    When everest13 stated that it just looked like he had painted his head, it's pretty clear that he had his hair pretty darn short at the time. Just sayin'

      There are a lot of different types of haircuts that can be defined as just short. IV had my hair cut "short" all my life but it still can be completely different from one person to another trying to describe there hair.

      Regardless I think Dermmatch if you get your color down will take shine away from the bald part like it says it does and that will help even the most shorted of hair cuts. Its really a crack shot though for anyone weather they are going to actually accept and like the results.

      I would recommend for people not wanting to waste there hard earned money to do there due diligence in figuring out if its something they want to do or not, weather its worth it to them and if they can figure out weather its actually going to work enough for them to warrant them buying it. Even if you have very short hair, you still can put it on lightly and it will be undetectable you just don't put very much on.

        I've some Toppik in the post, i didn't choose it over any other concealer, it kinda chose me if you get my meaning, it kinda happened and it's been along time coming.

        I'm actually very nervous about using it, will i become dependant on it, look awful or whatever, we'll see...

        After trying Toppik atleast i can join in concealer debates with more credit.

          Hey Tracy. I read you use minoxidil, so if I understand you correctly, do you wear dermmatch permanently and still apply minoxidil? I read from other users that I should wait an hour for minoxidil absorption before applying dermmatch, and that's quite the time expenditure.

            I wash my hair every other evening and apply fresh Dermmatch the following morning, after I apply Rogaine foam. I only use Rogaine foam every other morning - but I use generic liquid Minoxidil every evening. So what that means is every other evening I am applying liquid Minoxidil on my scalp while I still have Dermmatch in my hair. It does not seem to be a problem because at least once a day every day I am applying Minoxidil on my clean scalp.

            You might need to try your hand at women's logic to follow that. Hahaha

                So, i got my Toppik, tried it and think it quite literally is amazing stuff!

                I got use to sprinkling the magic dust on my thinning scalp within minutes and apply it each morning in seconds, have done for the last 2weeks.

                Only problem is, i almost forget i'm a diffuse thinner and in the long run i will start to look ridiculous but hey, we'll see, hopefully Propecia/Fin will hold onto what i have left, has done uptil now.

                  Dermmatch would likely work much better for you than any sprinkle on fiber based concealer.

                  I understand hair length might play a role in how well one concealer works from one person to the other - but still...

                    Thanks buddy, but sprinkling on Toppik with ease, i can't see how a little brush-on would work better/quicker for me, but hey we're in the hairloss game, so we're open to any hairloss suggestions whatever it may be.

                      Well, it certainly isn't quicker but is absolutely better in every other aspect. It looks more natural and holds up better than any sprinkle on concealer ever could.

                        I noticed Propecia is almost 3.50 on inhouse.biz, that seems expensive. What is the normal rate for propecia if you get it through a Dr? Also Iv been taking finscar, the pills I cut up into 4 slices seem so small. Is there any way to tell the difference from prescription drugs compared to places like inhouse if you get what Im asking?
                        Thx for all the feedback also its been a pleasure to gather information from this website.

                          If you are worried that the finscar is fake, IMO it is 100 % real. I used it for years and my hair loss stopped or slowed down a great deal. As far as how much a doctor charges I could be wrong but I could has sworn I read somewhere that generic propecia was like seven dollar. I could be completely wrong though.
