Dermmatch tips please...I looked like I tipped a dust bag on my head :o(

[Jack21]

Toppik was for me the best thing ever. You need to use a hairspray that provides luster or sheen or shine or whatever the word is. I wore the stuff for years and it really was a miracle...for me anyway. The hairspray is definitely the key to taking away the "chalky" look. Actually, now that I think back spray gel worked quite well also. It just makes it look like you have a bunch of gel in your hair which has the added "benefit" of people not touching your head bc they figure you have gel in your hair and you don't want people messing with it. It was a miracle for me for about 8 years. Finally I became too thin on top to use it anymore.

Good luck to you. It will work out.

This is my first post here.

I have spent days and days researching tips to help me but in the end all of the information was starting to blow my mind so I hope that you don't mind me asking here:

I bought some dermmatch recently and was very excited as although my hair looks quite thick you can see through the hair and can see the shape of my scalp, especially in sunlight.

The results from using Dermmatch were very disappointing.

My hair looked VERY chalky and it looked like I had tipped the contents of a dustbag over my head.

I tried again with a less amount but it still looked dreadful and was very noticeable.

However, lots of other people swear by it. What am I doing wrong?

Is it really that good?

I bought it from a seller off ebay so will not be able to get my money back and it was quite expensive (£30).

I really would value some of your tips please as I would LOVE for this to work.

Thank you very much

PS. I also bought some toppik but haven't used it yet.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

When you were talking about the spray gel is that for Toppik or for Dermmatch?

I haven't had the chance to try my Toppik yet as I did not realise I needed a hairspray to keep it in place.

Thanks again
