Hair Awards 2021: Best Treatments For Fresh And Clean Scalps
Deep cleansing treatments to keep oily scalps at bay
It’s common knowledge that a healthy scalp is essential for healthy hair. But with Singapore’s hot and humid climate, and where sweat is the norm, oily scalps are one of the most common scalp concerns that we battle with. And while an oily scalp does not cause hair loss, it can lead to irritation, itching, discomfort and inflammation, which when left untreated, can contribute to the loss of hair over time. This is why it is so important to keep scalp clean so hair stays fresh always.
Caring for your scalp is just as important as your face. This scalp care treatment, which combines a mix of ampoules, cleanser and machines, is a holistic regimen that not only deeply cleanses to reduce build-up and scalp odour, but also neutralises toxins, prevent collagen hardening that can exacerbate hair loss over time. Our scalp felt less oily and not as sensitive, and hair felt fresh and clean. But what we loved most was the salon’s signature relaxing and ache-soothing shoulder and neck massage that was administered at the start – all treatments should begin this way.

Best Scalp Fortifying Treatment - Shiseido Professional Sublimic Fuente Forte Scalp Treatment for Deep Cleanse
A multi-step treatment utilising Shiseido Professional’s unique Barrier Care Technology together with scutellaria, a natural plant extract, it reinforces the skin’s natural barrier function, strengthening the scalp and increasing its resilience against external and stressful stimuli that can throw its balance out of whack. The after-treatment scan of our scalp showed that it was significantly less oily and the hair follicles unclogged. Even the little dandruff that we had was gone.

With the use of horse chestnut and infrared technology, the treatment improves the micro-circulation at the scalp, controlling the amount of sebum produced and protecting the scalp against external aggressors at the same time. Our scalp looked healthier and cleaner, and still remained in good condition – no itching at all, three days after without a wash.

But we loved how the treatment incorporated several relaxing massages throughout, making this a pampering treat.
