00:00Thinning out.
00:06Losing hair.
00:09And getting fat.
00:11These are some of the problems of many of our fellow Filipinos.
00:17One of them is Jay, who shared his problem with losing hair in 2022.
00:23I really love taking photos and I always go out.
00:27I take photos of my fashion and with my work as well.
00:31I work in the advertising industry.
00:35But in 2017, he noticed that his hair was slowly losing its volume.
00:40My friends noticed that when they saw the photos that I took that time.
00:45Why does it look like there's a pock-knot in my crown area, which is the hair.
00:49After they noticed that, my co-workers also noticed.
00:54And then that made me self-conscious.
00:57Along with losing hair, his self-confidence was also slowly losing.
01:04At that time, when I feel really low.
01:09It's hard to explain to my friends why it's like that.
01:12Why is my hair like that?
01:13I don't go out of the house when my hair is wet.
01:16I always let it dry.
01:17It was very low for me at that time.
01:19It's like my actions became limited.
01:22Jay's suspicions.
01:24In my family, we have a side where my cousins really get bald at an early age.
01:30So that's the initial thought that caused it.
01:34But since I'm playful when it comes to how I look.
01:38Since elementary, high school, I dyed my hair.
01:41It was also a cause that I bleached my hair.
01:46But according to Dr. Charmaine Salinas, a hair transplant surgeon.
01:50Hair loss does not affect the color or the way you wear your hat.
01:56It's just a myth.
01:58It doesn't really cause baldness.
02:02Because if it's really in your genes,
02:04at some point of your life, you are really destined to lose your hair.
02:09When Jay consulted a doctor,
02:11he discovered androgenetic alopecia.
02:16Or the slight thinning of hair strands.
02:19The reason is so that it can be easily washed or cut.
02:22He's experiencing androgenetic alopecia, which is permanent.
02:27Androgenetic alopecia is a common cause of hair loss.
02:30It's permanent hair loss.
02:32Wherein a patient would have receding hairline,
02:35their hair strands become thin.
02:38It's also possible that stress is the reason for hair loss.
02:42Sometimes, we have temporary causes of hair loss.
02:45When we are stressed, for example, we get sick,
02:48there are patients who lose their hair after getting sick.
02:53That's temporary.
02:55After 6-8 months, they recover and their hair comes back.
03:00But for people like Jay,
03:02his hair loss is not the end of the world.
03:06Hair transplant is also popular now.
03:10FUE
03:13Follicular Unit Excision or FUE
03:16is a type of hair transplant procedure
03:19where grafts of hair are extracted one by one,
03:22as well as hair on the back and sides of the head.
03:26Then, the grafts are planted on the sides of the head,
03:29where the hair grows.
03:31It grows 100% because
03:33we don't extract the hair from others.
03:36There's no rejection rate
03:38because it's all from the patient.
03:41FUE
03:43But the price is not a joke, my dear.
03:46Because you'll get hair when you get a hair transplant,
03:49but you'll lose your pocket.
03:54Surgery costs Php 100,000 to Php 400,000
04:00depending on the number of grafts or roots of the hair
04:02that needs to be transplanted.
04:05But the price of hair has already flipped
04:08because Jay is still fighting for his self-confidence.
04:12That's why he's saving it little by little.
04:15I was really eager that time to save up for the hair transplant
04:20because I wanted to finish my struggle,
04:24to gain my self-confidence,
04:26to not worry.
04:30And in 2019,
04:32Jay joined the first session.
04:36And in 2021,
04:38after saving up,
04:40he joined the second and last hair transplant session.
04:48Did you get a hair reveal?
04:54After two hair transplant sessions,
04:58he achieved a hair reveal.
05:04Along with the growth of his hair,
05:07his self-confidence grew again.
05:12And now in 2024,
05:14his hair is still healthy.
05:16Before, he used to hide his hair in his hat.
05:19Now, he's styling it with hair wax
05:22without fear of losing it.
05:25More hair, more confidence,
05:27this is what Jay wants.
05:29My hairline right now,
05:31I feel like I'm getting younger
05:35because it's lower now.
05:37In the middle, it's wet, dry, and covered.
05:42I'm really not conscious.
05:44It's not a problem anymore.
05:47Our hair is our crowning glory.
05:49That's why it's important to take care of it.
05:54Because a healthy hair is a sign of a healthy body,
05:57you can really be said to have long hair.
