Best Hair Tonics for Hair Loss in Singapore: Reviews 2023

WHY DO WE LOSE HAIR?


Hair loss is typically related to one or more of the following factors:

a. Family history
The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition that happens with aging. This condition is called androgenic alopecia, male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. It usually occurs gradually and in predictable patterns, a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair along the crown of the scalp in women.

b. Hormonal changes and medical conditions. 
A variety of conditions can cause permanent or temporary hair loss, including hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid problems.

Medical conditions include alopecia areata, which is immune system related and causes patchy hair loss, scalp infections such as ringworm, and a hair-pulling disorder called trichotillomania.

c. Medications and supplements. 
Hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs, such as those used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout and high blood pressure.

d. Radiation therapy to the head. 
The hair may not grow back the same as it was before.

e. A very stressful event. 
Many people experience a general thinning of hair several months after a physical or emotional shock. This type of hair loss is temporary.

f. Hairstyles and treatments. 
Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight, such as pigtails or cornrows, can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. Hot-oil hair treatments and permanents also can cause hair to fall out. If scarring occurs, hair loss could be permanent.



HOW TO PREVENT HAIR LOSS

Most baldness is caused by genetics (male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness). This type of hair loss is not preventable. These tips may help you avoid preventable types of hair loss:

- Be gentle with your hair. Use a detangler and avoid tugging when brushing and combing, especially when your hair is wet. A wide-toothed comb might help prevent pulling out hair. 

- Avoid harsh treatments such as hot rollers, curling irons, hot-oil treatments and permanents. Limit the tension on hair from styles that use rubber bands, barrettes and braids.

- Ask your doctor about medications and supplements you take that might cause hair loss.

- Protect your hair from sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet light.

- Stop smoking. Some studies show an association between smoking and baldness in men.

- If you're being treated with chemotherapy, ask your doctor about a cooling cap. This cap can reduce your risk of losing hair during chemotherapy.



WHAT IS HAIR TONIC?

Hair tonic or friction lotion is made of a combination of herbal ingredients and oil or alcohol to promote hair growth. They are usually used by those facing hair loss, dandruff or dry hair. Hair tonics usually promote blood circulation in the scalp and provide nutrients to the scalp.

If you think you could use a hair tonic, here are the best hair tonics you can find in Singapore!

Review
If you have any type of scalp problem, which my husband has this is a fantastic product. You need no special shampoo, just rub this tonic hair water after shampoo into your hair and scalp and it is gone. We used it in Germany for years, now my Mom died I could not get hair tonic anymore from Germany, Thanks to Amazon I could find it. had I known this before, it would have been cheaper to get it from Amazon. I want to mention "Schwarzkoph" is Germany's number one brand for hair care. The bottle is huge and lasts a long time. Great price. fantastic service and fast from the supplier.

Review
I used to slap this on my head when I was a young wide-eyed teenager back in the mid 1960's, to keep my hair looking good at the Saturday night dance. Fashions and hairstyles changed and now I am back with a more normal crop in my retirement, so I'll be slapping the 'Vitalis' on to keep my hair tidy and smelling nice again. It stands out from all the pomades, gloops, and other hair preparations on the market and I really like it. I did have to wait a couple of weeks before it arrived from The U.S.A, but it reached my door well before the estimated arrival date provided in the dispatch email. I give it a big thumbs up as I think it is the bee's knees in the male grooming stakes, allowing subtle control of the hair whilst still making everything look completely natural. The fragrance is very nice without being too overpowering. I'm a returning convert anyway.
