Weekly summary - 129th week -- Demodex Mite and hair loss

Beijing 101 published in a local daily that Demodex mite is the reason behind hair loss. YOU MUST BE joking. For your information, Demodex mite is name "Kutu" in malay. Mostly teenagers are the one who suffered from "Kutu". Ask yourself, how often you see a boy in 15 or 16 suffered from hair loss? It is just a way this hair care center want to scam people who suffered hair loss. While Demodex Mite may also cause hair loss, it will not be a serious one.
Unless government is going to put a law to control the false advertising in the beauty industry, there will be no ending of people being cheated. This is sad. For more information of Demodex mite, please refer to

We will see ho Yun Nam and Svenson will come out in their advertisement soon. All sort of new technology in hair loss treatment which is a joke if you know the truth. Paying RM 10k hard earn money and get no result. You will even more regretful after spending the money and get no result, emotionally affected.

Prudent way, Propecia and Minoxidil. Be patient, and if this also not working for you and me, you are almost no chance to get back your hair.

Weekly summary - 128th week -- how much you spend in hair loss treatment?

I need to restock my Proscar and Kirkland Minoxidil 5% soon.
Proscar price is almost the same price in local pharmacy. A mere RM 190 divide in to 4 months will be around RM 47.50 per month.
Meanwhile, Kirkland Minoxidil 5% for 6 months supply is around RM 160 including shipment from US. It around RM 26.70 per month.
If you sum up how much I spend on the hair care, it is less than RM 75. It is not that expansive after all if you figure out how to save the money.
Imagine, Yun Nam haircare and Beijing 101 may cost you at leastRM 150 per treatment(Consider you are taking the most basic course). You may need to visit them at least once a week. NO RESULT AT ALL and WASTE YOUR TIME.
We considered the prudent way in male pattern baldness treatment, Rogaine and Propecia. Rogaine is the original brand of minoxidil but sell at RM 180 per month. Generic brand like Regro may sell at RM 120. Propecia which is 1 mg is manufactured to people who suffered MPB. Proscar is 5mg but same ingredients. Propecia will cost you RM 160 per month.
If you used Rogaine and Propecia, it will cost you RM 340 the max, which is still cheaper than Yun Nam at least RM 600 per month.
There is totally no point to go treatment in some places call herbal or natural hair care center which a bunch of sales girls who know nothing about hair loss and supply all those fake theory to frighten you to sign up their package. I am a victim previously. There are more victims out there but there are even more people who go in Yun Nam and being cheated.
Malaysia government last week announced they planned to control the advertisement to ensure the advertisement is actually what they published. I hope the new advertising law will help people to avoid those hair care center that never deliver.

Weekly summary - 127th week

As usual, Chinese New year will have a lot of gathering with friends, especially old schoolmate in primary and secondary school. For us, who suffer some extent of hair loss, it can be an attention of your friends that play around talking about our hair. "Oh, your hair is residing leh", " Your hair become thinner." or "Wah, you every year also this hair style.".
I accepted a lot of comments about my hair and I try to admit and then divert to other topics. Yet, it still hurt me. I do want to have different hair styles, but my hair styles is just to cover my residing hair line.
This year, at least, I only heard the third comments which is how can I keep my same stupid hair style for so many years. No wonder I can not get a girl. No comments of my hair become thinner or more obvious M shape. I am more confident that at least the combination of Kirkland minoxidil and Propecia has effectively grow my hair especially frontal up to some extent which is no so noticeable. This is good. Of course, the miniature hair hardly cover my M shape frontal so easily but only when you really take a look of my hair.
I really wish those who are in the same regime with me also get a similar results. I still worried the effectiveness of minoxidil will last only 9 months and it will lose the effectiveness. I do not know but I will continue with this regime as it works at least for now.
