I don't sell Rogaine Foam in Malaysia..if you happen to see Rogaine for sales in my website there are direct referrals from Amazon Suppliers which I intend to target the US market only. For local, I do suggest buying from Pharmacies..price a little bit higher but much easier to bring in.

If you are looking for Rogaine Foam in Malaysia, you might want to try KLCC Guardian or any big pharmacies..I can order for you if you want, just let me know

Myth #16

Pouring alcohol on my head will help my hair to grow.

You wish. The only thing with pouring brandy on your head will do is to make you smell like a drunk.

hi TS,

really appreciate ur kindness to share the info to us..

currently, i am a user of Nioxin System 1.. i bought their shampoo and scalp treatment as well.
However, i just use their shampoo as i feel it's quite troublesome to apply the scalp treatment. The worst is that, everytime i use the scalp treatment, there's too many hairs fall as compared to normal hair conditioner.

btw, i'm having baldness at the front part of hair (left hand side of my forehead), quite obvious especially when i tied up my hair..

Is Nioxin not suit me? shud i change to Nizoral?

thanks!

Nioxin is a good scalp cleanser. Initially i have used Nioxin System 1 before I changed to regular shampoo. FYI, Nioxin does not stop Pattern Baldness. What it does is condition your hair and remove pollutants. As the real cause of Pattern Baldness is not totally related to your scalp condition, Nioxin is not entire effective on its own to reverse hair loss. You will need other products as well to get your hair back effectively.

One more thing i would like to advise you. I noticed you tie your hair up often. Try not to tie it too tight or you might end up worse. There is a condition known as Traction Alopecia where you can dislodge good hairs when you tie it up too tight. If you have Pattern Baldness, the good hairs that you pull out will grow smaller and finer the next time, accelerating your condition.

You can read about Nioxin System 1 in my Product Reviews page here

Cheers!

Hai..so wad shampoo can stop hair loss then?

i wan order , but may i know the price 1st ?
wat is the differences btw rogaine foam n ROGAINE?

I need help. I have no history of loss of hair or male pattern baldness in my family. But in the past week, I'm starting to realize thinning of hair on side top left (nearly on the back). Then when it got worse and i took a picture of my scalp and saw the balding going on there... I had maybe inadequate sleep for the past week (maybe a little stress but not THAT stressed) but it didn't happen before when i had even less sleep! Its not in small patches and it only affects that part of my scalp. What's wrong with me?? I didn't anticipate this at all, and I'm only 19. Is this related to some thyroid related disease? I want some confirmation before going to a doctor because its really expensive here and I don't want to waste my money only for the doctor to tell me you'll be fine.

Dear Munk,

Shampoo can not possibly stop Pattern Baldness. However, if you are suffering from this condition I suggest you find shampoos that contain less chemicals. There are a lot of very harsh chemicals in regular shampoos like Sodium Laureth Sulfate, DMDM, DEA, TEA and phlatates that can be potential health hazards in the long run. Avoid those.

For hair loss sufferers, look for shampoos that coontain Vitamin B Complex proteins like Panthenol, Biotin, Aloe Vera and Rosemary. If you have oily hair, find those with lemon extract too. In short, try to find an organic shampoo like from Body Shop. It works well together with your other hair loss treatments.

Added on August 6, 2008, 12:45 pmDear Modric,

Rogaine will costs you around RM 180 for 1 months supply. You can get it in any major pharmacy. If you can't get it, consider getting Minoxidil 5%. Tell your pharmacist that you want Minox 5% and he will recommend you. Rogaine is also Minox 5% formula, just the brand name is more famous.

As what is the difference between the 2, Rogaine foam disperse foam, making it easier to apply while the normal one is liquid. But since you need to apply it to your scalp and not your hair, I find that the liquid one is more logical to use..furthermore it's a little cheaper.\

Added on August 6, 2008, 12:51 pmDear surferx,

Are you diagnosed with a thyroid problem? If you are diagnosed with either hypo or hyperthyroidism, then it may be a cause for your hair loss.. But since you are mentioning about reclining hair line on the top left and back, then it shows symptoms of early stage Pattern Baldness. Together with your age, most cases of severe Pattern Baldness will start at this age. Based on some diagnosis of a few of my friends, your situation might worsen further if you do not treat it. I strongly suggests you see a doctor soon or you can participate in my website's free diagnosis program for free.

I am currently arranging with my friend, a Dermatologist from Singapore to provide help and free diagnosis for hair loss sufferers directly from my website and the page will be up soon. I will keep you updated.

As for now, try getting Vitamin B Supplements to keep your hair thick.

American diet contains a lot of salt and meat..which can stress out your body. That is why most Americans will suffer from hair loss.

No, no there's no baldness on the back..its more like on the side left, i took a picture of my top scalp, and it seems fine. I will consult a doctor soon but where do I start? Just go to a normal clinic?

If that is the case, i don't think it's Male Pattern Baldness since your condition only appears to the left side. It's either Traction Alopecia or some other related condition like thyroid problems or some minor scalp infection. Do consult your doctor or a dermatologists ASAP.

Do you guys know any good Dermatologist in PJ Area? Need help !!!

I dun really know..try specialist centers..i think there are good dermas there...but usually they are all the same if you are facing with Male Pattern Baldness dude..

One thing I noticed is even a generic minoxidil is very costlly in Malaysia.
One banner in my blog below, the minoxidil (generic) is less than USD 10 a month and even you add in the delivery fee, it still cheap.
I think some pharmacies has overcharge for generic minoxidil here.

Hey guys,

What type of regular shampoo you guys are using for your daily use? I used to buy "Resurge" brand but seems like this brand is no longer available. The pharmacist recommended Himalaya. Any suggestion on good shampoo with less chemical?

bengang13
if u hv MPB...as long as u hv taken propecia...any shampoo which is mild will be good
I use Audace PH shampoo plus selsun blue...but i beleive most mild shampoo will be good...no need to buy expensive shampoo...

How to define is it MPB ? How derma is going to define it ?
I'm having hair loss and no idea how to solve it.

Anyone can help ?

thanks

MPB stands for Male Pattern Baldness. If you have a pattern of receding hair line that usually starts from the top of your head and the front, then it's classified as Male Pattern Baldness. Usually it will take a course of few years because you will notice significant hair loss. Check out my page on the Norwood Scale to find more information about the hair loss progress.
