I have thinning hair, and after Rogaine Form failed to yield results I turned to concealers to try and cover up a bit, hopefully until Propecia takes effect, but if not then permanently.
I first tried Toppik, which worked "okay" but which I never felt totall happy with and never felt total secure when wet.
Then I ordered Dermmatch, which is just brilliant. It transforms my thin and unnattractive hair into a completely full head. There are just no holes in it anymore! There are drawbacks to it, but in my opinion are worth it.
Yes a little will come off on your pillow, and this maybe an issue if you have white sheets. I have blue so I hardly notice it at all. I doubt other people will either. It's not like a big gloopy mess, it's just a browny-black power. Most of it even dusts off. However as I said, it maybe more of an issue if you have white sheets. It's no problem for your own bed however of course the problem is when sleeping in someone elses. Again, fine if your sleeping alone as you could put a T-Shirt over the pillow or something, but not so good if you have got lucky(with the help of your new full head of hair!). Not much of an answer really, you could wash it out the night before - as someone said "Just say your washing the gel out etc". But that will leave you the problem of thin hair in the morning. The other way is just to bluff your way out of it. It does clean off and maybe able to dust it before she wakes up. I don't know, you would just have to wing it.
Application is not the easiest, and takes a little while to master. Less is definately more! When you first apply it it won't look so good, I was dissapointed for sure. However, if you brush it a lot whilst it is drying it will totally transform it! Honestly you won't believe the difference!
It may make a mess of your bathroom sink, but cleans off with soap an water. You may also need to wipe a little excess of your forehead. Don't get too close to the hairline, maybe a 10-15mm behind or something and brush forward. It's much easier than Toppik though.
If anyone wants I can post some pictures up. I have just applied it now though after using Nizoral so it won't be for about 3 days in order to get a before pic.
The application does take time, but fits in well with my Nizoral schedule. Every 3 days I will wash with a mild shampoo to get rid of the Dermmatch, then Nizoral, then re-apply Dermmatch. At first this was taking me upto an hour, but can now get it done in about 30 mins or so, give or take. However, since most of that time is waiting for it to dry and brushing it through I can do other things as well such as cleaning my teeth and having a shave etc, so it's not quiet as bad as it sounds. It also lasts 2-3 days at least if your prepared not to wash your hair so it's no hardship.
Anyway, just thought I would share that - hope it helps.
