My experience is some kind of shampoo is not suitable for some people due to its alkalinity. Maybe the shampoo is not suitable for you. In my case, I used Pantene before and lost a lot of hair. At first I thought that maybe my hair is too long. A few years later, I heard someone said that some shampoos have high alkalinity. This may cause someone to loss a lot of hair. Hence, I decided not to use Pantene and used Johnsons Baby shampoo ( not advertising Johnsons Baby shampoo ). After that, I do not face the problem until now. I think there is no need to use treating hair loss shampoo. Use conditioner unless you have very severe hair loss problem.

thanks

pantene anti-dandruff caused me a hair loss
switch to head&shoulder anti-dandruff and everything back to normal.
guess shampoo type / brand does play a factor then....

i read that evening primrose oil supplements work wonders on hair...can men take evening primrose???

its nt very good for guys it seem the lady in the pharmacy told me.. she said its usually used for pregnant ladies.. so i diden dare buy

I am using Himalaya shampoo...quite OK
But shampoo has no big effect on male pattern hairloss

I'm using Himalaya shampoo too. But it makes my hair dropped even more. Besides, it also makes my hair dry.

Can eat gua... my friend has been taking for years, however he is not use for hair loss problem, bt it's for acne problem...

50-100 hair drop perday is considered normal la..

medically, man pattern hair lose is treat by oral finasteride (Propecia) and minidixil cream.. only can get from skin specialist
The sucessful of treatment is actually depend hw many hair folicle is remain on your scalp.

Well, to me it's not really that normal. Because I never dropped my hair that much.

Btw, Propecia have a side effect for some people. Especially guys.

so i say need go to see skin specialist lo.. u need to be monitored carefully to avoid all the side effect. hehe it's an anti-male hormone..

Huh. Really headache. Plan to switch to other conditioner shampoo.

Do you think Maxi Hair works wonder?

hmm not sure about which shampoo is good. since i didnt hv major hair problem lolx
Anyway, people always underestimate hair loss problem, since there are many causes that can lead to hair loss

1. fungal infection, kutu infestation
2. Eczema, some eczema only limited at your scalp in the early stage and only manisfest as hair drop, may be u didnt see any problem in other skin part "yet"
3. Hormone problem = = --> one of the cause is the deterioted liver that cant' metabolise the estrogen
4. Worst is... syphilis highly contagious

anyway hope my statement wont scare off many ppl

It's normal I guess. I went to hair salon and they scan my hair skin before, they said very oily.

wont it be easier if we just shave our hair if the MPB effect is too obvious? I notice not so many are daring enough to sport a whole clean, hairless look. You might look more confident that way and should be easier to maintain the whole look.

talking about this topic make me remember one of the interesting case i ever seen.. A girl come with hair loss problem. There is nothing wrong with the scalp, no other complain like itchiness, dandruff, pain etc. The only thing is that she is very very quiet and very difficult to communicate with.

@@ however after dig the detail deeply, found out she is obsessed to cabut her hair.. keep cabut....... make her having hair loss

She need psychiatrist.

like my friend wor, she always pulled her hair when she was doing mathematical questions. there was a rumour among our friends that she could solve a question by pulling one hair at a time. Mind you though, she is extremely good in mathematics.

yeah she is refered to psychiatist with diagnosis of trichillomania. kesian la..

But I think that's kinda common for those hardcore bookworms. Some people I know, love to cabut their hair when pressure. Some even cry or vomit.

What lah, study until like that.

i have hair fall problem too, but my hair fall is not the normal hair fall, mine is only fall on certain part and make a "hole" on my head.

I have spend a few thousand ringgit on yun nam hair care, according to them the only thing they can do is to protect and strengthen the hair root, the major problem is due to body hormon, another words is due to pressure.

so now what i do try some meditation class, and it works!!!
