Last night, a nice Indian shopkeeper (mama shop) attended to me when I wanna make my purchase. While waiting for me to dig my wallet, he mentioned that I should get Ruffles chips cos' they're having a promotion where they'll knock off S$4 off cinema tickets. I wanted to get that sinful bag of chips. Not because I want to stuff calories into my tub o' lard form, but just to acknowledge that this is the first time he had tried to make a sale with me. We usually just exchange smiles or the usual "how much?". Unfortunately that day my wallet decide to disagree with the man. Tonight... I'll be back!
I was browsing the net aimlessly and landed on a hair transplant website and I immediately thought of that indian man. Haha! I can, in one breathe, name all the people I know who is in need of this surgery. Most of them I know has hair thinning problem starting from the side of the crown receeding to the centre back leaving a tiny 'island in the centre front. Very Bruce Willis don't you think? If you can see it in a positively way, good for you, otherwise I might suggest you do something about it. Oh by the way, these people I have in mind are not over 35 years old yet!
Unfortunately, women are not spared from this phenomenon. From the website I discovered treatments available for the ladies too.
For women, the losing of hair is often very distressing. Most cases of hair loss in women are due to inherited female pattern balding, but medical conditions can also be involved, such as low thyroid levels, hormonal imbalances such as elevated testosterone, binge dieting, and pregnancy. Another cause of hair loss in women is the distortion of hair growth and scarring as a result of prior facial plastic surgery.
I better start to be careful as lately I've been losing a lot of hair but I believe mine is because of poor diet and also my hair is screaming for a trim. Its ok... I've got plenty of hair to spare :P I believe these problems will be more common for those over the age of 45 maybe? The before-and-after photos are pretty gruesome... I'm kinda worried now... no, wait... I shouldn't... hmmm....
