Concealer

[ErikEverhard]

Thx for sharing drybone, your posts are very informative. I see there are a lot of different places to buy them online, has anyone experience with buying online?

I have used www.inhousepharmacy.biz for a few years now, and have never had any complaints. You can get 30 pills of Fincar 5 mg each for $27 USD. Just split the pills up to equal out to 1 mg. Only thing with www.inhousepharmacy.biz is that you have to sign for it when it comes.

Tracy or anyone else, do you got any good websites that sell generic brand propecia for a good price?

Sorry no. I do not use Finasteride and I do not get the med that I do use from the internet grey market. I get my med legitimately.

Back to concealers. I need to find which one would suit me more. I'd like to wear it when I'm at the club so the club lights revealing concealers is a serious worry of mine.

Id like to use it for my forelock thinning mostly so dermmatch seems like a slightly better option since it's better for the hairline apprently.


How about exercise?

Thx for the link Erik that sounds like a great plan, have you noticed any results personally with taking it?

I exercise every night be it running 3 miles outside or biking 10 miles on an indoor cycle bike I have in the basement. From my short time using Dermmatch it looks identical after exercise as it did before I started and lately cause of the weather changing from winter to spring my body works extra hard so I look like Iv been in a sauna for a few hours after Im done but the dermmatch looks perfectly normal.

If your hair loss isnt much worse the medium hair loss per sue you can take somed tissue paper after application Iv noticed and rub it through your hair after your done applying it and it will eventually stop rubbing off your hair so it wont come off so easy if someone is got there mits on your head, but if you dont take tissue paper to it it will come off on your hands when you run your hand through it.

Also like Iv mentioned before applying it wet seems to work best for me as it doesnt give me that tugging feel when applying it, then I just wet my hand and blend it in with a finger after applying it with the applicator cause the applicator puts it on real dark. Then I take a blow dryer to it, I have a button on my where it will just shoot out cool air, I use that and all the wet dermmatch blends right in after a minute or so. this works best for me, you have to be carefull when applying it also like I said it tugs on your hair, if you have been working on rebuilding your hair for so many years with products the hair that is gorwn in is extra brittle and can be taken out easy just rubbing something through your hair to much can do it, but after a few times using dermmatch I figured out how to put it in correctly and I havent noticed any more hair rubbing out and onto the applicator.

Yeah I had a lot of success using it, in that I maintained. I am not sure how much growth I had but maintaining what I had it worked really well. However, money became really tight and I had to stop using it, and I have lost a great deal since.

I will try and start a thread and show you guys what my hair looks like when I am using Caboki, and get your thoughts.

Dermmatch holds up to heavy sweating from exercise and romance. You can even swim with Dermmatch. You cannot do any of that with any fiber based concealers.

Dermmatch is completely undetectable in my hair. I am very open about my hair loss. When I tell people I am wearing makeup in my hair nobody believes me.

Hey Erik.

I have tried toppik , dermmatch, and now I have Caboki.

I have thinning hair on top. So I want to cover up my scalp which is noticeable under direct bright light.

Toppik felt like metal shavings. And it would just fall to my scalp unless i used hairspray . If I went through the hassle to shake it out right , and not too close to my hairline and sprayed it, it was ok.

Dermmatch is excellent . Tracy is right. It really is make up for your hair. It colors your scalp and thickens each strand of hair. A disc lasts a long time.

So then I got Caboki . Its like Toppik but you dont need hairspray. It doesnt fall to your scalp and feels like hair. Not metal shavings.

So now I use Dermmatch then shake on a little caboki and I am all set. Except for my hairline that is. Waiting for my HT to finally grow in.

Hope this helps

Was just curious on how you guys apply Dermatch. Everyday I just wet my hair, dry it, style it, and than I apply Caboki. How would I apply Dermatch this way? It seems that you need your hair dry before you apply it.

...It seems that you need your hair dry before you apply it.

I apply it while my hair is still damp but not wet. I also only apply it every other day. I just "touch it up" on the days that I am not applying it fresh. I do not use any fiber based concealer. I only use Dermmatch. In my humble opinion, Dermmatch works so well that it makes the fiber based concealers rather pointless.

I didn't have to sign for mine. The website prompted me as to whether or not I wanted to have to sign when it arrived. I'm never home 8am-6pm and I live in the top of a building, so it would a major inconvenience to mess with signing. They just left mine in our community packaged room (secured with locks and cameras).

Just wanted to make it known that you don't have to sign.

I live in the upper-midwest US, and it was 11 business days that it took to get here.

inhouse is the jam.

Does dermmatch not work well on very short buzz cut hair? When I tried it previously when my hair was very short, it just looked like i had paint on my scalp.

You have to take into account it is after all a concealer that is mass produced, its not going to fit everyone as if it was made just for them. It depends on how short your talking, in my pictures you can see the top part is left about 3/4 inch or so, and it seems to blend in nicely from what Iv seen. Yes in certain light it is going to be more noticeable then others but thats just the way it is.

Iv only used it for about 5 days, Iv went 3 days without using it now since I got it and in my short experience like I mentioned previously I apply it wet with the applicators, lather it up then Ill take a few fingers and wet them and rub it in massaging the product around which evens it out real nice. Then just take a blow dryer and use the air flow without heat since heat can make your hair brittle and damage it. After that just take a comb and style it the way u want. This prevents tugging on your hair and also makes it look better I think then applying it dry.

If you think of it as just a cosmetic corrective makeup its not so hard to justify for me putting something on my head, afterall thats basically what it is. The hair fibers before I had goton dermmatch I had planned on using Xfusion but I think thats just going a bit to far for me. Thats adding something thats not there to begin with, not just applying a cosmetic.

Also in terms of outlook, I think its easier to use dermmatch in a fun way then a serious way. If you think ur going to go out using a concealer thinking ur a teenybopper again cause you put some power in your hair your going to be in for a rude awakening. Have fun with making your self look different with different products, if you use this stuff and it seems like a big pain in the ass every day to apply ur using it to much or you got your mind twisted.

Does dermmatch not work well on very short buzz cut hair?

Dermmatch works by doing two things. 1) You are painting it onto thinner hairs to make them look thicker than they really are. 2) You are also coloring your scalp to reduce the contrast between your hair and your scalp. So it makes sense that Dermmatch would not work as well for a person with a buzz cut as it does for a person with longer hair.

A lot of the time buzz cuts dont go all the way down to the scalp on top of the head in the cortex and frontal regions. You have to define what short is length wise before making any type of conclusion weather dermmatch works for short hair or not. I think if you get the color right I dont see why dermmatch wouldnt work just as well with a buzz cut, all you would be doing basically is taking the shine off the head. Theres an example on the net of someone using dermmatch with an almost compleatly bald head, if you click on the show images a few times you wil see what im talking about here, http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0PDoKuUIjV.

At 1 inch dermmatch , toppik and kaboki worked on my hair. I am a norwood 3 A pattern so I have diffuse in the front and thick on crown back and sides.

But you wont get the density at 1 inch that Tracy is talking about. With her long hair she does much better.

I think to each his /her own its hard to make on size fit all. I found that dermmatch is great but I needed to bulk up density more with 1 inch hair so I use Kaboki as well.

Hope this helps
