Which is the best for the temple region? I mean, my hair isn't too bad at the moment.. but at times (and most likely in the near future) it's a bit thin and you can see a bit of my scalp etc. So really I need something that will work for that area. Also, which is the most resistant to water and sweat? And how do you actually apply the stuff for this area? cheers guys.

Dermmatch is your best bet imo for the temple/hairline area.

Dermmatch is good and I know Spencer Kobren recommends it, but I find it a little difficult to use in the hairline. You have to apply it at least 1/4 inch behind your existing hairline to make it look natural so you can’t really thicken the very front. It can also look chalky in certain light.

Toppik
I have used Toppik for years now, and i like it. have never used dermmatch though. until i find a solution for myelf i might get some dermmatch and try that too.
-
Actually went from 35 years old to 48 on Toppik and absolutely noone ever noticed except for my barber. Once the frontal or crown area thins too too much however(which is where I am now in the frontal area) you can no longer get away with using it undetected as it requires a certain amount of hair to be present to attach itself to. Toppiks fiber hold spray is good as well but I never needed it until the last few years.
For anyone just starting to thin, Toppik based on my experience can buy you a few years of added density and volume.

Dermmatch comes as a pad and a brush that you apply to your head and scalp in a painting/applying make-up way.
Nanogen comes as a tub of tiny fibres that you sprinkle over your hair. The fibres cover the thinner spots by attaching to existing hairs which makes your hair look thicker.

I tried nanogen, I think I have way too much baldness for this stuff to look good. Its o.k. if you are just starting to thin, but not Mr. Clean like I am in some spots.

hi there while looking up nano fibers etc i came across the name AIDEN CLARKE HAIRDESIGNIRELAND, I cant believe this scumbag is still in business, i sent almost 300euro to him at his business address in Dundalk over a year ago and never recieved any products or my money back, he blamed every thing from the postman in his area to the earthquake in japan for the hold up. now he is changing his web sight, so dont be fooled he may have a new sight but hes still the same crook.

Nanogen saves my life , so far it is the best concealer I have ever used. I tried Mirage and Super million hair.
By the way, I noticed that when I used Super million hair, the powder could come inside my nostrils, subsequently I guess it could come inside my lungs.
Is that dangereous?

I've used toppik and couvre together for over a decade.. Really a great product as no one knows I'm balding.
I just shower everyday....wet the applicator for the couvre...spread the couvre around....then blow dry the rest of my hair around...take some gel....(lately a very firm spike like gel for holding power in the style I choose..Then I just lightly spread the toppik powder around any areas that might need density..
Worked great for over a decade.. and after I go for the HIS service next week...I'm going to give my left over courve and toppik to a good friend of mine who could use this product..
He says he can't believe it works....and I'm too vain to show him on myself.. so I figured after I have the HIS MHT service...I'll give him the product and apply it for him the first time with his wife watching so she can tell him how good it looks..
Friends for over 20 years... and he can't believe I'm more bald than him.. LOL
Courve and toppik in the manner in which I described works great as long as you have some hair remaining....
Mines thinning so badly..within the year or so I'll be bald to the point the courve and toppik won't work..(which is why after a decade I'm giving up the courve and toppik and going to HIS MHT..)
You might ask how long it takes to put on? Less than 2 minutes each day and it really did the trick.. Good luck deciding..
Hope this helps..
JB
