Joan Rivers Beauty Great Hair Day Fill in Powder- Brunette

I’ve been using this product for years & I like the ease of using it & it covers my thinning spots well. I don’t go without it

I'm not a vain person, I don't typically wear make-up and my hair care routine exists of using my car's heater to blow dry my hair on the drive to work in the morning. That said, I do admit that I've always felt self-conscious about how thin my hair started getting, starting in my early 20s. My hair is baby fine and thinning on the back of my crown, and also along a kind of widow's peak cowlick in the front. I'm very white/pink and my scalp is very BRIGHT and makes everything look even worse than it really is. I've considered getting a wig or hair pieces, but I have very sensitive skin and my scalp gets too itchy. If I go one day without washing my hair, I start to look like I'm going bald. It's pretty sad. Anyway, I've tried using light brown matte eye shadow to hide the bald cowlick in the front, but you could always see the powder on my scalp and I was nervous that people could tell what I'd done. I was kind of worried that it would be the same with this this powder, but miraculously, that was not the case. After my hair dries, I take about a minute in the bathroom (using the little mirror on the compact that came with the powder) to lightly brush the thinning areas at the roots, including very lightly along my entire part. I don't overdo it, just a touch, but I'm amazed at the results. It's incredibly natural looking, I have brown hair and ordered the blond formula after reading reviews and it was the perfect shade. Now to address two criticism I read about in other reviews that I was worried about: 1. That it has an unpleasant fragrance. OK, this is kind of true...but it is a very faint fragrance, and I have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell. I'm always smelling things that other people can't, and I was worried that the scent would be flowery and overpowering, but it is not. Particularly if you use the powder sparingly. My husband was hugging me with his nose right up to my hair and he didn't notice anything, and his smell is even more sensitive than mine, in fact, I can't wear certain lotions etc. because he's so sensitive to the smell. -2.That it changes the texture of your hair and makes it feel dirty. Again, I have VERY fine hair that gets super oily after one day without washing it, so I was really worried about this. But, when I run my fingers through my hair, I feel nothing. Maybe if you were covering a very large area, it would change the feel, but not if you're just covering small patches. So, overall, I love this stuff and will be using this product daily from now on. I feel like it has really made me look like I have more hair, even though it isn't one of those texture hair fiber products. It doesn't come off on or stain your fingers, or show up on your pillow...it's really amazing. So, while it is a bit spendy, I think you should go for it if you are on the fence about whether or not to order this. I almost skipped it, and I'm so glad that I didn't! UPDATE: August 3rd, 2016. Still using the little compact, almost daily. This stuff lasts a long time if you're only using it for covering patches. I decided to upload a before and after photo to show how much it helps.

Great product. Have been using this for over 20 years. Perfect for when roots are just starting to show grey. I’d say it even gives hair a bit of a lift.

Love it, it is amazing works wonders

I have used this product for years. I had hormonal issues due to my hypothyroidism and my hair starting falling out and thinning. Got my medication in order and started using Rogain to stop any further loss. However my scalp shows in various spots especially around my face. I just brush this product on and viola! you would never know that my hair is sparse there. Couldn’t live without it now. It has given my confidence again.
