Scalp flare-ups have a way of creeping up in Singapore’s heat. If your hair feels greasy just hours after a wash, your scalp feels tight or itchy, or flakes keep returning despite switching different types of over-the-counter shampoos, these could be signs that your scalp is out of balance – and needs more targeted care.
TK TrichoKare’s approach goes beyond surface-level relief – combining trichological expertise, premium European herbal formulations and advanced technology to address scalp concerns at the source. It’s a comprehensive approach that has earned them the Best Deep-Cleansing Scalp Treatment at the Her World Spa and Hair Awards 2026.
Diagnose before you treat
The experience begins well before the treatment itself. Upon arrival, Her World Spa and Hair Awards reviewer Elise Wong – who had concerns about dandruff and an oily scalp – was welcomed with a cup of rose tea, before being guided through a detailed questionnaire covering her health history, genetics, lifestyle and diet.
Next, the consultant uses a Tricho-Scan device – magnifying the scalp up to 200 times – to assess Elise’s scalp condition in detail. This allows the treatment to be targeted to specific areas of concern, such as the root cause of her persistent dandruff and oiliness.
The treatment itself opens with a sensorial note, where a heated herb-infused shoulder pad is placed to boost blood circulation and melt away tension for deep relaxation.
A customised European Herbal Scalp Masque is then applied and massaged onto her scalp. In Elise’s case, the formulation included tea tree, which helps to soothe itchiness and reduce excess oil, and magnolia to enhance shine and protect the scalp from irritation.
The masque is left on for approximately 15 minutes, accompanied by a relaxing head massage that helps enhance absorption into her scalp pores.
As a bonus, Elise adds: “The specialist was warm and attentive, checking in regularly about my comfort and proactively refilling my tea.”
Premium European herbs to nourish the scalp
Once hair is washed and partially dried, the next key step focuses on nourishment and hydration: the application of a customised treatment essence delivered via a NanoMist Spray, which disperses ultra-fine particles evenly across the scalp.
The essence contains a trio of premium European herbs – saw palmetto, which helps slow thinning for healthier, thicker hair; calendula, to soothe inflammation; and nettle, which helps strengthen hair while retaining moisture.
The nanotechnology behind the delivery method allows the essence to penetrate deeper into the scalp due to the mist’s smaller molecular size. The essence is then massaged onto the scalp to enhance the absorption further.
The treatment concludes with TK TrichoKare’s Hair Bang, a low-light therapy device designed to help maintain the scalp’s pH balance, detoxify and reduce inflammation.
“After the treatment, my scalp felt clean and itch-free” Elise says. A closing Tricho-Scan with the consultant showed visible improvement – less congestion and reduced oiliness compared to the pre-treatment scan.
Elise also received a complimentary haircare kit worth $45, which includes a Nourishing Hair Bath shampoo and CompleteKare Mask conditioner, for continued maintenance at home.
