I have been colouring my hair since I broke away from school rules after Junior College. At the back of my mind, I do know that chemical processes can damage my hair and scalp, but the very young me chose to ignore that little voice for a long time.
Things got a little more adventurous and bleaching and putting rainbow colours on my hair became a routine recently. From blonde to grey to pink, changing hair colours monthly was my joy.
However, Svenson’s trichologist, Joni, raised an alarm when I visited them to check my hair and scalp health.
It wasn’t difficult to tell that my hair was dry and brittle. But what Joni brought to my attention was the condition of my scalp. Hair follicles on my scalp were clogged and that prevented hair from growing. The clogged follicles can cause scalp irritation and may even lead to hair loss.
I was wondering why my hair follicles were clogged since I wash my hair everyday. Joni told me that the sebum glands were the main culprits and off-the-shelf shampoos may not be the solution to clear up the sebum clogs. The strong conditioners and hair treatments that I use for my dry hair may also aggravate the situation and clog the hair follicles if they are too oily. That really left me in a spot — Do I take care of my dry hair or my clogged scalp?
Joni was patient with my endless questions and she recommended two treatments for me that will benefit my scalp health — Vita Energy Hair Gro and Oxy DH Therapy.
Stay tuned for the reviews of the two treatments. Do approach Svenson’s Hair Centre for a consultation so that they can give you professional advice to deal with your hair problems. The earlier you seek treatment, the better it is!
