NON SURGICAL HAIR RESTORATION BY SEQUINS HAIR STUDIO @DAMAI - PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BY BLOGGER ALFRED ALLEN

Blogger Mr Alfred Allen (Middle) group photo with Ms Eve (Managing Director of Sequins Hair Studio) and Ms Jilian assistant team

The most terrifying condition for a male to encounter is losing their hair at the certain age level. Getting bald means our ego and confident in jeopardize.

According to some study case, male baldness also occurs from their habit and bad lifestyle, however, some may inherit from their parent's genetics.

As for my condition, I guess I'm having both!

Here some research I encounter over the search engine regarding Male Pattern hair loss:

In order to determine the best course of treatment for hair loss, it is important to understand the progression. The Norwood-Hamilton scale is the generally accepted standard to measure the extent of hair loss in men.

The most common type of male hair loss is called androgenetic alopecia, often referred to as “male pattern baldness” or “male pattern hair loss.” Male pattern hair loss is responsible for hair loss in about 90% of men. It can begin as early as the teens or twenties and is caused by a combination of genetic predisposition and male sex hormones.

There are several different patterns for male hair loss. The most common are a receding hairline beginning at the temples, thinning at the crown of the head (also called the vertex), and general thinning of the hair across large areas of the scalp without much direct change to the hairline. Men can experience one of these patterns of hair loss or a combination of all three.

The Norwood-Hamilton Scale outlines the different stages of male pattern hair loss. Vertex stages show hair loss at the crown of the head, while the “A” patterns demonstrate a more dramatic pattern of hair loss. Although this type of hair loss impacts less than 10% of men, it often appears more severe because hair loss is concentrated in the front of the head.

Oleh Willie Jude Junaidi
bhnews@bh.com.my

KOTA KINABALU: Ketua Menteri Sabah, Tan Sri Musa Aman hari ini melancarkan kemudahan WiFi percuma bagi bandar raya ini iaitu 'KK City WiFi'.

Kemudahan WiFi itu membolehkan orang ramai mengakses internet secara percuma di sepanjang Jalan Tuan Fuad Stephens iaitu dari kompleks beli-belah Oceanus hingga ke Suria Sabah.

Ketika melancarkan kemudahan itu di sini, sebentar tadi, Musa berkata, 'KK City WiFi' bakal tambah memajukan produk pelancongan tempatan, sekali gus menaikkan imej bandar raya ini.

"Ia juga landasan mewujudkan inisiatif awam pada masa akan datang dalam membangun serta memantapkan rangkaian digital e-kerajaan.

"Saya yakin ia berupaya menarik lebih banyak pelaburan langsung asing (FDI), seterusnya menjadikan Kota Kinabalu mesra perniagaan dan selesa untuk didiami serta dilawati," katanya.

Yang turut hadir ialah Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia, Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak; Menteri Pelancongan, Kebudayaan dan Alam Sekitar negeri, Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun dan Datuk Bandar Kota Kinabalu, Datuk Yee Boon Hai.

Musa berkata, pelancaran 'KK City Wifi' juga bakal menjadikan Kota Kinabalu bandar raya hab digital.

Bersandarkan kepada teknologi dalam bandar raya pintar, pengguna boleh melakukan kerja di mana dan pada bila-bila masa.

"Ini membolehkan masyarakat melakukan banyak perkara dalam satu masa dan sudah tentu dapat meningkatkan keberkesanan serta produktiviti negeri dan negara kita," katanya.

Sehubungan itu, beliau meminta warga bandar raya ini, peniaga mahupun pelancong untuk mengaplikasikan sepenuhnya kewujudan 'KK City WiFi' untuk manfaat dan faedah bersama.

Terdahulu, Salleh berkata, pelaksanaan projek diterajui Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) dengan pihak swasta itu, seiring matlamat Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) dalam menambah baik infrastruktur komunikasi di Sabah.

"Menerusi peluang ini, saya berharap pengusaha atau usahawan produk tempatan dan perkhidmatan di negeri ini, khususnya di Kota Kinabalu memanfaatkan rangkaian WiFi ini bagi perluasan pemasaran produk dan perkhidmatan," katanya.
