A recent survey conducted by Haircarebear, Australia’s leading hair, skin, and nail supplement brand, uncovered that one in three Malaysians struggle with self-confidence related to their appearance.

“At Haircarebear, we believe that everyone is unique in their own way and every young individual should ‘glow’ brightly, embracing their unique beauty. Together with our retail partner Watsons Malaysia, we hope to inspire Malaysian youth self-assurance that radiates positively from within and supports them in building a healthy foundation for a vibrant future,” said Haircarebear Founder Jimmy Seervai, who was a finalist on MasterChef Australia with a background in food manufacturing.

In the survey, surprisingly, while Malaysians express confidence in their eyes, they spend the least on eye care. Facial attributes emerged as the second most significant factor influencing confidence, with 45% of respondents ranking facial features as the most attractive physical attribute.

Additionally, the survey also highlighted that Malaysians turn to social media and peers for confidence and inspiration, prioritising them over family.

Exploring the depths of youth self-confidence and its link to physical attributes, a meaningful panel discussion, moderated by Alexis Sueann, unfolded with influential personalities— model and singer Juwei Teoh, actress and social influencer Sharifah Rose, and Haircarebear Founder Jimmy Seervai, at today’s official launch event.

Engaging in vital conversations around personal and public perceptions of confidence, the discussion delved into the nuanced role of family, experiences, and societal expectations. Amidst candid shares and heartfelt stories, a consensus emerged: confidence is an inside-out journey, intertwining self-acceptance with kind, genuine online and offline interactions, and a nurturing environment that starts within our homes and communities.

"We are delighted to partner with Watsons Malaysia. Their capabilities and distribution network provide us with a robust platform to establish our presence in Malaysia. This partnership ensures that Haircarebear remains at the forefront of Malaysian consumers' minds when choosing vitamin supplements," Seervai further highlighted.
