Hi,
I am brand new to this site, however, not new with dealing with hair loss. I have - like most of us- a very long, sometimes extremely painful history with this topic. However, this post I am wondering if any one of the readers can share the best hair concealer they use or have used.
I am currently using a product called Derm Match. Although it is very, very helpful and can make a significant difference in the appearance of my hair it does have a couple of draw backs. One, is that it ends up on my pillows and at times clothing. I have used it for about 7 or 8 years and would like to know if anyone has found anything better!
My hair loss pattern: I have had a hair transplant so I need to do a good job in the front of covering so the transplants are not detectable and I also have scaring in the back of my head.Overall, I would need a product that is designed for moderate to severe hair loss. As stated, the derm match helps and currently i am trying to stayed focus on products because i am not in a situation to be able to have any more surgery at this time for many reasons.

I can share more later about my situation but right now am trying to see if any of u folks have any insight on their best hair concealer.Any questions, so u can potentially recommend something please ask.
Thanks you

Dermatch is the best.

All conccealers will run a little on your pillow. Try brushing your hair well after you apply it then apply some hairspray. That should help a bit.

Dermmatch is good, but Nanogen is worth a try also imo, they also work well together...

I've tried the big 3! Dermatch, toppik, and nanogen and would have to say it depends on how long your hair is. Dermatch for short hair though it looks a little chalky and Nanogen for longer hair. The only thing I find wrong with nanogen is that it doesnt bond well to short hair. Toppik is also a little chalky.

Ahahaha, same thing word for word....it's an ad for the worthless shampoo

No matter which you use, in certain lights you can see it.

I use of combo of dermmatch and toppik. It works like a charm. However, like others have already noted, it can appear very chalky at times and certain lights. I always wash them out at night before I go to bed, so I don't have the pillow problem. Concealers don't look great but there are better than the alternative.

Personally I prefer Toppik, don't care much for the paint on types.

Thanks for the information on the other two. Yes dermatch is a bit chalkey for certain.

I have basically become a toppik whore

I use dermatch on my donor area (buzzed down to a #3) to conceal my scar.
