Thinning Hair problem

[germz]

Hey guys this hair problem of mine is really making me worry I dont know if its a sign of thinning hair or malnutrition.

Im 23 and currently in the uk studying in the uni (about 6 months). I am not having Trichotillomania but isnt there something wrong if I can pull it out with a bit of force, esp the sides? I also realize that the follicles looked kinda smaller than before(I'm trying to explain the best I can, so sorry if you dont understand or find it funny)

And no I dont see any fallen hair on my pillow when I wake up everyday

Is it because Im im not having proper food nutrition or because my body is dehydrated? To be honest I buy take aways most of the time. Right now I've stopped eating junk food as much as I can and start drinking fruit juice and water

Just a wild imagination: My friend did a hair cut for me with a shaver the last week and he kinda pulled my hair quite a bit Do you think that might be one of the reasons?

Any advice or symptoms I should take note of before I really go consult a doctor for it??

Seriously thanks for anyone who cared to help

What minoxidl does is to prolong the growth stage of your hair, and thicken it. In other words, it sort of like prevent your hair from thinning or dropping. However it does not prevent the cause of hairloss which is the dihydrotestosterone.

For example, if u spray minoxidil on your balding scalp area, it may slower down the hair thinning and falling rate, and grow new hair if your're lucky. But since minoxidil does not cure the cause, scalp areas where you did not use minoxdil will eventually starts to thin and fall.

The only medicine that prevents the dihydrotestosterone is Propecia. It reduces the dihydrotestosterone in your body and thus prevent any hair loss. But the side effects such as impotence, erectile dysfunction, decreased ejaculatory volume are another major concern for us guys.

For both minxodil and propecia, they are meant to be taken on long term basis. Once you stopped the medication, hairs gained will starts to fall and your hair loss will starts to return. If i'm not wrong, the cost of minoxidl and 1 month supply of propecia is SG$50+ and $98 respectively in polyclinics, which is pretty expensive in long term.

To really find out more, you should consult a doctor.

Sadly, there isn't cure male patten hairloss yet. I really do hope researches can make a break through in finding the cure.

I think you should a consult a doctor rather than speculating, clear your doubt once and for all. Just explain your concerns to the doctor and check if your're suffering from male patten hairloss, malnutrition or injured hair scale. Its always better to diagnose the cause of your problem before doing any self medication. You will save money and effort in the bigger picture.

This is a big misconception in S'pore.

It's outrageous, BeiJing101 have cheated so many customers and now they are spending all the customers money to advertise in MRTs, Bus Stops.
They use force selling techniques to make customers buy things they don't need.
They use scare techniques to make customers feel insecure and start buying cheap and fake items at extremely expensive prices.
Don't fall for their trap everyone!
Even my friends say they are fakes!

Till date, alot of hairloss research have been done worldwide and over 1000 of comments have been made in this forum.

It is good to know that a lot of researching are still on the way. Yet so far the only workable solution (depending on individual) appear to be

1. Proscar / Propecia (Not for woman)
2. Minoxidil
3. Hair Transplant

Hope that those suffering from hairloss do not fall scam to unproven products as well as over-spend testing them.

The problem can only be diagnoized by a specialist who knows exactly what your scalp problem is.
It takes time to understand and a few checks to know what's wrong.
Most of the time, alot of factors are involved.
Rushing into buying packages does not help and taking long term drugs can cause other health issues.
So stay wary of any hair solutions from the retail, they are out there to rip you off.

Hey guys,

decided to do something about my hair. Its thinning at the vertex although it is not especially obvious, it has caused barbed remarks from hairdressers.

Although they have stopped showing me the back of my hair after haircut. Must be trying to save my feelings and embarrassment.

Am interested in buying minoxidil products if any bros are selling. If not any good recent products
to recommend that I can buy over the counter. Unwilling to buy online yet as I am just starting out and want to see if its suitable.

hi,

im new here, the reason why Im posting here is becoz of thinning hair too. Its gonna be a long post, pls bear with me. here just my simple story, i think is last year started, when i went cut my hair in one of the $10 shop the auntie suddenly told me, on top my head (crown area ) a losing hair and showed me too, i got no worry last time I used to have thick hair and hence tend to neglect to take care of it maybe, ask my friend or my family they say dont have, but i see it like have abit,

i was worry keep thinking so i end up going to yun nam to tell you the true IS NOT WORKING, i dont know maybe not for me, but i end up paying fewK around one year now, and now problem still have or worse, i noticed when i wake up i find around 10+maybe hair on my foor and another 10+ when shampooing my hair everyday, still the same and now dont know why sometime my (crown area)will be itch too, and my scalp can be seen when hair is wet, but still can cover, try few shampoo (like BA WANG), go polyclinic to c n referral me to NSC but on 31/MAY so long la, but i see other clinic too, DR say u dont have but give me propecia, i try one month+ now, like still the same,

just two weeks ago i went to the Eileen TAN Clinic too, saw my hair say that i scalp is abit redness like dandruff, give me some scalp lotion, and say i m male patten hair loss but very early stage and recommended me what moss cream say can help to maintnce like why u brush ur teeth everyday, and style ur hair, but only can give me when my redness is over, review next month

dont know what is what already, see here see there on the net, wait one say this, wait one say that, if not buy this buy that, money, money. very very sian..... already, BTW i m 29 this year

Many thanks for those who's reading and pls provide me some advise. I;ve been feeling stressed and down on this matter. MY hair used to be so thick
