Need Help..Depressed Over Hairloss

last SG · 2010-07-09T20:30:35+00:00

Hi Dexter,My sister just like you, prefer a more natural way of treating her hair loss which she's had for the past year. Few months back, she went for Neeta...

What is causing your hair loss? You've spent so much on all those hair treatments...I'm sure you should have some inkling about what's causing it.

And wth are u talking about. There are people out there younger than you who are suffering from worse things. How dare you even think about suicide over a few strands of hair. Tell this to your mom and ask her to give you a few tight slaps.

If you're gonna stress yourself out over this...I can guarantee you...you'll go bald faster than expected. Genes may play a part in this...but there are ways to prevent it.

Taking drugs that alter your hormones WILL have side effects. In fact, they might just end up giving you "moobs" instead of doing anything helpful for your hair.

Instead of emo-ing over how "sucky" your life is, why don't you do something more constructive like researching on organic/natural ways of getting your hair back?

You've tried the chemical/medical treatments and obviously they don't really work. So no harm trying out some organic treatments.

Diet and Life style are big factors. Try looking into that. No point hoping for a pill or some fast way of solving your problem. Get working on it.

PS: I'll give you a tip, coconut hair oil is really good for the hair. Not only will it nourish your scalp, it'll help you hang on to whatever hair you have left. And if you're lucky....you might even get some growth. But you'll have to use it long term. One giant advantage is it's damn cheap and you can get it anywhere. Do your product research before you decide to commit to it.

go skinhead. it's really easy to pull it off, all u need is a toned body. so hit the gym!

n btw there r worse problems in life than this.

like what larry david would say, anyone can be confident with a full head of hair but a confident bald man? there's your diamond in the rough!

U suffer not because of your hair loss lah - it is cos u compare, have an idea (conceptualized models) of what .... should be and ought to be, if u can be rid of both of these aspects and live and u would be surprised that u really live.

If u can, unlearn the conditioning accept warts and all - that u are and just be. Without a mirror one still exists.

Otherwise, it is going to be agony and misery - a mainstay!

hey ppl i dono if i came to the right place for help but here goes..

i m currently 24 yrs old. have been suffering hairloss for close to 2 yrs. throughout this 2 yrs my hair dropped quite severely n now my hairloss is evident.

because of that i became very quiet n depressed. i seldom go out, turn down friends outings n became very paranoid about ppl staring at me (which they actually are). i feel so embarassed even by looking at myself in the mirror. sometimes i would cry at night and ask myself why the hell m i suffering this. in addition i have excema and a very pale lip complexion

to be honest, there are times i just want to end my life cause its so damn depressing and heartaching. why am i suffering so much at such a young age.

till now i have spent 8k on uselss hair trtments n though there is slight improvement, its too costly to continue n its not worth it cause my hair loss is still present.

i did my reserach and there is currently this drug that i can take with risk of side effects. frankly i do not want to waste any more money for hair trtment that are useless

currently i am deciding to shave complete bald cause i do have a relative buff physique from my exercise regime n diet. but i just cant do it cause its such a turn-off.

haiz..i need to do something but wad can i do?

Bald men are sexy. If you want to hide your baldness then shave your whole head. Why are you so shy? My friend's mother at her late 40s is losing hair and balding but she stand tall and have very outward personality. Go see a specialist, I don't know what kind of doctor treat hair loss but go see a GP first and ask for recommendation.

There is hair implant treatment but its painful and the hair looks a bit fake, people can spot it far away. So you mind as well shave your whole head, it is more sexier.

wear a wig la......

Chester_Lim SG

Why TS don't go to National Skin Centre to see the specialists there better right?

Get a referal letter from polyclinic will make it much cheaper too

wah then u choose whether u wanna take care of ur self esteem first or your studies. my friend dropped hair in his early 20s, pretty bad but he looks great with hair implants now. he was one of the spokesman for svensons. they asked him to front their ads and he got free treatment. perhaps u can offer urself to these hair companies.

1st of all , apologies for not replying to all yr replies

so far there isnt a proven, safe method to cure hairloss for good i think

to be honest, i do not feel like doing all these hair weaving , hair transplant solns

1st of all its not cheap.

2nd it doesnt solve the root of the problem... hair will still drop on areas where hair isnt trasplant and u need to transplant hair on that new area. this will go on n on until u got no more hair to xplant. end product is a very sparse , fake looking hair

i m actually not willing to spent so much on my hair cause its just not worth it. my prev trtment i spent at least 1/2 of my montly salary.

at my age i really have to save up not only for my futher studies but also for my daily needs.

xx_dexter_xx SG

stop spending money and shave your head. really.

and its quite a popular look these days!

and since you mention you're buff, look at the tons of guys who maintain this kind of look. jason statham for example.

ya thats actually wad i want to do. but couldnt bear to do it.

partly is because i m afraid i would look like a "cancer patient" . i do have pale lips from my mild anemia (thalassemia minor) cond. this isnt a health threat or anything but it does make my lips look pale.

being a botak i think is also a serious turnoff for girls.

i have asked from female friends i know of n read female dominated forums like flowerpod. and majority agreed that being botak is a major turnoff. its sort of a sign that something is wrong with the guy.

but of course being botak is much better than having a balding hairstyle

i have been to nsc specialist n they told me to go back think about it n come back if i want to take the medication.

so far the pnly medication nsc have is propecia, minoxid hair spray.

propecia- inhibit dht, dht if u guys have read play a important role in male reproductive function and probably affect my bodybuilding hobby since its after all testerone. have to take for life, results can only be seen after continuous usage for at least a yr .i m not willing to take this risk for the sake of hair.

n also it seldom cause hair to grow, wad it does is mostly slow down the rate of hairloss n at the best stop it. at my present condition, i would need to grow hair

minoxid- there is a initial stage of hair shedding. i already got so littte hair, if i shed n it doesn grow back, wad can i do? n also its know to cause dandruff n itch.

from wad i see. any type of approved medication n spray used to treat hairloss has side effects n contra-indications. there isnt a safe soln to hairloss

my friend's hair looks natural leh. Initially a little stiff but looks so natural now. Go offer yourself to their hair transplant companies and ask for sponsorship. But if it's not your cup of tea, then I'm afraid there's not much u can do against nature.

My dad started losing hair in his late 20s and he has never solved the problem even after 30 years. So there u go.

Eh hello, at least be glad that you are NOT a cancer patient yourself.

I once knew a girl from my JC who was given special permission to wear a hat. Why? Because all her radiotherapy treatments were making her lose her hair. Can you at least show some respect for cancer patients, and be glad you never had to go through what cancer patients have to go through?!?!?

And be glad that you are a guy, and that society is more accepting of bald men than bald women. If you cannot be yandao like Leonardo DiCaprio, then at least you can be yandao like Jason Statham.

Yes, some girls find baldness to be a turnoff. But some girls find it sexy as well. How did Wayne Rooney find a girl and get married even though he's already balding at the age of 24? If women can't accept your baldness, then they're not worth your time and effort.

And guess what..... compared to balding, emo-ness is a greater turn-off for women.

So get rid of your emo-ness already! It is a very serious turn-off!

why dun get minixodil 5%, costs only $55. u need to spray twice a day and can use for a few months. if not u can get propecia for $80-90 for a month supply, need to eat daily though.

minox has a initial hair shedding process where u drop yr hair because it forces existing hair out from the root. whether it grows back with better quality n quantity hair dpends on how well the patient's reaction is to minox. i already have little hair, i cant afford to ,lose even more.. minox is also know to cause dandruff n itch.

propecia has side effects..

Rooney9 SG

propecia has side effects..

that is rubbish on minixodil. propecia side effects is lack of libido lor

I'm a girl (ok la.. I'm a woman)

Let's put it this way:

Compare a totally bald guy VS a guy with is balding i.e. not yet bald but in the process..

I totally will choose the totally bald guy as looking better lor

Actually lots of guys CHOOSE to shave their heads for reasons other than hairloss.. - I think your insecurity (as Kuali Baba puts it) is the main problem for you feeling awkward about shaving your head bald.

Grow a goatee! Grow a beard!
