My self-esteem took a beating today as I tried to comb my hair.
Where in the past, the comb would touch on my layers of hair, this time round, it touched on my scalp directly.
My hair line became wider and obviously it was thinning as portions of scalp showed!
A lot of hair were lost (around 20 to 30) everytime I shampoo my hair and I forsee I would really become ‘botak’ in a matter of months.
I have tried and experimented with many shampoos, treatments, drugs and lotions, choosing a better diet, eating more hair-healthy food, but all these are not able to stem my hair from falling.
I seem to be fighting a losing battle against hair loss. It has already been two years since my hair first fell … and the longer the battle, the thinner is my hair!
I have tried all sorts of shampoos, all claiming to be of help to stem the fall of hair, some were organic, others were lauded and advertised to heal hair loss… but all these products are not able to help stem the perennial fall of hair on my scalp!
I know now why some youngsters style their hair upwards….its done to create more shape and volume. With thinning hair, its almost become impossible to apply gel and comb the hair nicely….in fact gel will cause more harm to the scalp and styling and combing the usual way will only make your hair loss more obviously.
But on some occasions, balding men do still need to gel their hair else they will appear lifeless. But gelling with a side parting or centre parting when there is no more hair? Its not possible and the hair will only appear thinner.
That’s why for a significant portion of people especially, they will just as well make whatever strands of hair they have, gel them vertically up to create an ‘illusion of volume’ and a more hippier look.
For my current status, (hair loss status of course, not eligibility (married or single) status), my hair still falls, no improvement at all. Occasionally, if I have the time, would do some slight scalp massage….. what I found that despites doing regular scalp massage for the past few months, my hair loss situation has not improved.
I have also gave up my application of a hair tonic before sleeping as it does not work to what I have expected. In fact, I found lesser strands of hair on my pillow and floor upon waking up if I go to bed without applying the lotion.
Besides hair loss, my scalp gets oily easily and dandruff easily forms on my scalp. On every washing or shampooing of hair, I try to rub and wash my scalp a little more thoroughly (though more strands of hair hence fall as a result)… I always close my eyes after every wash of hair…. trying to evade the scene of seeing the dozens of fallen strands of hair at the floor sink. But I had to open my eyes to face the truth, and when I do open, I am always shocked to see a clump of fallen hair at the toilet sink. But its also not surprising anymore as used to it…..but I am always expecting a miracle to see lesser strands of fallen hair.
I can no more see the fringes of my hair….I also feel lighter with a smaller mass of hair on my head……..I fear wind, breezes……..and I feel that running, a favorite sports of mine could kill the remaining of my hair (the ‘running wind’).
I have tried this and that….should I be resigned to my fate? Of course not, I will still carry on with my fight against hair loss, fighting a cure that could work for me and writing, sharing with all you readers here on this blog.
One point I must emphasize is different products work differently for different people. What works for one may not work for others. But what works for one MAY ALSO work for others, at least a chance to work rather than having others spend time and money jumping from one product to another, while the follicles keep dying by the dozens!
It is with the above paragraph in mind that I STRONGLY URGE you to share your hair loss battles with all of us, hair loss sufferers. You can share what do not work for you too and share your experiences with this product which do not work miracles for readers’ reference and information.
Thus contribute now! A minute more, a dozen more follicles will die off! Conversely, the earlier we find cures, the better the chance of retaining most part of our hair!
