My first step was to speak to Winthrop Wong, Wellchem Pharmaceuticals’ director and the co-founder of Miriqa, a local hair and skin supplement brand.
“I’ve met a lot of men both professionally and personally. And I’ve noticed that hair loss is just not something we talk about very often,” he shared. Perhaps it’s because we have other things to focus on like taking care of our family, planning our career development, sports and games and current events. So is it a possibility that the topic on appearances may come across as something shallow?
“Not true. Although we don’t talk about things like hair loss often, it doesn’t mean we don’t talk about them at all. When we do bring the particular subject up, I’ve noticed that we are intrinsically and silently troubled about the subject, especially those with genetic predispositions,” Wong revealed.
