January is over, and if you’ve gotten started on your fitness and beauty resolutions for the new year, here’s one more to consider – kickstarting your journey to healthier hair and scalp. It’s an oft-overlooked part of our body, but did you know that scalp health is the key to beautiful hair?
Enter TK TrichoKare, a leading trichological centre in Singapore that was established in 2004. What truly sets TK TrichoKare apart is their holistic, science-backed approach to hair and scalp health using premium European herbal hair solutions that are validated by trichologists.
Get a taste of their award-winning Scalp Purifying Therapy experience, now at the promo price of $48 nett. We went to try it out, and here’s what you can expect during this in-depth customised treatment.
On your first visit, a TK TrichoKare consultant will conduct a one-to-one consultation with you about your hair and scalp concerns and problem areas. Based on the analysis, they’ll come up with a customised treatment plan, tailored to your scalp’s needs and aligned to the results you’d like to achieve through the treatment.
My initial scalp scan showed flaky skin and red patches of inflammation.

Part of the consultation includes a scalp scan analysis using their Tricho-Scan magnifier, which blows up scans of your scalp a whopping 200 times in real time. There’s no hiding here – every flaky piece of dry, scaly skin, weakened follicle, and malnourished root is on full HD display.
For example, my consultant felt that my scalp was clearly showing dry patches and inflammation, which may progress to hair loss. She then advised that a herbal scalp masque followed by a customised treatment essence would be the best course of treatment for my scalp.
The next step in the treatment is a Customised European Herbal Scalp Masque, infused with tea tree and magnolia herbal extracts, which helps to eliminate excess sebum and unclog pores on the scalp for healthier hair. This, plainly speaking, means an immediately squeaky clean and rejuvenated scalp.
FYI, this European Herbal Scalp Masque is formulated by certified trichologists, packed with essential minerals and vitamins that stimulate blood circulation, therefore accelerating scalp metabolism for improved cell growth and increasing vitality for your hair follicles.
It’s extra nourishing and detoxifying, and the best part is the head massage that you’ll get along with the Herbal Scalp Masque. Not only does the massage help you fully relax into your treatment, it also aids in the absorption of the masque into your scalp.
The good stuff isn’t over just yet. Your next step is a hair wash with TrichoKare’s bestselling Nourishing Hair Bath shampoo that’s made with almond oil and Wasabia Japonica Root Ferment Extract – a bio-fermented, antioxidant-rich cosmetic ingredient derived from wasabi roots, much loved for its potent anti-aging, antimicrobial, and soothing properties.
If you recall the treatment essence mentioned earlier, here’s when it comes into play. To ensure the essence fully penetrates into your skin, it’s precisely delivered via TrichoKare’s NanoMist Spray, which transforms the essence into nano particles that get in real deep into the pores of your scalp.
Alongside the saw palmetto and nettle that smooth and strengthen hair, as well as calendula and tea tree which boost hydration and encourage hair growth, the NanoMist Spray leverages oxygen technology to revitalise your scalp.
Let your hair specialist know what kind of a blow-out you want for your hair, and they’ll make it happen so you can walk out of TrichoKare feeling like a million bucks. Then comes the final step in your treatment, a Hair Bang treatment capitalising on Low Light Therapy that’ll maintain your scalp’s pH balance, detoxify, and promote overall hair and scalp health.
Moreover, it helps to regulate blood circulation and heal any inflammation on your scalp.
Finally, you’re shown into the consultation room again for a Post-Treatment Scalp Analysis that’ll show you how effective the treatment has been for you through a comparison of before and after scans.

You can simply take our word for it, but the scans are proof – my scalp was clear of dry flaky skin, and the telltale redness of inflammation. More than that, I could feel how clean and hydrated my scalp was, without any tightness or greasiness, just like your face would feel after a great facial. To think that this was after only 1 session; imagine how much your scalp would thank you if you did this weekly.
After your treatment, you will receive a free hair care kit, comprising a Nourishing Hair Bath shampoo and CompleteKare Mask conditioner worth $45.
You may not be able to replicate the shiok-ness you got after the full treatment at TrichoKare at home, but at least your hair and scalp will thank you for the extra dose of nourishment this duo will provide.
We’re tooting no horn when we say that there are visible results in a single session; imagine what a full course could do for you and your hair. And at $48 nett instead of its usual $556, plus a free haircare kit, there’s no better deal to cop.
All you need to do is book your appointment ahead of time online or via WhatsApp, and waltz into their outlets at NEX, Ngee Ann City, Velocity @ Novena, The Clementi Mall, or Jurong Point to enjoy this deal. Regardless which of their 5 outlets you visit, you’ll defo be treated with the same, VIP-esque TLC.
