I Tried Trichokare’s Award-Winning Treatment To See If It Would Work Wonders For My Oily Scalp

Can deep cleansing my oily scalp prevent issues like hair loss?

January 20, 2021

Just For You !

As someone who’s had the unfortunate luck of having oily skin, and in turn, an oily scalp, living in Singapore has been no joke. While an oily skin condition does have its benefits — such as a thicker skin dermis and fewer wrinkles — the year-round humidity and heat that comes with living in a tropical climate does make it hard to enjoy them.

When one has an oily scalp, what happens is that the sebaceous glands start to produce excess oil. While sebum does help to protect our skin and scalp from outside damage and strengthen the barrier of our skin, too much of it can be damaging.

Oily scalps are one of the most common hair concerns, especially in South-east Asian countries. This is because an excessively oily scalp can cause the sebum glands to clog the pores in our scalp, causing issues such as irritation, itchiness, dandruff, and the worst of the lot — permanent hair loss.

Hair loss is rampant in humid countries like Singapore due to our constant movement between the outside heat and air-conditioned buildings. This causes the oil and sebum building up to dry and harden, making it tough to remove with generic hair care products, even if you wash your hair every day.

While stress, diet, sleep patterns and hormonal changes can all contribute to the health of your hair, it’s still important to get your scalp deep cleansed and detoxed every now and then. Which is why when I was offered to try out TK Trichokare’s award-winning Hair & Scalp Treatment, I leapt at the chance.

Here’s how it went:

The Hair And Scalp Analysis

Before my treatment, I sat down with one of TK TrichoKare’s hair and scalp specialist to assess the condition of my scalp and examine the issues I had on hand. The specialist pointed out the smattering of angry, red bumps I had on my scalp, explaining that they were actually inflamed hair follicles that had been blocked.

My pores had been so filled with sebum that they had dried and hardened over, making it difficult for any new hairs to push through. She explained that in the long run if my pores weren’t regularly cleansed, baby hairs wouldn’t be able to grow and the hair follicle would end up dying for good.

She also mentioned that while my hair fall was at a normal rate, I was not producing enough new hair to combat that as the clogged pores were making it hard for any nutrients to be absorbed by my scalp.

With that, she recommended I get a customised treatment alongside a dosing of Hair Loss Ampoules.

Deep Cleansing The Scalp

The first step of the treatment is the Oxypeel. This treatment contains naturally derived ingredients such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and sodium hyaluronate to help your scalp with exfoliation, hydration and the retention of moisture and nutrients. This will remove the hardened buildup of dead skin cells, creating a conducive environment for any nutrients to be absorbed.

The treatment is sprayed directly onto my scalp and feels really cooling and doesn’t sting at all. The treatment is then left on for about 10 minutes for the peel to work its way through the sebum and break it down.

Application of Customised Premium European Herbal Scalp Masque

Next, a customised premium European herbal scalp masque is applied. This is done to soothe the scalp as during my analysis my consultant noticed inflammation and pimples on my scalp. After that, I was ushered to the wash area for the Revitalizing Hair Bath, where Trichokare’s in-house formulated shampoo and conditioners are used to rinse my hair.  I was also treated to a relaxing head massage which was definitely one of the highlights for me.

Infusing The Scalp With Nutrients

Now that the scalp is properly cleansed, it’s time to infuse it with a solution that will help give my scalp the boost of hydration and nutrients it sorely needs. But applying the solution directly to the scalp isn’t enough for your roots to absorb everything hence the OxyJet was used to help let the nutrients penetrate deeper into the scalp. A hair loss ampoule was also added to reduce hair fall and strengthen my hair follicles.

Infrared Light Therapy To Boost Blood Circulation

Once all the proper nutrients had been administered into my hair, the consultant blew dry my hair and had me sitting underneath an infra-red machine that uses laser light technology to stimulate blood circulation, eliminate any bacteria on the scalp, and speed up the healing process.

The Results

While I stepped off my chair, admiring my hair and looking and feeling like a million bucks, what were the actual results beyond the naked eye? I’m brought back to the consultation room for a post-treatment analysis for another scan and I was pleasantly surprised by the results! Not only was my scalp a lot cleaner, my pores were less congested save for a few spots that probably needed a couple more sessions to be thoroughly cleaned. Some of the redness had subsided and whatever irritation I was feeling beforehand was gone as well.
