My name is Calvin Tiansim, and I have been serving in the public sector in Kota Kinabalu for the past five years. I currently work with the State Ministry of Finance.
I love traveling because it allows me to create memories and enjoy new experiences. While I haven’t traveled very far yet—only as far as Indonesia and the Philippines—I especially enjoy visiting beaches. As someone who rarely wears a cap and prefers letting my hair down, I’ve noticed that constant sun exposure can sometimes take a toll on my scalp and hair.
I’m 28 now, and I don’t really remember when my hair loss first started. It happened so gradually that I barely noticed it. Thinking back, it may have begun as early as high school, or at least sometime around 2017 or 2018.
To try to resolve my hair loss in the earlier days, I tried anti-hair fall shampoos. But those didn’t really work and many of them contained harsh chemicals.
To conceal my hair loss, I sometimes used matte hair powders on my scalp. It helped reduce the shiny look from thinning areas and made my hair appear a bit thicker.
Losing my hair made me feel less confident, especially when family and friends pointed it out and commented on how thin it looked. I wasn’t particularly upset about it, but each comment made me a little more conscious of my hair loss and affected my confidence. But despite it all, my hair loss didn’t affect my interactions much. I didn’t feel overly embarrassed.
What I don’t like about hair loss is how thin my hair looks. I always joke that if I had a face like The Rock, being bald wouldn’t be an issue. (Laughs)
Another thing I don’t like about hair loss is how it has affected my enjoyment of swimming. I’ve always enjoyed swimming, but I couldn’t ignore how my thinning hair became more obvious once it was wet. It wasn’t something I obsessed over, but seeing my hair look flat and less dense did affect me.
I had gone for treatments at a few different places in Kota Kinabalu, but unfortunately, I didn’t see much change. I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted, so I still felt unsatisfied. After trying two different centers with no success, I didn’t give up—I kept looking and eventually found my way to Ooosh!™.
How did that happen? Well, I came across Ooosh!™ on Instagram and was impressed by the results people were getting. After talking it through with my family, we decided it was worth trying.
Of the treatments I’ve tried, Ooosh!™ has delivered the most noticeable results for me. That’s not to say the others aren’t effective—everyone responds differently. Personally, I didn’t see much improvement with the previous options, whereas I’ve experienced better progress with Ooosh!™, particularly as part of a more comprehensive program. Ooosh!™ was the first time I started taking supplements alongside treatment. The results have been encouraging, and I plan to continue maintaining them.
I started noticing obvious improvements to my hair in the fifth month. After seeing my hair regrow, I’m very glad. It’s not 100% yet, but there have been improvements and I also feel my confidence coming back.
Some of my colleagues actually noticed the change before I mentioned anything. They used to comment on my thinning hair, but after a few months of treatment, they started saying my hair looked much thicker. When they asked what I had done, I shared that I’d been going to Ooosh!™ at Plaza Shell.
I’ve been using Ooosh!™ for about six months now, and I’m happy to see improvements in my hair compared to before. I especially enjoy the microneedling sessions—they feel surprisingly good. The therapists are skilled, and the scalp massages are done very well, making the whole experience very relaxing. Alongside that, I regularly use the serum, shampoo, and supplements.
Before Ooosh!™, I just used normal shampoos from the store without really thinking about what was inside them. I didn’t know much about ingredients back then, but now I’ve become more mindful and stick to Ooosh!™ shampoo. I’ve also become more conscious about my lifestyle and diet.
For anyone experiencing hair loss, pay attention to your sleep, diet, and overall lifestyle. More importantly, don’t ignore the early signs. If you notice changes, take action early—it’s much easier to address the issue before it gets worse.
I’m Calvin Tiansim, and this is my Ooosh!™ story.
