Hair Loss Confession Malaysia
Waking up early in the morning to greet another day as I was preparing myself for my daily routine.
Looking into the mirror and seeing a reflection of myself.
“ Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the prettiest of us all?”
No. I wouldn’t ask such a thing. Mine isn’t a magic mirror after all. If it were, I’ll be asking for
numbers. My hair reaches below my shoulder, it would have been long if I wasn’t asked to get a hair
cut. I used to have my hair reaches down till my waist level, prized it as a lovely asset to me. At times, I
love to let go of my hair to be blown by the wind while closing my eyes to enjoy those moments of
silence all to myself. While working, I’ll be tying up my hair high up to give me confidence and I can
be more concentrated and focus in my work.
When it comes to combing my hair, I’m afraid of my hair getting thinner as my hair kept falling off
after I combed it. I’ll be finding them on my clothes, on the chair, on the floor and all over the house.
My friend has thin hair and is afraid of going bald. So, every now and then, for some – change the
shampoo and conditioner. Or even friends who recommend to you the products to counter against hair
loss. Whatever options that’s available on hand, one will try it out as most wouldn’t like the idea of
going bald due to hair loss.
Hair is a part of our image and also a part of the first impression that others have on us. It makes up
our personality and helps to boost our self-esteem. The way we dress, the way we look reflects our
personality. If you think that only women are more conscious and care about their hair. That is not the
case. In a 2005 European study, 62% men stated that hair loss would affect their self-esteem. Once, I
saw a motorist who parked his motorcycle by the side of the road, then took off his helmet. Looking at
the side mirror, he took out his comb from his pocket and start combing his hair. One thing to note was
that his head was almost bald. If I were to meet him face to face, I wouldn’t be commenting about his
hair as it may hurt his feelings. At times, we say that we understand. We know but we don’t understand
unless we are having the same experiences/feelings like the other person. Knowing is one thing,
understanding is another.
Of course, having a strong and healthy hair does wonders for us. Like magic. Everywhere we go,
people will be looking at you and giving you comments. Hair is one of the most common topic among
the others. Saying things like, “Your hair is very long.” or “How long have you kept your hair?” or
“You have thick hair.” and etc. The list goes on and on. One girl told me that she wouldn’t want to tie
up her hair after straightening it as she was afraid of lines on her long, beautiful hair. In Guinness
World of Records, there’s a woman who used her hair to pull the vehicle and another who has the
longest hair all the way down to the floor. She can compete against Rapunzel.
Watching movies/anime/fairy tales will at times let some of us wander in the world of imaginations
with all the prince charming, princess and happily ever after. Not forgetting those words by the girl,
“You are my prince charming, my hero, my warrior, my knight in shining armor, my one true love.”
And the guy,
“You are my princess, my world , my everything, my one and only.”
For those whose hearts were melt once they hear those words will sometimes soon found themselves
dressing and hair styling like their favourite characters.
For some people, they’ll be dyeing their hair like their favourite celebrities or their favourite
actor/actress. Or even during football fever, one will style one’s hair according to one’s favourite
footballers. Go! Go! Goal! Ole! Ole! Ole!
We can do whatever we want with our hair – cut, bleach, dye, perm, straighten or whatever that we
like according to our preferences and liking. That is if we don’t face the hair loss issue. At that time,
one wouldn’t be in the mood to style it rather finding ways to stop or reduce hair loss be it the
traditional or modern method as long as one can put an end to it.
Hair loss is not only an issue when one’s age is on the increase that one would be facing such a
problem. Even among the teenagers, such an issue already exists. Hair loss may be attributed to stress.
One of my ex-classmate was having white streaks of hair while still schooling, being the top in maths.
One should find ways to release the stress – to destress.
We all need motivation in our everyday life in one way or another. Having a strong and healthy hair
will be an added advantage for us to walk out, step up, meet and talk to people with more confidence.
Caring for our hair is totally essential in this day and age. Having a strong, healthy and beautiful hair
does wonders for our confidence and attitude towards life.
Be it long hair, short hair, straight hair, curly hair,
It’s our lovely treasure that we care,
Hair loss appear,
Sending us into a state of fear,
High and low, up and down,
Everywhere, we search around,
For a cure, for a stop, finding ways to counter it,
So, our hair will be strong and healthy,
With hope in our heart,
That will never be apart.
Dealing with hair loss is more about the quality of life, image, identity, personality and self-esteem.
It’s about doing our best so that we can be at our best and for us to live with dignity, self-respect and
joy.
