The Concealer For Thinning Hair | It’s Cool, But Does It Really Work?
Medha, Oh my God. This is so much fun.. I'M sorry, Jake Pew pew., All right, not working as well. We're gon na fill in this spot. Here. Jake, I'm Jake. Medha, I'm Medha and we're testing out inventions to see if they live up to expectations. Jake. We'Re here to answer the biggest question. Medha, It's cool, ... Jake, But does it really work? Medha, Hey guys, we're here to try out Gofybr. It's a hair-loss, concealer. Jake Gofybr is essentially a pepper shaker of hair.. You just sprinkle on a little bit and it fills out and it looks like you've got a full head of hair. Medha And apparently the product claims to be wind-resistant and water-resistant. Jake. We need to see a video.. There is no possible way that this actually works. Diving in ..., OK, bald head., Balding head.. Oh, this kind of just looks like the paint you use in theater to make your hair look like an old man., Medha Yeah. I don't I mean it just looks like powder. Jake, Oh whoa, that's pretty dramatically different Medha. It looks very real. Jake. It looks like they're, adding hair though.. All right, we've seen the video.. What do you think Medha Medha? So I think it was pretty convincing.. It looks better than a toupee or a comb-over., Those don't even look real.. This product seems less intrusive, very easy to apply super simple. Jake, But I also think that in reality, it's just gon na make a big ol' powdery mess.. Unfortunately, I don't think that you and I are the best subjects for this experiment.. Ok, Medha. After searching, we have found our volunteer. Medha Who's. It gon na be Jake. It'S INSIDER's own Senior Producer, Matt, Stuart., Medha, Yay, Jake Matt, come on down. Medha Join me: Matt OK., Medha, All right. Matt. Are you excited Matt? I am yeah. Medha. Are you a little bit nervous Matt? I am a little nervous, yeah. Medha, So Matt we sent a picture of your face and your head to the company and they gave us three different colors to try out. Matt OK. Medha, The one that they decided for you was the dark, brown. Matt, OK., Medha And what do you think about this color Matt? I think it might be a little too dark for my hair. Medha OK. Matt, When it was there. It was a little lighter. Like this part, was always a little darker than the rest of it. Medha Yeah. Matt. I thought I would be more of a medium or even the light. Brown. I'd say: go with the medium and like split the difference., Medha, Perfect, all right., So we're gon na try the medium brown on Matt's head to see. If we can mimic a full head of hair., It says `` hold bottle at a 45-degree angle, 2 to 3 inches from your scalp and shake liberally over thinning areas. Enjoy your day with confidence. !'' LOL.'' Use warm water and shampoo to remove Gofybr after use.'' Cool.. All right, so what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na take away this mirror, because I want you to be surprised at the end. So don't worry, OK, Actually, maybe be a little worried.. So I think, what's gon na happen is we're gon na have to just kind of like make the hair that you already have and just like, enhance it. A tiny bit., Matt, Sure., Medha Cool, Matt, Cool. Medha All right, we're gon na start from the back and go forward because the forward is the harder part.. So if I add a little extra to the back, it's gon na be fine, Matt, OK., Medha OK. Forty-five, which direction. Ah, OK, that's fine! Guys.! It'S fine., I'm just gon na tap. Tap tap tap., I feel like medium brown is too dark for you.. It literally looks like a birthmark right, now., It's fine., So I'm gon na liberally apply it now to the middle part of your head., Hey Matt, looking good And as we are nearing the hairline, I'm a little bit nervous because I'm no expert on the male hairline And I feel like Jake would definitely do a better job at this than me. Jake Matt. You ready for me Matt, I'm ready. Jake, All right, I'm already noticing it looks like Medha missed a couple of spots.. I'M gon na touch that up.. Let me go in.! Oh, this is, I feel, like I'm, making a Matt roast ... for dinner.. Oh that's so funny. I'm gon na pat it in. Get to know your coworkers really well. Tap it in. Tap it in.. What a weird thing to do at work.. How are we looking? It looks pretty good, I'm honestly, pretty surprised by this.. This is impressive., So we're gon na give you some a little bit of highlight here. With this light brown to kind of make a gradient make it look really good.. I kind of feel like I'm Jonathan Van Ness and just like guiding you through this.. It'S kind of a dream come true. Jonathan. Can you believe Jake? So I think you know we're gon na go .... It looks like your hairline's about here., So actually Matt. If you can, will you hold that like right here, Matt Sure., Jake, Perfect, all right.? Let me just tap. All right. Let'S fill that in.! Oh yeah, oh yeah., Oh yeah, that's good! Stuff. Got ta, be kind of careful or I might accidentally give you like a beard on your forehead.. Oh excuse me, I'm gon na spin you a little bit this way.. Ah there we go. Let'S get that side. Angle. We're gon na finish up right, ... yeah, because you are lopsided right now., Which means it's working. I didn't even notice. So. ♪ do do do do ♪. Ok, that might be a little bit too much.. Let'S clean that up a little bit., All right Matt. I think I have done my due diligence.. Let'S have Medha come in finish it up and then we'll get ready for the grand reveal. Medha Jake did a horrible job at your hairline.. There are so many spots that are on your face right now that shouldn't have hair or powder on it., So I'm gon na clean it up.. Ok, I'm gon na have you rotate a tiny, bit., Matt OK. Medha, Also there's so much powder on this, because Jake decided to do a Salt Bae.. So we have the fiber spray.. It says `` After applying Gofybr hold bottle 6 to 8 inches from hair and use two short sprays when necessary to lock fibers in place.''. Ah, Did you feel that Matt I did feel that. Medha? Of course you felt that. All right. Are you ready, Matt Matt? I'M ready. Medha Go ahead: Matt, Oh ..., Medha. What Matt It looks like AstroTurf., Man., Mm., Dislike. Medha, Oh really, Matt, Yeah. Medha. I thought it was a great like I thought I did a good job. Matt, Really Medha Yeah. Matt! No, I don't think it looks like hair Medha, OK yes.. Maybe when you look up, close. Definitely looks ... different., But I feel like you're analyzing, so closely. I feel like this is definitely better than toupee. Matt. Yes, OK. Medha, OK., Matt I'll, give it that better than a toupee. So like on the hair-replacement scale, it's better than a toupee, probably better than Joe Biden's hair plugs, but not better than Elon Musk's.. So from far away like it looks kind of normal and like you can't really tell., But up close, it looks like peat moss. Medha, I'm gon na try to spray your hair with water to see if it's actually water-resistant. Matt Yeah. I don't want to get caught in the rain and have it streaking down my face. Medha Yeah. That would be really awkward and kind of gloopy and disgusting. Yeah. We don't want that. Matt No. Medha. Are you ready Matt, I'm ready. Medha Yeah? Let'S take off your glasses. Ooh, Oh my God, this is so much fun.. Did you ever play like water guns as a kid Matt Yes. Medha, I'm sorry.! This thing is not water-resistant because look at over here. There is a bald spot. Jake. So we're here to test the wind resistance, and in order to do that, I have a tool wind in a stick. We're just gon na act like you're out., Just out on a walk, maybe you're in Central Park and a gust of wind comes and we're gon Na see how your new hair holds up. Yes., I don't see that hair going anywhere. That is locked and loaded.. Look at that., Oh work, it nice Storm clouds have moved in.. The wind is picking up., There's a big gust of wind coming.. You better take cover, But first protect your hair, Oh yeah., That hair is not moving.. I think it's time to give the internet what they came. For., How about some fun glamour? Shots of you working your new'do Matt, All right. Medha, So I feel like Gofybr, could have done a better job in terms of ensuring that this product was water-resistant.. I feel like when we did use a spray bottle. It didn't hold up to it. Jake My advice for you guys ... Grab some Gofybr and go to Joshua Tree. Go to the desert.. I think that Gofybr is a great product if all of the people in your life have a slight astigmatism and maybe can't focus in on it very well. Medha. I think that if you were someone who wanted to apply it yourself, it might end up looking better, because you know your hair and know how much you want to apply. And I think that's something that we kind of came across as a difficulty. Jake. This is maybe a touch-up product, but this is not a hair replacement by any means'cause. That was not thick, not luscious.. It was ... adequate.. Was this invention, a total disaster Medha Or a huge success, Jake Or somewhere in between Medha? Let us know in the comments
Comments
Perry Sy: I think this product is made for thinning SPOTS. Not totally bald heads.
David: As others have pointed out, these products are usually not taken seriously because of the misunderstanding that these hair fibres are designed to “paint” the scalp underneath the hair for overall dark coverage, but this is not how it is used. The fibres need to stick onto existing pieces of hair and thus thickens each strand, making your hair literally thicker to everyone else who sees it. If you apply a normal (light) coat over thin parts of hair, it will be impossible to tell. Lightly applying hair spray will keep all the fibres in and allow you to touch the hair without getting dust on your fingers. Trust me, I laughed at these products for years until a friend raved about them and now I permanently present as having a full head of hair, which I style daily without any issues. I thought they were garbage, but trust me, they are absolute lifesavers to any balding men.
Mark H 1988: I use this myself and it most definitely works.. just not on a totally bald head there has to be some fine hair there at least, or combed over hair that can be thickened up to cover the balding. It is a fantastic product
Dr. Doom: I do wish the hosts had taken this a little more seriously. I think in the right hands, without all the clowning around, this would have looked much better.
Tom: I haven't tried it but I assume the best result would probably be on a bit longer hair than Matt had in this video, cause it then has some hair to stick on and make it appear thicker. Otherwise it drops more onto the scalp than hair so it looks dusty and doesn't look natural. And about water resistance...I usually use an umbrella or any head cover if it's raining :P
Ethan Gertjegerdes: Let’s clap for this man. Why because he has the courage to show his bald head on the interwebs
josh day: I honestly don't think it looked that bad considering his hair was clearly a dark brown and you covered his head in Light brown, lol
Jacob Carlson: This stuff works SO MUCH better than what they demonstrated here. They made a huge mistake going with the "highlights" lol And also, when using hair fibers, you need to go with a person's existing hairline. You can't try to create a totally new one.
Ken Daniel Murphy: Also looks decent on camera. Perfect for film and video.
Ross Brown: This is actually kind of hilarious! Nicely done
PO78: I think it would work very well if you have pretty good coverage still but some bald spots! Definitely useful for some
Lyn Nguyen: It does cover the hair. I use it whenever I go to an event. I'm 24 years old, girl. My hair is thinning badly. It really does work. But I don't use this brand that is shown in the video. I use a different brand.
Kevin: I’m thin around my whorl, I definitely wanna give this a try someday. It looks good to me on the back shot
zeroknight55: Looked good on the thinning spots. On the nearly bald front, of course it looked terrible.
James Walker: As someone who has used hair fibres for quite a few years - Matt really wasn't a great test subject. The fibres need actual hair to cling to, which bulk it out and make it look thicker and fuller. It's not designed for people who are bald or nearly bald like Matt. The product itself is great, and when used correctly and on thinning hair the benefits are really good. Nothing wrong with being bald either - it's just that this isn't the product to use in that situation.
Shawn Fahoum: Gofybr does actually work for thinning spots and tiny patches, but not for people that are actually balding like this dude
Shumon Kumar Karmaker: HairBoss is like a miracle hair product for people with thin hair
Merrilyn Apicelli: I think the cover should be a brush. Toss the product upside down to wear it gets on the brush and then you could apply it that way. What do think?
Jennyoy: If you want the answer for your questions, simply go ask the volunteer if he will take this product and apply it on his head every day. He will give you a verdict.
Bullet Fire: Shouldn't you test wind first then water??
Dayum boy Dayum: When people do these fibre reviews, why don’t they actually try to apply it in it a natural way to make it looks it’s best? Pointless making a joke out of it and not a proper review in my opinion
Buggy: Hair Boss is awesome at concealing bald spots and it doesn't get all over the place like Toppik and Caboki
Big Brad: Actually "toupee's" are usually called hair systems these days, and some of them look VERY real...
Taylor Nielsen: “Does it really work?” *Gets two of the absolute worst people I’ve seen apply the stuff to apply it*
Anuka: I need this when my wig is snatched
David: As others have pointed out, these products are usually not taken seriously because of the misunderstanding that these hair fibres are designed to “paint” the scalp underneath the hair for overall dark coverage, but this is not how it is used. The fibres need to stick onto existing pieces of hair and thus thickens each strand, making your hair literally thicker to everyone else who sees it. If you apply a normal (light) coat over thin parts of hair, it will be impossible to tell.

I thought they were garbage, but trust me, they are absolute lifesavers to any balding men.
UmmZubair HomeEd: My brother uses this product and i don't think the video did it justice...funny video though!
Žydrūnas Gira: Matt should shave his head and change his glasses style. He'd look like a new person.
stormking989: It's better to just get a more permanent solution.
Submission MMA: Very good product! I’ve use it myself. This video dose not do it justice!!
Chicken Tiger Foot: It looks like finely grounded coffee
Ever Heart: You should watch videos of barbers doing it you will notice the difference
Rob Liano: You can't test this on a bald dude, that's putting powder on skin with nothing for the fibers to attach to. That's why the back looked amazing compared to the front. And why use two colors? That just looked silly.
ItzyeboiDynamo: 1955:In the future we will have flying cars 2019:Thinning hair product
Rachel Faivish: 5:33, The way she said that made me die of laughter
Zerinna Mila: Hair Boss is really good. It worked better than Toppik for me
NMeyers: "45 degree angle" Proceeds to not use at 45 degree angle
JSVD: Need one for my brows
R2F: Looks perfect for black hair texture
DaniH: I know, Matt can shave the hair from his neck and then sprinkle it on the rest of his head. All fixed.
Daniel Sambar: So does this work for... all hair?
Bloopy: He needs a low density hair transplant with finasteride if he wants to make the most of the fibers
The sad Hotdog M: They should do a video on those as seen on TV ads
Gareth Sinclair: A really irritating couple who chose a practically bald guy
Mega-lo Mart: Brevity is the soul of YouTube, insider.
Stevo Carter: So it gives you black people hair texture. Great because it should fill in mines perfectly.
Dom Wings: He definitely need a darker color like the company recommended
andyantonioap: The presenters are not taking this seriously enough. I wouldn't buy this product after their clowning around.
Scrappy: Lmfao those videos are hilarious. Also the product isn't for a bald head like that. The company knew that.
Muhamadh Hakeem: Have you tried Hair Boss? It's like a hair pomade and hair fiber concealer in one
Mocho BDB: If there were equally amount of women complimenting bald men to men complimenting them, they would have more confidence but more women hate the bald look in men rather than like it. All I've seen is men complimenting them in the comments I rarely see women
Josh gates: Toupee nowadays aren't your grandpa's old toupee. They turned into hair systems and hair units, they are advance and more realistic and breathable. Know the hair game before running your mouth. Who hired you, not even hair experts and talking out your butt.
Gio P: If you don’t know how to use it like a professional than ofc it won’t work the way it should or look
Leeroy Jenkins: i am an asian guy and i was dating a hot chick from the congo. I want to show her a good time so i used this magic solution on my johnson. When we got down to business and did the wild thing she laughed at me and told me to be my self cause i looked like a fool with a picasso johnson. Moral of the story is that this stuff works like a joke.
Inga Ivaskevica: Used this powders , it’s awful ! You can see it on the hair!!! They not hiding your scalpel just maybe from distance 3 m , better to stay naturally bald
ScarlettP: 0:09 It looks like he's shaking pepper on his head
Jimmy Bacas: Imagine going out with a guy for a few dates then finding out you're dating Mauricio from Shallow Hal
K.an.ne.s: I got an add for a baldness filler thing just like this before the video
ChocoMacaronz: I was born with a bald spot on my eyebrow, I'm not even kidding.
XxSweetangelxX :3: Can they make another product for making hair longer I don’t wanna use weave
The sad Hotdog M: I think my mom should use that
Damienp39: i would just go bald instead of wearing this stuff
aarounge: It's not MEDA , it's "Mae"-"dha" - in Sanskrit for intelligence
Eddiee Ayy: (Water resistant) NOT water proof no shit it was going to come off with the water bottle you’re soaking it not drizzling
Chris Emanuel: welcome to another episode of... "why is this in my recommended"
Emman James: I feel like Matt is not having it
Pavela Parvez: Its looks like he had so much dust in hair it doesn’t look like real hair
Gold Saint Virgo: I'm sorry but Matts looks too bald for use this kind of product, it works for me though, I am not that bald, but I think it's made for covering the tinny hairline, not for total bald.
