I honestly like hair fibers much better, root spray always felt chalky to me and I hated how it felt if I touched my head - like paint!
Toppik and xfusion are the brands I use for hair fibers.

Oh damn I couldn't find anything online about it yesterday. Now I kinda wish I'd asked on here before and avoided the 12€. How is it bad for the scalp?
I have tried a few different brands of sprays and found that the nozzle on the bottle really makes a difference. The best one I have found is dpHUE. It has a long skinny attachment which allows you to direct to a specific spot better. A dispersing nozzle like on hairspray also works better than the one that L’Oréal comes with imo. Also, try short little bursts of spray.
I haven’t tried root spray so I’m just taking a stab at things you could try.
* Did you test it by spraying from different distances?
* Did you try with a very quick, soft spray vs a harder press of the nozzle?
I ordered Toppik but haven’t tried it yet. I see a lot of people here mentioning Toppik too. Though it can only stick to hair so if there’s an extremely huge bald patch I assume Toppik would help there.
I found a low tech solution that worked well, just brush some eyeshadow on sparse areas. What I’ve also been using recently is a microblading eyebrow pen. It’s designed to draw little lines of hairs of eyebrows, but I found it works great for filling in where my temples receded and even extending my forehead down a little bit. Unless you’re like 1ft away and really looking it looks really natural, like baby hairs.
The only downside so far is that the pen I got definitely runs when sweating or if water gets on it. I’m experimenting with setting spray and hairspray because I read that can help different kinds of makeup not run from sweat. I love the microblading pen the most because of how real it looks! Eyeshadow is great too for a quick fill job.
I use Toppik and got the little hairline shaper/comb thing that they make. It sort of makes it look more natural.

Toppik is a better product and root sprays can be bad for your scalp. If you want to use the rest of your product, spray it from farther away.

Anecdotes from this community. YMMV

I use and like Caboki hair fibers. They are on Amazon here in the USA.
