Weekly summary - 220/221th week -- Miracle Hair Expert

All of you may have known that I am a victim of Yun Nam HairCare scam. Of course, there are more than one Yun Nam Haircare that operate to con our hard earn money. For instance, Svenson Hair care, Beijing 101 and the new comers and start to promote aggressively is the Miracle Hair Expert.
While I am pretty sure they are just another Yun Nam Haircare where you spend your money and get no results I am astonished that they have outlets as much as Yun Nam as I can recall. That must be some rich businessman that spot the market and compete with Yun Nam and Beijing 101. It also shown that there are many people out there that still think this kind of haircare center can help to cure their hair problem. Thus, haircare centers can expand their business and covers almost every state and every urban areas in Malaysia.
I just read a deals in Mydeal.com.my from Miracle Hair Expert. 6 sessions of deep cleansing+ products or hair care set with a price of RM38. Of course the original price will be around RM700 (RM744 for the exact price). Thus, you can imagine the hair consultants will hard selling their package once the people who buy the deal step into their hair care centers. All sorts your hair problems will arise once they scan your hair even your hair is perfectly OK. They only get paid if you sign the hair treatment package that cos you minimum RM 1.5k to RM 10k. It is expected the hair consultant can get around 40% to 50% of the package as their commissions.
So, good luck for those who have bought the deal (Mine you that I am not saying Mydeal fault in this case, but we have to differentiate deals that worth to purchase.)

Weekly summary - 217th week -- Do u suffer side effects?

Side effects I refer definitely is for Propecia aka Finasteride. I guess many of us known that the side effects of Propecia but how serious is the problem? Some may be just lower thier libido a bit but has no problem to have sex with his partner. Some lost the sex drive totally . Most notably is the claim of some ex Propecia user still lost their libido or unable to get back to their usual self even after 6 years they QUIT  Propecia.
Well there are two stories of two sides, from MSD (Merck) and from Propeciahelp.com, an organisation that fight for the victim of Propecia.
Story from MSD side
Only 4% of the people prescribe with Propecia suffer a mild side effects such as lower libido. It is go away once the body can tolerate with Propecia or once stop taking Propecia. So, obviously, MSD said Propecia is pretty safe.
Story from Propeciahelp
They claim you are lucky if you do not suffer from any side effects. Most of the people that took Propecia will suffer lower libido, shrinking of testicle size and penis size, watery ejaculation and so on. The most important fact hat they point out is that , the side effects that people suffer are much higher than the MSD claims. European countries put the warning of the possibility of causing permanent side effects even they stop taking the drugs outside of the box. There are lawsuit in US and Canada that is on going for the victim of Propecia.
http://propeciahelp.com/
Well, I am neutral of both claims as I think it is not as serious as Propeciahelp.com claim but it is higher than MSD claim. I would like to do a poll again to get more accurate info from you guys.

Weekly summary - 217th week -- hair styling

I know hair styling can hurt my hair, but one of the purpose I work so hard to regain my hair is to have a chance to sty;e my hair like other guys, especially when I (or you) need to, agree?
Thus, I have bought some of the gel and was to style my hair. You will never know is it suitable for you until you gave a tried.
I tried Gatsby moving rubber which I think is a type of hair wax. The price is slightly higher but still acceptable. It keep my hair style well but it may make your hair a bit dry and eventually make you lose more hair. Ok to use it but not recommended to use everyday.
I also tried L'Oreal studio invisible gel. It is cheaper than Gatsby but it is not easy to style like Gatsby. Maybe it is type of gel, It is more moisturizer and make my hair is not so dry.
For us who suffered hair loss, the wax or gel that we use must not hurt our hair. I would rather stop using any product that will make me loss more hair. Period. No compromise.
 

Weekly summary - 217th week -- late posting, too busy

Gosh!!! What a busy week. I have to work late this week. When the day I can come back early, my modem is down and I have to buy a new one and set it up. Thus, this is the reason this post is late for a few days.
I guess, I can not stop chasing my dream job even I just join this company not so long ago. Money and dream, I must put it in a balance.
There are comments that ask about buying Rogaine or Minoxidil in Guardian that needs prescription. I have stressed that please purchase from Amazon as it is only a fraction of the price tag in Guardian and Watson. If you find it troublesome, I cannot understand why you not purchase online?
That's all for this week.

Weekly summary - 216th week -- best comments all these years in this blog

I have write these blog from September 2007, the first day I took Propecia 0.5mg. It has been over 4 years. 4 years is a long time right?  I really think it is but it seems like just yesterday. Luckily, I have seen some results after a long period with some (do not dare to said a lot of effort) effort and persistent of medication (Propecia +Rogaine).
Last week, I have receive a true readers who has recapped my progress all these years. He seems like remembered vividly what I have gone through all these years. I think I can not recall some of the incidents along my way.
Thanks Ree!!!Share with you all guys.

Hi Jason, I'm Ree and I've been your reader since 2009.

Congratulations on your successful battle against MPB!
OK, let's summarize your journey.
You first used propecia in September 2007 and after 2 years, no changes at all except that you did not experience further hair fall.
In May 2010, you decided to go with Proscar and Minoxidil regime.
Your post [week 139] after 6 months of your proscar+minoxidil regime, you noticed new hair growth.
Your post [week 140], a colleague who had not seen you in a long time noticed that you had more hair than before.
Your post [week 149], you did not use minoxidil for 2 weeks and you noticed your hair fall was more than usual. However, [week 162] when you were on a holiday for 1 week and did not use minoxidil, your hair fall was normal.
Your week 188 post stated that you did not experience any new hair regrowth for the past 2 months. You also mentioned that the best time for a person to see new regrowth of hair is the first 9 months, and that you have passed that period.
Your post [week 200] with your photos clearly showed that you have more hair now than your 2nd week photo.
So, it can be concluded that :-
1) Proscar + Minoxidil work for you, it means it could work for others too
2) Propecia caused you to experience low libido, an unwanted side effect, and doesn't really work
3) A person needs a doctor's prescription to take Finasteride, but not Minoxidil
4) Minoxidil is cheaper if you buy online

All seems good and promising enough to make other MPB sufferers to do what you do. Just one question, does taking proscar+minoxidil make you grow hairy chest? cuz I'm not keen on having hairy chest. Anyways, all the best to you and thank you for blogging your experience.

Weekly summary - 215th week

If it is possible, the business to sell Kirkland minoxidil 5% must be a good business. In lelong.com.my or lowyat.net, the local seller are selling RM 60 or above for a bottle where you can purchase with less than half of the price if you order from Amazon.com. Yet, there are may still prefer to buy from local seller due to their worried of the custom of Malaysia. I personally can ensure you that the possibility the item is seized is very low. It is all rumnors and the sellers are smart enough to claim it as shampoo in US postage.
The sellers mostly visit to US can buy from there themselves. They are mostly doing it part time as their normal job allow them to go US quite frequent where he or she can buy minoxidil cheaply in the local hypermarket and mail it back to Malaysia. They can earn 60% to 70% from the selling price.Good profit right?
It make me wonder if I can cooperate with some of the fellas who flies to US quite frequent so that we can create the win win situation....

Weekly summary - 214th week--judge my progress...

OK, you guys come and comment of my progress after 214 weeks of treatment. My original photos is in the below of the blog. You can always do comparison. A picture say a millions of words. I am not so sure is it telling you the conclusion of going to Yun Nam Haircare compare with Propecia and Rogaine. Yes, it is painful to suffer side effect, but you make your decision to have no result by paying RM 10k or get a result with less money or keep your money and do not do anything. Here you go..........

Weekly summary - 213th week

Pretty flat week to update you all.
More hairs really make people look younger, that is the fact. That is the reason why most of the guys are trying so hard to 'save' our hairs. Not only women like to look younger but the same apply to guys. We care of our looks as well.
Just 5 years back when I was 25 or 26, I am low self esteem as many of my colleagues said I looks like 30 years old. I feel bad of myself. Thus, I decided to take action to save my hair loss with a proper way (after throwing money in Yun Nam the scam hair care).
Now, with the new colleagues, most of the think I am 27 or 28 which is 5 to 6 years younger than my actual age. I lol when I am repeatedly being told the same.
The only bad thing is my low libido problem with Propecia. This is the only worried for me. Well, how good it is if there is no such side effects with I gaining some of my hairs back?

Weekly summary - 212th week -- Yun Nam win prize contest

Notorious Yun Nam is coming back with new tricks to lure more victims. This round, they offer cash prize to win. Click the ads if you are lucky to see it.
My comment of Yun Nam is never been positive if you have followed this blog for long. There are thousands of people being cheated by their advertisement and I am one of them. Thus, I will always follow their tricks and write it in this blog and hopefully people will be able to see it before they fall into their trap. Unfortunately, I may only save one out of 100 that fall into their trap as most of the victims never ever think to get treatment from them before but were persuaded by their pretty and witty 'consultant'. I hope you guys can at least promote my blog if you notice there are people that still think Yun Nam hair care can help to treat their hair problems.

Spot and win. Yun Nam will spot you, and win your money!!!!

Weekly summary - 211th week -- Surprise discount!!!!

Two items is related to surprise or shocking price.

1. Proscar is selling at RM 192.10 normally at Watson. But...but..I got a 70% off on last Saturday due to the last unit they have in the store. Lucky....The price is only RM 57.60. Unbelievable price, right? The bad news was, You are not going to buy the control medicine like last time. They will practice just like Guardian where you need to show your prescription from doctor. Thus, you are going to show your prescription for Propecia and I certainly can guarantee you will face lots of question a young man who want to buy Proscar.
2. Kindle Fire...Though I have never think of buying a iPad 2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab, but Kindle Fire which feature Android as an OS is just selling at USD 199 compare with iPAd 2 USD 499. Yupe, iPad 2 may have higher specification but so what??? I think Kindle Fire will just push down the market price and attract people like me (I only buy when the price is right type) to buy a tablet.

Weekly summary - 210th week --Too Tired

I have been damn busy recently after changing to a new company. I feel tired to learn a lot of new things and pressure starts even the first week of my job.
One thing that make me even more stressful is the new colleague suffer white hair and hair loss. Almost half of the colleagues n their 20s and 30s suffered white hair. I think the figure will be even higher if included female that dye their hair. The people that suffer hair loss might be lesser but consider that it is at a higher rate. I can presume that my new company environment is only one word, sucks....
Even most of the girls there is not available. Haha, no chance for me even for some fantasy.
Ohh..it is too tired for me now. Report to you guys later.

Weekly summary - 209th week -- Hair loss guru in new company

What a co-incidence, I have a new colleague that is using Propecia and Rogaine/minoxidil regime and he is asked by many colleagues how he has regain his hair. Not only male colleagues who suffered baldness himself but also female colleagues who ask on behalf their love one.
Conclusion, Propecia + Rogaine is certainly works although it does not work as magic. My colleagues start using the regime since 2008 which is a year later than I did. I can see his result is pretty good too although I can not compare his condition before that. I see so many people impress with his result, I am quite sure the result is obvious enough that everyone can notice it. I have used Propecia 4 years ago and Rogaine/ minoxidil 5% 2.5 years ago. I think it is god enough that not many people realize I have suffered hair loss like my colleague as well.
There are more people who willing to give minoxidil a tried after his advice. He does not advice the to use Propecia although his opinion is that using both will give a better result but either one may enough to work. Unfortunately, I can not disclose that I am one of the men who used Propecia and minoxidil and can not advice any of them. I would hope that they would know how to Google and they can certainly find my blog.

Weekly summary - 208th week

I have been in the new company for the second day. It is really stressful right on the first day. What make it worse is the shedding of my hair started again. Additional with the pressure and likely to cause me more hair loss, I think it will be the challenging period to me.
I believe those who have follow my blog has know that I wish to move to a new  job for a long time. I have looking for the business strategy or corporate planning or venture capital related jobs for a long time. I mean really a long time like two years. Can you imagine that? I really think it is hard to find a jobs I mentioned above.
However, I need money to survive and thus have to continue my job in technical although I have no passion in it. It is higher paid for about 15% but the job required long hours of working. I hardly imagine my previous Japanese company is shorter working hours that the liberal US company. Plus, those coworkers in this US company (for the department in this two days), really stay back for nothing. They chat a while and do their jobs a while and then go to pantry a while. May be I have get use to the Japs style where you work non stop but when the job finish, you no need to be an actor or actress and can go back straight away.
I always heard the Australia working style is the best, work hard during working time, but stop after working hours. I mean we have to have time for ourselves and family, right?
Anyway, God, help me landed my dream job, please!!!I want to do something I have passion in it....

Weekly summary - 207th week

There are a lot of "traditional way" to treat your hair loss in the market. I do not dare to give an answer to women hair loss as I am not a woman and there are not many female readers visit my blog. However, for the men out there (you are lucky as you read my blog), I can almost guarantee you, non of the "traditional way" is worked. Even it works, it may only apply to a minorities and may be it is just plain lucky or fluke.
Why? I pretty sure almost half of the men above 30s suffer a certain extent of hair loss. Thus, it will be a big news if something of the traditional way in fact can cure hair loss. It will be the biggets news that will be publish in the newspaper and we will all aware of.
So, you no need to ask whether those nutrition pills or shampoo will help for your hair loss. If you want to regrowth your hair as some of the advertisement do, you will deeply disappointed. If your target is just to reduce hair loss or slow down a bit, you may lucky if those products really do. Conclusion, I do not believe it will works as I tried before I make up my mind to use Propecia and Rogaine. I regretted I started late, wasting my money and most important the better chance to regrowth and save my hair.

As Promise, Rooney latest photos. It reminds me a writer in the Star who recommend this blog said I have to monitor the progress of Rooney's hair transplant progress in a sarcasm way.

Weekly summary - 206th week -- Selamat Hari Raya and Happy merdeka Day

It is a festive season no doubt. Everyone is in the holiday mood.
The oily food, please reduce the consumption if you already suffer from hair loss.
This apply to spicy food as well.
In shorts, take care of your hair even it is in the festive season. You may not recover the hair you lost as your consumption of Propecia and Rogaine will not help much.
Please be more active in this blog or in the Facebook page where a lot of the male pattern hair loss people can share their information. I do notice a lot of people join my group to promote some herbal thingy for hair loss. While I can not stop them, you guys please think twice before you make a decision to purchase. You have to know the risk of losing your money but also time and more importantly it can make your hair loss even worse.
Final words, use the proven method to treat your hair loss and you know what, Propecia + Rogaine. If you afraid of the side effect of the Propecia, you at least must use Rogaine. You you shun of both, you should not visit this blog anymore.
Yupe, do you guys notice Wayne Rooney hair after hair transplant? I will post his photo next week.

Weekly summary - 205th week

It has make me lazier to write in this blog. I have to spend more time in doing a blog using Wordpress. I am learning how to setup a blog in wordpress. However, it is like 10 times harder than using blogger as I need to find a free web hosting and need to upload the wordpress file before start using it. I am still figure how to do as I stuck at how to install wordpress. I have try x10hosting and 000webhosting. It is sad that 000webhosting is upgrading their Fantatisco (If you know to make website, you will know), so like x10hosting I have to do it mnually and stuck in the middle. If any of you guys know how to upload manually to a webhosting, please teach me. It will be nice if you have step by step in pictues to guide me as I realy not good in setup webhosting. i am learning anyway.
Back to the hair loss. My hair condition has been pretty stable for at east 3 months. that is the reason I seldom mention it anyway. You will get bored right?
Himalaya Shampoo + Propecia +Rogaine/ minoxidil, this is my regime currently. Just a guide for you guys.

Weekly summary - 204th week -- Propecia, do not buy online

To cut my advice short, Propecia, buy from Watson or guardian. It ay be a bit more expensive than you buy online, I believe you just do not want to harm by the medicine you consume, right? It just not worth it. If you think Rm 180 for Propeica is too costly, buy Proscar (5mg) and split it into 4. It can reduce your cost of 66%. I have repeated the similarity of Proscar and Propecia in my previous post, thus not much elaboration here.
Proepcia may cost side effect that almost all guys fear, the lost of libido. It can make you do not have a good erection during sex. I am not sure how many people really suffer this. Please leave your comment here if you are using propecia.
For Kirkland minoxidil 5%, Rogaine or women Rogaine, you can just bought it from Amazon.com. It is much cheaper from pharmacy and some local seller. If even local seller get their source from the same source as you, how will you get a cheaper price? Of course, if you want to use it immediately and do not want to wait, that is another story.

Weekly summary - 203th week

Well, more people has join the hair loss Facebook groups recently. Yupe, I have switch to a new format which is easier to me to trace the comment and also you guys has a better platform to interact with each other. Although there are some advertisement form the members (I think this is unavoidable as this blog got a lot of junk comments and force me to make some restriction in dropping me any comments)
Thus, there are more people to answer some of the old questions, like Beijing 101, Yun Nam haircare is effective or not. This kind of question, the members will answer for you. There are also some nutrition vitamin, that will help our hair. I do not use any f them, thus, I may not be the right person to give you answer. The members in the groups may share their own opinion with you.
There are currently 180 members and the groups is much more active than last time. If you want to join, just click at the link here.

Weekly summary - 202th week

After the publication of the Star, the visitor seem like increase by 10 to 15% daily. Thanks then although Bald manunited became Bald Men United. I do not mind in this case.
The hair photos that I posted two weeks ago get some good responses from my readers. Yes, I did improve but not until a stage that no one will notice I have lesser hair than a normal people. I am over 30 year old now and thus more male has started to suffer a certain level of hair loss. Among my peers, I am not the worse like I am in the late 20s. In another way, I have slow down my hair loss and regain a bit of hair while my friends who do not using Rogaine and Propecia losing their hair much faster than they think of. However, some of them has married thus, hair loss may not be a big issue to them.
I personally ask some of my friends to try Roagine although I know Propecia and Rogaine combination will give them the best result. I do not want to let them know I suffered of low libido after taking Propecia.

Weekly summary - 201th week -- Thank you the Star!!!!

If you have visited my Facebook group recently, you will find that a reporter from the Star who want to do a report of the Men's hair loss. Well, she left the message in June but I missed it until just before the article was published on last Saturday. I would have given her more insights and tell her the Yun Nam scam (perhaps no mainstream newspapers willing to publish any negative news to one of their major advertiser) but she did not response.

Anyway, if you are interested, just click the link below.

http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2011/7/23/lifefocus/8971798&sec=lifefocus

Although it is a good publicity to my blog, the author misspells my blog name. She write the name as ' Bald Men United' instead of 'Bald Man United'. I do not know if she purposely make the mistake or a careless mistake, but the real issue here is she quote some of my posts and represent me as a person that maybe some readers and I can not agree of.

I am described as a man who suffers hair loss, blame hair loss has cost me the chance to hook a girl. Yupe, it is true that I rant about it sometimes ago but the most important thing to save my hair is about my own self esteem is affected. Well, maybe now I can cope with it if I lost my hair that I gain in the future. Anyway, thanks for the author manage to spot one of my less popular post beside the Yun Nam scam.

She also mentioned of my frustration after the treatment in Yun Nam hair care failed miserably.

"weekly treatments at a renowned hair-loss clinic – but one is able to sense that his optimism is receding as quickly as his hairline.".

No, I am frustrated because I lost the best chance and time to treat my hair. I also wasted a huge sum of money in Yun Nam that provides no results. This can be testified by thousands of readers that read my post of Yun Nam scam and over 200 messages left in my posts. However, I understood why she can not mention the name of Yun Nam, else, she will get disciplinary letter from her editor.

The most funny part is I am describe as a poor chap to monitor Wayne Rooney hair transplant. Hello…this is not funny…just ask Rooney. This is a serious matter for guys. I just shows Rooney photos after hair transplant and ask every of my reader to acknowledge of it. Then we will know how good hair transplant is as we can see Rooney week in week out. If hair transplant is affordable and yet can solve our problem for long term, will you consider it? Of course yes, right? Where is her logical thinking??

Louisa Lim, are you watching this?

Weekly summary - 200th week -- my hair photos

This is the 200th week I have write for this blog. I know there are lesser people who actually follow my post weekly. There are more new reader who bump to my blog due to some serching in Google like the fampus Yun Nam hair care of alpacine or any shampoo that I have recommend in this blog. I do hope this blog actually help you a little bit in your way to fight hair loss. Yupe, we have the same enemy..so do not give up.
Here is my hair photos after 200 week. My before photos is below of the blog.

Weekly summary - 199th week

It has been some "headache" weeks to me.
When you have better offer, I think most of you will choose the higher salary job especially there is a change in your current job organisation which make you very unhappy. My dilemma is that the current job allow me to easily apply annual leave if there is an interview. I am not sure about the new place where the annual leave is 50% less than the current company (I have been the same company after I graduated).
The most important part is I have completed my MBA. Yupe. You guys are right, MBA just may get you a little bit of upper hand sometimes. The main reason is I want to be involved more to business rather in the technical field. The new job is still a technical job and over 100 applications of non technical jobs, well, no response. I just went to an interview for a job which is 50% technical and 50% business. The interview is not that smooth as the question arise why I want to switch to a different field? How do you think you can learn up the technical quickly since you are from different field? The killer question is, will you accept the job if you can not provide a higher salary or even take a pay cut? This interview was done by a young lady and the manager was using a vice conference for interview. I have make an appointment for interview and yet the manager take leave and just wake up for the interview. The HR also missing even though the receptionist call her for 15 minutes or more. I direct call her but she is somewhere else. Mine you, it is one of the big telco in Malaysia. What a mess.
Dilemma, headcahe...I think I have more hair loss now and my hair will turn Grey soon if I can not get my desire job that can thrill me all the way.

Weekly summary - 198th week-- Nielson Malaysia misleading us on Yun Nam scam??

I think the push factors that many people still thinking Yun Nam and Beijing 101 still an option to ‘cure’ their hair loss is the side effect of Propecia and Rogaine. Maybe Rogaine has not much side effects but Propecia scare many men due to the reduction of libido.

Thus, some people still give those hair care center a tried even though they have a notorious reputation. They provide you with some fictitious success rates form Nielson survey. Mine you, if you ask a different survey question you will get a different answer. It means someone can play around the question to get the result that is favorable to them. For example, I still recalled that Yun Nam hair Care claimed that they have a success rate of 90.9% from the customer that received their treatment. The source of the data is from AC Nielson, which is now the Neilson. How was the result come from? If you ask, “Do you think visit Yun Nam Hair care will be better than do not do anything with your hair loss?” I believe majority will answer, yes. This will give you a favorable answer. If you ask, “After getting treatment at Yun Nam Hair care, do you think your hair condition improved?”. Well, what is the standard to judge that your hair condition improved? If you are based on more hairs grow that before treatment, which is the prudent way, I strongly believe that 99.99% will answer NO!!!! But if they play around the definition, like a healthier scalp (after washing your hair of curse you will have cleaner scalp), I think the result will be 90% YES!

I believe Nielson has help set up the survey question that favor their customer. So who to blame of? Unless Nielson has come up with evidence that Yun Nam has manipulated the survey data, I believe both parties are in fault. They both cheated the consumers. Thus, how trustable of the Nielson’s survey result? Just ask the English dailies The Sun who has according to Nielson survey, has a readership that is lower than its daily 300,000 copies of circulation. The survey of the Malaysia local newspaper‘s readership always favor The Star. The fact is how true is the ‘fact’?

Now, Yun Nam, New York Skin and London Weight management has make use of the group buying or collective purchase to promote their services. Yun Nam gives the first services at RM 10 to attract the potential customer in Groupego. I would suggest you guys to beware of this. I think you can buy Spa services, permanent hair removal pancakes for female, but not something that you need to see the result like hair treatment or losing weight which need a long duration and depends on a lot of factors.

Weekly summary - 197th week-- Miracle Hair expert

I guess another new hair care center whihc is growing up very fast is Miracle Hair expert.
When you search hair expert, you will see their website top of the google search.
However. they are just another Yun Nam Hair care or Beijing 101. None of them can guarantee the effectiveness of the tretament. When the treatment is under your expectation, you complaint, and you will be ask to sign up more packages. Same tactics for all with a different name of the company.
I saw the roadshow booth of Miracle Hair Expert in One Utama last week. I am not surprise to see them target women and some of the guys with hair thinning or hair loss. Perhaps my treatment progress is too good till none of the consultant came forward to me. I saw them using a scope to scan the 'target' hair and view through a computer screen. I am confident the target is being frighten about how severe of her hair loss and can not delay any further for the hair treatment by the consultants there. High price packages will be introduced to her later.
Although Miracle Hair Expert is not as famous as Yun Nam and Beijing 101 (notorious reputation for cheating the customers), I am confident this company will be another discussion in the forum soon. Of course, there will be no result after RM 10k spent for the hair treatment. I hope they can read my blog before they visit any hair care center.

Weekly summary - 196th week

As I mentioned last week, Simple shampoo just disappointed me. I can not stand it anymore and turn back to a Himalaya herbal anti dandruff. You guess what, it give the same sticky feeling of my hair as the Simple shampoo. Anyway, review of the shampoo will not by today. Maybe next post.
I have cut my hair short and seem like no many people actually think I have suffered a certain degree of male Pattern hairloss (MPB). Though, some feel that my hair is not as much as those youngster. Well, at my age of over 30 now, it is normal to have less hair. At least, for many of the ordinary. In fact, when I was 25 to 26 , people think I am over 30 due to my hair. You know what, now I am over 30, people start thinking I am 28 at most. Phew!! What an achievement of my hair? No, I am not too carried away. I have to use Rogaine and Propecia for long term and you just do not know when the effects will vanish. However the side effects just stay there and never gone away.
I am thinking of quitting Propecia with just Rogaine. I use to skip 3 days in a row of Propecia and do not lose much hair. Seem like a good sign, but I am still in a dilemma to quit.

Weekly summary - 195th week -- Simple shampoo review

This is the worst shampoo among all the shampoos in my review.
A famous brand name of no chemical substances inside, there are no comparable to Himalaya and Bawang shampoo in terms of performance.
This shampoo has no conditioner, so your hair will not be so soft. Well, I am OK with that.

 What I am disappointed is this Simple gentle care shampoo can not even clean my oily scalp and hair. So if you use minoxidil in the morning, you will have a hard time to clean my hair.
The shampoo has no smell which is better than Bawang herbal smell but inferior with Himalayan.
I will rate this shampoo as a no buy.
This 200ml per bottle shampoo cost me RM14.50.

Yun Nam COO earn up to RM230k !!!!

 It is a advertisement in Jobstreet.
Well, how much do you think the conned company Yun Nam Haircare COO earned? It is RM 230k annually with company car. Well, that is why a ordinary "consultant" can easily earn RM 5k per month. Yupe, you are right, they earn on par with GRO. 
Now we know how much money they have conned our consumer.

Weekly summary - 194th week -- Rooney hair transplant

Wayne Rooney hair transplant picture puts him ahead of the game

Wayne Rooney showed his new hairline on Twitter

When Wayne Rooney was caught coming out of a Harley Street hair-loss clinic, his head covered in a cap and hood, he had two options.
Go the Jason Gardiner route and refuse to comment – or take off your hat – for a year. Or just ’fess up to the fact you’ve had a hair transplant.
Unsurprisingly, the Man United star went with the simpler choice: admit it and get it over with.
But it seems Wayne has now become addicted to keeping the public up to date with exactly what’s happening on his head.
Yesterday he showed this gruesome photo to his 738,000 Twitter followers, writing: “Hi all, there’s my head. It will take a few months to grow. Still a bit bloody too but that’s all normal.”
Wayne underwent an eight-hour ­procedure, which is called follicular unit ­extraction, estimated to cost £12,000.
Hairs are removed from the back of the head and inserted into tiny incisions on the scalp, one by one – like planting seeds, but with blood and gore. Team-mate Rio Ferdinand told him: “You’ll be doing Head & Shoulders adverts soon!”
So, you heard it here first – Wayne must be planning radical facial reconstruction surgery too.

The drug manufacturer recently updated the USA labeling for Propecia to include both depression and persistent ED as a reported side effect from Finasteride use:

PG 2: http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/p/propecia/propecia_ppi.pdf

• "In general use, the following have been reported: breast tenderness and enlargement; depression; allergic reactions including rash, itching, hives and swelling of the lips and face; problems with ejaculation; testicular pain; difficulty in achieving an erection that continued after stopping the medication; and, in rare cases, male breast cancer.

Class Action Lawsuit / Mass Tort Litigation in Canada & USA

CANADA
As some are aware, a Class Action Lawsuit was filed in Canada by the lawfirm KLEIN LYONS (http://www.kleinlyons.com) in January 2011, on behalf of Canadian men suffering persistent side effects from the drug.

If you live in Canada / are a Canadian citizen, sign up to participate:

• CANADIANS: SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE IN CANADA PROPECIA/PROSCAR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT >

USA

• If you are an American citizen living in the USA and have experienced persistent sexual dysfunction / other side effects from taking Propecia or Proscar for male pattern hair loss, please submit your contact info for a possible USA mass tort lawsuit via http://www.propeciaclassaction.com
   
• This potential USA litigation initiative is being spearheaded by a well-qualified U.S. physician and attorney who Is intimately familiar with the drug development and approval process and is beginning to press the FDA to make serious changes to the product label for Propecia. He has already spoken with a number of physicians and researchers, and spent hundreds of hours researching Finasteride to develop the scientific underpinnings and legal strategy for Propecia product liability litigation.
   
• Additionally, he has been working closely in consultation with an experienced, highly competent U.S. product liability lawyer. A class action or mass tort lawsuit on behalf of PFS patients is complex litigation that requires substantial depth and breadth of legal expertise and infrastructure to support the execution of a well-planned prosecution.

Weekly summary - 192th week --Busy month.....

It is a hectic month going to come from now to June.
No time to have a hair cut.
Not much time I can spend in this blog as well.
I think I will post how to buy Rogaine through Amazon.com since too many people asking how to purchase.
May be I should guide you step by step?
Anyway, take good care of yourself and your hair.
There is something money can not buy.

Weekly summary - 191th week -- another high profile Yun Nam's victim

Yun Nam haircare, one of the most notorious name in Singapore and Malaysia for cheating people money and their tactics to frighten people to sign up their treatment. It is only one word, unethical. Nothing can be worse than promise nothing but charge a sky high price for their useless service. I expect them to have a 90% profit margin after include their rental and salary of their staffs. Their so call ginseng herbal tonic is just those cheapskate herbal that smell like ginseng.
Now, one of the most famous blogger in Malaysia, green Apple a.k.a Diana Ishak is the latest victim. After refer my link that lead me to her blog. She suffered hairloss after gave birth of her second child. As usual, YN has force her to sign up package after give her a free treatent. Luckily she able to escape before she signed anything with YN. Lucky.
Read her post here !!Unfortunately, I can only suggest her to try Rogaine 2% for women.

Weekly summary - 190th week -- answer for your question

"my doctor won't prescribe me with propecia! i'm so sad. i have spent RM5K on yun nam n nothing worked.
fuck d world!"
Haha. May be it is too long I never mention how you guys to buy Propecia. Propecia is 1mg or we call finasteride sometimes. Yes, you should need the prescription from doctor if you buy from Guardian. You no need to get the prescription if you buy from Watson. You can also buy Proscar from Watson. In case they ask you who is using it, you just tell them your father!!! You no need to spend your money and time in Yun Nam Haircare.
"rogaine does not sold in malaysia. It have to buy from online seller. I think most of malaysian still scare to buy thing from online. I hope you can help (by post) to say about online protection (e.g. amazon protection) that protect buyer's money and right."
I used to write about the amazon protection thingy last time. You may need to Google a bit by typing 'baldmanunited  amazon refund' . I want to clarify that Rogaine sell in Malaysia but at a price double to triple you bought from Amazon. Regarding the protection of thing, just refer to Amazon.com. If Malaysian has no confident to buy online, I can not help them and they can buy from Watson.


I received my paid from Google Adsense recently. Thanks for you guys click the ads and support. I observe that the time to collect USD 100 (payout threshold ) is almost 2 times compare previously. Hmm..I need to to analyse on this case...

Weekly summary - 189th week

I think the most visited post in my blog is regarding the Yun Nam scam. Some of the post have over 100 comments. Wow!!!Look at my current post, normally only 1 or 2 comments leave after my new post. One of the reason is, the current post is not as debatable and controversial as the Yun Nam scam. "Yun nam haircare price" is even show my post as the number is Google thanks to people who complaint about the mischarges of Yun Nam or Beijing 101 but bring no result to their hair.
That is the reason I post about Yun Nam due to lack of the awareness of people about the way they do business. Of course, I am a victim to but too late to file to tribunal. i saw many of the recent cases has bring to the consumer tribunal and get back partial of their hard earn money.
We know there are not much solution out there to save your hair loss. The first thing is fast detection of your male pattern baldness at the early stage. Use the correct and proven method for your hair treatment. I know many afraid of the side effect of Propecia, then you should try Rogaine although combination of two bring the best result. I guess in the initial stage, Rogaine alone may enough to help. Although Rogaine is about RM 60 per month if you order from Amazon, it is much cheaper than a treatment in Yun Nam that cost you over RM 100, right?

Weekly summary - 188th week

I comb my hair and I found that there are quite a lot of hair falls. Is the shedding is coming back again? I hope not. I did not manage to count exactly how many hairs fall today. I guess it shall be roughly 100 strands that I can visible.
I think I may not gaining any more of my hair. The best bet is not losing any or slowing down my baldness. I just feel there is not much hair regrowth since two months ago. It seems like the best period to grow my hair has gone. In fact, the best time for a person who use Minoxidil 5% to regrow their hair is the first 9 months. I have past the period . In fact this is my 16 months with Minoxidil 5%. Now, it seems like the growth of my hair like miniature hair of my frontal remain the same a few months ago. Yupe, it is frustrating, after a lot of effort. However, I am going to continue with my current regime as it is the only way to save my hair.
I will change my shampoo to Himalaya again. I will stop using Bawang for a while after some complaints in China last time.

Weekly summary - 187th week - Man's life is tough

Nowadays, the men are concern their image more than our parents generation. Your father may think bald is a normal process of aging and nothing that can do about that. Your mother may think men with no hair are cool too and may comfort your father that those men with no hair , 9 out of 10 are rich.
Now, 90% of the chics want a handsome men who are rich. You better have the look of Brad Pitt and the wealth of Richard Lee. Even if you are bald, you are better have a look of Bruce Willis. In the end, women are looking a balance of look and wealth for their ideal man.
I feel that the guys are not so particular of women now. We may still go for their look, body figure as our father did. However, you seldom find that man still want their girl to cook, to do the washing for them. even that, most house works will be share between wife and husband after married. However, even the wife earn more than the husband, most likely the husband will paid most of the bill and support the family. this has shown when they started the relationship that 90% of the expenses are footed by the guy. You rarely to see a girl who willing to share the expenses. If she did so, she is either very kind (suggest you married her as soon as possible) or she is leaving you very soon.
Women are more choosy now.Men are now need to catch up n many areas, either from financial to your own image. It is sad that many of us suffered male pattern hair loss which is no cure till now. Propecia and Rogaine is our answer till now. We are trying to hide our bald spot so that our pride will not hurt. hair to women is life, to men is a pride. You agree?? Share a song by Andy with you guys, represent my feeling now.

Weekly summary - 186th week - Purchase Proscar

I just purchase Proscar at Watson last week. The cost is RM 192 which is less than RM 200. The price is considered acceptable if we considered we split it into 4 and consume 4 days continuously and stop for one day. It cost you less than RM 40 for a month consumption. This is quite affordable for most people.
The only concern of taking Proscar or Propecia if you lazy to split it, is the side effect of reducing your libido. This is the mian reason why a lot of people has no courage to take Proscar or stop taking after they suffer side effect mainly reduce in libido. Some people do not have any side effect. MSD claims only a fraction of people suffer side effect. My poll in this blog shows 50% of people consume Propecia / Proscar suffer side effect.
Anyway, this is your choice. Proscar is a better than Rogaine as they stop your hair from falling. Rogaine n the other hand, stimulate your scalp to grow hair. Combine both will give you the best result.
I am using Proscar, Rogaine (morning) Kirkland minoxidil (night) and Bawang shampoo with Selsun Blue. I may change back to Himalayan shampoo though.

Weekly summary - 185th week

Normally, I will use Rogaine in the morning as it dries up much faster than the Kirkland minoxidil 5%. It normally dries within 15 minutes or less as it is in foam base. Another advantage of Rogaine over Kirkland to me is that it does not incur "fake" dandruff
However, the superior may only happen to me. Some of the readers has suffer dandruff by using Rogaine as well. It is due to the scalp dries after applying Rogaine. Well, it may happen by using Kirkland as well. My view is still Rogaine has the same effect with Kirkland minoxidil as the ingredient is just the same. The diffrent is the liquid base of Kirkland minoxidil is not easy to apply evenly on the scalp by using droplets. When the liquid dries on the scalp eventually it will result the fake dandruff that may embarrassed you in front of people (If you care of your image very much). I think Rogaine still worth the money but I will only use it very I need to such as in the morning before I go to work or need to attend a function at night.
There are many people try to shun away to take Propecia and Proscar due to side effect lawsuit in Canada and US. If this is the case, Rogaine may be the only proven solution for men hairloss. Else, you are trying to buy a hope in Yun Nma or Svenson? I advise you to forget it and keep your money instead.

Weekly summary - 184th week -- Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo works?

I found that the most search keywords that lead my new readers to this blog beside Yun Nam haircare (anything about Yun Nam price, complaints etc) is Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo. I have introduced this shampoo previously in one of my post. I never tried it but seem that many people are interested.
I am in fact does not believe shampoo that can promotes hair growth. I believe those who serach about Alpecin Caffeine are mostly westerner. We seldom heard of it in Malaysia and we can only buy it from Amazon. The price is not cheap but not that expensive as well.
Anyone use the product and has a positive feedback? Or you tried but failed to give you any result?

Weekly summary - 183th week -- Minoxidil lost its effect?

Anyone here has use Rogaine or Minoxidil for over a year?
I found that there is no hair regrowth after quite a successful first year of using Minoxidil 5%. I doubt if other also face the same situation. I make a search in hair loss help forum and found that some people claimed that Rogaine will gradually lose the effect after 48 weeks.

5% minoxidil peak at 16 weeks and give us the best result and gradually lose the effect afterward. I think the best result after 48 weeks is maintain the hair you gain during that period. Lets see how about Finasteride or Propecia will lose the effect gradually?

After year 3, the hair lost seems stated again although compare with placebo, Propecia still yield a much better result. It seems like the hair you gain via Propecia will started to lose again after year 3 but drop at a much slower pace compare you not taking Propecia.

Weekly summary - 182th week -- Yun Nam stupid ads

This is the stupid advertisement from Yun Nam Haircare. What a con job. They are promoting in Youtube 2 years ago and not many have notice it.
Have a laugh.

Weekly summary - 181th week

Although Svenson advertisement alays appeared on my blog, it really doesn't mean I promote their services. If you follow my blog, you will know I do not think any of the haircare center (Beijing 101, Yun Nam or Svenson) able to cure the man baldness.
Please save your hard earn money for better purpose instead of cheating by those sales consultant and of course their boss behind. You can definitely know the luxury of profit margin of these haircare center to allow them doing promotion in newspaper, internet and in TV. You have charging RM 5 to 7k so can you can support the salary of the consultant, center rental and of course the boss laughing to take your money. No promise, no result and you can not request to get the money back until you file a case in the tribunal and WIN the case.
My experience tell me Rogaine + Propecia is the way, the prudent way.

Weekly summary - 180th week

You can read the previous post and finally, the press has the courage to post the name Yun Nam haircare of a negative news. Stars, Sin Chew and other main stream media has always shun from publish a negative new of Yun Nam or Beijing 101 or London weight management, New york sin and etc because these companies spend a lot of  money every year in advertisement. Thus, there are many people still being cheated very year until they read my blog. It is sad, I wrote this because I do not want what happened to me (being cheated by Yun Nam), it  happens to others.
Yes, Propecia is bringing side effects and it is what people worried. I suggest you to try Rogaine at least and please do not waste your money and time in Yun Nam haircare. Especially, Yun Nam charges has been much higher than previously. They charge 30 times treatment for Rm 5k. Another 20 times for Rm 3k. This is excluded the tonic and shampoo that I bought. Nowadays, they charge RM 5k for 20 times treatment to RM8k from some of the feedbacks.
Please tell your friends or family about Yun Nam, it is better be bald or 'botak' than cheated by Yun Nam.

Yun Nam hair care paid RM 14,986 after losing the tribunal case!

Yum Nam Hair Care ordered to refund RM14,986

February 23, 2011

PUTRAJAYA, Feb 23 — The Consumer Claims Tribunal (CCT) today ordered Yum Nam Hair Care Sdn Bhd to refund a couple RM14,986 within 14 days.
CCT president Datuk Abu Bakar Awang ordered the company to make the refund to former Universiti Malaysia Terengganu vice chancellor Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Sulaiman Md Yassin and his wife Datin Noor Rohani Mohd Noor after finding it had breached business ethics.
Sulaiman had complained to the tribunal that he and his wife had signed up for a hair treatment package with the company costing RM15,600 (RM 7,800 each) payable by monthly instalments of RM650, apart from RM2,776 for hair treatment products, in May last year.
However, after four treatment sessions, the company asked the couple to take up another package costing RM15,000 with payment to be made up front, he said, adding that dissatisfied, he asked the company to discontinue both his treatment and that of his wife, and stop drawing payments from his credit card account.
When the company ignored two letters written by him to that effect, Sulaiman brought up the case to the tribunal. — Bernama

Weekly summary - 179th week

I started to take 1.25mg of Proscar for four days and stop for a day. I tried to take only 1mg average per day instead of 1.25mg . So far so good, nothing bad happen such as hair falls on the day I do not consume Proscar. I think it is workable and not consume more than it is prescript although nothing bad happen to me yet.
I am using Rogaine in the morning which is easier to dry. Kirkland Minoxidil is used at night only. I feel both are as effective. The only difference is that Rogaine dries much faster than Kirkland minoxidil 5%. 
Any shampoo that is acceptable as long as it is suitable with you. I am using Bawang shampoo now. My suggestion is Himalaya is a good choice as it contain less chemical substance and ingredients. Of course, the manufacturer claims it is free from chemical substance, I do not believe it.
 I know many of us worried the risk of taking Propecia, but I doubt of Rogaine alone will help to stop your hair loss. Please share your success with me.

Weekly summary - 178th week -- lawsuit in US

Rogaine -- Use for hair regrowth but not stop your hair falling
Propecia -- Stop your hair falling but not helping your hair growing

This is the short conclusion why we combine both of Rogaine and propecia for male pattern hairloss. I used to try only Propecia but did not give me a satisfied result.
However, as I posted previously, propeciahelp.com has started a lawsuit against Merck of the permanent side effects for Propecia in Canada. Now, they are planning the same lawsuit in US. If this successful, it will be a wave of lawsuit in other developed countries I guess.
Different people has different perception of this drug. I just want to let those who want to try Propecia aware of the side effects and possible side effects. We can not do much until a better medicine to cure our baldness.

Weekly summary - 177th week -- Stop or continue Propecia

I have posted about the lawsuit against Merck as Propecia/ Proscar were claimed to be have cause permanent erectile dysfunction. This is the lawsuit in Canada and is cooperate by Propeciahelp.com.
If you do not know propeciahelp.com, it is an organization for the male who suffer side effects after taking and stop taking Propecia.
http://propeciahelp.com/about-propeciahelp
Anyway, his may be just a very small portion of the people who take the medication.
Thus, I go to search a post in hairlosshelp.com.
http://www.hairlosshelp.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=88909&highlight_key=y&keyword1=propeciahelp
 There is some forumers that also in the dilemma after reading the posts in propeciahelp.com. hope it will help you guys to decide to continue or to stop taking Propecia. I believe Rogaine alone not enough to regain our hair, what do you think?

Weekly summary - 176th week -- Happy CNY and Gong Xi Fatt Choy

I wish all of you Happy Chinese New year and Gong Xi Fatt Choy. We hope for a better year in the rabbit year.
As you all notice that I post a news of Propecia lawsuit. This lawsuit is assosiate with a website call propeciahelp.com.
This make the lawsuit less convincing. One of the reason is in fact propeciahelp.com is one of the forums that advocate the side effects of Propecia and the fake facts of the sides that claims by Merck.
I believe there must be more people that suffer side effects such as the loss of libido or lose the libido or no erection etc.However, there are also people ho claims they have not suffer any side effect. You can see form hairlosshelp.com
So, it is hard to judge if you have taken Propecia now whether to discontinue. I would like yopu guys to feedback in this issue.

Weekly summary - 175th week -- lawsuit filed in Canada for persistant sexual dysfuction from Propecia and Proscar

I do not know will this news shocked you. It did surprised me. I do not know in actual there are how many percentage of men who took Propecia and Proscar suffered sexual dysfunction. Is it never go away even you stop taking it? I welcomed all of you to tell me the truth. I did reduce my libido, but in long term and persistantly?

Press Release: Class action filed against manufacturer of Propecia & Proscar

http://www.nationalpost.com/Class+action+filed+against+manufacturer+Propecia+Proscar/4157841/story.html

VANCOUVER, Jan. 24, 2011

Lawsuit filed for men who suffer sexual dysfunction after using hair loss drug.
VANCOUVER, Jan. 24 /CNW/ - A class action was filed today in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by Vancouver resident, Michael Miller, against Merck Frosst Canada and its affiliated companies. The lawsuit has been brought on behalf of Canadian men who used Propecia or Proscar and suffered continuing sexual dysfunction.
Propecia and Proscar are prescribed as a cosmetic treatment for male pattern hair loss also known as androgenic alopecia. The product monograph discloses that some men may experience sexual dysfunction but states that the symptoms disappear after cessation of the drug.
Mr. Miller, who is in his early 20s, was concerned when his hair started to thin in some areas. He was prescribed Proscar which he hoped would stop his hair from thinning. After about a month of use he noticed a drastic change in his behaviour, "I lost my interest in sex and I felt anxious in social situations for no particular reason," he says. While on the drug, his symptoms of sexual dysfunction increased as the months passed. When he could no longer bear the side effects, he stopped using Proscar but these symptoms didn't go away: "My sexual functioning has not recovered, I have seen specialists and have tried treatments but nothing has worked," says Mr. Miller.
According to Mr. Miller's lawyer, David Klein, "The product labels have been changed in several European countries to include a warning of persistent erectile dysfunction after discontinuation of the drug but this change has not been made on the Canadian product labels." It is alleged that the drug manufacturers failed to adequately warn Canadians of the true risks.
Klein also says, "So far, more than 80 Canadian men have expressed an interest in participating in the class action. We believe there are many other men who will come forward now that the case has been filed in court."
Mr. Miller is represented by Klein Lyons, one of Canada's most experienced class action law firms.
