Gilbert Sterl used to work for Hairdreams GmbH at the headquarters office in Graz, Austria. He began in 2004 as a manager in the telemarketing division, and became the Head of Sales for the New Clients Department for the German language market in 2010. Today, Gilbert is based in Singapore as the CEO of Hair&Soul, the official distributor of Hairdreams in Asia Pacific.
Tell us about your tenure as the CEO of Hair&Soul.
From the day I accepted the challenge to run a company in Asia, my life changed completely. I grew up in Europe and my intercultural experiences were limited to the western part of the world. I had to learn about the Asian culture and market, so I traveled between Austria and Singapore for the better half a year. I was living in different places every couple of weeks and needed to hand over my old job to my successor and prepare for my future challenge. Once I settled in this nice city, I had to orientate myself within a new environment, make new contacts and communicate in an unfamiliar language. Fortunately, it turned out that Singaporeans are very friendly, helpful and courteous.
All this time distributing Hairdreams, how would you describe the brand?

Summer Hair Care
Just as the sun damages your skin, it can damage your hair too. Saltwater and chlorine also take a toll on our tresses. A few weeks into summer, hair that was once shiny and easily managed looks and feels fried. Hair damage is most obvious when we see colourtreated hair becoming faded, bleached, and brassy. Even hair that isn't coloured will suffer from suninduced stress. Those UV rays dry out hair and rough up the normally smooth cuticle of the hair shaft.
Why Is Your Hair Dry?
Do you dream of having the luxurious, silky hair of a shampoo model instead of dry hair? Understanding the root cause of dry hair and taking action may be all you need to get the locks you long for.
Thinning Hair Tips
Many factors can trigger thinning hair. Possible triggers include medical conditions, stress, lifestyle factors — such as the food you eat — even genes can play a role. Hair will usually grow back once the cause is addressed. Here are some tips that can help care for thinning hair.

The Singaporean Hair Dressing Industry
I’ve always liked to link the food and beverages industry to the hair industry as they both have very humble beginnings, both driven by passionate people and both employ people from all skill levels. However, the general population has a vastly different perception, with the main distinction that they eat 2-3 times a day while only visiting a salon once a month, or even once a year, they have very little interest in the hair industry.
