Here's Why Chemical-Based Products for Hair Loss Might Not Work For You


Desperate times call for desperate measures. When you’re losing tufts of hair or seeing bald patches on your scalp, it’s but natural to feel the need to do something about it. 


Will you tell a friend or go immediately to a doctor? Will you hide the “shame” under the guise of a wig? While it’s quite hard to decide, there’s no way but people still find themselves falling in line over-the-counter (O.T.C.). And what’s on their hands? Chemical-based hair loss products. 

Here are some of the reasons why they impulsively buy these items:
a.) They claim to be effective. 
b.) They say the healing effects are felt quickly. 
c.) They are widely available. 
d.) They appear to be cheaper. 
e.) They claim to be safe.

Sounds tempting, though, be wary enough that once you delve into the nitty-gritty of these products available to allegedly promote hair growth, you’ll see why they may not exactly be a perfect fit. 

These are some of the negative possibilities when you use chemical treatments:

1. Serious side effects like tightness in the chest, difficulty in breathing, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and swelling of the hands and feet. These are actually some of the possible side effects of the hair loss drug Minoxidil, which is said to cease hair loss and promote hair growth. 
2. Most chemical products say they can “treat” alopecia, but reading the fine print will lead you to discover that it actually just slows the progress of hair loss. Little is said as well about these chemical treatments actually promoting hair growth. 
3. These products or “treatments” usually contain a variety of chemicals that may or may not cause allergic reactions. It pays to check the labels. Some chemical-based products may actually be presenting the side effects as the main effects. Let the internet help you on your personal research.

There may be safer and effective alternatives out there, but NOVUHAIR is a stand out among the rest. It has 19 natural ingredients—standardized herbal extracts, essential oils and co-factor nutrients that work in synergy and have been clinically proven to help stop the progression of hair loss, aid in stimulating hair growth, and reduce excessive hair shedding. 

NOVUHAIR is available in the Philippines at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide, Seafood City supermarkets and other Filipino/Asian stores in the USA and online at www.novuhair.us and at BeeOrganic in Kuwait. International online orders are also possible through regaloservice.com. 

For more information, you may visit www.novuhair.com or contact hotlines 4136570 and 09228830575.

Don’t make yourself fall as the next victim of the trap. Be smart; choose natural.

Global Tourism Players Gather For A Business-To-Business Encounters

Global market players in the tourism sector will meet on November 16-17 at Clark, Asia’s newest darling of tourism, to conduct frontal B2B (business to business) meetings and listen to seminars on how best to use the digital platform to further tourism products and packages for the benefit of stakeholders and clients.



The TBEX Pilipinas 2017, organized by Afro Asian World Events for the Network of Independent Travel and Allied Services Philippines Inc. (NITAS) as beneficiary headed by Robert Lim Joseph, is a two-day event that is exclusively for buyers and sellers in the tourism sector. Thus far, it has an expected attendance of 200 buyers from the Philippines; 20 other travel agencies; 15 corporations and 50 foreign buyers. (TBEX stands for Travel Business Exchange), which began in 2013.

This much-awaited annual event seeks to promote further tourism activity not just for the Philippines but foreign destinations as well and enlighten the players on how to optimize their use of the digital space to promote their businesses as operators of airlines, hotel and restaurants, resorts and hospitality services/products and more.

“We have to realize that people no longer have to physically buy their tickets or make reservations to their destinations through the travel agencies. They can do it now with their smartphones and computers. This is why the global industry players must optimize their use of the digital technology as their markets are getting more technologically mature,” explained Joseph.

The official venue for the event is Midori Hotel and Casino Clark but has also engaged for the billeting of delegates the Park Inn Clark by Radisson; Quest Hotel and Conferafence Center Clark; Royce Hotel and Casino Clark and Widus Hotel and Casino Clark.

The event is co-organized by the Clark Development Corporation led by its hardworkingPresident and COO, Noel Manankil and he said “Clark has grown into a leading destination and as such we will promote sustainability and productivity in tourism through TBEX. It is also supported by the Department of Tourism, Tourism Promotions Board Philippines,Tourism Infrastructure Enterprise and Zone Authority, PAL, Informatics, Resorts World Manila and other industry supporters.”

On the first day, the sessions will dwell on the road map to digital travel, checkpoints in technology change; combatting price competition from a watchful owl’s eye and where shall I go, online or offline? and winning the booking through digital marketing.

The second day will have only one morning session with theme “makes me feel to work again and again” and will be followed by a timed (12 minutes each) B2B and a networking snack in the afternoon. The event will be capped by a gala party with theme “green angel” at the roof top garden of Midori.

In an endorsement of TBEX Pilipinas 2017 Tourism Secretary Wanda Tulfo- Teo said this activity pursues to be the leading and most productive B2B event organized by the private sector to generate more selling and buying movements within the industry to capture outstanding sales and profit either based on domestic, inbound or international travel.

She endorsed this “worthy tourism promotional and marketing exercise and enjoins all stakeholders and players of the industry to participate.”

Angel Ramos-Bognot, Project Director of TBEX 2017 said this yearly event will further reinforce its commitment to the further development of responsible tourism focusing on regional tourism cooperation and business partnerships for the benefit of all industry players and communities. She added that the flavor of compassion and respect to the environment as a tangible elemental factor in tourism will benefit from this project through Bantay Kalikasan.

Jack Ma graces the launch of GCash that leads future of payments in Philippines at Ayala Malls

Alibaba Group Founder and Executive Chairman Jack Ma graces the launch of Globe Telecom's GCash - cashless payment system for Ayala Malls on Wednesday, October 25 at Glorietta 4, Makati City.

Together with him are (from L-R): Mynt President and CEO Anthony Thomas, Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu, Ant Financial Services Group CEO Eric Jing, Ayala Corporation President and CEO Fernando Zobel de Ayala, Ayala Land President and CEO Bobby Dy, and Ant Financial SVP and Head of International Operations Douglas Feagin.

GCash is poised to lead the future of payments in the Philippines following the recent joint venture of Ant Financial, Globe Telecom, and Ayala Corporation which is seen to speed up the country’s digitization to make the lives of Filipinos much easier.

This developed as Chinese tech billionaire Jack Ma graced the opening of the Philippine retail industry to electronic payments through GCash. Ma was joined by Ant Financial Services Group CEO Eric Jing, Ayala Corporation President and COO Fernando Zobel de Ayala, Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu, Ayala Land President and CEO Bobby Dy, and Mynt President and CEO Anthony Thomas.

“Imagine a day when you can shop and buy cinema, bus and train tickets with a simple scan of your personal GCash QR code in your smart phone. The convenient daily life of 520 million Alipay users are enjoying will soon be realized in the Philippines. In the past months, Ant Financial has worked closely with GCash product of Mynt, as we are dedicated to bringing digital financial services to our friends in the Philippines.



Technology is helping more people to enjoy the benefits of digital financial services in a cost-effective, efficient and safe way. I hope we may share our technologies and experiences with our partner, helping them to better serve more local users," said Ant Financial Services Group CEO Eric Jing.



“We are thrilled to mark this special milestone with Mr. Jack Ma, and Mr. Eric Jing of Ant Financial — it goes without saying that we are very pleased to partner with Ant Financial, given their level of experience and expertise in this field. We look forward to innovating and evolving with the Filipino consumer, together. This day marks a special moment in the history of technology and payments in the Philippines — this launches the first broad application of such technology, and marks GCash as the leader in this space,” said Zobel de Ayala said.


Ayala seeks to promote financial inclusion for the underserved Filipinos. In doing so, it continuously invests in creating new channels and access points that broaden payment and lending options for all.

The partnership with Globe and Ant Financial Services Group, one of the world’s leading digital financial services providers and parent company of Alipay is aligned with Ayala’s recent strategic investments to meet the people’s changing needs, and accelerate the development of the Philippines’ digital economy.

Meanwhile, Cu noted that the partnership is now bearing fruit. 




“We are happy to share the initial successes that will disrupt payment methods in the Philippines. In this country, only 5% of the population have credit cards, leaving almost everybody to carry cash all the time to pay for something. Today, we are introducing the 3rd method of payment -- GCash. We found the right partner and the right time to really scale up the business and change the way we use financial services.”
“Now that more people are using data on their smartphones, the time is ripe to enable digital payments using the smartphone and let this go mainstream. Our challenge today is to make digital payments the preferred choice among our customers instead of cash or credit cards,” he added.


Through GCash, particularly the scan to pay feature of the GCash App, Filipinos can now experience the convenient cashless lifestyle.

The new payment option is a game changer for both consumers and merchants. It allows customers to pay for goods and services by simply using their smartphones to scan QR codes displayed by merchants and establishments.

On the other hand, business owners also benefit from not having to install expensive machines as they are provided with a QR code sticker which buyers can scan to pay. Customers pay the exact amount, removing the need for coins or change. GCash sees this solution working not just for organized trade but even for the ambulant vendors.

Joining GCash in showcasing the future of payments in the Philippines is Ayala Malls. Known as a retail innovator, Ayala Malls is a perfect catapult for GCash to reach thousands of consumers while also improving the customer experience for Ayala Malls shoppers.

Glorietta is the first Ayala Mall to offer the GCash payment system in many of its shops and restaurants, as well as its cinemas. GCash will be rolled out very soon to other Ayala Malls such as Greenbelt, TriNoma, Market! Market!, Alabang Town Center, Ayala Center Cebu, Bonifacio High Street, UP Town Center, Ayala Malls The 30th, Ayala Malls Vertis North, and Ayala Malls South Park.



With the GCash scan to pay feature, Ayala Malls customers can catch up with the cashless experience of shoppers in other countries.

GCash is an internationally-acclaimed mobile wallet service of Mynt which can be used to buy load, pay bills, send money, and pay for goods and services whether online or offline.
