Toppik hair fibers wash out with your regular shampoo. Brush out loose fibers first, wet your hair well, shampoo once, and wash a second time if you used holding spray, gel or wax. There is no special remover needed. Toppik says its fibers stay in place until you wash your hair, so the end of the day is simply a normal hair wash.
Many first-time buyers worry that fibers will be hard to get out. In practice, removal is quick. The tips below make it cleaner and keep fibers off your towel, sink and clothes.
How to Wash Out Toppik Hair Fibers, Step by Step
- Brush first. Lean over the sink or bin and gently brush your hair. This loosens and removes many of the fibers before they get wet.
- Wet your hair thoroughly. Use warm water and let it run through your hair for a minute.
- Shampoo as normal. Massage the shampoo into your scalp and the areas where you applied fibers.
- Rinse well. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear.
- Wash a second time if needed. Holding spray, gel and wax can hold fibers in place, so a second shampoo removes anything left.
- Condition and dry as usual. Your hair is ready for a fresh application the next morning.
Why Some Fibers Stay After One Wash
If you notice a few fibers after washing, it is usually because of what was on top of them, not the fibers themselves:
- Holding spray: it is designed to bond the fibers to your hair, so it takes a little more shampoo to break down.
- Gel or wax: heavy styling products trap fibers. A second wash usually clears them.
- Too much product: a heavy layer of fibers leaves more to rinse out. Lighter layers look more natural and wash out faster.
How to Remove Fibers From Skin, Clothes and Towels
| Where | How to remove |
|---|---|
| Forehead, ears or neck | Wipe with a damp cloth or tissue |
| Shirt collar or shoulders | Brush off while dry, before it gets damp |
| Bathroom sink | Rinse with water and wipe |
| Towels and pillowcases | Wash as normal; a dark colour hides any marks between washes |
Applying fibers before you put on your shirt, and using the Hairline Optimizer near your forehead, keeps most fibers off your skin and clothes in the first place.
Tips for Less Mess Every Day
- Apply over the sink so loose fibers fall where they are easy to rinse away.
- Use a spray applicator for small areas. The Toppik Hair Fiber Applicator puts fibers only where you aim. Our guide on using the spray applicator and hairline optimizer shows how.
- Set with holding spray. Toppik Holding Spray keeps fibers in your hair instead of on your collar during the day.
- Use less, in layers. A light layer looks better and leaves less to wash out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Toppik come out with water alone?
Water rinses out most of the fibers, but shampoo removes them fully, along with any holding spray or styling product underneath.
Do I need a special shampoo to remove Toppik?
No. Your regular shampoo works. If you used a lot of holding spray, gel or wax, wash twice.
Can I sleep with Toppik in my hair?
Toppik fibers stay in place until you wash your hair, but some may rub off onto your pillowcase overnight. If you want to keep your bedding clean, wash them out before bed or use a dark pillowcase.
Will washing out Toppik every day harm my hair?
Toppik says its fibers do not encourage or discourage hair growth. Washing them out is the same as your normal hair wash. Use a gentle shampoo if you wash every day.
How do I clean fibers off my forehead or neck?
Wipe the area with a damp cloth or tissue. The fibers come off skin easily.
