This product is a game changer!!
BOLDIFY IS A GAME CHANGER with one caveat: wish there was FDA approval on this product. I'm a female Asian-American in my 30s, so I have always had fine, thin hair. The worst part for me is this: the skin of scalp shows (no matter how much volume I try to put in my hair by styling/blowdrying), and I feel the fine/thinness is getting more prolific throughout the years!! In photos, my head/hair always has a white spot showing the scalp - which you can see from my first posted photo - plus, I'm also a professional musician so on-stage lights really exacerbate this issue. Throughout many, many years, I've asked hairstylists to part my hair differently and create more volume (layers!), but it never fixed the issue of having my scalp show. Having black hair and a really light-toned scalp is THE WORST. How could I possibly look like a professional? In desperation, I started looking up products on Amazon and came across Bolidify. I've been concerned about putting liquids (i.e. sprays, like the old Bumble & Bumble product I tried over a decade ago) on my scalp because I don't want my skin to absorb toxic chemicals* (more on my slight concern about one of the ingredients below.) When I read that Boldify are actually fibers, I decided to give it a shot. This product's goal of making your hair look thicker WORKS!!! The tiny fibers are dispensed through holes similar to a baby powder dispenser, and my method to apply is simply by holding it at an angle and tapping the bottle. Just a bit of advice: When you "pat it down" as the instructions direct, the fibers will rub off on your fingers, so I just apply by tapping, then use my hair spray (it's a Bed Head hard hold hairspray, which probably IS being absorbed by my scalp, but I'm digressing). The look stays throughout the entire day, and I've even fallen asleep with this product in my hair, and it's still passable the next day. If someone were to very closely examine my scalp (as in, look at my scalp from less than a half a foot away), I'm sure they'd see a tiny bit of strangeness, but no one is ever going to be doing that. As you can see from the second photo, it's very passable. My only hesitation in giving it a full-blown 10 out of 10 is the lack of FDA approval and that it's manufactured in China. One of the ingredients listed (fourth out of five) is DMDM Hydantoin - it's a formaldehyde releaser to combat the growth of bacteria in cosmetic products and I wish it listed how much is in there (according to some research, it is not considered unsafe if there is less than 1% of it in a product). I read that the shampoos by Boldify are FDA approved but want to know why this product isn't approved. Would love a response by Boldify on this matter. All being said, using this product has absolutely boosted my confidence. A few weeks ago, I had a major performance with professional photography taken, and the former issues with my scalp showing were non-existent because I used this. This product is indeed a game changer in covering up the scalp and making your hair look fuller. I WISH I had this product throughout the past ten years. Ever since buying this over a month ago, I've used it daily (I'm not sure how much of it I have left, so I can't say how long this bottle will last/hence, the true value for the money). I highly recommend if you're not worried about the FDA approval.
