Okay, so it's not a miracle, but it's pretty damn good for only having to get up 10 minutes earlier to commit to putting it on...

Let me know what you all think.

It looks a bit better this way, is not noticeable that there is a "scalp dye" even upon close inspection. I use a very, very small amount of DM and put it over an area, then use my finger to rid of the excess. It takes about 10 minutes and leaves me with more of a "high and tight" look than a diffuse thinning-look. The hairline is still a little off, obviously, but it's less glaring this way (from what i can see).

PS - I have a girlfriend as of today. Things are looking up! She hasn't really noticed or mentioned my hair. I've worn a hat a lot around her, and take it off occasionally to let her become more aware of my hair, but she hasn't said a word and I won't until she does. She has not seen the scar to my knowledge or if she has she hasn't said anything. I'm not complaining. If she asks - "I've had it since birth." Until I feel comfortable telling her that I've had an HT, that's what I'll do.





Here it is without DM

Things look pretty good as far as I can tell from the photos. Amazing what a little bit of that concealer stuff is capable of.

Glad to hear about the girlfriend.

I was once asked about the scar from an old girlfriend that had noticed it after I showered and I was terriefied to tell her the truth. When I finally told her she said, "Oh" and continued on doing what she was doing. True story.

how does this dermatch stuff work anyway? I thought it was a "make-up" type concealer thing, but if you can use it on your shaved head without it being visible on your scalp, then maybe Im wrong. What is it exactly?

NN,

the only way any of your girlfriends knew was by seeing the scar? They can't tell (in the recipient area) if their running their fingers through your hair?

Dhuge,

I think Dermatch makes a nice difference for you even with a shaved head. That's great!

ng2gb,

It's a powdery substance that when mixed with water gets applied to the scalp with a swab. It fattens the existing hair follicles temporarily and dyes the scalp to match. It must be applied very carefully in order for it to look natural. I have found that a little goes a long way.

Personally though, I didn't like it and even though I think it looked ok, I just felt fake with it. But that was just me. Many people love it though.

Ng2GB,

At that time the only way she knew about HT was the scar. NO, running hands thru recipient area wouldn't do it.

Dermatch is truly the best!

thank god I have never had any inquiry about my HT or scar. I managed to get 3 without anyone knowing .. The concealer was tough because I would leave a "print" on the pillow whenever I slept at a girls house!!

Mrjb, oh no, here we go again with you and all your ladies...and I STILL have not seen this woman slaying mop yet!

I apply dry dermmatch rather than wet it, otherwise it would look like dyed skin and not more natural.

The way it is now, it just looks like i have a receding hairline, and a kind of odd one at that - but the rest of my hair looks pretty normal/full.

Even upon close inspection it is hard to tell anything is on the scalp.

I've been showering my head before bed, then I apply the dermmatch before I go to sleep and wake up and take a shower without getting water on my head. Usually I can make tiny fixes with the dermmatch then, if anything is even necessary.

Seems to look just a bit better.
