Hope for hair

Tashiko Asahi, Kyoto

Like many Japanese women, I take pride in my appearance, checking that I look well-groomed and presentable before stepping out of the house - hair in place and a bit of make-up on. A women's hair is indeed her crowning glory and having a trick, full head of hair is definitely something to be proud of.

However, along with the irritability and hot flushes that come with menopause, I was saddened to note that I was also losing more hair than usual - after a shower, the drainage area would be clogged with hair. After a while, I was shocked to discover that at certain angles; you could even see my scalp and some sparse patches. Losing my hair greatly affected my self-confidence and after a while, I began to avoid mirrors because they proved too depressing. To cope with the loss of hair, I took to wearing a hairpiece or hat to cover up the balding areas and help my hair look fuller.

The turning point came when I was at a tea gathering. After taking off my hat, my friend's young daughter stared curiously and innocently asked,"Auntie Tashiko, why do you have so little hair?" That was when I knew I had to do something about my problem.

Over the years, I've tried many hair treatment products. Unfortunately, none of them were able to improve my condition. Worse, some of the treatments even dried out my hair. I tried to put my hair loss problem down to a natural condition that came with age, but it was hard when friends my age or a few years older were sporting thick full heads.

Sharing my hair loss woes with my good friend, she let me in on her secret: SHOKAIGAN Intensive Shampoo and Tonic. Like me, she once experienced thinning hair - losing many precious strands each time she brushed her hair or after a shampoo. Using the products together and faithfully massaging her scalp with the tonic twice a day helped encourage new hair growth, reduce hair fall and even improve the texture of her hair. As skeptical as I was, I had to try it out for myself and I'm glad I did!

The shampoo leaves a nice refreshing sensation after rinsing out, and I was amazed how it left my hair feeling silky smooth - all without which is very welcome during hot summer months, where temperatures in Kyoto can be as high as 39°C!

A few months later, my friends were amazed at how much fuller my hair seemed. Perseverance paid off handsomely - and after 8 months of using SHOKAIGAN, I now feel like I'm back in my 30's! I have not only regained my hair, but my confidence too!

And the best birthday present of all was from the same little girl, who came to my little birthday tea. After wishing me "Happy birthday ", she reached out to touch my hair and beamed, "Auntie, your hair is so pretty now."

"After a week, I noticed that my hair didn't fall as much as it used to. After using it every day for few weeks, I was happy to hear friends and relatives comment that my hair looked fuller... Even the texture has improved so much! Today, I've never been happier to look into the mirror and see a head full of hair again!"

I now have a full head of hair and no longer wear a wig!

"For the past few years, I wore a wig to go out - it was the only way I could stop feeling so self conscious of my thinning hair and bald spots. Wearing a wig was very uncomfortable and often left me hot and bothered. After a few weeks of using SHOKAIGAN, I could feel my hair becoming fuller. I now have a full head of hair and no longer wear a wig - SHOKAIGAN lets me enjoy life and feel proud of my hair. It works for my husband too!" - Kayo Sato. Tokyo, Japan
