Regular Member WheredItGo2 Posted July 24, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hey all I noticed a post from user dhuge67 and he had some pretty amazing results with this product. He applies Dermmatch dry, he also does a very good job at making it look natural on his shaved head. I myself have a shaved head and I'm thinking about trying this. I could be wrong but he never mentions if Dermmatch stayed on dry, through wind, rain etc... Also if a girl were to run her hands over my shaved head, because some girls like the feeling of shaved hair, would it come off onto her hands dry? Anyone know about this?

Senior Member MyNameIsRich Posted July 26, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm also curious to this. I just ordered some to conceal the sides of my hair as it's abnormally thin there, has been since birth Click to check my hair blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 27, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2011 Good question. Applying dermmatch without dampening the applicator brush? That's interesting. I always (1) wet the applicator first (2) apply the dermmatch and comb it through (3) let it air dry (4) and comb it through again. For me it's much easier to apply that way. However, if applying it dry works best for you and you like the look then I see no problem with that. Wind won't affect dermmatch but might mess up your hair if it's long enough. Rain won't affect dermmatch unless you are hanging outside during a torrential down pour. Running hands through it could get some of the color on the hands - but I always say that it's a hair paste/gel product. This excuse might not fly if you shave your head though. It really depends how long you keep it. I would give it a try and see for yourself because my hair is different than yours. I trailed and errored a lot of concealers before I settled on a routine.

Regular Member munchkinman Posted August 19, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hi, I was in the same boat as you. I shaved my head down to a 5mm buzz and hated it, as my hair is really thick so it is obvious that my hairline is receding, as the difference in hair thickness was so noticeable, despite there being some 'peach fuzz' hair there. I ordered dermmatch and applied it dry for a while. I scratched the surface with the handle of the applicator and then applied the powder I dislodged. It looked ok, but really did not stay on very well, just running your hands through your hair removed it. I now wet the applicator as little as possible, literally turn my tap on and off and then catch a singular drop of water on the applicator, then rub on the dermmatch until it looks dry, and then apply to my temples. This works very well, the dermmatch thickens up my temples so I go from NW2 to a NW1, so it is barely noticeable that I am balding. Although I feel that you have hair shorter than the 5mm buzz I do, applying dermmatch will simply look like painting your scalp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
