Do you wake up to find your pillow covered in hair?
Now, don’t panic yet; I know how you feel, because I used to panic, too, wondering if one day, I’d wake up with a bald patch.
After starting on my very first scalp treatment a few months ago, this problem is history: you’d not only have fewer hairs on your pillow (yes, counting hair strands on a pillow is a thing), you’d feel more confident, knowing that you’re likely not going to go bald soon.
Yes, I’m talking about TK TrichoKare’s Scalp Purifying Therapy.
If that is news to you, read on, because you’re in for something exciting.
What can you expect?
TrichoKare at Orchard Road
For this latest session, I decided to head down to the TrichoKare outlet located on level five of Ngee Ann City.
When I arrived, I was greeted by several friendly consultants and therapists at the counter. One of the consultants, Lynn, guided me to a room where I filled in a questionnaire about my health and diet, hair and scalp condition, as well as my hair care routine.
Don’t worry, the questions contained in the questionnaire are rather straightforward—you won’t have to lose more hair while stressing about how to answer them (ha!).
Pre-Treatment Scalp and Hair Analysis
Once I had completed the questionnaire, Lynn returned and combed through my responses (pun not intended) to get a better understanding of my scalp and hair condition.
Moments later, she began the scan with the help of a Tricho-Scan tool — an unsuspecting tool which had been sitting in front of me the whole time. The tool is used to examine your scalp condition using a digital microscope camera with up to 200 times magnification.
Earlier, I told Lynn that I suspected that I had started developing dandruff. Yet, the Tricho-Scan tool proved me wrong — what showed up on the scanning tool wasn’t dandruff, but dry pieces of my scalp.
Lynn then proceeded to show me the wonders of the Tricho-Scan tool. She picked it up and moved the scanning tool along my scalp, talking me through the issues with my hair that she spotted using the tool.
Earlier, I told Lynn that I suspected that I had dandruff. Yet, the Tricho-Scan tool proved me wrong — what showed up on the scanning tool wasn’t dandruff, but dry pieces of my scalp.
Lynn clarified the difference between dandruff and a dry scalp, and explained how my dry scalp led to hair loss. She said my shampoo could be the cause, as it might contain sulfates and parabens. Sulfates strip natural oils, while parabens can disrupt scalp balance. Fragrances and alcohol might also worsen dryness.
Ah… I knew I couldn’t trust those TikTok live streamers. Better to consult the professionals.
Customised European Herbal Scalp Masque
After Lynn diagnosed my scalp and hair conditions, it was time to get to work saving it.
Lynn guided me over to the treatment area and sat me down. She handed me over to her colleague, hair specialist Yvonne, who will be taking care of my scalp treatment.
After I sat down at the treatment area, the familiar anticipation of the commencing treatment started. —the seat was so comfortable, I could foresee myself unintentionally dozing off during the treatment (again). So when Yvonne asked me if I’d like some tea or water, I obviously chose the caffeinated option.
As I sipped on my hot cup of rose tea, Yvonne got down to work and prepared a Premium European Herbal Scalp Masque. The masque was customised to target my main hair issues which Lynn had identified earlier—hair loss and a dry scalp.
Yes, you read that right. This masque will be customised just for you. Even if you have other types of scalp and hair issues such as dandruff or an itchy, sensitive or oily scalp, TrichoKare has a fix for you.
Yvonne then used a brush to apply the cooling masque onto every inch of my scalp.
And to make sure I could really reap all the nutritious benefits of the hair masque, she gently massaged it into my scalp. The massage was meant to fully enhance the absorption of the masque to my scalp.
How is it prepped full of nutrients? You may ask.
This particular masque actually consists of Tea Tree and Magnolia, which helps to promote healthy hair growth and repair damaged hair, prevent dullness on hair strands, as well as curb dryness and itchiness on scalp.
The cooling sensation of the masque on my head was incredibly shiok, and fortunately, I could enjoy it for a little while longer. The hair masque was left to sit on my scalp for approximately 15 minutes, so that it could work its magic. The whole experience in itself was wonderful on my scalp and hair – I can’t wait for the results to show!
Hair Bath
Hair washing started with a thorough rinse of my scalp and hair using TrichoKare’s best-selling shampoo, the Nourishing Hair Bath.The shampoo contains ingredients like Almond oil and Wasabia Japonica Root Ferment extract, which strengthens your hair and shields your scalp from environmental stressors.
It also smelled amazing. If you got a whiff of it, you would wish it was made into a reed diffuser of some sort so that you could fill your home with the same scent.
Yvonne then massaged the shampoo into my scalp. It was so relaxing that I almost dozed off, but I had to fight to stay awake so that I wouldn’t drop my phone on my face.
Next, it was time to apply some conditioner. Yvonne applied the CompleteKare Mask conditioner on the ends of my hair, which would help to moisturise and repair my dry and damaged hair.
Treatment Essence Applied With NanoMist Spray
After I sat back down at the treatment area, Yvonne placed a green heating pad on my shoulders and gave me yet another shoulder massage.
Next, Yvonne used a NanoMist Spray to apply a Customised Treatment Essence onto my scalp.
The essence contained ingredients such as Saw Palmetto and Nettle, which helps to smoothen and strengthen our hair for thicker, healthier hair growth. In other words, there are all sorts of amazing natural european herbal ingredients in the essence which nourish the hair, promote growth, and enhance scalp health
That helps to make sure you’ll still have a full head of hair even when you’re 50.
Yvonne then patiently made her way through my scalp using the NanoMist Spray, spraying the essence and massaging it into my scalp along the way.
I was told that the NanoMist Spray helps in delivering the treatment essence through my hair follicles, maximising the effect of the treatment essence that was applied. If I do that portion of the treatment sufficient times, who knows? I just might become Rapunzel.
And as if the NanoMist spray wasn’t already good enough, Yvonne then gave me another scalp massage to help my hair follicles absorb all that goodness.
Afterwards, she blow-dried my hair once more.
And next, we’re onto the final stages of the treatment.
PhotoDynamic Therapy
As if the Tricho-Scan tool and the NanoMist Spray machine weren’t impressive enough, TrichoKare still had one more space-looking gadget left which would help save my scalp and hair.
Here’s what it looks like:
Crazy, right? It looks as if you were in a sci-fi movie.
This final gadget was none other than the photodynamic therapy machine. It uses infra-red light technology to maintain your scalp’s pH balance, detoxify your scalp, and promote overall hair and scalp health.
I sat under the PhotoDynamic Therapy machine for approximately ten minutes before it ended.
Goodbye, cool machine.
Post-Treatment Scalp Scan Analysis
I was guided back into the consultation room for the Post-Treatment Scalp Scan Analysis with Lynn.
Lynn picked up the Tricho-Scan tool and scanned my scalp again.
The “before” scan shows a flaky scalp with visible buildup and irritation, while the “after” scan reveals a clean, healthy scalp with no visible flakes or residue.
As I ran my fingers through my hair, I also realised that the ends of my hair felt significantly smoother, softer, and revitalized, like it’s been given a new life. No more of that dry, hay-like texture which made it impossible to detangle my hair in the mornings.
