The crown (or the “vertex”) is one of the most common areas for hair thinning, but it can also be the trickiest to style because you can’t easily see it in the mirror. Many people end up with “spotty” coverage or use too much product in an attempt to hide the scalp.
At Finally Hair®, we want to ensure your transformation looks natural from every angle. Here is the definitive guide to getting perfect, high-volume coverage on the crown of your head.
1. The “Two-Mirror” Setup
To master the crown, you must be able to see what you’re doing.
-
The Technique: Stand with your back to a large bathroom mirror and hold a high-quality hand mirror in front of you. Angle the hand mirror until you have a clear, top-down view of your crown. This eliminates guesswork and prevents over-application.
2. Start with a Clean Foundation
Fibers need something to “grab.” If your scalp is oily or your hair is flat, the fibers may slide or clump.
-
Pro Tip: Use our fhPrep Fiber Prep Solution first. This all-natural spray removes excess oils and coaxes your existing hair to stand more upright. By creating a vertical “lattice,” it gives the hair building fibers more surface area to cling to, resulting in a much thicker look.
3. The “Shake and Pat” Method
For the crown, the Refillable Shaker Bottle is usually the most efficient tool.
-
The Application: Hold the bottle about 2-3 inches above the thinning area. Tilt it at a 45-degree angle and shake gently. Start at the center of the thinning spot and work your way outward in a circular motion.
-
The Blend: This is the most important step! After sprinkling, use your fingertips to gently pat the hair. Do not rub. Patting helps the 100% Vegan fibers settle deep into the hair roots, creating a 3D effect of real density rather than just “painting” the scalp.
4. Manage the “Swirl”
Most people have a natural “swirl” or cowlick at the crown.
-
The Secret: Follow the natural direction of your hair growth. If your hair grows in a clockwise circle, apply and pat the fibers in that same direction. This ensures the fibers look like they are growing out of your scalp.
5. The “Life-Proof” Finish
The crown is highly exposed to wind and rain. To ensure your coverage doesn’t shift throughout the day, you must use Fiber Lock Spray. Our specially formulated holding spray strengthens the static bond between the fibers and your hair, making the application resistant to sweat, wind, and even a mid-day nap.
