Post: Re: Excessive Sweating and Wearing

I have just took a shower with Prothik on my head, and I can now vouch that it, like DermMatch, is waterproof.

Post: Re: Going bald for the 2nd time!

(1) You should always have a spare hairpiece or two on hand. Not doing so is asking for trouble! (2) Concealers such as Toppik, Dermatch, and ProThick are your friends. Learn to use them!

Post: Re: Going from Consealer to Wearing Hair

I too used concealers for a similar length of time, until I felt that I was no longer able to maintain the illusion. Also, by last summer, I had so much Toppik in my hair, that if I sweat at all, I'd...

Post: Re: Going from Consealer to Wearing Hair

I should have also mentioned that I should have made the transition to wearing like a year earlier than I did, so that the transition would not have been as noticeable.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to achieve that. MB in his video has a simimlar hair style, only a lot less dense, and not spiked out on the sides, but it's the same idea. Exposing so much of ...

Rain isn't so much of a problem with hairpieces as it is with Toppik. Rain is the arch nemesis of Toppik! (Also, for blending issues with a hairpiece, DermMatch stands up to rain and showers, as lon...

I agree with those who say the best haircut for a newbie is one that is designed to be spiked forward. That way you can show off enough hairline so as to help allay suspicions without having to maint...

Well, you can style your hair so that it is messy, in which case even if it's shiny, it doesn't really look greasy -- it looks gelled. There are also matte gels and "putties". I believe that all of ...

That's not a real photo. It's a strange Photoshop work. You can see lace on top of hair when you zoom in, which just isn't the way things work in the real world.
