Hey Rolandas! I've also been using dermmatch, but I use it in conjunction with Sea Salt Spray (London Grooming is the best brand I've found). I apply dermmatch with the applicator a little bit damp, and then I spray a bit of Sea Salt Spray and comb it through my hair. Then I blow dry the hair. It looks bloody incredible and super natural. Just get medium brown and you'll look like a million bucks!
The secret with hair fiber is giving it a base to stick to. Don’t do it dry or it looks weird and just blows around on your scalp. I use a Vaseline based moisturizer and run it through my hair and down to the scalp. Then use the pump spray applicator for the fiber and spray it in. You can comb it if needed. Then light hair spray and you’re good.
I use a stiff foundation brush. I wet the brush, do circles in the dermatch and then apply it to scalp. Works a million times better than those crappy pads they give you! Also I find dermatch on its own can make the hair look matte, so I tend to dry my hair first then use a wet wipe on my hair to remove the dermatch from the hair itself, leaving the dermatch on the scalp :)
Hi , do you know about ROSEMARY OIL ? i heard it improves blood circulation in scalp and gives exaclty similar results of minoxidil without the side effects..
Nah, it doesn't work nearly as good as Minoxidil. I think there was only 1 very weak study if I recall.... If that would be the case EVERYONE would know about it and would use with success. Since it's not something vast majority are doing, it's likely BS.
Hey! your midscalp has really grown in. honestly, I wouldn't bother put anything in. The dermatch is way too light. the Fiber's are ok I guess, but I think you're fine au natural
@@MrRolandas I agree that your hari color change was probably due to minoxidil. It's no unusual for hair to lighten as it thins.do you remember your hair being darker when you were younger?
@@zipgunII Yes, my hair color was medium/dark brown all over my head (just like my Transplant looks like in the front). Indeed my native hair before minoxidil were thinner and much lighter. For the longest time people been telling me I'm kind of blonde. Now of course we clearly see it's not true haha
The fibres look like a birds nest. For dermmatch, buy two shades of brown. Get a toothbrush and shaved powder from each in a separate container and mix. You can then experiment to find a blend to match your hair colour.
First of all try smaller dose of oral fin. Most people will tolerate it. 0.5mg/day or every other day. If that doesn't work try topical fin, then topical dut
Hey Rolandas, interesting experiment! Didn't know that you can swim with dermmatch. How long does it last on the hair with regular showering? Do you have to apply it daily for best results? By the way, it's been 5.5 weeks since my HT and still no significant hair fall yet. Transplanted hairs on the hairline have grown quite a bit now. I think it's supposed to be a good thing but I'm still kinda worried. I was told that you generally lose between 50-80% of transplanted hair in the initial hair fall phase. But I'm certainly well below 50% at this point.
You might be well over 50%, but haven't noticed due to gradual shedding. Happened to me both times haha Dermmatch - it doesn't wash off with water, but it can come off just a little bit if you start strong rubbing with something. Maximum I've been with it for 2 days. 2nd day looks the same as the 1st one. It's a great concealer, but won't give you "bulk" like fibers do.
@@MrRolandas That could be, maybe I’m just gradually losing density and not noticing it. But the contour of the hairline is intact for now. The Mann said dermmatch is good for masking occasional grey hairs as he does it himself.
Hey hair looking good bro. Have you seen better results since using oral minoxidil than when you previously used the topical version. Thinking of making the switch due to convenience more than anything, but sceptical due to switching and loosing any gains etc. Currently take 1mg fin, and use topical minoxidil combined with micro needling
Hard to say and frankly it's too early. I've been on it just about 2 months. Topical works well too, especially paired with microneedling. You'd need to weight risk vs benefit for oral min. It's certainly not the safest drug.
What do you think about scalp micropigmentation? Would you get it and keep your hair at the same length it is now? I don't know much about it, but understanding is that it gives the illusion of more density if a person has diffuse thinning. I don't think it looks as good when SMP is used on completely bald areas. It's supposed to look like a short haircut, but I think it looks flat and unnatural.
The only time I would probabl use SMP is on my donor should it be looking depleted. Otherways I'm not a big fan of SMP. Simply put, it WILL change colour & fade away. How quickly? - nobody knows. For some it takes only months, for some - years. I've spoken to a guy who was doing 3x SMP every year just to keep it looking good. Not a good return for money (at least right now) for me + god knows what will happen putting so much ink everywhere. What if it will expand and from small dots get bigger? (It's possible). I'd consider SMP as a last resort only.
Hey man love your videos really helpful and informative. I just have a question I am about 1 month post DHI procedure with about 5,000 graphs and I am definitely experiencing the shock loss and sharing that you mentioned in your videos. I was wondering if it would be too early for me to start the topic hair fibers to help with the concealing or would it be too early in could possibly cause an infection or folliculitis?
First of all i would definitely ask your doctor about it. It shouldn't be too bad if you're not using it on a daily basis. Main issue is skin irritation as it's still healing.
your hair probably seems darker now because hair from sides is always darker than the top. When people get transplants the "new" hair always looks a shade darker than when they had a full head of native hair. Just my observation, maybe the minoxidil does it too
Can u talk about growth rate, not after time but in general in the sense of how many grafts grow from transplant to transplant from person to person and what effects the amount of grafts not growing at all
This kind of question is impossible to answer as there are too many variables - surgical skill, personal ability to heal etc. General consensus is over 90% of survival is good.
Trying to follow proper workout regiment (although nutrition sux as always haha). Also was trying to film a video in between organising luggage, preparring paperwork for travelling and gym. No time for changing the clothes and adjusting dermmatch haha
Rolandas how are you? I've watched all of your videos but have a question, In your first 3 days, did you only use the saline spray every 30min and then on your 4th day, you started washing your transplanted hair with baby shampoo correct? Thanks man.
The only issue here is if you would leave fibers for very long time without washing as it can irritate skin. Skin is still healing. Other than that it will be fine. Nothing can damage your transplant at this stage.
Smp will fade and change colour. The more you do on top, the worse it will look. Can't see how it's a good idea long term (20+ years). Concealers easy to apply, easy to remove.
@@MrRolandas yes. I used a blow dryer on the cool setting and carefully dried it. Then I waited a whole day before running water through it just to test it out. The product looks great it’s just I didn’t find it to be water proof. Unless I’m suppose to use hairspray too?
@@matthalo89 perhaps you applied too much, which became like chunks stuck to your hair. From my experience dermmatch is best used directly on scalp and not on hair, to simply change the colour. Perhaps worth trying to rinse with water whatever "comes out", and the rest what stays will be waterproof. I never had issues with it. Yes, sometimes a bit comes off at the very beginning, but after i had no issues. Been having showers, swimming in the ppol etc.

Thanks for the tip. I don't use dermmatch anymore as I've got good density, but I might pick up some sea salt spray as I've heard good things about it

Think I will buy that pump to see how it works. Indeed light layers is best than chunks.
I use sevich, it's cheap and has its own refill and hold spray

Interesting suggestion. I've seen people doing it.
To be honest I don't think I'd be bothered that much. I just use dermmatch on very few occasions 😁
Hey your hair is looking amazing! Do you have any recommendations regarding diffuse thinners who can’t tolerate oral finasteride?
First of all try smaller dose of oral fin. Most people will tolerate it. 0.5mg/day or every other day.

i never heard of dermmatch this is new to me
Welcome to the club!
@@MrRolandas i already found the chinese version :)
@@M4RTiJNTJE I'd be wary with chinese version :) Dermmatch is US brand.
Dermmatch looks the best...just get one shade darker. Hair fibers looked caked on and clumpy.
Haha indeed fibers can look a bit chunky, but to be honest, nobody is really inspecting my head closely 😁
That bloober tho hahaha

Hi there! I am 8 weeks post HT, is this the right time to apply derm match while waiting for hairs to grow? Thank you!
how can u brush fibers without brushing them out? they come off for me
Hitting the gym quite well.
Trying to follow proper workout regiment (although nutrition sux as always haha).
Also was trying to film a video in between organising luggage, preparring paperwork for travelling and gym. No time for changing the clothes and adjusting dermmatch haha
@@MrRolandas Yeah. That is reflecting on your body.
That shows how much you care for subscribers. Your content is always helpful.
@@SajidurApurba Appreciate kind words. I'm really just trying to give content I know I'd be interested myself.
@@MrRolandasThat makes your video different n interesting as well. Eagerly looking forward to your new videos as always 😊.
On month 5, you wont need any concealers. The hair transplant will definitely cover everything.
🤞
BTW, I took my first pill of 2.5 loniten yesterday, no sides! It looks like it improves circulation in my body even.
the end xd
I don't know how to use dermatch properly, I prefer fibers but thankfully I don't have to use either anymore...
Practise makes perfect just like with anything, but good for you for not needing any concealers! 👌
Rolandas how are you? I've watched all of your videos but have a question, In your first 3 days, did you only use the saline spray every 30min and then on your 4th day, you started washing your transplanted hair with baby shampoo correct? Thanks man.
Hey Robert, yes that's correct. From day 4, no saline, just Shampoo followed by Aloe Vera twice a day.
@@MrRolandas Cool man. Almost a year ago I had my first FUE and I already forgot what I did lmao. I'm heading for my second one nextweek.
@@robertbolivarr8363 nice one. Best of luck!
why dou you have 2 hairtransplantations?
After hair transplant is it ok to use hair fibers on week 5? U know because of the hair shock loss
The only issue here is if you would leave fibers for very long time without washing as it can irritate skin. Skin is still healing.
Other than that it will be fine. Nothing can damage your transplant at this stage.
Use a aerosol hair concealer, much easier but $$$$
I've tried few of those, not a fan 😁 but yes, they can work. Some with more paint in it are better.
How long would you recommend waiting to use fibers after a transplant
About 1 months I think is a fair amount of time.
What do you think of SMP vs concealers ??
Smp will fade and change colour. The more you do on top, the worse it will look. Can't see how it's a good idea long term (20+ years).
Concealers easy to apply, easy to remove.
What’s crazy is that you’re just on month 2. So this in month 8 is gonna be crazy to watch, you’ll barely need hair fibers.
Hopefully! 🤞
How many years did it take for you to go from a Norwood 2 to a Norwood 5?
I think about 5 years.
when can I use hairfiber After HT
1 month should be fine.
I'm scared of oral minoxidil
Then you should change your profile picture 😁
Can you apply topicals on top of dermatch?
Probably yes, but also its likely topicals might remove dermmatch due to alcohol
How much time after the hair transplant can the hair fibers be used?
There's no general rule. Some say 3 weeks, some say 3 months. In my opinion 1 month after is fine.
@@MrRolandas Thanks mate, i am 7 weeks post surgery, the shedding phase is really mentally and psychologically hard
It is hard, but you're more than half way there. Soon you will see new growth 👌
@@MrRolandas Thanks mate, Hopefully
Bro, are you still using finasteride?

How is it you can go swimming and Dermmatch stays but you take a shower and it comes right off?
it doesn't come off in the shower if you don't use any kind of soap/shampoo ;)
@@MrRolandas it did tho. I just ran some cool water over my head and it immediately came off
@@matthalo89 you have to dry it out completely before using any water on it.
