hey guys.. every time i brush my hair for about 15secs, abt 3-5 strains of hair drops out to the table.. is this normal? My family has a history of balding shieks.. is it possible that i don't inherite the genes?

thanks.. no +1s k thx!! Sad

FireIce SG

3-5 strands is normal lah
if u are dropping/shedding more than 10 strands during each brushing then you have to start worrying

lifestyle and diet play a part too....
if u stress u oso can drop hair
if u eat too much salt oso can drop hair

aloof_guy SG

but its like.. everytime i use my hands to brush.. 3-5 strands..

once when i was waxing my hair, i saw abt 10 strands on the toilet sink.. was really really worried.. thats not normal right?

ChoCoChips SG

Y_Shun SG

aloof_guy SG

Why of all the hair must drop our head hair ? Why doesn’t it drop hair from other places ley ?

R3SsH|n SG

you are under stress..

mystee SG

actually is normal to drop 100 strands of hair per day.

do u have oily hair? danduff?

the only way to find out is to see a doc at national skin centre. dont waste yr time visit those hair centres. the docs at skin centre can determine your condition. better than worrying over your problem get a professional 2nd opinion.

mystee SG

but seriously.. if u are afraid of inherit ur family balding.. is better to check on any balding at any part of ur head occasionally.. cos is easier to cure it sooner than when the pore is closed & dead.. cos i realise the students in my course, thou’ they are very young,a lot are aldy suffer from balding.. but i dare not tell them, cos not too close to reveal this to them.

i had a friend when he was 20 he started to lose his hair. his forehead seemed to be higher and the crown on top of his head got less. ppl commented so too. he saw the doc and used regaine 3%, then upgraded to regaine 5%. when he was in army it was troublesome to use regaine. the doctor finally recommended him propecia worse come to worse transplant. now he takes propecia daily since 2004. Surprised

and at the same time my friend seek advice for his pimples and the doc recommend a cream. very effective. apply it at night and the scars and pimples subside. cos my friend suffer frm hair loss its inherited his dad start to bald in his 40s he use a special shampoo- pregaine.

hey thanks for your reply..

did pregaine really help? i mean if the top of your head is completely hairless, how would pregaine help? it seems almost impossible to grow hair out of nothing.

aloof_guy SG

how do i check if im balding? cause all i see is a normal centre..

aloof_guy SG

i use wax almost everyday though..

if your top of head completely hairless then u start to think of solutions i think its too late. the min they can do is to prevent or slow down hair loss. the best i heard is grow some hair.

aloof_guy SG

do you think i should go to national skin centre and see a doctor asap? its not very serious though.. how much are the fees and will taking their stuff to prevent hair loss have side effects?

bryanwong SG

can check out skin ctr website. one of the side effects of propecia is reduced sex drive
