There is no doubt that our hair is our crowning glory.
And a lot can change with the way we look only if we find the right style for
our face’s shape, complexion, and facial features. And when people say, “bad
hair days”, it actually entails a lot of things—and it may mean some serious hair
issues are about to unfold.
Styling our hair right is not the only challenge we women
may face in this lifetime. Some of us can experience hair loss, too. Yes, you
heard it right, even women’s hair can recede, and hair fall out will likely
happen when we do not have a healthy scalp, when we don’t eat right, or sleep
on time—and when we are living a highly stressful life.
Candice, who opted to go for a female hair loss treatment in Singapore,
shared, “There is no shame in seeking help. While I believe there are natural
ways to treat hair fall, I don’t have enough time to always keep a steady watch
of what I do with my hair. Truth be told, my usual morning routine is so messed
up because I always rush to get to work and it’s hard to wash my hair properly
when all the nerves in your body are screaming at you to move quicker so you
won’t be late for work. So I just thought that a hair loss treatment and asking
help from experts was in order. Instead of self-medication, I wanted to know
what is really causing the hair loss, and I wanted to make sure the remedy is
not just something I read online.”
According to Charlene Laino in the article Expert Q and A: Fighting Hair Loss in Women: An interview with Mary Gail Mercurio, MD. posted at webmd.com, “Female-pattern hair loss, which usually has a strong genetic component that can be inherited from either the mother or father. Also referred to as androgenetic alopecia, this type of hair loss can start as early as the late teens -- and the earlier it starts, the more severe the hair loss tends to be. Most women with pattern hair loss don't get a receding hairline or bald spot on top of the scalp as is common in men. Instead, there is visible thinning over the crown. In men and women, hairs are miniaturized because of a shortened growth cycle where the hair stays on the head for a shorter period of time. These wispy hairs, which resemble forearm hairs, do not achieve their usual length.”
Sheeley, who also tried a hair loss treatment in Singapore, cannot contain her happiness after the treatment, “It has been
months now but I still feel the need to say thanks, again and again, to those
people in the centre who helped me regained my confidence. It usually happens
to us that we feel ugly and inadequate when something is not right with our
body. It affects our confidence and that can make us feel weak too. So, we
don’t perform in work or in school or on our social affairs the way that we
usually do because we think something is not right with us. So, I believe too
that we should take care of our self, our hair included to keep that confidence
alive. And I felt it was only right that I do not pretend that nothing is wrong
with all those hair strands that leave my scalp every morning when I brush my
hair. I am very much satisfied with the treatment I got that I recommended it
to my friends and aunts who have problem with thinning and breaking hair.”
