Hair Care Tips

1. What is the proper procedure for washing hair?
Step 1: Rinse your hair with warm water. Step 2: Squeeze shampoo onto your palm and rub to lather before applying on your hair. Do not apply shampoo directly on your hair. Step 3: Do not scratch your scalp with finger nails; instead use your finger pulps to gently massage it. Step 4: Rinse your hair thoroughly to avoid leaving any residue on your scalp.
2. How many times a week should I wash my hair to prevent hair loss?
We should wash our hair daily to wash away sebum on our scalp that can clog up our hair follicles. Daily hair wash and hair care routines are the key to healthy looking hair. Getting rid of the dirt on the hair is the most basic step, so that your hair can absorb the nutrients more effectively. Chinese herbs such as Chinese knotweed root, Chinese angelica root, Wolfberry tree fruit, Black sesame, helps achieve radiant-looking hair.
3. Which can prevent hair loss - Hot shower or cold shower?
There is a general misconception that a hot shower helps get rid of sebum on the scalp and a cold rinse after that helps unclog pores, which keeps the hair clean and dry. It is true that a hot shower removes dirt more easily, but it will stimulate sebum secretion on the scalp. Rinsing it with cold water after that will cause the sebum to stay on the scalp. Hence, set water temperature for your shower between 37ºC to 38ºC, which is the most appropriate.
4. Would air-conditioned room can also cause dandruff problem?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, low temperature will cause chill in the body and thus poor blood circulation and kidney deficiency, which can cause hair loss. The dryness in an air-conditioned room can also cause dandruff problem.
5. Would excessive dieting lead to hair loss?
Blood is the main channel to nutrients for hair follicles. Hence, it is important to have balanced nutrition in order to achieve beautiful and radiant hair. Excessive dieting causes malnutrition, and will lead to hair loss and other hair-related problems.
