Viviscal Hair Filler Fibers

so we're going a bit review crazy over on the blog lately! 

todays post is on the Viviscal Hair Filler Fibers(*). initially, i was under the impression that these were to add volume to my hair, but this was definitely not the case - it's more to fill in more sparse areas of hair, so i was  a little wary of trying them out. basically, you shake the little tub of fibers onto the desired area and they cling to the existing hair to give a thicker, fuller appearance and i tested out the light brown shade. fortunately, i don't exactly have any of these thinner looking patches, and the pictures on the product do make it look like it's more intended for an older customer where this is more of an issue. i did give it ago round my hairline to see if it would give a fuller appearance to my hair and there was a slight difference, but nothing significant, although i imagine this would change with continued use! 

unfortunately though, these are an absolute nightmare to use and make a huge mess - the fibers fly everywhere and will cling to your clothes like nothing else, leaving a brown powdery residue behind - not the best look in the world and it instantly put me off using the fibers again, especially with beige carpets in the house! 

i don't have any before or after pictures, purely because it was noticable, but if you would like to see some, and of the mess it leaves behind then feel free to ask. 

i can't say that this is a product i think should be aimed at the bloggersphere world - it's just not really the type of product that i imagine the majority of us are interested in or need!
