2 min readMICHAEL B. JORDAN looked every bit the winner while accepting the Best Actor Oscar in a custom Chinese-collar Louis Vuitton suit. But one subtle grooming trick leveled up his whole look: Toppik’s Hair Building Fibers, which made his beard appear even thicker.
Celebrity groomer Tasha Reiko Brown crafted the Sinners star’s red-carpet look. While Jordan already has a naturally full beard, “Bright lights can shine through facial hair, so fibers help add depth,” she says. That’s where Toppik’s Hair Building Fibers come in. The powder-based formula contains keratin—the same protein found in hair—and clings to existing strands to make them look denser.
Toppik is already a favorite on the Men’s Health Reviews Team and even won a 2026 Men’s Health Grooming Award for Best Hair Fiber. “It’s one of the most natural-looking ways to conceal thinning hair,” says Grooming Editor Sean Zucker, who has tested it on his own beard. “It makes fine hair look instantly fuller and thicker.”
Of course, you can’t just dump the fibers on and call it a day. Toppik comes in nine shades, and Brown mixed the brand’s Black and Brown formulas to match Jordan’s beard, then used the Spray Applicator to target specific areas for “controlled, natural-looking results.”
To keep the 39-year-old’s facial hair camera-ready throughout the night, Brown finished the look with Toppik’s Fiberhold Spray, which locks everything in place for hours. The best part: you don’t need a Hollywood leading-man paycheck to pull it off. Most Toppik products cost under $40, making it a cost-effective way to make your beard look fuller—whether you’re heading to a company event, a wedding, or just a big night out.
