Toppik vs Caboki:

Which Hair Fiber Is Right for You?

Both make thinning hair look fuller in seconds. The difference is what they're made of — animal fur derivative vs plant-based fiber — and how that feels on your scalp every day.

The Differences

Toppik and Caboki work the same basic way — fine fibers cling to your existing hair to make thinning areas look fuller, then wash out with shampoo. Both cover thin hair instantly. The real decision comes down to what they're made of.

Where Toppik is strong

Toppik is a well-established brand you can find in many retail stores. If buying off the shelf are your priorities, Toppik delivers. The trade-offs are that keratin is animal-derived (not vegan), it's colored with water-soluble dyes therefor its color may turn green and run down your face if you sweat, and it offers the fewer shades of the two.

Caboki: Colorfast, gentle to scalp

Caboki takes a scalp-friendly approach, using plant-based fibers colored with mineral pigments—without nylon fibers or a long list of additives. Because the color comes from mineral pigments rather than water-soluble dyes, it stays true and helps avoid the unwanted “green tint” some hair fibers can develop when exposed to sweat or moisture. With a clean, minimalist formula designed with daily use and sensitive scalps in mind, Caboki is an excellent choice if you want natural-looking, plant-based hair fibers that are gentle enough to wear every day. Caboki has been trusted since 2011.

Which should you choose?

• Choose Toppik if buying in retail stores matter most to you.
• Choose Caboki if you want a plant-based hair fiber with clean ingredients, colorfast mineral-pigment color that won't run green, and a gentler option for daily wear — in a wider shade range.
