Internet users have been left with hope for their thinning hair after a viral hack has shown an easy way to guarantee your hairline looks full.

Shared by Leonie Talita, the hack has left almost 800,000 viewers amazed by her clever use of a beauty product that may already be in your bathroom. The makeup artist, based in Zurich, Switzerland, was in need of a product to help fill in her baby hairs when she realized the answer was already a part of her routine; her eyebrow tint.

In the viral video, posted to her account @leonietalita, the poster was seen mixing and applying the tint to her hairline, as the on-screen text read: "Not me, who uses eye brow dye to dye the baby hair darker so that the hairline looks fuller."

Brow tints provide a semi-permanent way too fill in your brows, and now your hairline too, darkening the hair it touches. From henna to hybrid dyes, there is now a multitude of formula options available dependent on personal preference, with some even staining the skin for a more controlled and deeper result.

Adding the dye and activator into a small pot, Talita mixed thoroughly before using a spoolie to comb through her baby hairs. After leaving the product to work its magic, you can then wipe away the tint to reveal a full, thick hairline.

While it is not uncommon for hair around the front of your hairline to be thinner and more sparse, a number of things can trigger excessive hair loss and thinning, including alopecia, pregnancy, menopause, and stress.

What Do the Comments Say?

Viewers of the video were clearly impressed by Talita's clever idea, leaving almost 30,000 likes as well as floods of comments thanking her for sharing the hair hack.

"I think you're onto something," wrote one. "My baby hairs are so fair and I look like I'm balding."

"Ugh u beautiful genius, I need to do this," added a second. "Sick of my blonde baby hairs."

"I do the same thing," posted a third user. "Everyone's doing that blonde hairline and I'm over here dying mine so I don't look bald."

For those not ready to risk it with dyes and tints, one user offered a commitment-free alternative: "I'm using (brown) eye shadow on each side of the middle part to make it look fuller."

"This unlocked the memory of how I used to apply brown eye shadow to the front of my scalp," read another comment. "It wasn't even necessary but it worked well!"
