Can you take hair fibers on a plane

Yeah I definitely had thought about this the first time I traveled with Toppik. Like Latin said it does look like Gunpowder and I doubt it's something that these security check people probably see often.

Fortunately though I've never had an issue and I've traveled with it many times as carry on and checked in with my luggage. I definitely worried more about carry on. I take the medium size bottle and just included it with all the other bath stuff.

I'd love to hear someones story if they did get pulled aside for it though. Having to tell/show them it helps hide my bald spot might be kind of embarassing :-)

Can you take hair fibers on a plane

    Hi,

    Does anybody have experience with bringing hair concealers such as toppik, nanogen, etc. onto the plane in their carry on bag?

    Would airport security question me on what the powder is? I really need it while on vacation and would hate for it to get taken away.

    Thanks

    Since it's not liquid I can't see where there would be a problem - no different than face powder. It's been quite awhile since I had enough hair that Toppik was helpful, but I've never been stopped at security for that or the clips on my topper (now bond so that's no longer an issue).

    It won't be a problem at all, I travel with all sorts of cosmetics. The only thing that would be an issue is a liquid over 3 ounces.

Hope someone can help with this.

Ive recently been loosing my hair and I have been using Toppik fibres on my hair for it to look hide my problems.... And that's that.

I'm planning a holiday and will only be using my carry on luggage.
Id like to take my tube of fibres... But I'm concerned they might think if something more sinister.
Has anyone had any problems taking hair thickening fibres through customs at all?

Thanks in advance.

“I’ve never had a bad hair day,” said no one ever! Whether you style your hair curly or straight, wear weave or extensions, or wear your hair up or down, everyone has had those days where your hair will not fall into place as you hoped. Imagine traveling through the security checkpoint on your best hair day of any season, and having to go through additional screening of your hair. It can’t be my hair that caused the alarm? Could it?  Here are few tips and tricks you should know before you head out to the airport.

Know TSA’s Liquids Rule

We all have those “can’t leave home without them” necessities to include our go-to hair products. The good news is you CAN carry them on, but with a few stipulations. Liquids, including, gels, creams and aerosols are allowed in your carry-on bag, but only if they adhere to TSA’s 3-1-1 liquids rule. Whether you buy the travel size or save a few coins and place what you already have in a reusable travel size container, each container must be 3.4 ounces or less, stored in a 1-quart size bag, and 1 zip-top bag is allowed per person. You’ll have to place your liquids bag in a bin for screening, so for your convenience pack them in a place that’s easy to get to.

You can skip that step entirely by packing your liquids in your checked bag. Since there are no limits on the size or amount of liquids in your checked bag, your favorite full size shampoo and conditioner can fly, but let’s be honest, who wants to risk any messy spillage?

Remember these tips before you fly

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind before you arrive at the airport. Hair accessories such as bobby pins, metal clips, ties, wraps, and even bows may cause an alarm. This may also include clip-on extensions, wigs, toppers, and certain hair styles such as braids or a hair bun. To avoid any potential delays, it’s best to keep it simple while going through security. You can always style your hair to your liking after you’ve gone through screening and right before you board your flight.

What to expect during screening

You may be screened by a walk-through metal detector, an advanced imaging technology machine and/or a pat-down. If by chance your head region sets off an alarm during screening, then you will get a pat-down conducted by an officer of the same gender as your present yourself. Before the start of a pat-down, the officer will walk you through the process, which includes an officer using their hands to conduct a physical inspection of your hair to ensure that no prohibited items are being concealed. Reminder, communication is key!

  • DO be sure to tell the TSA officer of any sensitivities or concerns you may have before the inspection.
  • Don’t hesitate to ask the officer to use a new pair of gloves.
  • DO remember that you can always request to speak with a supervisor or request a private screening accompanied by a companion of your choice.

How long does hair fibers last in your hair?

The fibers will stay in your hair overnight with only a minimal need for touch-ups in the morning. If you are using it every day, a 12g bottle of Toppik Hair Building Fibers will last about 30 days, and a 27.5g bottle will last about 60 days.

Does hair fiber damage hair?

No, Hair thickening fibers do not include any chemicals that might hurt the scalp or hair follicles, therefore they cannot cause more hair loss or thinning. SureThik hair fibers are made from organic keratin and do not include any harmful chemicals that might harm the hair or scalp.

Can hair fibers get wet?

No, Finally Hair Building Fibers must be applied to dry hair. If the Fibers are applied to wet hair they will not adhere properly and can clump together. For best results make sure your hair is completely dry before applying the Fibers.

Are hair fibers permanent?

These Hair Thickening Fibers blend in with your existing hair, significantly building up the volume of hair and minimizing the appearance of thinning hair. These fibers can help you to get temporary results but are not the permanent solution to your hair loss problems.
