I have very thin, fine hair, and I feel much more comfortable with a little cosmetic help to create the illusion of density near my part and in my hairline. This was the first time that I have used a crayon-style scalp concealer, and I am reasonably satisfied. It wouldn't be my first choice for disguising large areas or very very thin hair, but for touchups on the go, it would be hard to beat this. I did find that I had to carefully blend the areas that I concealed with the sponge to make it look as natural as possible. Good to keep in a purse, though!
