If you have been using some anti- hair loss shampoos or products and you are not getting the results you want, or worse, you are dropping off more hair than you used to before the use of the product, its time to consider to stop the use of the shampoo or product for the time being, say for a week or two. During this period, check that whether without the use of the anti-hair loss product, you are losing lesser hair, or losing the same amount of hair………if you do, it may mean that the hair product you are using is not doing much improvement for your hair. For hair sufferers like us, we tend to grab any hair product that is touted to be a miracle for hair loss…but in the advertising world, all products are lauded to be miracle cures…our initial anticipation and hopes become dashed as we flit from one product to another without seeing any results. Thus before you flit to yet another product, why not REST your scalp without any chemicals for the time being and ascertain the result?

An Inconvenient Truth

My self-esteem took a beating today as I tried to comb my hair. Where in the past, the comb would touch on my layers of hair, this time round, it touched on my scalp directly. My hair line became wider and obviously it was thinning as portions of scalp showed! A lot of hair were lost (around 20 to 30) everytime I shampoo my hair and I forsee I would really become ‘botak’ in a matter of months. I have tried and experimented with many shampoos, treatments, drugs and lotions, choosing a better diet, eating more hair-healthy food, but all these are not able to stem my hair from falling. I seem to be fighting a losing battle against hair loss. It has already been two years since my hair first fell … and the longer the battle, the thinner is my hair! I have tried all sorts of shampoos, all claiming to be of help to stem the fall of hair, some were organic, others were lauded and advertised to heal hair loss… but all these products are not able to help stem the perennial fall of hair on my sc...

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Biolyn

I am thinking of trying Traditional Chinese Medicine and Biolyn as I have not tried them before. For hair loss sufferers like us, every try comes with high expectations. And shall that expectation fails you, it is another sadness, another waste of time, money and efforts. And for some unlucky folks, their scalps and hairfall could even aggravate!

Apple cider vinegar

The pH of apple cider vinegar is on the low side being acidic. The pH of our scalp is acidic in nature as well. We have always subjected our scalp to tough shampoos which are alkaline, these have stripped the nature pH of our scalp, thus more and more of the people are having hair problems. Apple cider vinegar can be explored for your use to treat your hair problems. There are oodles of articles on the internet about its use in hair loss cures.

Apple Cider Vinegar

I just bought a bottle of apple cider vinegar and has tasted it: its like a bitter wine! After seeing on the net the miracles of washing and cleaning the hair with apple cider vinegar, I am tempted to try this organic treatment. Will be updating my blog on this.

Wet Hair

One of the worst hair care habits is to go to bed with your hair wet. Sometimes, this cannot be avoidable especially when we come home late after a tired day at work. Sleeping with wet hair, I personally find the hair strands on the pillow and bed more after waking up! This could be due to easy breakage of wet hair. Not to mention the accumulation of more dust, dirt and oil with increased moisture of the hair.

Two schools of thought

There are generally two schools of thought to combat against hair loss. Scientific proven methods: to reduce formation of DHT via finasteride and minoxidil to apply to the scalp for nourishing of follicles. The second school of thought would be via herbal treatment for the conditioning and nourishment of hair follicles, the roots of hair. There are scores of such herbal hair care centres around in Singapore. The common treatment procedure in a visit to the herbal hair care centre is routine: application of herbs onto the customer’s scalp followed by steaming for the follicles to absorb the herbs, followed by final washing and shampooing. Basically, I am currently following a herbal, organic approach plus massaging of scalp. Will update my progress regularly here.
