After reading all these comments about Dermmatch, i have decided to add my 2 cents.

I have been using Dermmatch for two months now and its not what I expected. According to the product, you can swim or play sport with it. Well, guess what? Took a swim today and decided to test out the product. After few lap in the pool, the color disappeared from my head. Also I have tested the product playing basketball. When I started to sweat, I am getting few streaks running down my forehead. Pretty embrassing I would say. Not sure what I do wrong but I thought this product shouldn't do that. I am going to test courve and maybe nanogen after I used up all Dermmatch.

I would try blowdrying it then using a towel to wipe off the excess then blow dry it again. A lot of experienced users do this with good results. Read page 4 and 5 of this topic.

I have never used dermmatch but i have used couvre and my only problem was that it rubbed off on pillows leaving dark stains.

Im not sure if you have the same problem with dermmatch but i'm guessing you might. Any ideas on how to handle this guys. Any tips on avoiding these embarassing situations when using dermmatch and sleeping on white pillows?

Hi Robert, just a question for you. When to you apply the gel? I do the gel first then the dermatch and toppik last. I assume applying gel after you put in the dermatch would be messy. Thanks

My method Works wonders but I have short hair called "High&tight"... takes 15 mins but it is the 1-2 punch that you hear about... a real trip.
After Extensive research and trauma =) I decided on Derm. After 1+yrs use so far- and lots of practice... Basically i do in this order:
1) DERM,
2)"Sm-amt" of surf hair(texurizing gel),
3) NANO,
4) any prefered SPRITZ hairspray.
There is a method I have yet to post but that is the bare bones if you will.
I have applied just the dermmatch the night before and finished the process in the morning by simply spritzing w/ some h2o then start @ (2).

Also if your are not careful you will break hairs during application tho mostly when hair is dry...

Oh ya Rob's pics partially persuaded me to start w/ Dermmatch although I use a fraction of what he does and I have way less hair. Thx man. cheers!

Now if I can just get a 6mo supply of applicators Ill be set =)

White Pillows= Bad
A)dark colors work(red, tan, Patterns)
B)Buy sleepcap
C)Walmart; Dri-sweat mesh caps $3

For less "rub-off" try
1)doing your application,
2)let it "dry"
3)spritz hair w/ h2o and apply a texure paste while hair is a bit damp
4)Some hairspray

Be sure to experiment and mess with ur hair to see how long it will stay proper and how much abuse it will take. =)
