Over 53% of Singapore Women Polled Report Hair Loss as Primary Hair Concern
Have you noticed more hair in your shower drain lately?
As aesthetic professionals who’ve helped thousands of customers at Wellaholic overcome their hair loss concerns, we understand how distressing this can be. Through our combined experience at Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia, we’ve seen that hair loss affects both men and women of all ages. The good news is that many cases of hair loss can be prevented or slowed with the right approach.
We’ve put together seven proven strategies that work for our customers, from simple lifestyle changes to advanced treatments. These methods come from our direct experience in treating hair loss at our clinics, and we’re excited to share them with you.
Method 1: Add Iron in Your Diet for Hair Health
At Wellaholic, we see many customers who worry about hair loss. Through our experience, we know that iron plays a key role in hair growth. Iron helps carry oxygen to your hair follicles, which they need to grow strong and healthy. When we check with our customers who have hair loss, we often find they have low iron levels. This is more common in women, especially during their monthly cycle or after pregnancy.
We tell our customers that the best way to get more iron is through food. Red meat is the top source, but if you don’t eat meat, you can try other options. We suggest dark leafy greens like spinach, beans, and fortified cereals. Here’s a tip we share at our clinics: eat these iron-rich foods with fruits high in vitamin C, like oranges or strawberries. The vitamin C helps your body absorb the iron better. If you exercise a lot or follow a vegetarian diet, you might need to pay extra attention to your iron intake for healthy hair growth.
“Don’t let hair loss define you; take control and find the right solutions for you!”
Method 2: Add Protein in Your Diet for Hair Health
At Wellaholic, we see many customers who want thicker, healthier hair. Through our experience, we’ve found that adding protein to your diet is one of the best ways to improve hair health. Hair is made mostly of keratin, a type of protein, so eating enough protein helps create strong, healthy hair strands. We suggest eating protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meats, fish, nuts, and beans at every meal. For our vegetarian customers, we recommend combining different plant proteins like tofu, lentils, and quinoa to get all the amino acids your hair needs.
We’ve noticed that customers who boost their protein intake often see positive changes in their hair within a few months. The right amount of protein depends on your body weight – most adults need about 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. For example, if you weigh 60kg, aim for 48-60 grams of protein daily. While protein supplements can help, we prefer getting protein from whole foods since they provide other nutrients that benefit hair health too.
Approximately 20% of Singaporean women experience hair loss, with the majority being post-menopausal, based on a study compiled by Wellaholic.
Method 3: Consider the Mediterranean diet for Hair Health
At Wellaholic, we often recommend the Mediterranean diet to our customers who want to improve their hair health. This eating plan is rich in raw vegetables, fresh herbs, and healthy fats that can help reduce hair loss. We see great results when people eat foods like salmon, nuts, and olive oil, which contain omega-3 fatty acids that strengthen hair follicles. The diet also includes plenty of eggs and Greek yogurt, which provide the protein and biotin needed for healthy hair growth.
We tell our customers that this diet works well because it cuts down on processed foods and simple sugars that can cause scalp inflammation. Instead, it focuses on whole foods that deliver key nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin D to the hair follicles. Many of our customers who follow this diet notice their hair becomes stronger and shinier within a few months. Plus, it’s an easy diet to follow since it doesn’t ban any food groups – it’s all about eating fresh, whole foods in the right portions.
Method 4: Use Over-the-counter Hair Loss Medication for Hair Health
At Wellaholic, we see many customers who want to try hair loss treatments at home before moving to more advanced options. Over-the-counter medications can be a good starting point. The most popular choice is topical minoxidil, which comes in 2% and 5% strengths as a liquid or foam. We often suggest the 5% formula for men and 2% for women. This medication helps blood flow to the scalp and keeps hair in its growth phase longer.
We’ve noticed that customers who combine minoxidil with DHT-blocking shampoos and biotin supplements often get better results. These products are easy to use and don’t need a prescription. But we always remind our customers that hair regrowth takes time – usually 4 to 6 months before seeing changes. For the best outcome, we suggest using these treatments as part of a daily hair care routine.
Method 5: Microneedling for Scalp for Better Hair Health
At Wellaholic, we see amazing results when we combine microneedling with other hair growth treatments. The process creates tiny punctures in the scalp, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This healing process boosts collagen production and increases blood flow to the hair follicles. We’ve noticed that our customers who receive microneedling treatments often experience better absorption of hair growth products like minoxidil, making their overall treatment more effective.
The science behind scalp microneedling is quite fascinating. When we perform this treatment, we use a specialized device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries. These small wounds stimulate the release of growth factors and activate stem cells in the hair follicles. Through our experience at our aesthetic outlets, we’ve observed that most customers start seeing positive changes in their hair growth after 3-6 months of regular treatments. The best part is that microneedling is suitable for both men and women dealing with pattern hair loss.
Method 6: Scalp Booster with Mesotherapy and Electroporation
HairGrow Scalp Booster uses two proven technologies of WellaBoost – Method One (High Pressure Jet Spray) and Method Two (Electroporation). At Wellaholic, we’ve seen remarkable results with our Scalp Booster treatment, which combines mesotherapy and electroporation technologies. This advanced treatment delivers vital nutrients directly to the hair follicles through two methods. First, we use a high-pressure jet spray to introduce a special blend of vitamins, minerals, and growth factors into the scalp. Then, we apply electroporation, which creates tiny, temporary channels in the skin cells to enhance the absorption of these nutrients. Our customers love this treatment because it’s painless and requires no needles, unlike traditional mesotherapy.
We’ve noticed that this dual approach works exceptionally well for various hair concerns. The treatment helps stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve blood circulation to the scalp. Many of our customers at Wellaholic report seeing thicker, healthier hair growth within just a few weeks of starting treatment. What makes this method particularly effective is its ability to increase nutrient absorption by up to 17 times compared to topical applications alone. Plus, there’s no downtime, so customers can return to their daily activities right after the session.
Method 7: Try Low-Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT)
At Wellaholic, we see amazing results when we use Low-Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) to help with hair growth. This treatment uses special red and near-infrared light that works deep in the scalp. The light helps wake up sleeping hair cells and gets more blood flowing to the hair roots. We notice that our customers at Wellaholic who try LLLT often see their hair become thicker and stronger after regular sessions. The treatment is simple – you sit under a device that sends gentle laser light to your scalp for about 15-20 minutes.
We love LLLT because it’s safe and doesn’t hurt at all. The laser light makes tiny power stations in your hair cells work better, which means more energy for hair growth. This treatment works well for both men and women who want thicker hair. Through our experience at our clinics, we’ve found that doing LLLT once or twice a week gives the best results. Many of our customers at Wellaholic choose this option because they don’t want to use medicines or can’t have hair transplants.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
FAQ 1: How long does it take to see results from hair loss treatments?
We’ve observed that results vary depending on the treatment method. For over-the-counter medications like minoxidil, expect to wait 4-6 months before seeing noticeable changes. With advanced treatments like microneedling or LLLT at Wellaholic, many of our customers start seeing improvements in hair thickness and growth within 3-4 months of consistent treatment.
FAQ 2: Is hair loss more common in Singaporean women or men?
While hair loss affects both genders, our research shows that about 53% of Singaporean women report hair loss as their primary hair concern. For men, the numbers are higher, with nearly 63% experiencing androgenetic alopecia. The causes often differ between genders, with hormonal changes playing a bigger role in women’s hair loss.
FAQ 3: Can dietary changes really help with hair loss?
Through our experience at Wellaholic, we’ve seen significant improvements in customers who modify their diet. The Mediterranean diet, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and raw vegetables, combined with adequate protein intake (0.8-1g per kg of body weight) and iron-rich foods, can strengthen hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.
FAQ 4: What makes microneedling effective for hair growth?
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the scalp, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process increases collagen production and blood flow to hair follicles. When combined with topical treatments, it enhances absorption of hair growth products by up to 17 times compared to regular application methods.
FAQ 5: Is Low-Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) painful?
LLLT is completely painless and non-invasive. During sessions at Wellaholic, customers simply sit under a specialized device for 15-20 minutes while the red and near-infrared light stimulates their hair follicles. It’s suitable for both men and women, and requires no downtime after treatment.
FAQ 6: What’s the best first step for treating hair loss in Singapore?
Based on our experience at Wellaholic, we recommend starting with a professional assessment of your scalp condition. This helps identify the root cause of your hair loss, whether it’s dietary deficiencies, stress, or genetic factors. From there, we can recommend appropriate treatments, ranging from dietary changes to advanced procedures like Scalp Booster or LLLT.
