Let’s be real. Washing your hair seems like a no-brainer. You lather up, rinse, slap on some conditioner, and call it a day. But what if I told you that you might be making some rookie mistakes that mess with your hair game?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We’ve all picked up a few bad habits along the way, and while your hair might look fine (probably not), these mistakes could be silently sabotaging your scalp health.
I used to be in the same boat, rushing through my hair routine (five minutes tops) and just neglecting my scalp. Then, there’s also my bestie, Kristine, who took “out of sight, out of mind” a little too literally when it came to her scalp.
And we all know how important the scalp is when talking about great hair.
I mean, Kristine is that friend who spends half of her paycheck on skincare (and her KPOP merchandise, but who is admin to judge) but completely ignores what is happening under her hair.
As someone who knows her a little too well, I booked her a session for the Scalp Purifying Therapy at TK TrichoKare for just S$48. And, well, Kristine still continued to deny reality and assumed her scalp was perfectly fine until she saw it magnified 200 times.
Spoiler alert: It was not fine.
We’re talking clogged pores, flaky patches, and enough grease to deep-fry a chicken (honestly, same girl). Realising she needed a serious scalp intervention, she left her fate in the hands of a TrichoKare specialist.
Here’s how it went down:
A consultant used the Tricho-Scan to magnify her scalp up to 200 times, exposing all the buildup, oiliness, and irritation that she had been blissfully unaware of (bestie really thought she had dry scalp because of the flakes).
But the real shocker? Her oiliness wasn’t from neglect but rather from overwashing. Her assumption of having a dry scalp led her to wash her hair more frequently. Stripping her scalp too often had triggered an overproduction of sebum, which even led to hair loss.
Turns out that too much of a good thing isn’t always good (the experts say you should wash only your hair once it’s oily, which differs from person to person).
Moving on, a specialist applied a Customised European Herbal Scalp Masque to deep-cleanse, unclog pores, and soak up excess oil. And then, she enjoyed an 8-step Aromatherapy Head & Shoulders Massage (admin is so not jealous), which helped to boost circulation and absorption.
Kristine’s scalp then got a much-needed reset with TrichoKare’s Nourishing Hair Bath, washing away buildup while keeping her scalp balanced.
A helpful tip we got is that you should only use your fingertips to wash your scalp. Since Kristine frequently uses styling products, the specialist recommended her to implement a second round of shampoo in her routine for a deeper cleanse.
The specialist also went in with the NanoMist Spray, evenly distributing a Customised Treatment Essence on the scalp, which hydrates and strengthens hair growth.
My favourite part was watching Kristine wear the Hair Bang. It’s basically a fancy infrared light treatment that detoxifies, rebalances pH, and stimulates hair follicles for healthier growth (all the fancy shebang because, haha get it).
Finally, it was time for the Post-Treatment Scalp Scan.
Revealing a whole new scalp, Kristine walked out a new woman (Alexa, queue New Woman by Lisa), and she would not shut up about it.
For just S$48, she got the ultimate scalp glow-up, just in time for her Hot Girl Summer (her words, not mine). Now, she can move on to maintaining her healthy scalp on a clean slate.
