Good skincare doesn’t stop at cleansing. It requires appropriate therapies and products, and the same goes for scalp care. Normally, our body’s natural way of maintaining scalp health is to produce sebum, which acts as a protective moisturising coating. Just like on our faces, however, trouble starts when too little or too much sebum is produced and the scalp goes out of whack, becoming overly dry or oily.

Such an imbalance has many possible causes, from hereditary factors and hormonal changes to stress or using the wrong products. However, you shouldn’t wait until problems show before taking action – the best time to start looking after your scalp is when you are not facing any issues like hair loss, thinning hair, dandruff or sensitivity yet. That’s how you can help to maintain the overall health of your scalp.

A simple way to go about it is to massage your scalp while shampooing. This improves blood circulation around the hair bulbs, thereby boosting the conditions for normal hair growth. But for more intensive professional care, deep-cleanse your scalp once a month with H’air Trichology by Leonica K’s personalised Scalp Detox Treatment.

Intended for all scalp conditions, this 90min treatment begins with applying a charcoalbased cleansing mask to remove impurities and odour. It is left on for 20min with a steamer to activate the ingredients and open up hair follicles. A scalp massage follows, to remove dead skin cells and help you relax. An infrared lamp is then used to improve blood circulation. In the last step, hair and scalp are double-cleansed before a suitable scalp tonic is massaged in.

To complement the treatment and extend scalp care to your daily beauty routine, try the brand’s Anti-hair Loss Scalp Tonic ($180). Formulated in Britain and made in Singapore, it is meant to provide both preventive and corrective care, so you can start using it from your 20s, even if you have a sensitive scalp or eczema. Apply it to a clean scalp once or twice a day – preferably at night, when the scalp is in repair mode. You may feel a tingling sensation for 5-10min.

The tonic can be customised to the needs of your scalp, so get a detailed analysis done with brand founder Leonica Kei first.
