When it comes to skin ageing, there’s already plenty that has been said out there. Heck, most of the skincare products that exist out there are dedicated to turning back the clock on skin, to some extent or other.
Hair ageing, however… that’s not something most of us have thought about much, if at all. I was forced to confront it recently, when I discovered my hair age during a session at trichology authority TK TrichoKare.
I was there to try out their new anti-ageing hair treatment, the Advanced Age Defying Hair Treatment, which is designed to combat these signs of ageing hair: thinning hair, grey hair, dryness, brittleness and lacklustre hair, using the key ingredients of Emu Oil and Ginkgo Biloba extracts (TrichoKare bases its customised treatments on European herbal hair remedies).
What TrichoKare has achieved for its clients so far.
During my consultation with the Trichologist prior to the treatment, I took the Advanced Tricho Hair Test and it was revealed that my hair age is… 34 (I’m 26!!!). 😱😱😱
That means my hair is a horrifying 8 years older than my actual age – almost an entire decade. The Advanced Age Defying Hair Treatment came at the right time, then. It features the latest Oxyjet technology, a needleless jet infusion of pure oxygen and nutrients that are “shot” into the deep layers of the scalp. The treatment is all about providing overall anti-ageing care to the hair and scalp using key ingredients such as:
Emu Oil
- Reactivate dormant hair follicles (up to 80% of them)
- Boost the thickness of each hair strand
Ginkgo Biloba extracts
- Boost collagen and melanin production to prevent grey hair
- Counteract signs of scalp ageing
Basically, the treatment provides these 6 benefits for your crowning glory:
So here’s how it went, when I gave the TrichoKare Advanced Age Defying Hair Treatment a try:
While I’m not seeing any hair greying or thinning yet, my tresses are definitely quite distressed: brittle and lacklustre, caused by multiple rounds of chemical treatments. The scalp scan before the treatment revealed I have a greasy scalp and my follicles were clogged with excess sebum, which impedes hair growth. Not characteristics that obviously imply ageing hair, but if left untreated, definitely could lead to visible signs of ageing hair, like hair loss and hair greying.
The customised scalp purification mask was applied to my scalp, and it did a deep cleansing by removing impurities and excess sebum, while better regulating sebum production. The customised tonic applied afterwards helps to strengthen the cohesion of keratin fibres to improve the hair density; this was followed by the infrared light therapy, which improves blood circulation in the scalp, in turn increasing oxygen flow to the hair follicles. It also helps to open up the pores and clean up the hair roots, preventing follicles from becoming dormant.
Post-treatment, the Trichologist did another scalp scan, and the difference was evident: most of my hair follicles were cleaned out, and my scalp felt so much cleaner – definitely well-detoxified. My scalp is usually greasy and itchy towards the end of the day, with dry flakes – especially evident when I’m wearing a dark-coloured top. It’s really not pleasant, and having this treatment done and getting to spend the day with a squeaky-clean scalp was so refreshing.
