If you’re not happy with the health or look of your hair, there’s a high chance that your scalp needs help, too. Most hair problems are the result of what’s going on with the scalp. So if your hair is greasy, for instance, it’s likely that you have an oily scalp; if you’re losing strands, poor blood circulation in your scalp may be to blame.

Jean Yip’s 6 Elements Botanicals Hair Spa Therapy addresses these and other common hair concerns while pampering your locks. The treatment starts with a hair-and-scalp analysis to identify the problem. This is followed by a shampoo and the application of a botanical mask that targets your concern. Thereafter, oxygen therapy is applied to stimulate the roots. The luxurious treatment ends with a head massage, followed by the application of a hair tonic.

There are six masks to choose from, each named after an element and designed to tackle a specific scalp or hair problem. Each mask contains carefully selected botanical ingredients with specific therapeutic benefits.

With sage, dandelion, fennel and mint, this mask promises to protect hair from fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms that can irritate the scalp and cause dandruff or fungal infections. Plus, it conditions hair, reduces grease and soothes the scalp, preventing dryness while giving volume and shine.

An excessively oily scalp can lead to hair loss. Willow bark, burdock, nettle and turmeric help control excess sebum, while their antibacterial properties are said to prevent issues such as seborrheic dermatitis, bumps and pimples. The mask also nourishes the scalp, boosts shine and targets hair loss.

Anti-inflammatory botanicals such as aloe vera, boswellia, magnolia and plantago help soothe the scalp, and minimise inflammation and irritation. Ideal for people who suffer from scalp eczema, atopic dermatitis and contact dermatitis, the mask also hydrates your scalp and hair.

Hair that is shedding or thinning needs a steady supply of nutrients by way of a healthy diet and nourishing ingredients applied topically. This hair mask contains wild yam, liquorice, soya bean and horsetail that work to soothe the scalp. They are also said to reduce hair loss caused by pregnancy and anaemia by boosting blood circulation under the scalp.

Black sesame, which has soothing and antioxidant properties, supposedly helps darken hair without the use of dyes or chemicals. According to the brand, other ingredients, such as mulberry, raspberry and cinnamon, also encourage hair darkening, boost shine, and promote a head full of healthy tresses.

The main ingredient here is saw palmetto, which reportedly inhibits the production of a hormone that causes hair loss. Other ingredients include ginseng, green tea and eclipta alba, which are believed to help fight hair loss and premature greying.
