  Your scalp probably got fungal infection.

  Change the hair product you are using. If that doesn't work.. you better go seek medical help.

  Forget yun nam or beijing 101. Those are just spas.

  You need a doctor to do a scalp test  before he/she can prescribe any medication for you.

  I did a internet search and came up with this website...

  Dr Aileen Tan.

  There's more out there.. you'll need to do more research....

  or .. you can try talking to your GP doctor and ask him for a recommendation.

  Hmmm.. I'm not sure how the payments work with those kind of treatment.

  But you may be able to use your parent's medisave ? I suggest you talk to your parents to figure this part out.

  You can probably go see a general practitioner first.. if it needs specialist attention.. he/she will likely refer you to one.

  the problem you have is an easy one to treat.  don't need expensive special treatment or see doctor.  when you use the wrong type of shampoo or gel, it alters your hair pH.  The right conditioner that balances your hair pH would help. guardian pharmacy should have. If your scalp also got dandruff, then it's infected. if not, then you're not. i take it you don't hv dandruff. the right way is to use a pH-balanced for dry hair shampoo, conditioning, rinsing and finally oil it (twice a week shld suffice) . Use light olive oil for hair and massage into your hair after it has almost dried. you can still use gel but dont throw pounds on your hair. this shld work.

  Dandruff is dandruff..just because it is in a controllable state does not mean it is not affecting your scalp.

   

  You keep dragging the treatment.. later the infection destroy your hair folicle already. ... then good lor.. no more hair problem .. because your hair all gone !!

  One, your shampoo is too drying.  And you are not washing right, or you are using too strong a dandruff shampoo.

  Two, I dont read you using a conditioner.

  three, that gel does not moisturise.

  four,  your growth hormones or your change in diet might be affecting your hair.

  Answer One, Change the shampoo, maybe a moisturing anti dandruff shampoo and have another moisturing cleansing shampoo for weekends. Massage your head when shampooing, meaning you use the pads of your fingertips to massage your scalp rubbing the shampoo onto yuor scalp and rinse well.

  Answer two, apply conditioners, dont apply in globs onto your scalp.  just make sure your fingers have conditioner and run those fingers thru the hair, avoiding your top and your scalp.

  Three, get moisturing serum, apply them to the hair and then the gel to scuplt.  Not too much, a bit of wind blown hair wont look that bad.

  Answer four, you need to take more green vegies and maybe some supplements.

  A suggestion: Get those Garnier hair colour and dye your hair.  their moisturing ingredients helps to condition hair and thus staightening your fizzy strands.  your other alternative is to apply your own hair mask or go for treatments at salons.
