So Boonies,

May enlighten us on the benefits of hair tonics?

Erm what kind of hair tonic are you refering to? As for me, i consider hair tonics as a supplementary treatment..imagine you got flu and u take some herbal tea to refresh your throat but you will still need medications.

But of course there are a lot of types of hair loss..but mainly divided to 2 types.
Genetics and non genetics..those non genetics are usually very easily recoverable. That is why you see Yun Nam they all use those pics of those non genetic hair loss people. But if you go there, they will tell u 1 thing..no guarantee..why would they say that?

Simple, because we are desperate and they themselves cannot cure genetic hair loss. They can only provide supplementary care for slowing down or reduce the effect of hair loss. Only certain medications and strict ways can help.

i`m using gamat shampoo..
n my head became `jerawat2`...huhu...
n my hair became lesser i think...
is it not suitable wif me?

I think you are sensitive to it. better stop using it at once or else it might trigger another type of hair loss not related to genetics..

try use...
L'oreal paris hair gel,cream or wax..
Got vitamin ma...

I use a hair tonic. Damn smelly.. its acetone level seems to spike but its cold and helps to numb the scalp when I feel I want to itch them. <-- main cause of hair falling anyway

Never notice the difference... my hair is thick, so even I did lost many hair... It looks like it never change anything.

Dandruff is actually one of the cause of hair fall... you should do this treatment first.

Yes my scalp is prone to have dandruff, but after using anti-dandruff shampoo the dandruff also came back, not sure whether too much scratching of the scalp causes hair loss or not..

Hair tonic not much difference? What I know is the ingredients got alcohol which can induce hair growth..

Use Nizoral Anti Dandruff shampoo. It's the only shampoo that contains Ketoconazale that can stop DHT..

so ashame la bro...

If you got long hair as mine, you'll never spot any different lor.... Try to eat more proteins regularly (since amino acids will end up excreted so we need constant supply of proteins). It will help building the keratin on your head.

I only use the tonic to keep me from scratching but the smell is kinda turn off although it felt good. Scratching your scalp is actually worsening the problem of dandruff.

I want to try the herbal stuff but I'm very wary with herbal since there are some herbal might cause your skin to overdry.

Alcohol is too dry for hair. Try to use hair mask after the treatment.

Well... what works the most? Hair massage... (not with the nails but with the pads of your hands) I actually do massage on people and what happens is that the flakes really come off and the natural oil helps moisten the hair. I usually do my own head massage when I feel itchy plus its destressing. Just don't pull on the strands too much or your hair will fall more.

Macho you need time and patience..it takes at least 1-2 years to see great results..just make sure you use the right products then i am sure you will benefit from it.

recommend some shampoo or treatment thingy la...

anyone has good result after using it ?

I suggest going to see a doctor or sermatologist.
Comfirm what is the cause of your hairloss.
If itis MPB, u hv no other way then Propecia.

for me i will stop eating outside food n fast food n also maggi
eatin light food n lots of vege n fruits
massage ur hair when washing
comb using big big comb with round end

bro..
gimme ur email...

hi macho...

my pieces of humble advices:

1.think positive all the time whenever you see your reflection from the mirror. i believed that people will get really down whenever they saw their hair are thinning. this is not gud one lor because in the mean time, they also will create small stress and negative mindset of it which will cause the hair to fall sooner. (dun worry to much about the hair..let your condition in relax mode if possible)
2. i agree with some of the members here of the idea to shave your head or to cut your hair short. it will avoid your hair to fall easily and it can be manageable when you start to apply booster of hair growth shampoo to your head.
3. avoid activities that might put you into too much stress or pressure mode.if you couldnt avoid it, try to counter it with something which might helps to reduce it. a vacation for example.
4. avoid fud and drinks which might cause the hair root to be weaken
5. massage your head everytime before you go to bed, for better blood circulation to head. there shud be few links for best way to massage your head. go for head spa once for a while.
6. take supplement such as BIOTIN which can help to strengthen the hair.
7. do sports which might boost blood circulation to the head.

p/s i wud recommend you to try NIOXIN shampoo and hair follicle booster from any salon wholesaler. it can help your thinning hair looks thicker. it helps to increase the thickness and strengthen your hair shaft. long term, you will see your hair size thicker. i experienced it for myself. all the best

is taking vitamin B complex have side effect ? and how many gram should take and for how long ? i dont have healthy scalp, light dandruff and i got pimples or bums on my scalp and very oily hair...my hair fall but at normal rate...

i can see my parting getting bigger....any advise ?

i am thinking of Kaminomoto tonic...cuz it makes the hair grow faster..if you cant make the hair fall stop, then make them grow fast...

propecia...
is it propecia very effective??
i`m surveyed it last day,,,
for a month around RM180...
if it is really effective, i`ll try it then..
any suggestion??

Watson is RM 158
I wrote in my Blog of my Propecia experience.
I can not said Propecia is very effective but at least is the most effective compare with Rogaine minoxidil....unless u doing hair transplant
I did a survey about the sides effect in my blog and show that it is not 2% claimed by Merck. So beware when u took it.
