So in summary, finesteride gives only short term effects.
Once it loses it's effect, a gust of wind will blow all ur preserved hair away. haha

Hi guys,
If only i can also shave bald to face the public.. :(
I am a female (25yrs old), and i am facing hairloss problems.
I realised that my hair is getting thinner & i can visually see the "white" scalp more obviously each day.
Even if my hair-stylist tells me that my hair is evenly loose throughout the whole head, but more obviously on the middle part where the hair spread open on its on "hair parting".

I think its time for me to go something serious abt it.
I just made my 1st step out to schedule an consultation appointment with NSC.

But i am not sure what he can do with female balding.. (btw, my family does not have such genes)

Any opinions for me?

Thanks.


imho, i tink go NSC is a waste of money. i went before and i feel they are very unprofessional. and its quite a hefty sum to pay especially if you go there and they do nothing much. unless, ur case is areata then they maybe will do injection.

btw, anyone know where can get boar bristle brush in singapore? search very long leh but cant find. is it all pet shop have?

Do you remember how much u spent on Beijing101? and for how long?
What is ur hair loss type then? Male Pattern Hair loss?

BJ101 does not help on MPH?

Why dont you think of using minoxidil?

i tried minoxidil many years back, i dont remember it grew my hair but
i do remember it grew hair on my face and hand.. :o

My hair loss is male pattern loss, so BJ101 doesn't help.

I'm afraid to try minoxidil as I cannot afford to go through a shed. My hair is already very thin, if I suffer a shed, my scalp will practically be seen.

Moreover I have used minoxidil in the past and I get itchy scalp.

Nowadys I get so obssessed with my hair that sometimes I feel very depressed.................:(

I have read their articles last year too, but somehow there is no more report about their trial since..
Stem-cell research in hair regrowth is still very new and but i wish their research can be succeesful..

After years of thinning hair, i finally went beijing 101 for consultation last sat (26th jun 10). The hair scan showed that i've got a oily scalp and the crown area was left with 1 to 2 wispy hair at each of the hair follicle. I can also see that alot of the hair follicles were clogged. She, the consultant, then showed me the hair scan of my back area which was still full of hairs and there were about 3 to 4 thick hairs in each follicle.

I'm suffering from MPB which is hereditary from my dad. I'm 31 this year and my crown is balding more obviously than my hairline which also is receding quite badly. I don't remember my dad had MPB when he was around this age.

She said that my crown area still have the chance to grow as the follicles are clogged badly but is not totally "dead". With treatments, my hair follicles will be unclogged which will allow the hair to grow and at the same time the tonic will "shield" the root of the hair from the DHT which is the main cause of hairloss. She did mentioned that the hairline might need longer treatment to have significant result.

Therefore i signed up for a S$58 trial hair treatment which include detox (remove the oil clogging the hair follicles), hair treatment ( spraying of the hair tonic and head massage) and infra-red to improve the blood circulation. Yesterday was the trial treatment. (28th jun 2010).

After the trial treatment, from the hair scan i can see that the oil clog at the hair follicles seems to be not as oily as before the treatment and the pores opening up (due to the infra-red which heats the whole head and opened the pores i suppose). The oil clogs are still not completely clear. (Its only the first treatment anyway) and my hair smells like herbal chicken soup. :/ Hope it don't smell after a shower in the morning.

Its slightly more than 4 months till my wedding date. My girlfriend and i decided to take up a 6month package which costs 3.6k paying installments over 24months. Not the best of choice i know but lets hope this treatment will show some results by then.

Sorry for the long post. I'll try to update the result with each treatment i received (next 1 is at 3rd july). I know alot of people have said that their treatment doesn't work and will say that I'll be wasting my money but whatever the case, I've already signed up with them. I'm not advertising for the company nor am i in anyway affiliated with them except for being their customer. I just hope that my upcoming posts will help people to clear the doubt of whether these hair centers and all their various forms of adverts/ articles are a scam or will they really help with restoring the glory to the crown.

You take take pictures of your hair...the top, front, side.
every month...and you will see any differences.

personally, i don't trust these so-called "herbal" therapy...
since i'm in the media line.

Advertising photos can be decieving.

3.6k:( haiz... that more then 10years of treatment for myself. MPB got nothing to do with clogged pore or blood cirulation.

anyway, congrat on your coming wedding. with just 4months to go, i suggest you get some toppik. it work wonder.
