How To Know If You Have a Hair Loss Problem

1. Itchy Scalp

Ever felt that your scalp is constantly itchy? For some, this is a sign of hair loss. Excessively rubbing, scratching and brushing your scalp can actually damage your hair follicles. This tends to be a sign of hair loss.

2. Excessive Hair Falling

Losing hair everyday is totally normal. In fact, we shed an average of 50 to 100 strands of hair a day. However, if you start to notice a lot of hair left on your pillowcase, in your combs, brushes or collecting at the end of your shower, then you are likely to have a hair loss problem.

3. Scalp Becomes Visibly Noticeable

If your hair used to be as thick as a lion’s mane but isn’t the case anymore, it could mean that you have a hair loss condition. Also, if your scalp and skin are more visible now more than ever, it is also a sign that you have been losing hair.

4. Circular or Patchy Bald Spots

For some people, they may experience smooth, coin-sized bald spots. This usually affects just the scalp. At times, your skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out.


What Causes Hair Loss?

Best Hair Loss Treatments

Aesthetic Clinics

1. Nassim Plastic Surgery

Nassim Plastic Surgery is a trusted destination for those seeking hair loss treatment in Singapore. The clinic offers hair transplant surgeries that can transplant up to 6,000 hair grafts , depending on the patient’s needs. During the procedure, the doctor will remove hair (or grafts)  from the healthy scalp at the back of the head (donor area). The donor site is carefully trimmed and concealed with remaining hair wherever possible. Dr Janna, who performs the hair transplantation, has experience in both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (strip technique) but routinely does more FUE now. The donor grafts are examined and transplanted to thinning or bald spots on the head. The process takes several hours and can be done under both local anaesthesia or sedation. Dr Janna will assess and discuss with each patient where the hair will come from and where it will be placed, ensuring a tailored approach to achieve the patient’s desired outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Loss Treatments in Singapore

Can You Do Hair Loss Treatment While Pregnant?

Due to the change in hormones, about 2% to 3% of women may suffer from hair loss as a symptom of hypothyroidism. Some pregnant women may also experience hair thinning due to shock or stress to the body. Although this change in hair volume is not permanent, we suggest contacting your doctor about underlying hair loss issues, and the clinic itself to know if it’s safe to undergo treatments while pregnant.

How To Prevent Hair Loss Issues?

healthy hair tip

Apart from treating your hair with good care, there are many things you can do to slow or stop hair loss. Below are some tips that can help prevent hair loss problems.

1. Eat More Protein-Based Foods

Eating more protein can increase keratin, which is a type of protein needed for strong follicles. Healthy choices include foods like eggs, nuts, beans and peas, fish, low-fat dairy products, chicken, and turkey.

2. Massage Your Scalp With Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is known for its hair strengthening properties and can help prevent hair damage from grooming and ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The lauric acid found in coconut oil can also promote better blood flow and help with regrowth.

3. Be Gentle with Your Hair

Your hair is very fragile so remember to handle it with care! Skip tight braids or high ponytails that may pull on hair at the root and potentially lead to excessive shedding. Also avoid using heat stylers, like curling or straightening irons which can further damage the hair shaft.

4. Stay Healthy, Positive and Happy

Sometimes stress can lead to hair loss problems. So, de-stress yourself by staying healthy and happy. Do things you enjoy and keep yourself active with productive activities like cooking, reading and exercising. Alternatively, you can do meditation and yoga which can reduce stress and restore hormonal balance.

5. Avoid Smoking

Previous research has shown that there’s a correlation between hair loss and smoking in men. Therefore, in order to minimize the risk of hair loss, it is recommended that you avoid smoking.

6. Protect Your Hair

We tend to forget that our hair requires equal care against harmful rays and ultraviolet light. It is important that you protect your hair from sun exposure if you are already experiencing hair loss, because sunlight exposure can cause hair breakage. So wear a hat or stay in the shade when you can!
