BEST BESPOKE HAIR TREATMENT

Be Salon BEspoke Keratin Care 

My Reading Room

Dry and frizzy hair can be a bane to manage when you are rushing for work and want to keep the frizz at bay to look presentable for your morning meeting. Due to sun exposure, environmental aggressors, chemical hair services and ageing, there will be a gradual loss of keratin protein. This will cause hair to lose its luster and shine.

After an in-depth consultation with the hair professionals at Be Salon, a bespoke solution will be provided according to your hair concerns and desired finishing look. Leave it to the professional team to customise the treatment that best suits your facial features, head shape and even your daily lifestyle. No matter your hair type, be it straight or wavy, this best-selling treatment helps to replenish that key protein for nourished hair that is smoother, softer and shinier on the daily. Come feel the difference with just one session. At $300 (120 mins).

BEST HEATED STYLING BRUSH

Dafni Allure 

My Reading Room

Achieving a polished look can take hours, but with the latest hairstyling brush by Dafni, you can show off gorgeous hair in minutes.

For the executive who is rushing to her next big meeting or the vacationer who simply wants to look her best while on holiday, bad hair days are a thing of the past with Dafni Allure. Four times more powerful than a corded straightener, this compact, cord-free straightening brush helps to keep your strands in shipshape effortlessly without tethering you to a wire.

Unlike flat irons that can only work on small sections of hair at a time, Dafni Allure is engineered for real-life, time-saving functionality. Boasting 3D patented technology, the typical flat iron has been transformed into a heated brush, enabling you to style larger sections of hair in intuitive brush strokes.

By using springy, insulating bristles on the top of each knob, there is no risk of singeing hairs with this advanced styling tool. Maintained at a controlled optimal temperature of 185 C, your strands will be evenly reshaped and protected from excessive heat while leaving your follicles stronger.

Powered by lithium-Ion batteries and fast Qualcum-3 chargers that are found in the latest smartphones, you can count on Dafni Allure to help you get the look you want with convenience and ease wherever you go. At $329.

BEST ANTI-DANDRUFF TREATMENT

Luxescalp Scalp Peeling Gel Treatment 

My Reading Room

Persistent dandruff can be damaging to both your scalp and self-esteem, and the problem can be exacerbated with the use of unsuitable products. Products that are too drying can cause the scalp to fl ake, at the same time lead to the overproduction of sebum in a bid to re-hydrate the scalp. The specialists at Luxescalp understand this delicate balance to maintain healthy scalp – soothing any itchiness, and hydrating the scalp without over-stimulating the sebaceous glands.

Using the Luxescalp Scalp Peeling Gel, this treatment begins by gently exfoliating away surface dead skin to remove the buildup that may be clogging the hair follicles. The gentle massage in the treatment helps to stimulate microcirculation which will improve scalp health, while the proprietary formula of premium botanical ingredients like centella asiatica lead extract and calendula officinalis flower extract, hydrates and relieves itchiness for healthier hair and scalp. At $88 (90 mins).

BEST THICKENING TREATMENT FOR FINE HAIR

Organic Hair Regrowth Solutions Low Level Laser Treatment (LLLT) 

My Reading Room

Every woman understands the importance of good hair maintenance – but when you start losing those precious strands, you may need a little more help than just picking the right shampoo.

That’s where hair professionals like Organic Hair Regrowth Solutions come in to help you get to the root of the problem. Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss in both men and women. If you have been besieged by pattern hair loss, their Low Level Laser Treatment (LLLT) is just the solution you need.

Known to arrest hair loss in about 90 per cent of patients, LLLT harnesses the power of effective light therapy at a wavelength of 650 nano-metres to boost cellular activity within the hair follicles. The treatment occurs via photobiomodulation, which is the process through which follicular apoptosis (programmed cell death) is reversed via the application of laser energy.

Not only does this treatment help to stabilise existing strands, but with consistent use, it has also been found to stimulate hair regrowth as well. Best of all, LLLT can be used along with other treatments and procedures, making it an integral part of any combination therapy for medical management of hair loss.

With this revitalising treatment, keep your locks looking healthier and more vibrant so you can relish in a fuller crown with stronger strands. At $128 (for 20 - 25 mins).

BEST PERM 

Picasso Hair Studio Rebonding Perm 

My Reading Room

Whether you are a mum raising young kids or a career woman who has set her sights on world domination, the hectic demands of life leave you little time to take care of yourself, let alone spend countless hours trying to get your hair set right for each day.

For a modern hairstyle that is easy to manage, get a Rebonding Perm at Picasso Hair Studio, which will leave you looking effortlessly gorgeous no matter how busy you are. Designed to tame unruly strands that can become frizzy in humid weather, this signature perm softly rebonds the hair near your crown without compromising on the magnitude of your mane.

Meanwhile, a heavier perm is applied at the bottom section so you can maintain maximum volume. This also makes your hair much easier to blow-dry with just a twist of your finger (no styling tools required!), saving you precious time on those hurried mornings.

Their expert stylists will design a customised perm for you by considering your face shape, hair type and lifestyle. In fact, they even sketch out the hairstyle they envision for you – hence, the reason why the studio is named after the artist Picasso! At $409 (4 – 4.5 hours). 

SPECIALLY FOR YOU

Try the Rebonding Perm at a special promotion price of $409 (UP $575) with haircut by hair designer and Kerastase Treatment (additional $20/$40 for haircut by creative director/master trainer).

BEST VOLUMISING TREATMENT FOR THINNING HAIR

SW1 Clinic Revitascalp 

My Reading Room

Have you noticed that your comb is full of stray strands or there is a larger amount of loose hair littering your pillow in the mornings? While losing anywhere from 50 to 100 strands of hair per day is considered normal, what happens within our scalp can directly affect the growth (or loss) of our precious hair.

That is why taking care of our scalp regularly is so important. In the same way we invest in a good skincare regimen, our scalps also need consistent TLC to keep that crowning glory in tip-top shape and prevent unnecessary hair loss.

Understanding this, SW1 Clinic has formulated a scalp treatment called Revitascalp, a 40-minute revitalising “scalp-cial” that boosts your scalp’s health by blasting it with a plethora of strengthening nutrients such as vitamin B12 and folic acid. It also contains amino acids which help to build protein while the clinically proven minoxidil inhibits the production of the hair-hindering dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a hormone that shortens the lifespan of each hair follicle and is responsible for pattern hair loss.

With minimal downtime and discomfort, this treatment is best done weekly for those with severe hair thinning or fortnightly for milder cases. The invigorating treatment helps to reduce hair fall and increase the density and volume of your strands after six to 12 weeks*. At $200 (40 mins).

*Results may vary for individuals.

BEST MASK FOR DRY HAIR

The Body Shop Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Hair Mask 

My Reading Room

When your hair gets exposed to harsh chemical treatments like perming, colouring or even frequent blow-drying, it may become dry and frizzy. If left untreated, unruly hair can become even more prone to split ends and breakage, resulting in unhealthy-looking locks.

For an intensely nourishing treatment, The Body Shop Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Hair Mask truly lives up to its name. Replenishing lost moisture while reviving parched strands, this 100 per cent vegan formula is enriched with Community Trade shea butter and cocoa butter from Ghana as well as organic virgin coconut oil from Samo and organic olive oil from Italy.

For centuries, women in Ghana have already discovered the secret of shea butter, having used it to protect their hair from dry Saharan winds. Shea butter’s rich texture and high fat content help to retain moisture and leaves your hair feeling smoother, healthier and glossier. At $29 (240 ml).
