Caboki - Amazing Hair Loss Concealer Video. "Grow" Hair in Seconds
Wow. I must admit that this is the first time I have seen such a product. This is a hair loss concealer powder. It does not stop hair loss or promote hair growth. What it does is conceal hair loss. It is akin to mascara except that it is used on the head. So one needs to have some hair left for this to work. Watching the video, I must say that I am pretty impressed at the results. This looks like an effective hair loss concealer especially for those with balding spots.
Treat Hair Loss with Onion?
Okay, I was searching the internet about natural treatments for hair loss when I came across this short video that claims one can use onions to treat hair loss. I wonder whether anyone has ever tried this before. Won't you stink if you rub onion on your scalp. Not for the faint hearted definitely.
Another video here also shows a DIY hair loss treatment using onions too. If anyone ever tries this and it works, do let all of us know. I am sure those of us who are balding or losing hair will gladly give it a shot.
Balding Help
Help, I am balding! Over the years, I have noticed that my hairline has been slowly receding. At first, I thought that my eyes were most probably deceiving me and that I was just being over sensitive. But slowly but surely, I started to notice a bit of baldness on my head. In fact, it is so bad that I am no longer able to comb my hair the way that I used to.
Well, if you see me, you will probably think that I am joking when I say that I am balding. Because I still have quite a bit of hair on my head. But that is probably because of the way that I style my hair nowadays. It sorts of cover the parts that are balding. But the truth is that my hair is thinning at the top and it has made it extremely difficult to comb my hair. I am not sure what style to use anymore. In fact, I have sort of resigned to the fact that I no longer look as good as before.
Balding used to be a problem that was so far away from my mind. After all, I have always been blessed with lots of hair. And I used to laugh at hair commercials. Now I know why there are so many such hair commercials around! Because men are seriously affected when it comes to balding. Not a day goes by without me looking at the mirror and wondering whether there is something that I can do to stop the balding.
If anybody knows any cure for balding, I need help! Don't want to eat any of those pills though.
How much for shampoo that cures hair loss?
How much will you pay for a bottle of shampoo that is supposed to be able to cure and prevent hair loss?
I was sitting in a hairdresser's chair recently enjoying my usual haircut when the hairdresser started chatting me up. After the usual pleasantries, she highlighted to me in a very light hearted manner that my hair or scalp was slightly oily.
(I have had oily hair for many years and I always thought that it was because I used too much gel when I was younger to style my hair. I switched to hair wax which was supposedly better but that did not stop my hair from being oily.)
After highlighting that fact, she went on to give me a diagnosis of the male pattern hair loss that I was facing and asked me questions about whether I had experience hair loss, receding hair line etc..
All this hit home quite hard as I have been pretty conscious about the fact that my hair line has indeed been creeping up my forehead and I looked a little bald from certain angles. Even some friends have told me that I looked like a fat and balding uncle on facebook (thanks to candid and unflattering pictures of me that end up on facebook without me knowing...)
That is very sad. To be 28 and going on to 29 and to look bald is not a thought that I like entertaining very much. But everytime when I look in the mirror, I am certain that my hair seems to be getting much thinner and I will one day lose all my hair.
After much sales talk, she managed to convince me to buy a bottle of shampoo for $22. It has some teatree oil extract which is supposed to be good to keep my scalp less oily. I willingly parted with the money as I believe prevention is better than cure and I am willing to spend money to prevent myself from going bald. Her sales talk that preyed on my fear of losing hair was also really good.
After a few weeks of using the product, my wife has commented that my hair is no longer oily and is smooth and nice to run her fingers through. I am still not sure about the anti-hairloss function of the shampoo and can only wait it out for a few more years to see whether it is really effective.
Hopefully this will turn out to be one of my better investments.
