Dermatch (Medium Brown)

I rarely write reviews (I have a 1 year old, a full time job, and a husband which means I have zero free time) but I really feel the need to share how this product has totally changed my life. That is not an exaggeration, I promise, stay with me here. I have very fine hair and people always say not to wash your hair every day for better hair. But with fine hair it looks greasy and gross and no amount of dry shampoo can help. I also have a thinning spot towards the front of my hairline from when I was pregnant. The hair has SLOWLY started to come back but it really bothered me. So I bought some stuff over the counter at Walgreens which worked but it was this very loose powder and it got everywhere and was hard to put in one specific spot. So I looked for something else and ran across this. I have in no way regretted that purchase and will probably order this for the rest of my life even if that thinning part grows back completely. Its easy to apply and it makes my hair thicker and easier to manage. And because it coats your hair slightly when you comb it through I literally only have to wash my hair once every 3 days. A little dry shampoo and I am good to go. Its holds whatever hairstyle I pick like curls, or blow outs, or waves, or straightened. I have seen some minor issues for other people and I just don't seem to care. Yes when you itch your head you get a little under your nails. Whatever. Wash your hands. Wash your pillow case once a week and you will not notice anything on your pillow. Its changed my life because I can hop in the shower with a shower cap, get out, dry off, and go. I have an hour long drive to work and the time this saves me in the morning and the extra sleep I get is wonderful. Cannot recommend enough.

I didn't care for this product. The color match was fine, but I did not like the way it made my hair feel after applying it to my scalp.

I have not tried the other concealing products or brands as this seems to work for me. The brochure claims that the product is water-resistant, but I don't find this to be true. When I wash my hair, even before shampooing, the color comes off so I am afraid to go swimming. It's also a pain cleaning the bathroom tiles everyday after I shower as the dye sticks to the tiles. Other than that and until I try another product that works better for me, I'll stick with this as it provides good coverage for my thinning hair.

O.K. Works but coverage is not as dramatic as photos suggest, but combined with fibers it provides better coverage than one alone. Not enough applicators and that should be self-evident to vendors and more included or offered as at an additional cost. I would like to know where to buy additional applicators.I would recommend.

The wire that goes around my head is too big so the hair does not sit well. I am trying to cover sparse hair on my crown so this does not do the trick.

This really is a great product. I won't take time explaining what it is, because if you're looking at it you probably already know, you brush it onto your hair, comb it through, and you've got the appearance of a lot more hair than you did when you started. My only complaint is that this medium brown shade they make seems to have a bit of reddish in it. I've found mixing it with the light brown produces a shade that almost perfectly matches my hair color, and even people looking up close and personal can't tell I'm wearing it.My tips for application, perfected over a few months:1) Apply to damp hair -- a few swipes of the towel after the shower2) Take a comb and stick all of your hair straight up3) Wet the brush, shake off the water, swirl through the container4) Brush back through hair5) Repeat 5-6 times until your entire head (or thinning areas) have been coated)6) Blowdry with cool setting, brushing or combing as you go to prevent sticking/clumping7) Use a paper towel and wipe off the excess (can also do this mid-blow-dry)I find a styling product (hairspray is my go to) helps add a little sheen and takes away the powdery look. Best of luck with this stuff -- it can be a pain to use, for certain, but it really added back a lot of confidence to my style.

I only tried this product once, but don't really care for it.

I have been unable to figure out why some days it colors well and other days I struggle to make the color stick. In the instructions it says that this is due to either the water or to hair products. I use the same water every day and the same mousse so am just puzzled as to why some days it is fine and other days it is a struggle to get the color to stick to my scalp
