Hair treatment I experienced

Finally I consulted the medical centre that claim to be specialised in resolving the hair problems and re-growing you hairs. It really worked to relieve my poor hair scalp conditions. Less dandruff, less oily scalp and less hairs losing by using the wide range of shampoo products and medication offered. The hair consultant there used the video magnifying instrument to walk through my scalp and claimed that my pores were blocked with oil, making the hairs grow in a poor environment and the hairs got thinner. I got the treatment for over a year's time.

I would say, the treatment was good, but it was quite an expensive treatment. The was especially for a student like me at that time with no solid income. I needed to apply for a credit card at that time solely for the purpose of paying the medical expense for the hair treatment.

The other thing was that it would be quite a time consuming process, as I went to the medical centre once to twice a week to get the consultation from the consultant there, and then I needed to stay there to receive the medical treatment recommended by the consultant. The staff there will put the prescribed chemicals / medication all over my scalp, and then they will massage my head to facilitate the absorption of the medication by skin. ( The medication was for either removing the dirts and dandruff clocked over my scalp and pores, and / or nutrients that can boost the healthy growth of my hairs from a thin condition to become stronger and thicker, as far as I can remember )

After that, they will put a steaming machine over my head ( just like the one we found in ordinary hair dresser ), and this steaming process will last for 10 - 15 minutes. The process completed and then I will try to manipulate my hairs before leaving. But you may realise, my hairs and scalp were covered by chemicals , so the hairs were hard to manage, smelly and also quite greasy. Also I can not wash my hairs right away. I have to leave the hairs / scalp to absorb these medication so it generally took 6 - 8 hrs before I could go to clean up my hairs using the shampoo products offered by the medical centre.

The entire treatment process took about 45 - 60 minutes on average at the medical centre. If I were there at the peak hours , such as the after office hours, the medical centre will be crowed with patients, and so the time of waiting for the consultation and treatment can be quite significant. I would say at that time I was a student, I had the luxury to have ample time to wait and attend all the recommended treatment at the medical centre. Also I could go there at the non-peak hour to eliminate the waiting time, but for those who are working, I could hardly image if they could arrange such ample time to receive the treatment consistently in order to get the result.

Also, the medical centre provided quite a number of shampoo products for me to use : one for softening and removing the dirt and dandruff stuck on the scalp or pores, one shampoo that fit my hair type, one was the hair conditioner. The other 2 were the tonic - one for daytime and the other one for night time - I needed to use cotton sticks to put these liquids all over my head as recommended. So, as you can imagine, this was another quite time consuming process.

After over a year's treatment, and as I found my hairs condition improved ( of course not perfect, but least I will find not find my dandruff keep falling like snow when I scratch my head, some hairs fall together the dandruff ), I started to wonder if I should stop for a while in terms of the time spent and the money involved. The hair consultant there kept recommending me some new programs for me after the original treatment program finished. After all, I determined to stop. In fact, I did not finish the whole program of the last hair treatment exercise I bought from the medical centre.

After several years, I was graduated and was working, I found my hairs problem re-appeared again. I went to this medical centre again to receive the treatment. However, as far as I could remember, I only took one recommended program ( about 30 treatment per program ), but I did not finish it.
