Regular Member BlueSteel Posted July 27, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi guys I am going on a bunch of interviews about month 3 post HT... just wondering if I can take dermatch and toppik with a spray applicator on my carry on bag. I'd hate to arrive at an interview without some concealers has anyone had experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Bobilero Posted July 27, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2012 I used to bring Nanaogen with me all the time in carry on luggage on flights. It never showed up on xrays even. Was never asked about it. Didnt use Dermatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cargo65 Posted July 27, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2012 I've put it in my package when I've traveled for years now. I did have concerns like you when I first started doing it though; I was nervous security would think it was gun powder or something. Actually, I always have my wife put it in her bag in case we get stopped and asked what it is. I don't want to tell people that I use it to disguise my thinning.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 27, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2012 Never had a problem with dermmatch or nanogen on the plane. I've had more issues with contact solution to be honest.

Senior Member gillenator Posted July 27, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2012 Even if security is suspicious about the powder appearance, all they have to do is smell the susbstance and know it's not gunpowder which by the way, has a distinct odor. If asked, just tell them what it is and they should not have a problem with those products. Dermatch comes in a clear container and it looks like make-up.

Regular Member WhamHair Posted August 18, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have taken toppikk on carry-on luggage for domestic and international flights and there has been no issue so far. I've been doing this for about a year and a half. It's been a total non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
