I’ve Finally Found The Perfect Customised Hair Treatment For My Hair Loss

You only live once, do whatever you want.

I heeded the above advice for my hair when I was young(er) so you can imagine all the crazy things I’ve done to my hair— colouring, perming, bleaching, and rebonding. You name it, I’ve probably done it.

It’s only when I started noticing significant hair loss that I stopped those hair “adventures”. And what I’m referring to is spotting a wider hairline and overall thinning over the years. The worst part was seeing an increasing bunch of hair strands on the floor when I cleaned my room at the end of the day. Certainly not a good feeling.

And that’s why when Topp Care Hair Solutions offered me to try out their customised hair treatment, I jumped on the opportunity with a million thanks.

Topp Care is located within Eastpoint Mall and it’s right beside Simei MRT station. I took the escalator up to the 3rd floor, walked a little, and spotted the outlet almost immediately.

The Moment Of Revelation

The truth hurts, but to know the condition of my scalp, I had to brace myself for the 1-to-1 consultation. After I was asked to fill up a short questionnaire, my hair & scalp specialist, Helen, greeted me with a smile.

She explained that she would be using a scanning machine that can zoom in up to 200x to take a closer look at my scalp. I was nervous but also curious to see the condition of my scalp. As much as my hair looks okay on the outside, it isn’t that pretty on the inside.

While looking at the scans generated, Helen asked if I had sensitive skin. And yes, she was spot on. She then explained that the reddish spots noted on my scans are a clear indication, since our scalps are part of our skin as well. I had a scalp scan done years ago but don’t recall having these red-looking bumps so I immediately knew things had gotten quite bad.

Helen also explained that there was an excessive sebum build-up on my scalp, clogging up my hair follicles. The white-yellowish stuff surrounding it isn’t dandruff (to my surprise), but a combination of oil and the residues left from my hair dye.

And mind you, I’ve already cut down on hair colouring from once a month to once every 2 to 3 months due to the fear of aggravating my hair loss condition. Who would have thought that the residues left are causing problems too?

I was also enlightened that a healthy hair follicle should have 2 to 3 strands of hair growing out of it, but a close look at the scans revealed that many of my follicles only had a pathetic strand. And that’s why when that precious strand falls and no new ones grow from it, there goes my follicle — it goes into a resting phase and might never grow back. It’s upsetting but I guess that explains the increasing little bald spots on my head.

Do I feel bad? Yes, you bet. But thankfully, all is not too late.

Helen recommended that I do a Dead Sea Masque which can:

Control and optimise sebum production
Eliminate excess oil and dead skin from pores and follicles
Detoxify by soaking up impurities via thorough scalp cleansing

Just perfect for my oily scalp concern. Note: Depending on your scalp condition, a different treatment could be recommended.

My Actual Treatment Process

My customised treatment started with a deep scalp cleanse followed by a generous amount of Dead Sea Masque application to my roots. I was left to rest for 20 minutes and let the masque work its magic in softening the accumulated sebum and effectively removing oil clogs, so that my follicles can “breathe” again.

Before I knew it, time was up and I was ushered to the hair-washing area for a revitalising rinse.

The therapist who attended to me told me to always use my fingertips and never my nails when washing my hair, which I think is a good tip for all of us to note.

I loved how thorough she was, making sure to leave no masque residue during the process. I was also treated to a little massage during shampooing before a conditioner was applied to the ends of my hair to conclude the wash.

Back at my station, the staff applied a moisturising hair spray before blow-drying my hair and applying a hair ampoule directly to my roots.

This regenerating ampoule is able to:

Stimulate hair growth
Boost immunity of the scalp
Strengthen hair follicles to enhance anchoring of hair

And here comes my favourite part of the hair treatment—a soothing massage. The massage was not just for my scalp but for my neck and shoulders too. It felt really good and I secretly wished the massage would last forever.

But nope, onward to the next!

I was treated to a Hair Growth Laser that emits non-invasive lasers to awaken my hair follicles and speed up regeneration, which definitely helps with stimulating hair growth and reversing thinning. It was slightly warm, which I enjoyed. After 20 minutes, Helen came back to check on me before removing the laser and leading me back into the consultation room.

Post-Treatment Consultation

My head felt lighter and though I was wearing a surgical mask, I could smell the pleasant scent of all the products used on my tresses. Compared to the revelations during pre-treatment an hour ago, I was also a lot more confident to see the condition of my scalp post-treatment.

My scalp scan machine was back at work and voila! Take a look at my before and after shots:

If one session could get me results like that, how much improvement in my hair loss would I see in a few more sessions? Topp Care’s customised treatment works! Hands down.

I was also slightly amazed at how I woke up with a less greasy scalp the next morning and a lasting herbal fragrance from my treatment. Somehow or rather, my hair looks thicker and fuller too!

European herbal hair remedies can help prevent hair thinning

Everybody knows that the hairstyle you wear is very important as it frames your face. So many of us invest in an expensive haircut, perm or dye to look good. However, we often overlook the importance of scalp care, because it is after all hidden under all that hair.

Unfortunately, poor scalp condition affects how your hair looks, no matter how expensive your haircut was. But the good news is that TK TrichoKare is here to solve the root of all your hair and scalp problems!

Many have complained about scalp treatments being unpleasant smelling, and that the smell was hard to get rid of even after days of washing. However, TrichoKare selects time-honoured, trichologically-validated premium European Herbs instead of Chinese herbs as they not only smell better, they penetrate the scalp faster. Some of the herbs include:

Burdock

A favourite medicinal herb for centuries, Burdock enjoys great popularity in Europe for various scalp treatments aimed at improving the strength, the shine and the thickness of the hair. It is also used in many herbal formulations to get rid of dandruff and scalp itch.

Rosemary

Rosemary is believed to slow down or even preventing premature hair loss and grey hair. When applied onto the roots and scalp, Rosemary is helpful in clearing many cases of dandruff and stubborn scalp problems while stimulating the follicles to grow thicker and fuller hair.

Nettle

Highly valued by herbalists to nourish the hair follicles and encourages healthy hair, nettles’ highly nutritious contents and effectiveness have been used for many generations in different cultures. Other abilities of nettles, to add softness and shine while preventing the appearance of excessive white hair has also been noted.

Jojoba

Herbalists use the rich and unique oil from the jojoba to remove sebum from the scalp and dissolve follicle blockages. In addition, it delays aging through its unique antioxidant properties which protect the hair and scalp from free radical damage so your hair looks shiny and manageable.

At TrichoKare, you will receive a customised treatment where a certified trichologist or hair specialist will prescribe a unique combination of hair tonic and hair mask, according to your scalp’s unique needs.

‘Trichology’ is the medical term for the study of the health of hair and scalp, and a trichologist is someone who specialises in hair and scalp problems. A trichologist often takes a holistic approach to treating your hair problems by considering your lifestyle, diet and general wellbeing, and then recommends lifestyle changes you should take to improve your scalp’s condition. Trichologists treat wide range of common hair problems, such as thinning, breakage, shedding and dry or itchy scalp.

I have a flaky scalp for as long as I could remember. Previously, I would purchase medicated shampoos and consult dermatologists, who would give me oral tablets and more medicated shampoos as well. These options only offer short-term remedy, and my condition often acts up again after a few weeks or during periods of intense stress.

I decided to give TrichoKare a try. Gladys, a hair specialist, analysed my scalp situation and tailored a unique program for my condition, which included treatments such as Hot Mask, Scalp Rebalancing Essence, and Infra-red Light Treatment.

After just one session, I could feel and see the results! My scalp pores were unclogged, the stubborn flakes were mostly removed, and my scalp feels smooth and cleansed. The care and concern they showed throughout the whole session made me feel more welcomed and ease as well. A few days on, my scalp still feels rejuvenated and there is noticeably and significantly less flakes (almost none, in fact!)

TrichoKare has been awarded the ELLE Beauty Treat List 2017 for Best Treatment for Hair Loss, Her World Spa Awards 2016 for Best Treatment for Damaged Hair, Harper’s BAZAAR Hair Awards 2016 for Best Sebum-Regulating Treatment for Oily Scalp, and Women’s Weekly Hair Awards 2016 for Best Anti-Ageing Hair Treatment.

Customised Hair Treatment for Your Scalp’s Every Need

In the hustle and bustle of life, we often neglect caring for our hair and scalp – I’m talking about abusing our scalp with hair dyes, or even damaging the fragile ends of our hair with a heated hairdryer because we simply don’t have enough time or patience to let our hair dry naturally. If you are guilty of the abovementioned, TK TrichoKare is here to take care of you by tackling the root of all your hair and scalp problems. TrichoKare makes use of a unique three-step approach: detox, strengthen and growth.

Before starting your treatment at TrichoKare, you will firstly be treated to a consultation by a professional trichologist. ‘Trichology’ is the medical term for the study of the health of hair and scalp. Naturally, a trichologist is someone who specialises in hair and scalp problems. A trichologist often takes a holistic approach to treating your hair problems by considering your lifestyle, diet and general wellbeing. Trichologists treat wide range of common hair problems, such as thinning, breakage, shedding, dry or itchy scalp. I had the privilege of having trichologist Ms Pooja Chhabra diagnose and treat my scalp. In fact, Ms Pooja told me that Trichokare houses three out of the 10 trichologists in Singapore.

Firstly, Ms Pooja administered the hair pull test, where she gently ran her fingers through my hair to check for hair fall, and if the hair fell at the right stage. Then, she went ahead with the scalp analysis. Using a special lens that could magnify up to 200 times, Ms Pooja saw that I not only have dandruff, my hair follicles were also clogged with dead skin and sebum. I have always known that I suffer from minor dandruff problems, but it was not serious enough for me to take action and get it treated professionally. In fact, I resorted to over-the-counter shampoos and haircare products. However, these haircare products often do not tackle the root of your hair and scalp problems, because they are after all, not tailor-made to suit you. Ms Pooja even alerted me that hair fall, dandruff, itching, redness and acne on your scalp are some of the first symptoms of problem scalp. She highlighted that hair and scalp problems are often signs of other more serious problems such as male and female pattern hair loss, ringworm and alopecia areata – an autoimmune disease that attacks the hair follicles.

After the diagnosis, the trichologist working with you will prescribe a unique combination of a mask and tonic, tailor-made to your scalp’s needs. At TrichoKare, there are over seven types of masks and 11 types of tonics to choose from. Unlike other haircare institutions, TrichoKare makes use of trichologically-validated European herbs instead of Chinese herbs as they not only smell better, they penetrate the scalp faster. Such herbs include burdock, rosemary and sage. In my case, Ms Pooja prescribed the combination of Dead Sea Mask and Aloe Vera Tonic to detoxify and cleanse my clogged hair follicles.

After letting the mask sit for 15 minutes, I proceeded to have my hair washed and massaged by the meticulous therapist at TrichoKare. Once again, the staff would choose between three different types of shampoos based on whether your scalp was on the dry, oily or normal side.

Then, the Aloe Vera Tonic was sprayed directly on my roots and massaged into the scalp by the dedicated therapist such that all the goodness of the tonic is absorbed into my scalp. The final step of the treatment entailed infrared light shone on my scalp to further promote nutrient absorption, blood circulation, and has antibacterial properties.

The two-hour long treatment ended with a final consultation with your trichologist. Ms Pooja then administered the scalp analysis and showed me the before and after pictures of my scalp, as seen above. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the surface of my scalp has cleared up significantly and my hair follicles were no longer clogged after just one session. There was not a trace of a single dandruff flake! Not only that, my scalp felt refreshed and my hair smelled nice for the next three days.

The year 216 has been a great year for TrichoKare, where they were awarded the ELLE Beauty Treat List 2017 for Best Treatment for Hair Loss, Her World Spa Awards 2016 for Best Treatment for Damaged Hair, Harper’s BAZAAR Hair Awards 2016 for Best Sebum-Regulating Treatment for Oily Scalp, and Women’s Weekly Hair Awards 2016 for Best Anti-Ageing Hair Treatment. Furthermore, public personalities such as Xiaxue, known for her crazily bleached and colourful hairstyles, have visited TrichoKare to have their hair problems solved, bearing testament to how effective their hair and scalp treatments are.
