Hi, anyone knows of a herbal treatment centre in S'pore? Nothing chemical, strictly herbal- not those expensive quacks! Losing hair-help!

tkong

Hi, coincidentally I have been going to Beijing 101 for many years and it has totally worked for me....have not been back for a while noe because i dont think i need it anymore and also because i have been travelling a bit. I have always renewed their packages (because it works!) but now have no time to go. Would you like to consider this:

32 mask sessions (cleansing and refreshing for the scalp)
35 head massage sessions (one of the most relaxing things you can experience in life)
22 tonics (active ingredient for hair growth depending on your scalp which they will scan!)
9 shampoos (also prescribed depending on your condition)

anyone help me to transplant my hair?

cleveland27

Hi, I have been suffering for hair loss for 8 years and have tried all sorts of treatments.

I have visited a couple of hair centres, namely Svenson and Beijing 101, and none of them worked for me.

Beijing 101
I visited Beijing 101 3 years ago and underwent the same treatment as tkong. Mask, massage, tonic, shampoos. When compared with Svenson, they are considerably cheaper. I do not remember the exact amount that I paid (given that it was a few years ago), prob a few hundred a month. The process is pretty much, 2 times a week, I will visit their hair centre, to get a cleansing treatment, and a massage session to help with "scalp circulation". Then they will prescribe me some shampoos and tonics to be applied at home.

The result was that I felt that my scalp did become less oily. But the treatment did not help with hair growth. It only stopped my hair loss. I stopped visiting them after a year as I felt that by using Minoxidil,I would also get the same effect as going for the herbal treatments at Beijing 101, for a lesser cost. 

Svenson
I have visited Svenson for the past 2 years for hair weaving and they do not work.

They are money leeches, who will drain you dry of every cent, promising you out-of-this-world results, inducing you to rely on their products which do not work, making you feel terrible at every visit, and trying ridiculous procedures and moving on to the next. You are like a lab mouse. 

And you heard it here 1st, while I was doing my tightening my hair weave, I actually had this conversation with one of their staff.
***
Staff: Did you try the hair treatments here?
Me: No. Cause it's too expensive.
Staff: Oh yar, tt's good to hear. Don't say that I said this, but it does not work unless you have a lot of money. I have seen those very rich people who spend a lot of money here, also no results. But you don't say is I say one. You just listen.
Me: Okay. (Make a mental note never to try their hair treatment)
Staff: If you can, you should also take off your hair weave, they charged you very expensive.
***
That was a year ago. And I wished  that I have listened to her then. I have a lot to say about this cause I do not want anyone else to be cheated by this unethical company which is a nothing more than an established con house.

And at 23 years old, thanks to Svenson, the only way that I can replace my hair is via hair transplant.

cleveland27

@ilhtpakistan. Hi, you may want to try Dr. Eileen Tan? I am intending to get my hair transplant procedure done there.  I have consulted her and am using her products for a few months. Also heard from someone that SYY does hair transplant, but the results are not too great.

Singaexpat

Oh that is so strange cleveland27…my experience with Svenson have so far been very good.  I have been a client of their for the last 2 years as well as my hair loss problems have been getting from bad to worse.  I must say the trichologists were very professional in diagnosing the causes for my hairloss. They were patient in explaining to me in details my problems and what treatments could help me. 

And the staff administering my treatment was very attentive in helping me monitor my progress. I have seen great reduction in hair falls and also signs of new hair growth.  Since then, I know of people whose been there and had good experiences too so it’s unfortunate that yours was not.  Perhaps you can talk to them abt your issues  and see how they can help you correct the situation ?

Friend_SG

I am also facing the issue. Seems like climate is a major reason. Under hot sun, we get lot sweats which remains inside the head and cause hairs to fall. Not sure if this is correct, just my guess.

I do not think you can prevent hair loss. Best to accept it and smile. JW

charlestan

I have been suffering hair loss for several years now, found a centre that gives a 100% guaranteed for hair growth, 2 mths into it and find it quite good, hair loss has stopped and there are small sign of hair growth. Don't trust those blood sucking like beijing 101 who reaps you off your money and forces you to buy their products. This centre only treats your hair and don't sell you any other products.

[Moderated]

Hope it helps all those who are spending a fortune but not getting results, looking forward to see my hair grow fully again.

osama58

yes
i have made formulation for one of my worker he have lost much of his hair and now is back 100%
i can help you in this matter
how old are you

osama58

charlestan she reply about his matter seems she the owner of the salon this is like ad for her
no trust

JWilliamson

Well just cause she works or has an interest doesnt mean she is wrong or unreliable. She can really believe it works. It might work a bit but does it really bring back all the hair? I would need some proof. JW

charlestan

haha, what i wrote really sounds like an owner, but I am just a customer. :)  want to share with all those with the same problem.

There is really no loss for anyone cos they guaranteed in black and white for a full refund for no hair growth results.

I go for it cos it is much cheaper and they have given me a written agreement for full money back guarantee for no results.

levelans

try Mathew Gardson method for regrowth, it really works.

shelvy

Try Biotin (vitamin H). Read about it on the internet.

JWilliamson

It is not about losing hair but more about gaining more face! JW

Hi there. Hair loss. It can happen for several reasons.  Stress, smoking and not enough sleep. That also depends on  your age.  Im not a hair expert but i can tell you a thing or two on my experience. I was worried i was losing hair but my hair is naturally thin not thick. I have bought many expensive shampoos but to no avail but i  tried a herbal shampoo and oil from India which is not very expensive it did help actually and it had no pungent or strong smell it was mild and fine and it did make my hair look better healthier and stronger.  Franch Oil has a few types for dandruff control for hair loss you can get it off the shelf in little india but how i got them was cos my stepdad has a wee shop in bishan and i just got them to support him initially but well i have recommended to my working colleagues to who are chinese and they are loving it too cos there is no atrocious smell and you just have to use it once or twice a week for a min of 20 mins and of course the longer  you use it the better overnight...hope this helps...

i agree and There are different kinds of hair loss conditions and they have their various causes and cures. To expound on it fully I have enumerated below the types of hair loss, their causes and treatment. This is to help you understand the condition in simple terms.

Hi Everybody, a quick intro :
I am Shiryu - a lifestyle blogger,  *I think i could help if you would likely to sign up with certain budget i could help.

As i have some readers same as  you facing Hair loss Problems due to stress, genetics. 

I love to share with all my readers about beauty issues.  Because i also use pocket money to find out truth myself.  my problem : serious oily scalp due to stress environment , food intake  or sleeping not in order .. .etc.   All hair salons same advise to me : i must wash my hair everyday else it feels n looks very oily *yucks*

Frankly speaking,  Yunnan  / Beijing  hair care program  is not help  any serious hair loss problems even we spent $30k or they might take more than 8-15years  cost another $50k+ to cure.

Myself spent $2k at Yunnan  / Beijing  but no visible results at all.   (They only expert in massaging)   If  i'm looking  for head massage maybe will reconsider them.  I rarely recommend Beijing at this moment.

Actually  everywhere the same  :  They always "pyscho" people to buy this and that to work with your treatment packages. 
The only thing we can do is buy within our budget!
My job always protect my readers who their customers not being interrupted or affected by their PUSHY SALES talks.
SOMETIMES, THEY REALLY HATE ME ~ i admit but no choice i hope we can save $$$ and many of you continue reading.

My experience after 10years some research online and local neighbourhood salons :

Im telling  my problem to   Svenson - Trichologists.   Hair Consultant  and they can customized treatments which is different from others and same price $2k for 10sessions.
Free travel size shampoo + conditioner. And visible result after 3-5treatments depends individual hormone..
(my friends can see instant result.  As for me after 3treatments..)

**I save a lots  compare to  National Skin Centre or TK  who also Trichologists.

One of  My reader has serious oily scalp + hair loss :  She is happy with Svenson compare to TK - trichokare. **The most important she can save half $4k++    similar treatments  15-20 sessions   .   instead of paying $10k for 10sessions.     ***(4months treatment)  ** hopefully, TK can  revise  their price if they want our supports.

For serious hair loss who signed up professional package more than $5k  And  i  able to  help  her to get more 5-8 Corrective treatments  to be included in  her   package **Worth S$1600+ with GST** **First of all, they must inform me for advance booking and i will go down with them if i   free   too**  My readers will  try to suit my most convenient time  to visit together.    So, consultant not able to tackle them.
Or some of them will decide to sign on the spot within their budget without my present.

Personal tips :
We always have the choice to tell hair consultant since hair improve - shall we move to cheaper $2k - 10sessions treatments after 20sessions.

FOR  NORMAL HAIR  PROBLEM  like oily scalp not serious  -  actually you can visit   BEE CHOO   .  It cost   you  only $30-50. 
I do once a month too.


ABOVE IS ONLY MY OWN opinion and no to avails.
They never pay me to say.  If paid - i will specify in my blog too.

DO NOT go to Yun Nan!!! The prices are exorbitant and there are no visible results. Not sure about Beijing but I haven't heard too much negative reviews on them, I think they might actually be effective but the price puts people off.

The best is to see a skin doctor, I went to the National Skin Centre because I had moderate alopecia (patchy baldness) and my hair all grew back within a month. Okay, alopecia isn't the usual male-balding pattern hair loss most of you might be dealing with, but my point is that as wtih any balding problem, please just go see a doctor!

I know this will then be "chemical" (medical) treatment, but with herbal treatment you NEVER get 100% guaranteed results, plus it can be less effective too, even if you do see results. My dad had male-balding hair loss and he went to a TCM doctor and there were significant results -- I guess here it's kind of herbal? But if you want reassurance then Western medicine doctors are your best friend here.

Good luck. :)

Hi there,

I do know of a supplement that can help on hair loss.

april259

Hi,

I am a local, not expat but thank you for this great blog.

I have been through hair loss issues for a few years now. My dermatologist strongly advised not to waiste time and money in so called clinics here offering herbal and massage treatments, but I was still desperate to find a way to have my hair back as it was getting very bad. I now take minoxidil and it helps, but my hair still looks very thin on the top, which does not look very neat.
There is this new wig company called Marquise on North Bridge Road.  They are not doctors but they are expert wig people, originally from Paris and they make wigs and also top pieces. They really listened to me and offered me several options. They are experts and make amazingly undetectable products. I got a wig from them, the wig was made especially for me and the price was reasonable. Their hair stylist is great, she cut and styled the wig on me I am very happy with their service. I am really relieved and no one is able to tell, their technique is truely amazing.

Hi no, but i can recommend a treatment called MSP look at phuket hair clinic !!!!!!!!!:cool

mikechasy

How can I get it?

elaiyah

There are the popular chains like Beijing101 but I know someone who works for one of these hairloss specialists and says it doesn't work at all... So i am very doubtful. Still i dont think they will stay in business if there is no benefits at all. I think the Chinese herbal shops might be able to direct u to some solutions. Or there's the medical treatment via clinics. I have no personal experience though. So let us know how u go with this

I recently went to Beijing 101 after receiving a free voucher at a roadshow. I am 35 years old & having hair loss since about 6 mths back. I was sceptical at first as I have read some bad reviews about these beauty companies, be it slimming, hair care, skin care etc. I decided to give it a try though after receiving the voucher since it’s complimentary anyway.

So I fixed an appointment at their Funan outlet after my work. I was greeted by their staff (which in my opinion was very sincere) when I went in & I was ushered in to a consultation room to do a hair analysis. The results showed that I have an oily scalp & with congestions everywhere. It looked kinda disgusting & the manager followed by explaining my condition & advice me on how my diet, lifestyle may affect my hair condition bla bla. 
I proceeded to another room whereby I was given a hair mask, with a herbal scent that felt cool & icy. After letting the mask seep in for around 20 mins, I was given a thorough cleaning of the hair followed by their signature massage. It is supposed to improve blood circulation to your head, which I supposed will promote hair growth ( blood is supposed to carry nutrients). I must really compliment the massage as it was simply SHIOK! In fact it is so good that I almost fall asleep from the massage. Throughout the whole session, their staff did indeed try to sell me some packages, but I was quite hesitant & keep saying that I needed to consider with my wife first as the packages are not exactly cheap. There was no “black face” shown by the staff & they didn’t forcefully try to psycho me into signing package like what I read up in some of the common forum comments.

To conclude, my hair felt much lighter, cleaner & refreshed after the 1st treatment & my scalp was much clearer when they scanned my hair at the end. I am impressed by their professionalism, the effectiveness of their treatment in just 1 session as well as well as their friendly service. Well, I am still considering whether to invest money on hair-care though ( I have a kid & car to raise), but I will definitely go to Beijing 101 if I choose to.

Hi April, thanks for sharing the information. Im a local too suffering from receding hair loss for quite couple of years too now and have tried those centres beijing 101 and svensons with No improvement at all and the balding continues.
i was considering to wear a wig as well if theres no hope for me.
May i know hows the wig that you are using so far? Mind sharing some feedback with me here, or through PM? (privacy concerns) thanks.

Keila Burton

This thread was really useful. Am helping my spouse to do some research if he should sign the package with Beijing 101. He really enjoyed the head massage. I guess it's a good deal. Maybe I should sign up for their treatment for cleansing my scalp.

Sure!! I would just like to mention that you should complete your question by mentioning grade of baldness, country you want to get done & if you’ve tried any medications. Assuming you have tried everything and nothing worked really, you must consult a doctor and try to read about the techniques FUT, FUE, and Bio-FUE (a technique of company in India AK Clinics). I hope you’ll get preliminary answers. But then you can ask specifics. I just want to assure it is a 100% safe procedure.

I am quite surprise, I had a great experience at Tk Trichokare at Clementi.
Everything was so comfortable, the massage, the wash, the treatment...

The staffs are really professional, I even tested them.

They told me I had dandruff problems as seen on the scalp computer, I asked them what would other problems look like. They were professional and knowledgeable.

All I want to say is THANK YOU KRUB!

Cheers,

Hello Rossa ,

I am partly bald , 65 % middle baldness .Almost 7 years ago , I was completely going to bald  - severe dandruff causing a lot of hair loss , then I consulted with a dermatologist prescribed me multivitamin and ketokanozol  2 % (may be wrong spelling) . These did not work fully , then my friend suggested me shaving the hairs , onion juice to apply on scalp just before 15 mins of shower and Indian herbal hair tonic (oil ) for  messaging 10 mins before shampooing . All these have saved my hairs partly . You can search internet as well .

For every hair loss suffering, no worries there is always a solution. A new natural product is very helpful for hair damages and hair fall. Castor oil for hair regrowth - castoroiluses.net/castor-oil-for-hair-regrowth is an effective hair product that you can rely with. It has a substance that helps for hair growth and in addition it also protects your scalp.

Do you use caster oil on your hairs already?

Gravitas

It caused by the Chlorine content of the water and also interactions with shampoo content.

Two things are needed:

1. Wash your hair in a medicated shampoo or shower gel that has tea-tree oil or antibacterial content (to kill the fungus/mites that cause hair to be lost.

2. Alternate hair wash use a quality shampoo such as Hair Fall Prevention by Dove or Pantene.
