Couvre takes away the shine of your head, which makes your hair appear thicker. I am able to use just a little at a time, rub it on with what looks like a makeup sponge, and not have to use Toppik like I used to when I wanted to take away the shine of my scalp. I will buy it again. A little bit goes a long way, so it is economical in the long run. I recommend it!
