Am I the only person here who thinks that ProTHIK is the best concealer out there?

It's definitely the easiest to use. And I think it looks better than Toppik.

But after reading all of the DermMatch props on this board, I'm going to pull it out of my closet and give it another try.

I just started using prothik on my crown area...I have not had any work done there yet so it is a little thin...Prothik works Great! It does take a little practice to spray it on just right but when you master that the results are great!

I always preferred Dermatch. It seemed to look the most natural and withstood the daily activities the best. the sprays always came off the most easily.

ProTHIK can rub off a little. Is that also a concern with Dermatch?

I have tried the sprays such as Fullmore,and though it looks pretty good,It rubs off easily in my hands.Dermatch and just some little sprinkles with topiks are the way to go.Dermatch for me is awesome.Once the Dermatch dries,it is there until you use soap/shampoo to remove it.I spray a little bit of gel to hold everything in place and to give it a shine.But as with most if not all consealers you need existing hair to get a natural looking appearance.

Indeed

Dermatch is the best concealer regarding withstanding ruboff. It also lasts the longest per disc

There's tons of threads on derm if you want to search them. Derm can rub off............I don't use it anymore but when I did, I found the trick was to use a dry or damp towell to lightly rub the excess out after it was dry..............then I styled with gel, mousse.........whatever I wanted and it didn't come out. Plus, it seemed to help take out the chalky look that sometimes came with Derm.

Hope this helps,
