I’ve been losing hair in the last few years, but in recent months, my hair fall wasn’t “a few strands” anymore.
It was consistent shedding, brittle ends, and a scalp that felt dry and tight. I tried to blame the sun, my diet, even the shampoo I grabbed on sale, but nothing changed.
The pattern was clear and it was starting to affect my confidence every morning and after every wash.
At that point, guessing wasn’t helping.
I needed a professional scalp assessment to understand what was actually driving the shedding, and resolve my stress. That’s why I booked a consultation at TK TrichoKare to help narrow in on my concerns and break down the details for me.
Here’s what I did next.
How It Started
TK TrichoKare has five outlets, and I picked the Ngee Ann City branch because it’s closest to my workplace.
When I arrived, the consultants and therapists greeted me warmly at the counter. Lynn, my consultant, brought me to a private room where a short questionnaire awaited, which included my profile, age, health conditions and dietary consumption, current hair/scalp concerns and my daily hair-care routine.
It was quick and straightforward, nothing to stress over, and it helps them tailor the treatment for me.
Pre-Treatment Analysis and Scalp Diagnosis Using Advanced Technology
After completing the questionnaire, Lynn reviewed the responses to gain a clearer picture of the scalp and hair situation. She then introduced the Tricho-Scan tool, which had been sitting inconspicuously nearby throughout the consultation.
Using a digital microscope camera with up to 200× magnification, Lynn examined my scalp in detail. I suspected it was dandruff at first, but the Tricho-Scan told a different story.
The scan showed a dry scalp with white flakes, not true dandruff. Lynn then glided the probe across different sections, pulling up magnified images and pointing out the issues in real time so I could see exactly what was going on.
Yes, I have a very dry scalp, and full of flakes surrounding almost every hair follicle.
Lynn explained the distinction between dandruff and dry scalp, detailing how dry scalp can lead to hair loss when left unattended.
Also, sebaceous glands in your scalp produce sebum, the natural oil that moisturizes both your hair and scalp.
In addition, clogged hair follicles, due to product buildup, dead skin cells, excess oil, or pollution, can disrupt the normal flow of sebum.
This disruption can lead to very dry scalp if the sebum can’t reach the surface properly, itchiness or flaking and even thinning hair and receding hairline!
I felt more assured to leave my hair and scalp to these experts, with the information shared by Lynn and being able to know the exact dire condition my scalp is facing right now.
Customised European Herbal Scalp Treatment and Hair Restoration Process
Following the diagnosis, Lynn guided the way to the treatment area where hair and scalp specialist Yvonne took over. I was snuggled up on the treatment chair, and offered refreshments like hot rose tea and light refreshments of my choice.
She then prepared a Premium European Herbal Scalp Masque, customised to target hair-loss concerns and soothe a dry, stressed scalp.
At TrichoKare, each masque is blended to suit the individual, whether you’re dealing with dandruff, itchiness, sensitivity, or excess oil, so it isn’t a one-size-fits-all but a well-customised masque to resolve your issues.
Using a fine brush, Yvonne smoothed the cooling masque over every section of the scalp, part by part, making sure no area was missed. She then followed with a gentle massage to work the formula in and boost absorption, while also easing tension and improving circulation for a more comfortable, refreshed feel.
This particular masque was infused with Tea Tree and Magnolia, ingredients known to help support healthy hair growth, repair stressed strands, and fend off dullness, while easing dryness and itchiness.
The cooling sensation was, honestly, super shiok on the scalp.
Yvonne let the masque sit for about 15 minutes whilst at the same time, methodically doing an aromatherapy massage on my head, the main point being to increase the absorption of the power packed European herbs onto my scalp, before rinsing it off thoroughly.
Next came the cleanse; she used TrichoKare’s best-selling Nourishing Hair Bath shampoo, formulated with Almond Oil and Wasabia Japonica Root Ferment extract to strengthen hair and help shield the scalp from everyday environmental stressors.
The lather felt soft and comforting, leaving my scalp refreshed and my hair clean without that stripped, squeaky feel.
Yvonne worked the shampoo into my scalp with slow, rhythmic circles. It was so relaxing I had to actively fight sleep or risk the phone landing on my face.
She followed with the CompleteKare Mask, smoothing it through the mid-lengths and ends to moisturise and repair the drier, more fragile sections.
Back at the treatment area, she set a warm green heating pad over my shoulders and added a short shoulder massage before moving on to the next phase.
Using a NanoMist Spray, Yvonne applied a Customised Treatment Essence directly to the scalp. The ultra-fine mist helps the formula spread evenly and absorb better.
The essence features Saw Palmetto and Nettle to smooth and strengthen hair so it feels thicker and healthier. They are mixed in with a blend of European botanicals that nourish the scalp and encourage healthy growth (so you can still aim for fuller and healthier-looking hair well into your 50s).
Section by section, generous amount of herbal goodness was misted onto my scalp, then gently massaging the essence in, covering my entire scalp with calm, methodical precision.
The NanoMist Spray released an ultra-fine cloud that slipped between the strands and carried the treatment essence down to the follicles, maximising its effect. Yvonne followed with another soothing scalp massage to encourage absorption and boost circulation, then gave the hair a quick blow-dry to prep for the finale.
The last step was PhotoDynamic Therapy, using a sleek, futuristic machine that looked like it came straight out of a sci-fi set.
It bathed the scalp in gentle, targeted light to energise the follicles, calm the scalp, and seal in all the goodness from the earlier steps.
The device uses gentle infrared light therapy to help rebalance the scalp’s pH, flush out impurities, and support overall scalp and hair health.
You see, in 15 minutes, it stimulates and activates blood flow, supplying nutrients and oxygen to follicles, reducing hair fall, and even targets hereditary or traction alopecia.
I sat under the PhotoDynamic Therapy hood for about ten minutes, bathed in that soft glow, and honestly, it felt like a quick trip to the future. For those ten minutes, I wasn’t in 2025; I was living in 2050.
Post-Treatment Results and Promotional Offer
Back in the consultation room, Lynn ushered me in for the Post-Treatment Scalp Scan Analysis, and it was time for the moment of truth.
Using the Tricho-Scan again, she zoomed in on different sections of my scalp and pulled the images up side by side for a clear comparison.
Before the treatment, the scan showed flaky patches, visible buildup and signs of irritation. The after? My scalp looking like a complete clean slate, without flakes, residue and redness.
Lynn walked me through each frame and highlighted what had improved, making the results easy to follow (and honestly, quite satisfying).
Hard to visualise? Here are the images:
The difference was explicit!
Running my fingers through my hair, I could feel the difference straight away: the ends were smoother, softer, and noticeably more revived, like someone had breathed new life into them.
That dry, hay-like texture that used to make morning detangling a nightmare? Gone.
I was low-key feeling like a next-level shampoo model!
