Hair Loss
-
Facing some hair thinning problems and I am only in my mid 20s. It's especially devastating since I am a girl. :-( Very conscious abt top of head. I have been using Minoxil 5% from National Skin Centre for abt half a year now but I don't see any improvement, in fact it seems to have worsened.
Now I am considering to seek help from people like Beijing 101 or Yunnam. Does anyone have experience with these two?
Or anyone out there who successfully rid themselves of hair thinning / balding problem??
Pls help... I am constantly sad abt this... :-( -
I'm no expert on this matter.
But hair loss could be attributed to improper diet, stress and even depression.
For a start, you may want to take more protein and greens! Adopt a healthier lifestyle - start exercising. And do speak to your consultant at NSC, you may need a different kind of treatment.
Don't worry your pretty head, if there's a problem; there's a solution
Edited: If you've family members whom are suffering from the same problem. you may actually inherited it from them. Do speak to your consultant regarding this too.
And remember! Don't put yourself under pressure or any unhappiness! It serves no good and might worsen the condition -
Can try kaminomoto from Guardian Parmacy. Apply it before you sleep. I hope you are not a constant maggie mee eater.

I am not a constant maggie mee eater (I'm hardly even home to make maggie mee). However I did use to eat quite often when I was schooling.
I am very health conscious and always take my greens. But maybe I don't eat enough meat. What food is rich in protein? Egg white?
My parents have thin hair but both are not bald. They're quite old so it's hard to compare. I am the only child. :-( -
think u need to seek professional help... dont try unknown hair products.. might not be able to help u..
-
Oh....don't ever try Yun Nam or Beijing 101. Not that I'm the one losing hair but I got a feeling they are gimmicks. 2 of my friends have tried Yun Nam and both said it's a waste of money.
Try to get a doctor's advice first. If possible, see another doc for a second opinion and then see how.
There are always hair implants like Svenson to fall back on. -
hair implants are the surest guarantee it will work but it's most exp and time consuming i believe.. All those herbs stuff, majority is bullshit.

My uncle who was balding sought help from Beijing 101 some years ago, but Beijing 101 did not take him then because they said they could not help improve his situation. So i think in your case, you could go for a consultation and listen to what they have to say. The choice is still yours whether to sign up with them or not.
My brother who is also balding, recently found that he has been washing his hair using warm water which resulting in him lossing hair, so his advice is to use cold water to wash your hair. -
diet also plays a factor. if you are currently on a diet to control your weight. it may make your hair brittle at some point where its not getting enough nutrients, cosing the hair to break and lose out in extreme cases.
warm/hot water makes the hair strands open up along it and makes it easier to break. Cool water helps smooth down the hair by closing off those strands.
This is a age old beauty tip which I think will also apply to those losing hair:
Those with curly hairs and hoping to keep their hair curls. Are recommended to sleep on Silk/Satin Cover pillowcases.
Rationale is that the silk/satin dont snag your hair as much. So for those still young, but possibly losing hair....not because it drop from the roots, but because the hair strand broke. -
Oh...and something else.
Avoid smoking or smoke filled environment.
Inhaling smoke constrict your blood vessels, thereby restricting the delivery of your essential nutrients to your skins, hair follicles & nails thru your blood.
Thats why beauty magazines always advise against smoking, cos smoking ages you by resulting your skin to look dull, your hair brittle & your nails uneven surfaces.
Doctors also advises patients from smoking, especially after surgical procedures because when blood cannot send those essential nutrients to your needed organs....it heals so much slower. -
Don't scratch your head
Eat properly, and perhaps pop a multivitamin pill if u cannot make sure u eat well enough.
Get enough sleep -
Soy bean rich in protein but cannot take too much also. if this continues for 1 month, u got to do some 'scarifice', cut your hair short to strengthen it first, shorter hair is stronger. Shampoo selection also important, seek professional or experience hairstylist regarding this. Stick to one shampoo and dont keep changing. Apply hair tonic.Originally posted by dreamykite:Can try kaminomoto from Guardian Parmacy. Apply it before you sleep. I hope you are not a constant maggie mee eater.
Do not colour or rebond your hair at this period of time.
May I know how it happens? Did you do some hair dye/rebond/perming that causes this? -
Hey girl,
First off, worrying about it will just increase your stress levels and that's really bad for your overall health.
I myself found my hair getting thinner especially at the parting near the hairline. When i consulted a dietician, she told me i was lacking in Omega-3 oil. Since then i've been taking Usana's Omega-3 fish oil gel capsules and also their multivitamins. Currently, after a month, there's a vast improvement and though my hair is not luciously thick, at least noone will comment saying i'm balding or whatever.
Also, i nourish my hair every week by applying Olive oil to the entire head and massaging it in. This is done before bed and left throughout the night, clipped up. Then i wash out my hair with a mild shampoo in the morning. Though it is really gross to touch your oily hair at night and stuff, this treatment leaves your hair healthy and shiny. If you are hardworking, once massaging the oil in, soak a small towel with hot water and wrap your hair in a turban-like fashion. Leave till towel is cool. Repeat at least 5 times. This is good especially in early stages.
Another rule is to NEVER brush your wet hair! This will jerk the hair follicles out as wet hair is at its' weakest. Instead, use a wide toothed comb to comb out once, and then let hair air-dry. As far as possible, use a brush only on dry hair, that has those plastic points in its teeth. This will act like a massage on the hair.
It is important not to use too many styling products. Best to have a short, no-fuss hairstyle during this period of pampering your hair. Rebonding/straightening/perming is out of the question as they do the worst damage possible to hair.
Lastly, hair is a woman's crowning glory. Do think before you do/apply anything to your hair. -
You are losing your hair, looks like you going to lose your money too.
Money can be earned, but the hair is not growing back.
Hair loss is natural, you can only slow it down. It drops and replaces itself. But slowly the replacement does not match the loss. Simple massage of the scalp to improve blood circulation will help to keep the scalp supple longer. But it may be too late now, this should been done regularly decades ago. The best time to keep your hair is when you still have it, so say an advertisement, very true.
If the cause of hair loss is a symptom of some ailment, it can be treated. This is why some people are "successful", while others have no effect in hair raising treatment.
If you are truely persistent in regaining you crown, there is hair transplant, or hair weaving. Thats why I say you going to lose your money too. -
I think its best to just go to a doctor ,surely there are other drugs for hairloss. The Yun nam one ...heard there were some complaints lor.
-
the idea of using 'chopped shallots' is a bit like the old idea to use whiskey to rub into your scalp to promote hair growth.

Can shave it all off, and be a skinhead.
I see lots of botak head men who actually only have receding hair line.
