Toppik Hair Fibers Spray Applicator

I really like this applicator now that I have a handle on how to use it. At first I found myself feeling it was hopelessly clogged and had to be routinely replaced. However, I've learned a few things over time and through trial & error. 1) Use the smallest size Toppik container. Even though this sprayer will work with either 12 g or 27.5 g container size, it doesn't work well when the product is too low in the container - that is, when the top of the product is more than an inch from the top of the container. For this reason, I suggest strongly that you use it on the 12 g container. I buy the 27.5 g container, and I use that to refill the 12 g container. This applicator works like a suction and it won't be able to suck up the fibers if they are too far from the top. Keep it more than half full and shake while using to keep things flowing. 2) Can the applicator clog? Sure it can - but in my experience this isn't what's keeping it from working. However, if you're unsure then remove the applicator from the product container and immerse it in water and see if you are able to pump water through it. If so, then the water either resolved the clog or there was never a clog and you're probably experiencing a problem with the product being too low in the container. After you wet it, pump out all the water and put the applicator aside to allow it to dry before you attempt to use it. The spray applicator shouldn't be used while it's wet because then it will definitely clog. 3) Sometimes you just have to use the original product as a shaker. The spray applicator isn't the best to use for every situation, so your overall results will be best if you keep a shaker cap on hand so you have this option open.
