Your scalp is the foundation of your hair. To achieve thick, lustrous hair, you ought to take good care of it, which doesn’t sound like rocket science, right?
However, our lifestyle and habits may be doing the exact opposite. What happens next? You splurge on fancy shampoo and conditioner, hair serums, and styling products, all in the name of beautiful hair. But it turns out that all that product is building up, even with regular shampooing. As a result, the volume and texture of your hair change.
If your scalp could speak, what would it say? Stressed out? Suffocated?
Great Hair Comes from A Healthy Scalp
It occurred to me that I wasn’t doing haircare properly after a trip to TK TrichoKare, despite the fact that I have been getting my haircut done bi-monthly and rarely colour my hair. If you haven’t heard, TK TrichoKare is the first and leading Trichological Centre that provides customised European Herbal Hair Remedies, validated by certified Trichologists, and products formulated by professional herbalists.
The consultation at TrichoKare begins with filling out a form indicating the state of my hair, how frequently I wash my hair, the quality of my meals, and the amount of stress I experienced. These are factors that contribute to the condition of my scalp.
Next, my trichologist/ hair & scalp specialist uses Tricho-scan to analyse different parts of my crowning glory to provide a complete diagnosis. The lens magnified my scalp by 200 times on screen and the views were not glory at all. While I don’t suffer from irritation or dandruff, the quality of my scalp surprised me! My hair follicles appeared to be clogged which inhibits new hair growth and causes thinning hair strands.
But all is not lost at this stage, and my scalp certainly needs a detox.
According to my trichologist/ hair & scalp specialist, new hair strands are formed in the follicles, which are nourished by blood flow in your scalp. When dead skin and oil accumulate at the hair roots, this buildup blocks nourishing blood flow and inhibits new hair growth.
It’s also important to understand that our hair follicle produces sebum to protect the scalp, but excessive sebum production is where the problem starts.
Getting to the Root of a Healthy Scalp
The humid weather in Singapore also means we tend to perspire more, coupled with an active lifestyle, we ought to wash our hair regularly, but this isn’t always enough. To restore my scalp to a healthy state, I need to free my follicles from what’s building up at the roots. Here’s where TrichoKare’s Treatments comes to the rescue. After the consultation, I was brought to a treatment room for the customised detox session. The whole experience took about 2 to 2.5 hours.
My recommended treatment began with the application of a customised herbal masque formulated to purify my hair roots and scalp from impurities and excess sebum. It was left on my hair for around 15 minutes and has a cooling sensation. This was followed by a revitalising hair bath – using TrichoKare’s shampoo and conditioner, which helps the scalp restore its sebum balance and cleanses away any remaining impurities, at the same time, the scalp massage soothes my mind.
Now my scalp feels refreshed, it’s time to nourish it.
Based on my scalp condition, I received a customised ampoule (Peptide) which promotes hair growth and thickness, reduces inflammation, and delays scalp ageing. After the ampoule was put on my hair root and scalp, the OxyJet machine, which generates pure oxygen was used to boost absorption of the peptide ampoule into my scalp, improving cell metabolism and blood flow.
The treatment was concluded with eight minutes of Photodynamic Therapy. This infrared-light technology stimulates the repair of cells and promotes hair renewal. All in all, it was a pain-free and relaxing experience.
The Result
My trichologist/ hair & scalp specialist did another round of scan to show me the state of my scalp after the treatment. The surface of my scalp looks relatively less congested than before. I don’t think I’ll be able to achieve this result with DIY haircare at home.
The scalp is a very delicate area, and it needs to be treated with care. If we don’t take good care of our scalp, it can become inflamed and irritated, causing problems such as dandruff, hair thinning and worst, hair loss. Think of your scalp as the soil and your hair as the plants it grows, you can’t grow healthy plants from poor soil.
