There’s a surefire way to know when you’re in your 30s. It’s when you look down at your floor, your shower drain, your pillow, your chair and see the hair fall everywhere. Sadly, this is literally the start of a stress-filled journey of trying ways to circumvent the hairfall and salvage what is left of my hair.
For the longest time, I thought that such hair loss would only appear with old age, like a time bomb waiting to happen…and certainly not to someone only in her 30s – I was in two minds about it and constantly wondering if it is way too early to encounter this at my age. Because of this resolute refusal to accept the harsh reality, I embarked on trying out various haircare routines and spent a lot of time and money on countless over-the-counter haircare products to tackle the issue.
It literally wasn’t until I tried TK TrichoKare’s Scalp Purifying Therapy, which has positive Google reviews of their professional service and attitude of their staff and the hair and scalp care treatments provided,that I discovered I’d been misdiagnosing my own hair and scalp this whole time. I was treating the issue with the wrong method, which explains why nothing worked. Until THIS treatment unravelled the real cause of my hair loss.

So, how did I begin my journey to healthier, fuller hair?
Pre-Treatment Scalp and Hair Analysis
After work, I decided to head to the TK TrichoKare outlet at Velocity@Novena Square for my Scalp Purifying Therapy Treatment.
My experience started with a pre-treatment scalp analysis to diagnose the root causes (pun not intended) of my hair fall issues.
Using their TrichoScan device for a 200× magnified view of my scalp, my consultant showed me all the scalp issues I didn’t even know existed.
Just look at this:
Yup. That’s my scalp — dehydrated, inflamed, and even flaking. My hair follicles were clogged, which was blocking new hair from growing properly, and my hair anchorage was weak, so strands were falling out much more easily than they should.
What surprised me most was finding out that my scalp wasn’t actually “oily” the way I had assumed. Because my hair also looked greasy, I’d been focused on using haircare products meant to control oil. But in reality, my scalp was dehydrated, irritated and overproducing oil to compensate for the dryness. All the haircare products I’d been using were stripping my scalp even more, making the dehydration and inflammation worse.
All I was doing was also affecting my hair anchorage. When the scalp is inflamed, clogged with buildup, or lacking proper hydration, the follicles can’t maintain a healthy grip. The root becomes weaker, which means hair sheds more easily, even during normal washing or brushing.
So instead of fixing the problem, I had actually been feeding into the unhealthy cycle this whole time, treating “oiliness” when the real issue was a dehydrated, congested scalp that needed proper cleansing and rebalancing. Once the consultant explained in detail to me, the building blocks finally started falling into place – everything makes more sense now. I thought it was a lost cause. But the TrichoKare consultant was up for the challenge and customised a detailed treatment plan, customised for my specific hair and scalp concerns.
Customised European Herbal Scalp Masque
The first step to restoring my scalp was the application of a European Herbal Scalp Masque,which was thoroughly worked through my entire scalp and roots. Formulated with several types of premium European herbs, including Tea Tree, known to detox scalp buildup, soothe itchiness, and regulate excess oil (which is my issue!). It also contains Magnolia, which helps to calm scalp irritation while adding softness and shine to the hair.
The masque was then gently massaged into my scalp to help the nutrients absorb more effectively. I could feel the nourishing effects almost immediately. My scalp was practically drinking it in after being so dehydrated. Shiok!
Honestly, I did not expect to feel a difference so fast, but my scalp felt less tight almost immediately!
We then let the cooling masque work its magic for twenty minutes.
Hair Bath
As much as I didn’t want to say goodbye to the masque, it was time to wash it away.
Using the TrichoKare Nourishing Hair Bath, my hair and scalp was thoroughly cleansed with this shampoo that’s both gentle on my scalp skin and my hair strands. The therapist did an invigorating massage on my head, letting its nutrients also seep in well, before meticulously washing it away. The consultant recommended a double shampoo to get a thorough cleanse in preparation for the next step. .
By this point I was half asleep…the kind of relaxed where you forget you came in all stressed out about your scalp.
Next, the CompleteKare Mask conditioner was applied to my hair to breathe some life into those dry ends. Finally, my hair felt less like a broomstick.
NanoMist Spray
Heading back to the treatment area, I was given a shoulder heating pad which helps to wear down the stress and tension from my shoulders with its soothing heat radiation. It was then that it struck me, it is also the little things that they pay attention to, which makes perfect sense to cultivate a good experience for the customers – they really make sure you’re in good hands at TrichoKare, as I have seen on their Google reviews. So far so good!
Then, a customised Treatment Essence was applied using the NanoMist Spray, which is made with European herbal ingredients like Saw Palmetto, Calendula, and Nettle.
This formula harnesses a potent blend of European botanicals, where Calendula works to calm an irritated scalp, Saw Palmetto acts to strengthen the hair fibres, and Nettle provides the essential nutrients needed to keep your hair properly hydrated.
The NanoMist turns the essence into super fine particles, so it can reach the scalp pores more easily and for better absorption, allowing the nutrients to nourish the scalp more evenly.
I was then treated to yet another scalp massage, whereby Tricho-Argan Oil is applied on my ends as well , and eventually, it ended with a blow-dry of my hair.
I am almost at the end of the treatment, but I have been so well taken care of every step of the way, with the utmost attention paid to making sure every step of the treatment works its magic on my hair and scalp issues…. I found myself hoping it wouldn’t end!
Hair Bang
Now, it’s time for Light Therapy using the trendy looking headphones-esque gadget you see here:
It uses light technology to boost scalp circulation, rebalance pH levels, and calm inflammation at the root. This creates the ideal environment for healthier hair growth. You can see the light therapy in action here:
Post-Treatment Scalp Scan Analysis
Now that the treatment was over, it’s time to see the results.
With the Tricho-Scan device, we once again peered into my scalp at 200-times magnification. Honestly I wasn’t expecting to see and feel the improvements so clearly, after just one session.
But look at the before and after: it’s the same scalp on the same day!
This is the before:
And this is the after:
If TrichoKare could really make me see the improvements (as I see and feel so vividly now on my scalp!), I genuinely believe they can help just about anyone struggling with similar hair and scalp issues.
The turning point for me wasn’t just the treatment itself, but finally understanding what my scalp actually needed and for the correct measures to be taken. TrichoKare’s Scalp Purifying Therapy deeply cleansed all the buildup I didn’t even realise was there, calmed the constant irritation, and rebalanced my scalp so it wasn’t overproducing oil anymore. My scalp felt noticeably fresher, and properly hydrated after, like it could finally start to “breathe” again. I am now really looking forward to healthier hair growth.
