Hair Loss

It's amazing how 2 months ago, I was still boasting that I hardly had any hair fall daily and I could feel my hair growing thicker.

2 months on, I lost almost 1/3 of the thickness by dropping almost 100 strands daily, after 2 weeks that's 2000 strands! May not seem a lot compared to the 100000 we have, but it's kinda visible...

I could see my scalp very clearly now and it kinda scares me! So I did a little research and I realised it could be a combination of wrong diet + lack of sleep + too much alcohol.

So for the whole year, or at least monitor for 3 months, I'm going to do the following and observe for any good results in growing my hair back:


  1. Cut down of caffeine and salt. I've been taking coffee daily and drinking those MSG soups in food centres
  2. Exercise regularly. Not too difficult since I'm already am.
  3. Sleep at least 8 hrs per day. Which means I have to KO by 10pm! Wow, this really left me with 1-2 hr of exercise only. 
  4. Eat more protein. Woohoo, chicken salad anyone?
  5. Do oil treatment on hair at least once a week
  6. Avoid hair drying, combing wet hair or de-tangling unnecessary.
  7. Trim hair at least once every 3 months

The vitamins and supplements neede for healthy and thick hair are insane!

  1. Vitamin B-complex - 50 mg. of the major B-vitamins (including folate, biotin and inositol)
  2. Vitamin B-6 - 50 mg. of vitamin B-6
  3. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids - one to two grams daily
  4. Vitamin E - 400 to 800 IU daily
  5. Beta-Carotene - 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene daily
  6. One recommended daily dose of magnesium, sulfur, zinc
  7. Silica (horsetail) - 300 mg. daily
  8. Nettle - 250 mg. three times daily
  9. Flaxseed oil -  one tbsp daily or one tablet
  10. Beta-Carotene - 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene daily
See updates 3 months later! Attached pictures for proof later... Even a messy parting, my scalp is shown super clear! I find the thickness of the parting too thick! It wasn't used to be this way!

Patience...
