Before finding DermMatch, I tried
several things, including the spray-on "head paint," and the
powdered stuff, which is actually wool. (I found out when
my head itched terribly.) None of these were satisfactory.
Then I wore wigs and falls, which were hot, and so heavy
that they gave me headaches.
I find it difficult to express
how much DermMatch has improved my life. I had a low grade
temp when I was seven that lasted for 2 1/2 months. My mom
was sick so I had to do my own hair, and because it was
long, thick, and curly, I learned that it was easiest to
maintain in a pony tail, 24/7. When I got well, my mom took
me for my quarterly trimming; the hairdresser took out the
rubber band and started screaming. "What has happened to
this child's hair?" she shouted, and promptly cut my hair
off in a "Buster Brown." I cried all the way home.
So I've struggled with thin hair
all my life, but it has gotten worse and worse as I've
gotten older (I'm now 60). I would be in a wig every day,
miserable with the heat and feeling like a fake, if it
weren't for DermMatch. What would my new husband think when
I took off my hair each night? (Along with my glass eye,
wooden leg, and padded bra....) Most people think my hair is
very thick, but it's all due to DermMatch. Thanks so much
for the ability to go out every day and feel "normal,"
attractive, and free to forget about my appearance and to
focus my thinking on the other people I contact and their
lives. In other words, to forget about me!
Many blessings,
Dianne Capers
