When you need serious coverage that won’t budge—even if you get caught in a rainstorm or hit the gym—standard hair fibers sometimes need a “base coat.” This is where waterproof concealers like Finally Hair Waterproof Dab-on and Dermatch come into play.
Both products are designed to color the scalp and coat the hair shaft, but they offer very different experiences in terms of application, portability, and value. Here is how they compare.
1. Application & Portability
How you apply the product often determines how much you’ll actually use it.
-
Finally Hair Waterproof Dab-on: This is a “dry” application system. It comes in a compact, mirrored travel kit with a sponge applicator hidden in the base and a folding brush. No water is required—you simply dab and go. Its small size makes it perfect for your pocket or purse for mid-day touch-ups.
-
Dermatch: This is a “wet” application system. It comes as a hard-packed disc. To apply it, you must dampen the provided EZ Reach applicators with water before rubbing them onto the disc and then onto your scalp. While effective, it’s much harder to use “on the go” since you need access to a sink.
The Winner: Finally Hair for its superior portability and mess-free dry application.
2. Multi-Purpose Versatility
Can your concealer do more than just hide a bald spot?
-
Finally Hair: This formula was specifically designed to be a 4-in-1 tool. Because of the dry powder consistency and the included precision brush, it works beautifully as a beard filler, eyebrow builder, and gray root touch-up.
-
Dermatch: While it can be used on beards, its wet application makes it difficult to use on eyebrows without looking “painted on.” It is primarily a scalp and hair-shaft thickener.
The Winner: Finally Hair for its ability to handle brows, beards, and hairlines with one kit.
3. Ingredients & Safety
Both brands prioritize safety, but their formulas differ.
-
Dermatch: Uses a formula rich in botanical and natural ingredients, including emollients derived from palm leaves to provide its water-resistant properties.
-
Finally Hair: Our formula is Pro-Health and focuses on being hypoallergenic. It contains Vitamin E and is free from potentially harmful chemicals like Silica, DMDM Hydantoin, and Ammonium Chloride. It is designed to let your pores breathe while providing a total block of the scalp’s reflection.
The Winner: Tie. Both are safe, topical solutions that do not interfere with hair growth.
4. Cost & Value
-
Dermatch: A single disc of Dermatch is often priced significantly higher (usually around $35-$50). While the disc lasts a long time, the initial investment is steep.
-
Finally Hair: Currently priced at $19.97, providing a much lower barrier to entry for a professional-grade waterproof concealer.
