in place, but heavy brushing or vigorous styling can disturb the finished coverage.

Once you apply Nut Job hair fibres, you can comb or brush your hair like normal. We recommend brushing your hair first, applying and styling but if you need to brush your hair, the hair fibres will stay in place until they’re washed out with shampoo. Just don’t be too rigorous with your brushing.

There is no need to tease your hair before applying Nut Job. Nut Job hair fibres do the heavy lifting for you! Our microfibres cling to each individual hair strand creating a full thicker looking head of hair without damaging the hair. But if you want to tease your hair, you absolutely can.

You sure can. Nut Job won't react with any styling products you use on your hair. Just make sure that when you apply Nut Job your hair is clean and dry and don't go overboard with the products, after all, you have a perfect head of hair now, no need to style up a storm to cover anything up! Show off your new natural look. Also remember that the fixative spray will hold your style so many guys find that the Nut Job system is all they need to style their hair.

Nut Job colours have been created to perfectly match your hair colour, however, everyone's hair is different. Some people will require two different colours mixed together to achieve best results. We do our best with the colour representations on our website, however, every monitor renders colour slightly differently so if you're unsure which colour is right for you, feel free to contact our customer care team and we will help you choose the best colour for you.

Yes. Mixing shades can be particularly useful for salt-and-pepper hair or when your natural colour falls between two Nut Job shades. Experiment with a small amount first until the blend looks right in natural light.

More isn’t necessarily better. Too many fibres can make the result look less natural, so start lightly, check the coverage and add more only where you can still see scalp.

Yes, Nut Job fibres are designed to cling electrostatically to your existing hair during normal windy conditions. For extra hold outdoors, finish your application with Finishing Spray.

Nut Job hair fibres cling to your hair no matter how much you sweat! Our cotton hair fibres are designed to come out when you wash and shampoo your hair, so no matter how much you sweat Nut Job hair fibres will stay in place.

Our cotton hair fibres are designed to stay in regardless of the weather! If you feel you want extra protection for peace of mind, you can add a light layer of Nut Job fixing spray but this isn’t necessary.

Nut Job fibres wash out in water. If you swim with hair fibres in they will wash out but once your hair has dried, you are able to reapply. You may also find that using Rootz under your hair fibres works great if you are planning a day at the beach. Rootz is waterproof and will help to keep some coverage should your fibres wash out.

Yes you can. Avoid washing your hair if you want to keep your fibres in place, or shampoo your hair to wash the fibres out. Once your hair is clean and dry, simply reapply them.

No. Nut Job is very static so it will cling to your hair no matter what you're doing. Our hair fibres are super clingy hair fibres.

You can sleep with hair fibres in because the fibres are electrostatic so they won’t come out until you wash your hair.
If you do find you have experienced some fall out on your pillow, you might only need a small touch up.

Nut Job hair fibres are tiny electrostatic cotton fibres that cling to the individual hair strand. The fibres won’t come off when you sleep or come off on your pillow. If you do notice any fibres coming off on anything then you are probably using too much. You could try to use less and you could also try using a hair spray.

Nut Job hair fibres don’t stain your skin or your clothing even with a slight bit of moisture. Our hair fibres are made from natural dyes and cotton fibres, which means they are 100% colour fast and won’t turn green when exposed to water or sunlight unlike other keratin hair fibres on the market.

No. Nut Job is totally colourfast. Simply brush it off and it will disappear into thin air.

Nut Job hair fibres will not clog the drain when you wash them out as they’re tiny undetectable hair like fibres. They will wash down the drain without causing any build up in the sink.

You can leave them in as long as you like. Nut Job hair fibres are designed to cling to the individual hair shaft until you wash them out with shampoo. Our 100% cotton hair fibres are electrostatic so they hold in the hair until you are ready to wash and reapply.

Nut Job will last in your hair until you wash it out. To remove, simply wash your hair as you normally do and once your hair has dried, you may reapply long lasting Nut Job again.

Nut Job hair fibres are not permanent however they will last until you wash and shampoo them out. Our 100% cotton hair fibres are designed to last through sweat, light rain and wind so there is no need to reapply every day.

This depends on the size of the thinning area and how much you use at each application. Using only enough to achieve natural-looking coverage will make each bottle last longer than heavy application.

Absolutely! This is part of the reason why we developed Nut Job with natural ingredients, so it won't react with hair regrowth solutions, laser treatments or hair transplants. This means that you can have instant results whilst you wait for the results of your treatment to appear.

Only once your surgeon or treating clinician says your scalp has healed sufficiently for cosmetic products. Do not apply fibres to a fresh or healing transplant area without medical clearance.

Of course! Simply apply a combination of Nut Job Light Grey with your original colour. There are two ways to do this:

If you are less than 50% grey, then you should be able to apply Nut Job in your original colour to your roots without any issues. Keeping the hair closest to your roots in your original colour will help to make the thinning area less noticeable.

If you are more than 50% grey, simply apply a combination of Nut Job Light Grey with your original colour. You may need to experiment a bit with what works best for you. Apply the Nut Job in your original colour first, pat down to blend in, then apply a very light dusting of the Nut Job Light Grey on top and pat/blend.

You can also do it the other way around (apply the light grey first then the original colour).

Grey hair is the hardest colour to blend because blonde hair going grey is a completely different colour to black hair going grey. So we really do recommend you try it out at home before taking it to the streets.

It's easy once you get the hang of it. You'll be amazed how much younger you feel and how great it looks!

No, our packages don't say anything about thinning hair on the outside, so your secret is safe!

All the information about thinning hair is printed on the box Nut Job comes in, so once you throw that away, you are left with an inconspicuous bottle that looks like all the rest of your styling products. So don't worry, if your girlfriend snoops, she'll just think Nut Job is another product you use to shape your full head of hair.

Check Nut Job’s colour guide before ordering and match to the hair surrounding your thinning area. If you’re unsure between shades, contact us before opening the product so we can help you choose the closest match.

Not necessarily: many men use the fibres on their own for normal everyday wear. Finishing Spray is useful when you want extra hold, particularly for workouts, humid weather, wind or longer days.

Not everyone does. It is most useful if you are applying fibres around a receding or thinning front hairline and want greater control over the shape and edge of the application.

That depends on where you’re thinning, how much scalp is visible and whether the main issue is your crown, hairline or general density. Use the Nut Job product finder or colour guide to identify the combination that best suits your hair.
