Wow! You guys must have thought I flied to US for an assignment but indeed, I am still in Malaysia. Why? I failed to get my US visa. US embassy has thought I looks an terrorist that can do harm to their country. Well, I do not wish to go to your country as well as I afraid I will be shot when I walking down the street!!By the way, I think I am not the only male that failed to get US L1/B1 visa, although I know female are much easier to get their B1/L1 visa, can I call this sexual discrimination??I know that Americans must be afraid to call them discriminate others but in the fact, they are!!!
Anyway, back to the hair concern, I am not only worried the hair loss but also white hair that grown. A few months ago, I saw a strand of white hair at the frontal but this time, the white hair grows on my vertex. I am just 30++, it is shame to have white hair on top of the already severe hair loss.
What can I do with white hair? Nothing much and can only rely on the ancient Chinese believe of the scalp blood circulation will help the white hair and hair loss. It is believe that when you comb your hair with an ox horn comb, two times a day and each time about 5 to 10 minutes, your can can have full of black hair. Well, it may be not entirely correct but I do sure it help a way. Thus, I started back to comb my hair, though I stopped to comb using the ox horn comb I bought from taobao last year fora while due to my laziness.
I should keep myself more cheerful and less thinking of the unhappy thingy. May be this is why I am getting white hair nowadays.
A chinese male in 30s. I have suffer male pattern hair loss when I was 22 or even earlier. After trying many ways for hair treatment includes Yun Nam hair care that cheat my money, I try Propecia and minoxidil.

Weekly summary - 275/276th week -- time is counting
Time is counting, for my trip to US (tentatively these two weeks) if it is not canceled in the last minutes. Well, I previously quite excited as I can meet up one of my female colleague in US, but recently rumors from the office that she has a guy over there and a few other guys in US also after her. I must admit, she is hot!!!
Anyway, the most worried part for me is I may miss out the Malaysia General Election this round where I really hope this country will have a changed. This is definitely needed when we looking around the issues in this countries. So many unresolved issues for years. I really have to shout "How many more 10years we got?". There are really a lots of things I wish I could do for Malaysia, but looking at my skin color, those government link companies just do not really welcome Chinese. I think many of the Chinese or Indian may feel the same well. It is not we are not good or does not qualified, it is due to the race base policy.
Of course, this US trip may also worsen my hair loss. Thus, I really do not wish to stay longer than 2 months. Hard water will let my hair drops even more. I have no idea how to solve it, may be boiling water or buy mineral water can reduce the effects?
I will be busy soon. Write to you guys next time.

Weekly summary - 272/273/274th week -- Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
Happy New Year and Merry Xmas to all the readers.
I have just have a new hair cut but the style has been stick with the one that I kept almost I started this blog. Why? I just think it is hard to cover my bald spot is hard with other spiky hair style.
However, I think most of us that still in the early stage may want to try up mosre hair sty;e while we still can. Wow, sound pessimistic?? But it is the truth. Let us look at 10 hair style for thinning hair men that can try on.
Here we go.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Early receding hairline.
At the very early stages of hair thinning, when you see no reason to commit to a short cut, consider a style that involves shaggy layers. You'll want to ask your barber for a cut that’s long in front, that falls over your forehead and has a medium length all over. At home, use your fingers to tousle your layers with a bit of gel or lightweight styling cream. By drawing attention to your cool, just-rolled-out-of-bed look, longer hair combined with slightly disheveled layers is a smart trick to mask the early stages of balding.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Thinning on top.
If you've noticed that your forehead has started to become more prominent but that you still have plenty of hair, ask your barber for a cut that's short all over and slightly tapered in back and on the sides. Next, invest in some hair paste and apply a minute amount to towel-dried hair, making sure to distribute the product evenly throughout. Finally, use your fingers to make only the hair on top of your head a bit messy, leaving your sides and the back looking proper. This style works to minimize hair loss because its rough texture gives hair extra volume, leading to the perception that you have more.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Early receding hairline.
If your hair is thinning at a slow pace and you still have a reasonably full mane, grow out the hair on top of your head. Once this hair is longer than the hair on the back and sides of your head, you can brush your hair forward, using a little gel to keep everything in place. In addition to helping you hide an expanding forehead, this style is simple and won't make you seem like you're trying too hard.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Bald spots near the back of the head.
When your hair is still relatively thick apart for minor receding in a spot or two, try wearing it slicked back. To do so, you'll need to grow the front of your hair long enough so that when you slick it back, it will effectively mask a bald spot. Use a little bit of product to increase volume, keep your hair in place and further conceal hair loss. Just remember that slicking your hair back results in an old-school debonair look, but slicking your hair to the side puts you firmly in comb-over territory.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Hair loss around the temples.
Though the faux hawk may bring images of douchery to mind, a modified, toned-down version (a faux faux hawk, if you will) is actually a clever way to divert attention from hair loss near the temples. Begin by asking your barber for a short, choppy cut that will work with your shifting natural hair line. Then, apply a dab of gel to your hair and use your fingers to haphazardly move hair toward the center of your head, making sure to keep everything nice and messy in order to make your hair loss less evident.
Type of hair loss it's good for: All-over thinning.
For hair that is thinning all over, rather than in a specific location, an ideal hairstyle is one that is short and spiked. It's easy to achieve with a little hair gel, and the increased volume means you'll appear to have a fuller head of hair. Also, because this edgy style creates space between your locks and distracts the eye, it places the focus on where your hair is, rather than where it’s not.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Receding at the temples or the crown.
When it comes time to switch to a shorter cut in order to minimize the appearance of thinning hair, go with a crew cut. Not only is it timelessly stylish and suitable for any age or face shape, but, by blending the thinner portions of your hair with thicker ones, this style creates the illusion of a fuller head of hair. This cut works best when not much is required to blend in bald spots.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Early bald spots.
The buzz cut has at least three advantages for men with thinning hair. First, less hair on your head makes hair loss less obvious. Second, this style is a classic that works in any professional or social environment. For example, with a polished suit, this cut is sharp and sophisticated. On the other hand, with a distressed denim and a hoodie, the buzz cut has an edgy, urban appeal. Finally, it's extremely low maintenance, so you can toss out most of your hair-styling products.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Advanced temple hair loss.
The rule of thumb to follow for hair loss in general is that, as bald spots become more obvious, your hair should become shorter. If you've reached a stage at which you have virtually no hair in your temple region but some remains on your crown and you don't want to go hairless yet, work with what you've got. The solution is to request a cut that's clipper-short without being a buzz cut and to use the smallest amount of gel or pomade to finger brush your hair forward. The result will reduce the appearance of thinning on top of your head and will lend a distinguished air to men with salt-and-pepper locks.
Type of hair loss it's good for: Advanced hair loss.
When you've reached the point of no return, shaving off all your remaining hair is a great option. In fact, if you have an even and pleasingly shaped skull, a hair-free style could be one of the best moves you'll ever make. It takes a significant amount of confidence to go completely bald, which will translate into an air of authority in your professional life and serious sex appeal when it comes to women.
Anyway, is that work for Asian??
