TOP 6 JAPANESE SHAMPOOS FOR MALAYSIAN WEATHER
Itchy scalp, hair fall, greasy hair, hair loss, split ends–they have attachment issues. Who are they attached to? Me. I’ve always believed that our hair is our crown, the key to our confidence. It says a lot when many of us would go on an endless survey to find the perfect hairstylist; we just can’t afford to have ugly hair. Not when it literally shapes our image! But sometimes even with the perfect haircut, our hair just still continues to be uncooperative in perfecting the ideal look we’re going for.
People tell me all the time about the secret to getting a healthy scalp and hair. Well, what is it?
Believe it or not, it’s all about balance.
Our scalp–which is just like our skin–produces sebum (natural oil) to assist the development of healthy scalp and hair. In order for us to get healthy hair and scalp, we need to make sure the production of sebum on our scalp is balanced.
Besides, how our hair looks starts from the condition of our scalp. If the scalp is too dry, it’ll itch and our hair will become weak and brittle as the layers of our hair strands don’t have enough moisture to keep closed and naturally our hair will split apart or worse, fall out.
But if the scalp is too oily, our pores will be clogged and these will prevent new hair from growing besides making our hair fall out.
This also indicates that we should use shampoos that suit us so here are my personal recommendations for you to try out. Who knows? Maybe they’ll help your scalp and hair out like they did mine ;)
1. MARO HAIR SHAMPOOS
Maro has made sure its brand is all about that balance. Defenscalp is included in their shampoos that helps eliminate our common scalp enemy; alpha reductase, malassezia fungi, and DHT (male sex hormone that causes hair loss), to restore the natural balance of our scalp and ensure a healthy growth of voluminous hair. The ones below are my personal favourites;
These shampoos are more suitable for those struggling with dry hair. Remember: dry hair means our scalp may be lacking the micronutrient it needs. What micronutrient I’m talking about? It starts with a ‘B’ and ends with a ‘tin’. BIOTIN: vitamin B7 or vitamin H which is crucial for providing moisture to our body.
This biotin-carrier shampoo allows me to revitalise my scalp after a long, tiring day under the Malaysian heat that makes my scalp oily, smelly, overwhelmed. But what if you have a dry scalp and need something that’s non-drying? Don’t worry, Superfood Lab makes sure to cater to those struggling with dry scalp too!
