Dear Low Yatters,

I know many Malaysians out there are facing with certain hair loss problems. I was once a sufferer of hair loss since i was 19 years old. My father is bald and so are my uncles..so I think fate will surely come to me..I went through treatment from all those 'local' speciallist shops that are found in the newspapers..(I don't want to mention names here). The 'hair expert' told me that she cannot promised me a full recovery but can only maintain my hairline.

For that promise, she expects me to pay RM 10k for no guarantee!. Of course she can't guarantee me..no one can..but i was desperate so I paid. Nope, didn't work..10k down the drain (can buy Sony Viao Laptop for that money) The only way you can survive hair loss is that you help yourself. I have done tonnes of research to help myself and now it's working. So I want to share this information with you. (You can buy me a drink if it works for you) brows.gif

It takes more effort than just Propecia and Rogaine and yes, I am still using both of them. But you need to change your diet and lifestyle as well as taking certain supplements that contains BIOTIN (Vitamin B Group). B Vitamins are very good source of energy for your hair. If you change and adjust your lifestyle a bit (I still go clubbing) you can really stop hair loss. Also don't expect your hair to grow back in 3 months, if you have serious hair loss, it will take months and years for recovery..

When i had hair loss, it was a total confidence meltdown for me, very (SUSAH) even when i go out everyone was looking at my head. Even want to court girl also cannot. But now after 10 years of research and looking for the right solution, i've cured my hair loss and got the girl of my dreams!. No one is looking at my hair now!! Hey, I am not selling any products here ok, but I want to give my fellow Low Yatters and Malaysians a way to handle and cure hair loss. No products, just methods and understanding on how it happens and ways on Surviving Hair Loss!

You can see further on my website. All the best to all the sufferers!! icon_rolleyes.gif

Calvin

Transfer factors are tiny messenger molecules that transfer immunity information from one entity to another, such as between a breastfeeding mother and her newborn infant.

T+1, male pattern baldness is reversible..if you use hair styles..it will only last for years till all your hair falls out. If you can afford it and have patience..i can suggest a few products for you to stop hair loss..provided your stage of pattern baldness is still early. Let me know if you are interested.

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 smile.gif

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. cry.gif

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.. shakehead.gif

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

thanks! icon_rolleyes.gif

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! icon_rolleyes.gif

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.

Dear 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.\

Dear 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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

thinking of sex has nothing to do with hair loss man...however if you are thinking too much of sex...it means that you have too much hyperactive male Testosterone known as Dihydrotestosterone..the main cause of Male Pattern Baldness..so you see some people that are sex crazy are more exposed to MPB...

Yup this is a great shampoo...Biotin is a very important hair vitamin under the Vitamin B complex group. You can see my article on this product in my Organic Shampoo for Hair Loss Page

Can you please write a review about the shampoo to let people know what you think of the shampoo?

Actually even Vitamin B can help, but you still ned to know what is the root cause of your baldness.
If MPB, it is still best using Propecia

Dear Cyclone,

Definitely seems like a clear cause of MPB. For maximum effectiveness, you can try reading my Preventing Hair Loss as well as hair loss treatments (Men hair loss) at the bottom of the page. Generally for conditions in Malaysia, you can try using Propecia (you can only get it through a prescription from your doctor) and also Minoxidil. Both of these medications are effective for stopping pattern baldness.

Just make sure that you are ready to start with this regimen because you are not supposed to stop once you begin, or the hair will fall off. Also Propecia is a controlled medication, please don't let women touch it. If you would like me to know more about your condition you can PM me or mail me direct at calvin@surviving-hairloss.com

Try drinking plenty of water and try Vitamin B Complex Supplements. Viviscal is also a very good product that helps to boost growth rate.

Try getting a shampoo with Chamomile and Lavender which can help with the itch. Probably some antiseptic shampoo like Dettol too can help with the itchiness. If you have dandruff, you can try Nizoral, works both with the itch and dandruff. Take more pure water and sleep early everyday can also reduce itching.

2500mcg in one tablet vs 4x600 mcg, difference only 100mcg. Quantity of tablet is not an issue, look at the total dosage you're taking. So you can take 4x600 mcg. In fact like that you can split the dose, e.g. take 2x600mcg at lunch and 2x600mcg at dinner, which some people feel is better for absorption.

How much is the biotin you bought?

Hi there..it really depends on your condition. if Propecia alone is not effective for you you might want to reconsider to add in other treatments like supplements and rogaine. Sometimes if you are facing with moderate hair loss you will need to use more medications to treat. If you are not losing hair while taking Propecia for 6 months it's actually a good result because your hair is not thinning. Try adding in Vitamin B Complex supplements as well as Minoxidil in your regimen to help boosts hair growth. You should be able to see some regrowth after a few months.

Hello. Higher doses do not mean faster recovery time. Our body are limited to the amount of nutrients we can absorb, so if you take too much you will only be wasting it. Further to that, excessive consumption of Vitamins can in reverse cause more hair loss because it will take more energy to filter and reject excessive intake. So you will need to take what you need. Nothing more or else you might end up worse than before. Take it easy, don't go overboard, nothing happens in a day or two it takes months or even years for recovery. Consider other options like changing your lifestyle and eat a healthier diet instead.

Rogaine is not a shampoo and also not a tonic. It's a medication used to treat low blood pressure and helps reduce problems with hypertension. It's method of action is to open the blood vessels in your hair follicles to enable better blood circulation. It also stimulates the androgen receptors to grow hair...

the most effective way is using propecia,minoxidil 5%,force urself sleep early..eat healthy...dun give urself so much stress....
but pls lah..
dun assume today i use these two things...then after two week i can c the result...
after u use propecia and minoxidil 5%...need around 2 months or 3 months to c the result ...if u can..buy a net to cover ur toilet hole....after bathing...u go to count how many hair on there everyday..and record it...then u will realized tat first two months,the amount of hair will be increased..but dun worry...they all r unhealthy hair...after two months...it will be decresed ...trust me...pls dun go to any hair loss center,like yun nam..they just noe to cheat money

my experience---

last time when i start to take propecia...after one month..i realized tat my hair loss problem become serious and serious...i felt worried and ask myself y still drop so many hair ... i think maybe the propecia is not effective to me then i wanna stop to take propecia...but after i went to c a doctor...the doctor asked me continue to take propecia...he said first two months we r very hard to c the result ...but after 3-4 months..the problem will be fine...then i listen to him...continue to take propecia and minoxidil 5%..after 3 months...then i really realized tat if compare v first month,my drop hair have alr decreased...recording is a best way to c the result...luckily last time i have listened to the doctor..continue to take propecia...i am very confident if i continue to use propecia and minoxidil 5 % ..my hair loss problem will be cured... icon_rolleyes.gif

and this three months i oso forced myself sleep early and eat healthy...i realized tat when today i sleep on 1 am...then 2moro my drop hair will be increased when i am bathing...again...recoding is a best way to c the result...

Yup. you are right. I also wondered. This was what the hair care consultant told me. She has captured the screen shot for me. According to her, there is a white layer called keratin has blocked my hair pore. My hair scalp is oily and cause me hair fall.

Well you can always ask for discount..Find a smaller pharmacy and ask. I think the lowest i bought is around 160...you can also ask for other brands besides regaine like Head way..It's the ingredient minoxidil that matters and not the brand of the product. The end result is the same.

Thanks for your comments vincent...I am not an expert..just a hair loss sufferer lucky enough to get my hair back..spent a lot of money to learn my lesson the hard way. One thing is for sure, if you want to get your hair back, UNDERSTAND YOUR CONDITION FIRST. If you just simply buy stuff and use without researching, then you might end up worse or wasting money. So please please lowyatters if you have a hair loss problem, take some time to read and understand first..that is why my website is up..

hey guys.

i am 22, and right now, i am currently suffering a hair loss problem..

its all started a month before puasa, when i was assigned as a temporary assistant of waste coordinator in my workplace.
the job requires me to handle the scrap and waste (weigh and record). the waste consists of rubber compound mixed with chemicals.

i can say right after that, my hair falls 'cheerfully'..my hand will be full with hair during shampooing.

right now, got big spot with seldom hair at my right side of the head, and now its expanding and getting bigger to the back.

is it caused by chemicals? or is it because of stress?
my family has no history of genetic hair loss problem.

what should i do? plz help.

thanks

Hi there,

You can try..if your hair loss is not that serious Minoxidil can do a lot of wonders alone..no need to take Propecia..but I suggest you to take some Vitamin B Complex supplements too. Will definitely help a lot.

Kalakatu...your situation is definitely not genetic related. It can be trigger by exposure to floating chemicals that can actually hurt your scalp as some rubber mixtures can be very corrosive. If you think that the environment is too harsh, put on a cap..and eat more supplements to boosts your immune system. As for your spot, i have no visual confirmation but it might be caused by an allergic reaction if the hair loss is sudden an apparent. If you think it's not normal see your doctor right away.

You can try taking Vitamin B Complex to help improve your hair quality but I guess it won't do much for your as your case might be related to an allergic reaction to the chemical. Drink plenty of water instead and try something to detox your body like making a detoxing fruit drink regularly. Carrots and celery are a good choice. I am suspecting you might been exposed to chemicals that are absorbed into your body. Since you are not used to it, your body can trigger a shock to your hair follicles causing it to fall out suddenly. It's known as 'chemical induced hair loss'. Do a quick self examination to see whether it is the case. You can do a pull test.

1. Use both your thumb and third finger.
2. Grab an area over your hair. (100 hairs or so)
3. Give it a tight pull (not too hard but hard enough like you trying to pull a magnet off from a fridge)
4. Check and see whether there are any hairs falling out.
5. If there are more than 15-20, then you are definitely in a period of follicular shock
6. Check to see whether the bulbs (root of the hair) is whitish or black.
7. If it's white then it's ANAGEN Effluvium meaning medical triggered hair loss like chemical exposure. Black then it's Telogen hairs.
8. If yes, then see your doctor immediately and tell your boss about your condition.

Your hair is an indication of your health. Unless you are facing with Male Pattern Baldness, you shouldn't be losing hair. As I am not there to actually have a look at your head, I cannot really pinpoint the problem but use this as a general guideline. Hope this helps.

Your derm is right..ketoconazole is used to treat oily hair and dandruff. Dandruff is in fact cause by a boom of a common scalp fungus. So ketoconazole has anti bacterial qualities that can actually contain the growth of the bacteria. You should use the shampoo for a month to see if there is any improvement.

You can try other cheaper brands too..sorry i don't have time to research the other brands but go watsons and elsewhere to have a look. The main thing is to look at the ingredients to make sure it does not contain chemicals. Not all shampoo that says it is organic actually is organic. You have to avoid the harsh chemicals.

I have been searching around in local small pharmacies and it seems that they don't sell Biotin 5000mcg for that matter. Many outlet pharmacies can only recommend Vit B complex. Besides GNC, any other places that sells Biotin in such large dosage?

I also read Propecia side effect can cause Erectile Dysfunction sad.gif
Wonder if it happens to all males taking this medication.

And i heard taking supplements of female hormone such as Progesterone can help too? Cos it will balance out the excessive male hormone?

Try shampoo that contains Biotin and Panthenol. Glycerine also helps to thicken the hair. The main thing to look at when buying shampoos is to read the shampoos purpose. If you just want a thickening agents these are the best volumizing ingredients around. But bear in mind, you will have to continue to use it to maintain the thickening effect but that does not mean your hair won't fall. Your hair will look fuller for a while but as it gets thinner it will look bad too. So if you got hair loss, treat the problem from the root, not the top only. Cheers..

Well just to clarify, Propecia MIGHT cause reduced libido..which is different from Erectile Dysfunction. Ur 'brother' can still work fine but Propecia reduces the libido (Lust) for you to want.

I also don't recommend men to take female hormones or else you might end up AHEM...so just Propecia and Rogaine are great combos enough. Vitamin B Complex has enough biotin in it so you won't need to take high concentrations of Biotin.

hi,im 20..
i got hair loss n hair thinning problem since 16. now the prob is more significant,so is stop applying hair-styling products.

i can say i have a stresful lifestye bcoz of my studies(not a very smart student) n i seldom excercise.
i've been using a sls-free shampoo n it drops oli a few strands of hair (5-15) per wash,it'll differ smtimes.
but,when my hair is rili oily i found out it drop more during shampooing. so, nw i shampoo twice a day n it drop less. i think i'm the oily hair type.

i feel that my hair is thinning on the top,almost near the back part.can see the scalp.i've cut my hair short before(almoz like sami),i feel my hair thickens but the part is still thinning.i got tried a few tonics but no significant result and i scared it'll damge my hair n scalp instead,so now stop using.

so, i heard zinc and vit b is gud for hair loss. how often should i take it?

what should i do? any advice? And any products that can help me combat this problem? should i go see a doctor or dermatologist?
sorry tat i asked so much but im rili confused by this hair problem.. cry.gif

Do your father, mother or close relatives having same problems? If yes, then its genetic then its hard to fight the hair loss.

As we all know, hair loss most common causes is the oily scalp+stress ...

My recommendation:
- Use Audace for oily scalp Shampoo (White color bottle with green line), it really clean your oily scalp...
- Apply good hair loss lotion like Himalaya, or any good brand and must massage ur scalp for 5mins
- Yes, must take supplements. Take Zinc, B Complex, Omega3, Horse Tail, multivitamins supplements. U can find all in one at pharmacies
- comb your hair frequently
- less chilly/coffee/oily frieds food
- sleep early
- exercise can lower down your androgen which help to produce DHT

Since you still young, try not to use minoxidil and finastride which could give side effect and once u use it, u must forever use it...

I just started doing above suggestion with using Himalaya revival hair lotion, hopefully within 2 weeks can c result... I taken photos of myself to compare for every 2 weeks. If fail, then no choice have to use minoxidil...but not finastride as it have side effects on sexual health - ED, i dun wun to take risk as I wan child in future... lol

Guys,

1. If u have hair thin, take more protein..faster way, supplement...coz u have malnutrition
2. Some cause by a germs inside the hair pores, so u drop a lot
3. If u have oily hair, the oil can blockade the hair pores, thus in long term, it become a skin.
4. Styling ur hair too much can damage the hair roots...or u dyed ur hair often...unless u do treatment for ur hair all the time which i can see very costly....

I had it too... 1 and 3 are my issues. Now my hair is thicker d. This is self-experienced. For 2, u need to go see a specialist to check on it under microscope... Hope that can enlighten ppl here...

my friend, who is a girl, is using the himalaya hair treatment thingy.
she has been complaining that it doesnt work. she has spent quite a bit on the many products of himalaya for curing hair loss but currently, nothing much has happened. it has been close to 3 months. and, himalaya guaranteed improvement within 2 weeks if i'm not mistaken.
but also, it could be her diet or other factors which cause the lack of results.

My hair problem solved now, after change back to Sunsilk normal shmpoo in 1 month time.
I swear i will never use those conditioned shampoo again, will spoil my sculp and cause serious hair loss problem and new hair hard to grow. Hair line will fall back dramaticly within 1-2 months.

Those conditioned shampoo will make your hair smooth, manageble, shine, anti-moisture or straight, but it have potential to cause follicular shock, create dandruff problem. Better use those mild shampoo, less stress to your sculp.

Do more exercise and massage your your sculp to improve blood circulation, it really works. After massage you will feel relax and easier to sleep, so its very useful.
Cut those oily, spicy, high preservatives food. Stay health and your hair will grow back. icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks Boonies,
Now new hair is easier to grow and less hair fall problem, but still need time to let them grow thick.

Here's a vid to share, its a comedy, but i think what he said make sense.

start from scene 4:30 only (other is joke).

Seriously, recommended ALSO to get the Biotin supplement. It's scientifically proven to help on hair growth and prevent more hair loss. Written in all the articles in health websites and wiki. I got mine from jchong. Efficiently delivered and good service. Should get the 5000mcg to be effective in the supplement. 600mcg or 2500mcg are not effective enough.

He did not get the shampoo. It was a biotin in pill form which you eat as a supplement. The item is this one.

The ingredients of Hairback

Content :

* Rosmarinus official extracts.
* Ascorbic acid palmitate.
* Natural plant oil .
* Natural vitamin E.
* Denatured ethyl alcohol.
* Deionized water.
* Rapture.
* Proteins.


Basically there is some rosemary and plant oils that have totally no benefit on hair loss. This product is not a cure for hair loss. I do advise spending your precious money elsewhere instead.

By the way myhope, you should try a good anti dandruff shampoo like SelsunBlue to help control the oil. Make sure you apply the shampoo directly on your scalp and leave it there for around 2-3 minutes before washing it off.

I would recommend u use either seba Med or Audace for oily scalp AND Kao Merit for Men (with Zinc and Oatmeal which reduce itchiness)

Wash with Seba Med and Audace shampoo first then rinse your hair. After tat, wash again with Kao Merit and let it cool for few minutes with massaging you scalp.

Try for 1 week, c got improvement or not. Both shampoo are soap free and php5.5 which suitable to our scalp.

Stop eating heavy fried food, coffee and chilies for 1 week and take more Zinc + supplements. For shampoo only, both together not more than RM30.

seba med ok...audace no comment...but not agree with Kao Merit for men and this Kao Merit contain the Lauryl sulfate which actually damage your hair...dun simply mix a few shampoo to make the cocktail treatment...all these commercial hair shampoo which contain lauryl sulfate (see here for more info) can damage hair even they claim it ph5.5 or soap free~ doh.gif

Glad to know that your hair is growing back again. I am not sure about the Himalaya Hair Revival Cream but i am pretty sure the supplements you are taking has very positive effects on hair growth. Your picture does show some slight improvement over the hair line but maybe the flash in both photographs are different. Still it's good to know that it's working for you. Keep on with the supplements and you will be getting somewhere with your hair loss.

Went to a dermatologist. He prescribed regaine (5% minoxidil) and a tablet and foam medicine to reduce pimples on the scalp. However he did not prescribed propecia. Should i go back to him and get the propecia as it is known to work better than regaine.

Was on a multi vitamin b supplement. Should i continue it?

There are certain perceptions that make us think, men with hair are better looking, while most of us thinking like that, there are some in the society defy that way.

Look at this picture and please open up your mind. My only point in here is to make you guys realize, there are alternative way, and different type of thinking.

Piece of advices, with a little bit of addon to make you complete with that body, tattoo and piercing does wonderly. Have fun.

Well maybe he thinks that your situation does not requires Propecia. Further to that you should just try Regaine first and then consider using it together with Propecia. If you situation is kind of serious then you might want to ask him for Propecia.

Minoxidil is a growth stimulator that has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration as the only 2 medications that have been proven to treat hair loss. It stimulates your potassium channels to go overdrive and forces your hair to grow. However, Minoxidil is not that effective in the frontal part of the scalp compared to Propecia for some unknown reasons but using both together is the holy grail to hair loss.

Hmmm...if you have dandruff there are a lot of types of shampoos you can use actually...like Neutrogena T/Gel, Selsun Blue...but since you got pimples too you might want to try Ionil T which contains salicylic acid that is the same ingredient that is used for treating skin acne. The stronger formula is very effective. By the way to know how you should apply it visit this part of my site - Dandruff Shampoo

Hi boonies,

How much dosage do I need to take for Biotin per day?.. plus Vitamin B-Complex? Do I need to add in others like Zinc in my daily supplements?

Do you think I should start with the propecia and minoxidil? I'm not sure whether I should start with this since I read that it cause side effects and some who used it didnt even have any changes. Btw, minoxidil alone dont cause side effects right?

I read somewhere that you are going to open a shop?..? When is it, think better come to your shop better.
*
Terces the recommended daily amount for Biotin is around 150mg. You can take more than the normal rate like 200-300mg or 500mg but overdosage will only lead to waste as your body cannot absorb that kind of amount of biotin. Actually, i strongly suggest you see your doctor to see whether you have any deficiencies that you should consider before taking on the medications because sometimes there are other factors that can cause hair loss too.

p.s. lol thanks for your support, I am not opening an physical shop just an amazon shop to make some commissions online..since u guys are malaysians i advised not to buy there because you can get some of it locally for much cheaper...anyway here is the shop if you want to look at it... Solve It!

ooppsss..sorry all quoted supposed to be in mcg...must have slipped my mind..however for your info, it's reported that it's safe to even consume 100 mg of biotin daily as this vitamin b group does not cause any side effects in studies. But still, it's recommended to take the daily amount as recommended by FDA

Yes tomato..because at any one time 10% of your hair is in the Telogen phase, so if you pull real hard it's normal to lose 4-6...if more..then uh oh..

Well if you see your hairline is receding, or the hole in the center of your head is getting bigger then it's sign that you might be facing hair loss.

Wah lau...one round how long leh?

One round will usually take 4-7 days to fill up. From there another 7 days for the stuff to be delivered. So you'll probably get it in hand about 2 weeks from now.

Edit: boonies, I can now put you in Round 10 (which is in the process of collecting payment for ordering). I sent you a PM yesterday. Please confirm if you'd like to go ahead. Tq.

I noticed hair fall about a month ago. The hair roots are black in colour. However the thing is the hair fall are not only from the scalp. Hair from my eyebrows are equally fragile. So they should be in the telogen phase. So i suspect i might have telogen effluvium.

Telogen effluvium is the condition where the hair moves into the telogen phase drastically. But after that, the hair follicle goes back to a growth cycle into the Anagen phase back right?

Since telogen effluvium is caused by stress. Is there possibility to reverse the hair loss without medication.

Those that have MPB or androgenic alopecia takes propecia. Do those suffering from telogen effluvium take propecia? It's a big commitment to take propecia for the rest of the life.

Dear tomatoes...if you are having Telogen Effluvium, there is no need to do anything much because usually after a period of shedding your hair will grow back and return to normal and you will be okay! Just try to reduce stress and you will be fine.

Dear smacky, brushing your hair correctly does help stimulate your hair follicles a little but in terms of faster regrowth, that is left to be answered. Maybe there is a very small improvement in growth but too much brushing can also damage your hair and cause split ends. So do brush your hair if you will but don't expect that it will grow a lot faster. However, if you are facing hair loss, brushing your hair won't do much help.

Dear Tomatoes,, Telogen Effluvium is sudden shedding of your hair while Androgenetic Alopecia is gradually patterned thinning of your hair line..TE usually happens out of a sudden and in huge numbers till it's shocking.

I noticed that the hair fall is sudden roughly a month ago. A month ago there's only 1 or 2 hair on my pillow when i wake up and now theres like 3 to 8. I can only notify that the hair falling comes from the front and somewhere else as the hair on the front is much longer kept. However there is entirely no sign of receding hairline. However there is a patch on my back where i realise the hair count to be less.

What could be the effect if a non-androgenic alopecia patient takes propecia? Will hair fall be worse?

Btw i'm 19 years old.

Thanks for the reply.

3-8 hairs are not really an amount to be overly shocked about. Unless you noticed like 100-200 hair falling daily, then it's not Telogen Effluvium and also not signs of Androgenetic Alopecia. I don't recommend any medications like Propecia for your case. What you should do is to monitor your situation as it might be just a slight shedding caused by minor stress or just some traction like scratching.

You shouldn't need to do anything unless you feel that the shedding is becoming worse of your hair is thinning considerably.

I am new to this forum. I just want to ask. My problem is that I having 3 severe bald patches, 2 at the centre, and 1 at the middle front of the head. I am having a M pattern male baldness. What should I do? I am so afraid that it won't growth back again. However, since young, my mum told me that my hair aren't that much if compared to the others. My hair follicle grow far away from each other but i do not wish to be bald so early. I consulted a dermatologist in Malacca, he gave me some vitamin pills, some cream, and pills. I stopped taking it since a week ago because it seems to be useless. I have been taking this medication for one month. Any suggestion for me? Anyway, I am just merely 18 this year..

So it's all about Vitamin B? Does it stop hair loss or does it make the thin hair thicker again?

I'm a lil paranoid about what my hair might become in the future.

Looks like Male Pattern Baldness to me. Actually it will take at least 6 months to see results. As I am not sure what the derma gave you, the basic treatment for MPB should be Minoxidil and Propecia. So you should keep on taking them for at least 6 months before you decide whether it's effective for your case. Also supplements like B complex can help.

Vitamin B is food for the skin and hair. It helps with hair growth and can also nourishes your hair but it does not stop Pattern Baldness. So if you are just facing some minor hair problems or dull looking hair, then Vitamin B Complex is a good enough choice to make temporarily to help with your hair problems.

If you are having a receding hair line, take action immediately because the later you start, the harder you will be able to recover. So start considering treatments if you are facing Male Pattern Baldness.

Hi,

I don't use Rogaine because it's hard to find in Malaysia. I use generic minoxidil 5% like Regaine or Regrow which have the same active ingredient like Rogaine. Basically they are the same thing. Just ask your pharmacist for Minoxidil 5%

Looks like you might not be having male pattern baldness since white cream are usually anti fungal cream and corticosteroids like cloderm helps stimulates your immune system. Your condition might be related to some other hair loss related disease like folliculitis or an auto immune scalp infection. The only way is to handle this matter is to follow your medication routine according to help stop the problem.

Hi,

You do not need a prescription for generic minoxidil or rogaine..but you will need one for Propecia. Just ask for minoxidil or rogaine over the pharmacy.

By right, you do not need a prescription for Propecia because Malaysian pharmacies usually just want to make money but bear in mind that Propecia is not for everyone. That is why it's a controlled medication. People facing with blood pressure problems, liver problems, kidney issues and other medical conditions like allergies should always consult a doctor first before using this medication because the side effects can vary from person to person. So just double check first before taking for you own sake.

There are actually multiple generic versions of Propecia namely Finpecia and others. Most of these generic counterparts are usually made with license after the patent finishes and usually made by manufacturers from india. For long term, the costs are worth considering into these alternatives but I am not sure where to purchase them at the present moment.

As for the higher dosage, it's known as Proscar. which was the original Finasteride that was made to treat prostate cancer. It contains 5% Finasteride opposed to 1% of Propecia. So if you want to save costs you can get Proscar (via prescription) and then cut it into rought 4 parts and take it each part daily.

Hi TS,

I have been suffering from MPB for abt 6years which brings me to 28 tis year...Would like to hear some advise from you...

I have tried Rogaine/Regaine, Minoxidil & even propecia for up to 1-2 years for each product... But it seems that it is not working....
I gave up on it...(Maybe i am not a patient guy)

How long would it take to see results? I understand it may varies from other ppl... lets say on average...

Seriously, i gave up... Now Zinedine Zidane and Andre Agassi is my role model...

According to the survey there are small percentage of people suffered low sex drive after taking propecia. I visited a doctor before and asked the same question. He encouraged me not to take propecia if I'm planning for a family better. Not so much of the side effect. But he just worry if things didn't turn out well. You always get blamed for it ... smile.gif

That's why I'm using only minoxidil 5% now.

For those who are new. And wanted to know where to get minoxidil 5% or propecia. You can get the actual info from my blog.

Hello,

Well actually sebamed is a good shampoo for an oily scalp. Shampoo with lavender and tea tree oil are also great for controlling sebum (oil) production. Get a mild shampoo like an Organic Shampoo that you can use daily and safely too without any synthetic chemicals like SLES or parabens.

As for you question on why you lose more hair when you don't wash it frequently, it's because usually after every wash a certain amount of hair will fall off due to the friction. These hair loss are perfectly normal for everyone because these hairs are dead hairs, also known as Telogen hairs. So sooner or later it will fall. If you never wash your hair for a few days, you should notice a little more hair loss than normal because of some hairs that are not dislodged during washing. There is nothing you should worry about.

Hi Boonies, i would like to try generic Minoxidil 5% too, how much it cost in phamacies?
Although i read from wiki, it might cause some side effect, but i will give it a try.

I only worry that if i uses minoxidil to stop hair loss for a length of time and then stops taking the drug, hair loss will occur again.

let me point this out

changing diet is certainly the answer but... study what u eat! smile.gif

like the chicken nowadays in malaysia fully loaded with growth hormones

that can cause Hormone Imbalance...

and Biotin is good Niacin is also good for the hair

just my 2 cents

Hair loss had been my nightmare since 5 yrs ago.

By using Rogaine, I'm recovering slowly. From 1 hair per folicle to 2/3 hair per folicle. But those are baby hairs, I think it take 1 or 2 more yrs to become full growth.

how much is the treatment in SJMC cost you?

I used to go to Ranjit Skin Specialist and it cost me RM 2XX for pills only.

It does work but hair grows all over your body and not only the head.

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.

Dear 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.\

Dear 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.

I'm currently using Audace shampoo and tonic. Bought the twin pack. I can see significant reduction in hair loss. Not sure about hair growth. Still new and continuing to use it. However, the tonic is rather smelly la. I can't use it during day time because I travel with public transport. Other people sure can smell

If it's not possible after all the hair treatments, is it that bad going bald for men?

I would say that Propecia and Minoxidil are currently the only effective way to maintain your current hair and promote growth. It's also fairly important to remember that you will need to stay as healthy as possible to improve your hair growth.

Smoking, late night sleep, salty food and lack of exercise will increase hair loss. So although Male Pattern Baldness is related to DHT, other factors like these will hasten the process.

Use Propecia to stop the DHT accumulation and use Minoxidil to accelerate growth. Don't waste your time on other hair loss products that do not work. There are so many other hair loss products on the market but NONE can guarantee REAL GROWTH because the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) only currently approves 2 medications for hair loss. Stick to what the doctors said and you will see results. You can also try the laser comb if you have the budget as it will help with a thicker hair. It's also cleared by FDA to be beneficial for treating hair thinning.

Spend your money elsewhere on unproven treatments will generally result in a much lighter wallet and faster thinning hair. In the meantime, there are still NO PERMANENT SOLUTION to stop Male Pattern Baldness. However, new technology like Hair Cloning is about to happen and soon in our lifetime we might be able to finally get a cure for hair loss.

it's very odd that most of the people looking for some miracle way to help reduce hair loss. Why don't we buy a bottle of saliva to drink after talking for so long and saliva is dried enough. Why don't we buy a box of hairs to eat to help on hair loss problem?

and Why the babies do not have to eat something miracle or use something miracle to grow their hairs? All you need to do is to increase the amount of particular material that use to build hairs and reduce the rubbish material that stop the hairs grow.

As a general guideline...usually guys use the 5% and the women uses the 2% and please stick to the regimen if not the medication will not be effective. Do not discontinue use or skip using if you really want to see results. It's important to be disciplined when using this medication.

Guys, I'm planning to get a shampoo for oily scalp but at the same time I want to get a biotin shampoo as well.

Is it okay for me to use biotin shampoo in the morning and oily scalp shampoo at night?

I washed my hair twice a day.

Or should I use the shampoo alternately?

I scanned my scalp before and it's very oily and been told to wash it everyday with oily scalp shampoo.

Usually one bottle is around RM 100 and it will last you for 1 month if you follow the instruction. Do not over apply because it will not make your hair grow faster!

Hi everyone,

i just found a supplement called Procerin which is claimed to block DHT without reacting with testosterone like Propecia, meaning there will be no no sexual side effects.

Procerin

Does anyone have some knowledge about it? especially on the ingredient

Propecia tablet ingredient

Cheers!

I would say Himalaya is also a good shampoo..but bear in mind it's not an organic shampoo like a lot of people think. It's good for daily use if your scalp and hair does not need special attention but please, it won't be a great use in helping to promote hair growth.

Anyone using BF1 Hair treatment product ? My friend currently recommend me to a saloon and beside buying the product, i need to go treatment every week . Cost me almost rm500+ per month but i still see minimal effect after almost 2 months.

Is it normal everytime i wash my hair, i lost around 10-15 hairs ?

Some link to BF1 product . http://hair-growth.bf-1.com/?cat=9

And if anyone using this product, i would like to ask some instruction how to use the hair tonic. Bottle instruction ask me to rinse after apply it for 15 minutes. But saloon fella ask me apply it , and dont wash out.

Most pharmacies carry Generic MInoxidil or cheaper alternatives like Regaine 5% and also Regrow 5%. Topway is also another minox but it's more expensive than the 2. The price should not be more than RM 100-110. You got to bargain and try avoiding big pharmacies, go to the small ones..

Biotin, is vitamin B.
Also known as vitamin H or B7, its a water-soluble B-complex.
You buy any vitamin B complex, it will contains Biotin inside.

Biotin supplements are often recommended as a natural product to counteract the problem of hair loss in both children and adults. The signs and symptoms of biotin deficiency include hair loss which progresses in severity. Some shampoos are available that contain biotin, but it is doubtful whether they would have any useful effect, as biotin is not absorbed well through the skin.

If you have a careful and well balanced diet, then there is no need to supplement everything there. All you really need is vitamin B complex and keep your diet balanced and you should do fine.

Bought Centrum Multivitamins.
Will get back to you guys on the progress.

Honestly, I don't know my diet is healthy or not tongue.gif
Rice twice a day...lunch and dinner.

Stopped eating chicken skin.

If Centrum still does not help...maybe will add Biotin with it.
Centrum only got 45mcg of Biotin.
Suggested is 150mcg.

If you are facing Male Pattern Baldness, then supplements alone WILL NOT be sufficient since the reason of the hair loss is related to accumulation of Dihydrotestosterone and genetic defects in certain area of the scalp. Therefore, i must stress that the best treatment is DHT inhibitors like Finasteride.

There are also a lot of alternative methods you can consider so do take a look at the information found from my website.

This is usually meant for sudden hair loss cases directly related to stress where even though you don't use any products at all, after the period of shedding, your hair will stop in a few months time. It's a gimmick because sudden hair loss also known as Telogen Effluvium is a temporary condition. As the product states, it does not work on genetic baldness, meaning Male Pattern Baldness, that most men face. So this product is not going to do much except reducing the weight of your wallet.

Hmm, my hair growth is suddenly interrupted, it's not dropping yet not growing...

So, I'm thinking of trying Minoxidil 5% and Organic Shampoo and Vitamin B.

Can I buy Avalon Organics Shampoo from local retail outlet?

And what happens if I include exercise? I stumbled across this info mentioning that the hyped Testosterone( or something like that) will indirectly cause hair loss.

Thanks

I applied it during the night and rinse it the next morning.

The thing I don't like is, it makes my hair oily without shampoo.

why use protein shampoo? Don't think u go to hospital and buy few chok of hairs to paste on ur head.

everything like hairs, nails, our body can produce their own if we provide enough protein, vitamin, minerals. so drink or eat protein.

You can buy REGROW or REGAINE Minoxidil 5% at most local pharmacies for around RM 110+. As far as i have tried all minoxidil formulas are very much alike. Remember to ask for discount because the initial price can be quite different...Stick to one pharmacy and you might get better prices after a few times..

I wish. Setup a website from MAL and have a majority of your subscribers from north America. These guys are stacking(like hardcore bodybuilders) their 'meds' to improve their outcome or reduce further loss if you prefer.

Even Regaine are difficult to get in Malaysia.
Rogaine foam...need to buy from overseas.

But pharmacies do sell other brand of minoxidil.
I bought it once.

But that time, did not mix with supplements.

Will buy minoxidil one day.

Currently on vitamins B complex and Audace shampoo and hair tonic.

I have tried minoxydil people,

Let me just say it might slow down baldness but definitely not prevent it. And at the end of the day you're gonna end up with a bald head and around ..oh I dunno, like 5000 dollar down the drain? I think it costs 350 per bottle or more.

U can get cheaper ones if you scout around small pharmacy shops. The franchise pharmacies are selling them much more expensive. FYI, i got propecia for only RM153, oppose to RM200++ at other major pharmacies.

And not all old people will end up bald.

I've read the clinical research on the effects on Propecia and that most feared side effects is only 5% of the total sample count.
So far I'm still OK with that... the desire to DIY is still there... *touch wood*

Dear Low Yatters,

I know many Malaysians out there are facing with certain hair loss problems. I was once a sufferer of hair loss since i was 19 years old. My father is bald and so are my uncles..so I think fate will surely come to me..I went through treatment from all those 'local' speciallist shops that are found in the newspapers..(I don't want to mention names here). The 'hair expert' told me that she cannot promised me a full recovery but can only maintain my hairline.

For that promise, she expects me to pay RM 10k for no guarantee!. Of course she can't guarantee me..no one can..but i was desperate so I paid. Nope, didn't work..10k down the drain (can buy Sony Viao Laptop for that money) The only way you can survive hair loss is that you help yourself. I have done tonnes of research to help myself and now it's working. So I want to share this information with you. (You can buy me a drink if it works for you)  :hehe:

It takes more effort than just Propecia and Rogaine and yes, I am still using both of them. But you need to change your diet and lifestyle as well as taking certain supplements that contains BIOTIN (Vitamin B Group). B Vitamins are very good source of energy for your hair. If you change and adjust your lifestyle a bit (I still go clubbing) you can really stop hair loss. Also don't expect your hair to grow back in 3 months, if you have serious hair loss, it will take years..but I've also got a temporary solution to that (PM me if you want to know what to get)

When i had hair loss, it was a total confidence meltdown for me, very (SUSAH) even when i go out everyone was looking at my head. Even want to court girl also cannot. But now after 10 years of research and looking for the right solution, i've cured my hair loss and got the girl of my dreams!. No one is looking at my hair now!! Hey, I am not selling any products here ok, but I want to give my fellow Low Yatters and Malaysians a way to handle and cure hair loss. No products, just methods and understanding on how it happens and ways on Surviving Hair Loss!

You can see further on my website. All the best to all the sufferers!!  :peace:

Regards,

Calvin

I think tonic just to make hair grow faster.
In a sense where the folicel are still ok.

Currently using Audace tonic.
I don't think it's working sweat.gif

Maybe will use minox + finastride lah.

Tonic is a mixture of a few types of solutions for treating a certain condition. As for hair loss, the word tonic is widely use to symbolize hair regrowth or revival. Well, at the present moment, I don't know a tonic that actually delivers what it states when it comes to hair loss.

As for your link... Kirkland Minoxidil is not a tonic but instead a FDA approved topical solution for treating hair loss. It comes in 2% for women and 5% strength for men. It's scientifically proven to be able to help grow hair due to the fact that it forces your hair to grow. For your information, there is ONLY 2 FDA (Federal Drug Administration) medications that are effective for treating hair loss. So if you want to apply a topical treatment, Minoxidil 5% is the most recommended and proven choice. Don't buy special tonics because you will only be wasting your money.

I recommend you guys buy finastride.
Either Proscar or Propecia.

This guys is 39, but he succeeded getting his hair back.

Gosh So much info! I stopped at the 14th page .. my eyes getting sore lol.
I'd just like to share what I found on the Internet, as I am female and getting thinning hair that it's scary! To make matters worse, this is not the best financial condition that I'm in, have to support my family etc, so I cannot afford any expensive treatments.

Here's my previous experience:

1. Reagen Shampoo - very good cleansing the scalp but I'm not sure about hairfall control. My scalp become less oily.
2. Reagen tonic/ Audace tonic - been using it religiously for 4-5 months.. No improvement.
3. Salon expensive serums - used once and soo strong smell. Was not really convinced. It had one product to pour on head before shampoo, and one product to pour after shampoo. No difference.
4. Salon treatment - also did once. The girl said even one treatment can see difference. No improvement whatsoever. Cost me RM99 :(
5. Mustika Ratu hair treatment - my friend said it worked on her. It made my hair slightly stiff and also no difference :( This one only cost RM10 and not nice smell.

What I read on the Internet:

1. Propecia
- For men only.
- Expensive (RM150-RM220/mth)
- Can cause loss of sexual drive or ED (temporary only - when u stop it goes away)
- The good effects will stop when you stop taking Propecia (my god! rm200/mth forever?)
- It doesn't work for everyone.
- Approved by FDA and proven to work (but not for everyone).

2. Rogain/Minoxidil
- Can be used by men and women
- Expensive (RM150-RM220/mth)
- Can cause itchy scalp for some and for some, worsen the hairfall problem
- The good effects will stop when you stop taking Propecia (my god! rm200/mth forever?)
- It doesn't work for everyone.
- heard that the Foam version works better
- Approved by FDA and proven to work (but not for everyone).

3. Others
- didn't bother to read much on others as they are not as widely used as the ones above and anyway, so expensive!!!


Then, I read about natural remedies. I was shocked at the many good responses as I started to read so many forums, local and overseas about it.
And the prices are so low!!

Natural Remedies - Oils

How to use on scalp:
* apply a generous amount on head before going to sleep. wrap head with towel or use old pillow case cos u don't want to smear your bedding with the oils. can be done daily, or 1-2 in a week. depends on individual.
*wash out in the morning.
* can also use as hair oil but use sparingly.
* can mix the oils or just use one type of oil


1. Castor oil
- a variety of health benefits that are amazing. It's used as base for many lotions and cosmetics used today.
- also a product in lash growing serums.
- read many good reviews (also in lowyat forums) on it's ability to thicken lashes.
- but it's very thick so a bit tricky to apply on hair. can mix it with almond oil, olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, safflower oil.
- castor oil cleanses the scalp.

2. Olive oil
- traditional method to use. Can also use mixture olive oil + aloe vera and put on head.
- great conditioner for hair.

3. Other oils - coconut oil, safflower oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, gingelly oil, amla oil.
- the most well known for hair growth is castor oil, coconut oil, almond oil, and amla oil.
- depends on individual scalp response to the oils. These oils also can be mixed and applied to scalp but you must research the side effects of the oils as not every oil work with every individual. that's why got so many choices. some people say castor oil make their hairloss worse but majority say castor oil works.
- coconut oil also can be used to cook or taken internally as it gives energy directly and not stored as fat.

4. Essential oils - to add in the above oil mixtures
- can also put essential oils in the oil mixture such as tea tree oil (to combat dandruff or fungus), or lavender. <-- must put very small amounts!!
- but i read that tea tree oil + lavendar combination can stimulate breast growth lol (not sure if this is true or not).

5. Aloe Vera
- can be mixed with coconut or olive oil

6. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
- like castor oil, it has a wide variety of amazing healing properties.
- can be used to rinse hair (must dilute 1part ACV to 7-8 parts water), also can mix honey with it
- can be drink (dilute 1tsp to 16oz water if not mistaken, please Google it!!)
- as hair rinse, it cleanses the scalp from product buildup, has antifungal antibacterial properties, promotes hair growth
- makes hair silky smooth after 2 weeks, at first it will be frizzy as it's getting rid of the products and the hair needs time to adjust
- as drink, it has many benefits such as energizing, increase energy, weight loss and promote hair growth.

7. Egg and honey
- didn't read too much on this as not a fan of putting egg in the hair (yuck?)
- also i think egg is expensive lol.


For all the above, suggested you google more about it as different item will suit different person.
I'm currently using coconut oil and castor oil but only 1 week, have to wait maybe 3 months ++ to notice any difference.
I'm just starting to use ACV as a drink and maybe later on will consider to have it as my hair rinse.

Items above pros and cons:

Pros:
Cheap
Natural
Good for health
Many other benefits aside from hair care
Doesn't harm the environment

Cons:
some smell a bit (like ACV)
does not have long shelf life
have to mix yourself

But with a little effort, I think it will go a looooong way.


Habits you must practise:
*Increase blood flow to scalp by doing scalp massage - google how to do it
*Learn how to handle your stress as it will restrict blood circulation on your neck and thus your scalp
*Healthy lifestyle such as
- enough sleep
- drink 8 glasses of water or more
- stop smoking cigarettes
- exercise to promote blood circulation
- good diet - must have enough zinc, iron, protein and other essential vitamins
- heard drinking milk also essential to promote hair growth
*Avoid too much chemicals on the hair - perming, rebonding etc
*Don't tie your hair too tightly
*Don't eat too much instant noodles and food with too much preservatives.



This is what I can think of right now and I hope it helps. For me, I will share my experience once I've constantly used these natural remedies for 6 months. Anybody can share their natural remedies and results here? So far the overseas forums are raving about it.

Malaysian men,

You may also try Zinc+B6 (eg. Solaray) which has been suggested to block DHT.

Available cheaply at pharmacies.

Get Proscar from Caring PJ Old Town, Cheaper per dose.

Has anyone tried buying Kirkland minoxidil from Ebay or Amazon?

Suggest that you get them online at cheaper prices and sell COD to all of us at slightly higher prices.

It's a win-win situation.

I don't use credit card.

If you are buying online, I'll be your first buyer.

Anyhow, P.M. me if you wanna know experience taking Propecia or you are getting Kirkland online.

Hey I got to know from Richard Lee, an MD in CA that:

Azelaic acid: a naturally occurring dietary component of whole grain cereals and animal products. It is the active ingredient in a prescription medication for the treatment of acne. Azelaic acid (0.1 to 3.0 mmol/l) has been shown to produce a competitive concentration dependent inhibition of 5-alpha reductase activity in human skin and is used topically to inhibit the synthesis of DHT in the scalp

Try buy it and apply on your scalp!!!

Next time they want to charge this much..ask them whether can guarantee or not? RM 3k is no small amount for most people. If it works then it's worth it but i can bet if you are facing with Male Pattern Baldness, then they cannot guarantee you anything even you pay 10k..

Better add finastride (fin) but buy Proscar and not Propecia.
Propecia (20 tablets = 1mg each) too expensive and last for 20 days.
Proscar (30 tablets = 5mg each) can last 4-5 months.
Since it's 5mg...each tablet can cut to 5 small pieces.

I used Rogaine foam (bought online from US).
A year...not much effect doh.gif
Should have add fin too.

Now on fin only.

So far, some people used Propecia/Proscar and got their hair back.

Can call pharmacies from Yellow Pages.
Ask then about the product and the prices.
Some needed doctor's prescription...some does not.

Mine, RM180.
Some might sell >RM210.

Proscar and Propecia are different brand name but having the same chemical compound finasteride in different weight. Propecia is 1mg and Proscar is 5mg. And you only need 1mg per day. Or 1.25mg per day if u cut the proscar pill into 4 pieces.

You can read the previous few entries.... i wrote the pricing there. And proscar is more cost effective cos u can cut it into 4 pieces.

I am using Regro too..so far no problem...you will have to use it for at least 6 months to see any positive effects..so stay firm and don't give up. Initially you should see more hair loss than normal when applying this treatment. That is because the minox stimulates new hair to grow from below and forces out the old one. So don't freak out ya...

In addition to that, if you have the budget, buy vitamin supplements too, Biotin (1000mg is good), varieties of Vitamin B and Zinc to help you out.
And of course... relax and drink more water.

but its kinna itchy..so think of switching to foam..
and rogaine claims d foam is 85% better thn d liquid..

Saw Palmetto (herb) Effective at blocking the formation of DHT and appears to block the androgen receptors which are found on the hair follicles. It blocks Type 1 and Type 2 forms of 5 alpha-reductase and has shown to be MORE POTENT than Finasteride.

Here some of the testimonials...though its worth to try Saw Palmetto + B-Complex intake since its cheap though. And it doesnt have any side effects compared to Propecia/Proscar or vice versa.

Saw Palmetto works too
found this ..from usa
Doctor's Best, Best Saw Palmetto Extract, 320 mg

Attached Image

some feedback on ppl..

This really works, October 09, 2007
By Penny Cummings from Texas
I am a female in my mid 30's and I started using Saw Palmetto Extract because I was experiencing hair loss and thinning due to hormonal issues (DHT) and I was also experiencing unwanted facial hair (Hirsutism) around my chin. I am only half way through the bottle and my hair loss has stopped and facial hair has not grown back. This product absolutely works. I take 1 capsule in the morning about 30 mins before food.

Very good, December 21, 2008
From Ohio
I started using this product a couple weeks ago as a DHT blocker for my hair and so far so good. My hair isn't falling out that much in the shower and the thinning spots seem to be getting a bit thicker. Also the flow of my urine is very strong since taking this. A great herb for many different things.

Well not really,if theres too much Vitamin C the body will excrete it through urine or sweat,since Vitamin C is soluble in water unlike other Vitamins which is soluble in fat. Theres no case of Vitamin C poisoning


Added on September 8, 2009, 9:47 pmHmmmm..anyway guys..does anybody know where can I can get a haircut in a saloon that experience with thinning hair/MPB case?

Saw Palmetto might prolly costs RM 20-30 for 60 days supply but bear in mind it's not yet proven effective against Male Pattern Baldness. If your condition is quite serious, look into more serious treatments..

Well I've done research on natural herbs for baldness problems and found some interesting stuffs..

1> Saw Palmetto : Used for blocking testosterone from being converted to
DHT (Same effects as Finastride)

2> Jojoba Oil : Used for hair,stimulate the blood circulation on the scalp and open the pores for hair to grow.

3> Coconut Oil : Same effect as Jojoba Oil.

These natural oils and Saw Palmetto have shown promise and cost effective compared to Propecia/Proscar and Minoxidil.

Take these stuffs and do some exercise(regularly) IMPORTANT!. Oh and take some multi vits and minerals. If you keep this up you'll grow in no time. Of course it takes time but hey so do finastride and minoxidil.

I've plan my routine and am getting started to execute it.

u can actually see d results as fast as 4 weeks.but tht depends on individual..
for me,it took me bout 2 months b4 i cud see any result..
i found tht foam is easier to apply n dry much more faster thn d liquid..
plus foam dont give me itchiness..which is totally great!!
i bought it in UK actually..

if u guys want kirkland also i can get it..

Hi guys smile.gif ,

I want to buy an ebook regarding ‘scalp expansion the real cause to hair loss – Here today Hair Tomorrow’ but it is quite expensive.
I’m wondering are you guys interested to share out?
Maybe one person RM15-RM20 ?? Total cost is USD24.95
I’m really really interested abt this book. If you guys have this book, I don’t mind buying from you.

More information about the book:

1. Beat Baldness And Restore

I also attached the free introduction ebook.

Let me know what you guys think? Regards notworthy.gif

----------------------------------------------------------------
Edit 05/10/09 - So anybody wants to share? Maybe a trusted forummer can organise on my behalf since I'm a newbie. Well 5 -6 ppl could share the cost very effectively. Please guys icon_question.gif

U need supplements also...like saw palmetto have proven to inhibit the formation of DHT thus preventing hair loss and even make it regrow,Biotin also helps hair regrowth,zinc and all the essential vitamins..
Also try combing your hair like 5 mins in the morning and 5 mins at nite,use a wide head combs like the on sell in Body Shop...Comb like that help promote blood circulation on your scalp and it also break down the excess sebum that clogging your pores,oh yea it also helps to open your pores making the hair grow freely

Depending on the type of hair loss condition you are facing, they might be able to help if it's not related to genetics of a chronic disease. Usually temporary hair loss conditions can be reversed and usually their successes you see on the newspapers are based on that. Still bear in mind most of these mild hair loss conditions can be reversed by itself so there is no need to spend thousands at hair centers.

Hi there,
Any hair centre around PJ around can check our hair status with free of charge?
My hair is falling off and it isnt thick as before, I used to have very thick hair during my secondary years. Kinda miss those days which makes me easier to style my hair.
Really need help here, i'm just 19 years old, thinking of going for hair checkup to see if there's problem.

From that distance, maybe the crown area?
Finastride could help.

There's this 39 year old guy who used fin, his crown has hair now.
Although his temple remains the same.
I'm mid 30's...frontal/temple only...hopefully it's not too late.
6th November would be my 3rd month on fin (Proscar 1/5mg daily).

I don't think that is the case...but maybe it has reached its peak performance...combining it with Propecia and other alternate treatments can improve its effectiveness than using it as a standalone product...

Hi boonies,

I'm 21 male and facing hair loss problem. I can see my middle back head at the hair circle there a bit less hair (I guess is call 地中海脫髮 ?) and also a bit less hair in left and right front head (like M). I have bought Audace hair tonic and shampoo, and use it for 2 weeks already.

However, I feel that my hair still droping when I wash my hair. Can see about 20 - 30 hairs droping. I feel that after using Audace hair tonice and shampoo, it doesn't look better but still the same or maybe even worse.

Any advice from you ?

As I see from your post, you mentioned Biotin. And I will try to buy it now. May I know is buy supplement in phamacy or buy some food which contain Biotin ?

If
Phamacy = which brand ?
Food = which food ?

Thank you.

Regards,
Yung Seng

Biotin any brand but i believe need to be high dosage, maybe like 1000mg or 5000mg? I bought those from there members here. Also eat vitamin supplements like Vit B complex and zinc.

As usual, avoid caffeine, smoke less, sleep more and tense lesss.

Yes there is Paul,

There are many products on the market that can help temporarily thicken the hair. Shampoos that contain panthenol, wheat protein and other source of protein can help temporarily give your hair a boost in size. Regular use of moisturizer can help your hair seal in more moisture, thus, thicker hair. My advice is that these products are only a temporary means in concealing hair loss. If you have a hair loss problem, the best way is to solve from the root of the problem.

By the way, to all my friends who are using Propecia or any other forms of Finasteride (like Proscar) for treating Male Pattern Baldness, I've created a simple a chart to my website http://www.surviving-hairloss.com/Propecia_Hair_Loss.html that you guys can pin on your wall to update yourself on the duration of the treatment and also the progress. It's free so just sign up my newsletter to get it smile.gif If you have any questions please feel free to mail me.. adios.. icon_idea.gif

Thanks boonies.
You're a godsent.

Some say fin would see results in 8 months or a year.
I'm adding minox as well now.

I'm using Proscar (5mg per tablet)
Which one is better?
Cutting it into 1/5 or 1/4?

I'm having Proscar too and from the shape of the pill, isn't it easier to cut it 1/4 ?

Hi.

Just bought Kirkland Minoxidil 5%.

Read the mini booklet.
Crap!

It won't help frontal baldness doh.gif
I have frontal baldness.

It'll only work with Vertex/crown baldness.

@boonies, what's your opinion?

Not to say it won't work...just not as effective as the top region. The front area seems to be more sensitive to DHT so finasteride is a better option to fight frontal thinning. A little scalp massage daily can help too.

Since I bought it, might as well use it.

Hopefully the fin (Proscar) that I took would see promising results after 8 months.
Some say need to wait till a year to see result.
Some lucky souls saw results within 3 months.
That would be the end of February 6th, 2010.

Do keep track of the duration of the treatment and also take before and after photos to see whether you are actually benefiting from the treatments. It's the best way to know whether it will work or not.

Hi,

Just want to share my experience.

About a year ago, my crown area lost too much hair until bald spots were obvious. I started to read about hair loss and yeah, MPB came into topic. I read Boonies' blog, a good and informative blog to know about it. I consulted a dermatologist and he said it's MPB. Frustrated, I took Propecia 1mg. At first I didn't know that this was a lifetime commitment. After I have done some research, I realize that it's a lifetime commitment.

I took Propecia for 4 months+. The first month, my hair shed so much. The second month, it became lesser, third and fourth month, the growth was magnificent. On the same time, I took a shampoo called Dezor which has ketoconazole (common shampoo for MPB).

The next month, I stopped taking it. To my predict, yes, my hair shed again. Frustrated with that, I analyze again my situation. After a month, I can see that my hair loss was steady. I began to research about my family history. None of us have MPB. Even my 40+ year-old-brother has so much hair, with very minor hairline receding.

Since 3-4 months ago, I took another approach by taking multivitamin with Biotin supplement. It turned out my hair was growing again, and till today, my bald spot is not visible anymore. To think about it, about a year ago, I was caught in bad fever for almost 2 weeks, changed antibiotic for several times. I predict that my hair loss was caused and triggered by those antibiotics that led to Telogen Effluvium (TE) - a temporary hair loss, because taking multivitamin with Biotin supplement grows back my hair. Biotin is a common supplement for the case of TE.

Till now I am still taking multivitamin. My hair loss is still there, but not that much, more like normal and the growing rate is rapid too.

I really hope that this is a case of TE. I know how all of you feel, when people are talking about your hair, you feel depress and lack of confident to face another day. People who never experience it will never know the feeling. They take it as a joke.

I am also disappointed that most of dermatologists nowadays are more money and business minded, they will only spend like 10-15 minutes to your problem without analyzing it thoroughly, and describe Propecia straight away. Sometimes, Internet can be your good doctor. Asking opinion around will lead to clues, and will blend to solution.

I would like to thank to Boonies for his informative blog and another dude who sets up his blog called "baldmanunited".

That's my story to share. I hope that all of you who are fighting for MPB will stay on right track and keep it positive, I know how costly it is to maintain the hair on top of your head.

Thanks biggrin.gif
