Gary V sings goodbye to thinning hair

MANILA, Philippines – Gary Valenciano, the ultimate entertainer, recalls the time when he first noticed early signs of his thinning hair. “Before, my hair was really thick. But even then, I could see on the video a bald spot starting to show at the top of my head when I bowed before an audience after  a performance,” he relates. He got worried even more when he noticed  an alarming number of hair strands left on his white towel after washing his hair. Even  his hair stylists started to drop hints.

“I was aware that we are allowed to lose a certain number of hair strands per day, but mine was alarming. It scared me for a while, being in an industry where looks matter,” Gary says. “What’s more, hair loss runs in our family. My brother and grandfather both lost their hair, although my dad still had a full head of hair at 87.”

Gary did not have to think twice about taking charge of the situation. He had been hearing about Novuhair, the natural solution to hair loss. “So, I finally tried it,” he shares at the recent launch of an enhanced formulation of Novuhair.  “In a matter of weeks, I noticed that the hair strands were no longer falling like before. I think one reason my hair didn’t fall that much is because it had added strength. I’m not a doctor, I don’t know how this thing works, but it does.”

He adds, “I’ve never endorsed any product in the past unless I have first used it. If I endorse it, it’s because I believe in it, especially if it has something to do with my health.”

“We already had a very good product. Now, it’s even better, with 19 natural ingredients,” says Sheila Mae Velilla, president and CEO of Nutramedica, developer  and distributor of Novuhair. “It is the only topical scalp lotion on the market that has the highest concentration of natural ingredients. From 12 natural ingredients, we enhanced  it even more with an additional seven natural ingredients. The improved formulation  has a much better fragrance and a cool, minty feel. It also has anti-dandruff properties  as well as nourishing and moisturizing effects on the hair and scalp. ” 

“Novuhair is a combination of standardized herb extracts, essential oils, and nutrients that penetrate deep into the hair follicles to rejuvenate and nourish hair as well as hydrate the scalp and stimulate blood circulation,” explains Dr. Edwin A. Bien, a wellness and integrative medicine specialist. “It not only arrests hair loss but also promotes hair growth.”

Excessive hair shedding and hair thinning, as well as the appearance of bald patches, are some of the early warning signs of hair loss. People who take a lot of medication, who are exposed to a lot of chemicals or pollutants, or are sick with some auto-immune disease such as diabetes are more prone to excessive hair loss. Hormonal changes, poor diet, and even stress can cause hair loss, Dr. Bien points out. “But even if it runs in the family, you can delay early baldness,” he says. “Novuhair topical scalp lotion is a safe and natural solution. It is nature’s answer to hair loss.”

Proudly Philippine-made, Novuhair was developed by expert scientists and researchers. Produced in accordance with the highest-quality specifications of the industry, it has been proven to be safe and effective. Among its 19 natural ingredients are moringa oleifera which promotes healthy skin and hair and prevents hair fall, panax ginseng which nourishes the scalp, and ginger which stimulates the hair bulbs and enhances blood circulation.  Rosemary and lavender also enhance blood circulation, while black pepper, lemongrass, and peppermint disinfect and refresh the scalp as well as relieve itching. Aloe vera has anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Indian gooseberry spurs luxurious black hair growth and prevents hair graying, while virgin coconut oil cleanses and moisturizes the scalp and helps control dandruff.

VCO also serves as a natural preservative. Novuhair is paraben-free. It is available in a 3-in-1 pack of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.

Novuhair is FDA-certified as well as halal-certified. It is 100% compliant with the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD). “We have enhanced the product to be globally competitive and are ready to expand the business in the USA, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia,” Velilla informs us. “The first batch of shipment to the USA will be available in California by the second quarter of 2016. The company has also obtained partnership with a distributor in Kuwait and is currently facilitating product registration in Denmark.” 

“I am thankful that there is this product,” Gary Valenciano says. “I can take a bow confidently before my audience and not have to worry about no more hair. Do I color my hair? Of course, I do. Novuhair is not a darkening agent for the hair. It’s to make sure you have hair to darken in the first place,” he quips.
