Senior Member matt3480 Posted March 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2015 Looks great! Totally agree with the thoughts on concealer, too. I cannot wait to ditch using it as a crutch in a few months. On a scale from 1-10, it was great many years ago to be able to take my hair from a 6 or 7 to a 9 with concealer. However, as the years have gone by, it was quite unfulfilling to have to use it just to go from say a 3 to a 5. I plan on probably still using it a bit after I get my HT (as hopefully my hair will be a 7 again:D) but it will primarily be in the crown. As Spanker said, it definitely can become an anchor. Zup, I am curious about the fill in powder. Is it this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Zup Posted March 6, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2015 Matt 3480.... Yes....it is like a shoe polish for the head, works great in thin areas where one sees as much scalp as hair of more hair then scalp, easy to apply and virtually waterproof. Best in the mid section and crown, where one is just trying to eliminate the appearance of scalp through the hair. If you don't see scalp one looks full....the front third, requires a bit more precision, start about an inch behind the hairline and blend to just behind the hairline. When one gets to a point where they now are seeing more scalp than hair, it is time to hand the baton off to transplants...definitely can't color in a bald spot. Patient Educator, Shapiro Medical.
