Q: What exactly causes hair loss in China?

Is it something in the water? the pollution? malnutrition? other?

Is there anything you can do to prevent it?

Does it grow back after you move home?

First, it might be stress, to be honest.

 

Second, it might be a change in diet resulting in a significant decrease in protein and/or those minerals, etc., etc. needed to generate hair growth.

 

Thirdly, you may wish to undergo a thorough physical examination because there are maladies that can cause hair loss as well, some of them socially transmissible, some of them not.

 

If you are in a major city, just ask for the dermatology section of the No. 1 People's Hospital in that area.  My own experience is that the Chinese are pretty on top of this issue.

 

Consider your vitamin intake, too : D, K., etc., etc..

also genetics, might be something that runs in the family

The enzyme PGD2 is preventing hair follicles from maturing and therefore stopping them from working and growing hair in men. Stress, drugs and hormones can also affect hair loss.

Jackie knows because he endorses Ba Wang shampoo which helps prevent hair loss

  My wife suffers from hair loss, our place looks carpeted half the time. I don't know what causes it but beating the person who suffers from it doesn't help. Even if you beat her with an expensive hair treatment, you still have to sweep up afterwards. What a drag.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
