    How to Choose the Right Hair Care Products for Your Scalp Condition

    With an endless array of hair care products available in the market, it’s easy to end up with the wrong ones. Using the wrong hair products can cause anything from dryness, brittleness to greasiness, and may end up damaging your scalp in the long run.

    How can you pick the best products for your hair, then? Turns out, it all starts with the basic step of knowing what type of scalp you have. An oily scalp usually appears shinier and may sometimes be accompanied by dandruff. On the other hand, a scalp that feels tight after washing or is itchy, points to a dry scalp.

    You may also want to run a simple test to better assess your scalp type. First, before heading to bed, wash and air dry your hair, and don’t apply any additional hair products. When you wake the next morning, take a piece of tissue and press it gently against the crown of your head. If there is oil residue on the tissue, you have an oily scalp; if the tissue is dry and clean, you have a dry scalp.

    Now that you have identified your scalp type, here comes the tricky part of deciding which hair products to choose. As a general rule of thumb, for oily scalp and hair types, look for volumising, strengthening and balancing products; if you have a dryer scalp, go for something more moisturising.

    Oily Scalp

    Oily hair often looks greasy and flat, and an oily scalp is the most likely culprit.

    To control excess oil and sebum production, look for product labels that mention volumising, balancing or strengthening. The award-winning ADV Purify Shampoo by PHS HAIRSCIENCE is a powerful sebum and dirt remover that deep-cleanses the scalp to unclog hair follicles, and now comes with an upgraded formula featuring clinically-proven botanicals and actives. This calming formula also soothes itching and irritation that result from dandruff. We also recommend ADV Purify Tonic for rebalancing of the scalp’s sebum production.

    While we can’t manipulate the sebaceous glands, there are hacks and tricks that can help better manage sebum production. A double cleanse means washing your hair with two separate shampoos to address different scalp needs—pair Purify with ADV Nutrition Shampoo for a thorough, non-invasive double cleanse. Also, do spend extra time working both shampoo into your scalp to break up excess sebum, and rinse your scalp thoroughly.

     

    Dry Scalp

    Dry hair can be influenced by various factors, including over-use of hot tools like flat irons, blow dryers, low quality shampoo and/or hair colouring.

    Keep a lookout for products labelled as smoothing, hydrating, and moisturising, as these products will help promote moisture retention for a dry scalp. ADV Soothe Shampoo by PHS HAIRSCIENCE helps to strengthen the scalp skin’s natural moisture barrier, maintain optimal hydration levels and also anti-inflammatory protection to guard against itching and scalp irritation.

    A deep treatment moisturising mask can also do wonders for dry scalp. Nourish your scalp skin with the super luxe ADV Soothe Moisture Scalp Mask for a pampering, restorative scalp treatment.

     

    Hair Loss

    There are different types and causes of hair loss, with factors ranging from stress, genetics, dietary deficiencies, post-pregnancy hormonal changes to medications.

    Regular use of stimulating serums and tonics, together with shampoos for thinning hair, can help address these concerns. Our FEM Fortify Shampoo is specially formulated for women with mild hair loss and hair thinning concerns, and for those who want to prevent premature hair loss.

    Do the double cleanse or follow up with FEM Fortify Conditioner for an even longer-lasting hydration. Lastly, end off the regimen with FEM Fortify Tonic which helps nourishes and rebalances the scalp with vital nutrients.

    The ADV Purify, FEM Fortify, ADV Soothe and ADV Nutrition range of scalp care products are available on PHS HAIRSCIENCE website and official stores on Shopee, Lazada and Zalora. Achieve a healthy scalp and gorgeous tresses with our signature daily haircare regimen today.
