You have questions? we have solutions.

1. How often should I wash my hair?

The ideal washing frequency depends on your hair type, scalp condition, and lifestyle:

Oily scalp & fine hair → Every 1–2 days to prevent buildup.
Normal hair → Every 2–3 days is sufficient.
Dry or curly hair → Every 3–7 days to retain moisture.
Coily or textured hair → Once a week or less, with co-washing in between.

In Malaysia’s humid climate, we generally recommend washing your hair every 2 days. If you exercise daily, opt for a mild shampoo

like Calming Wash or Maple Wash to cleanse your hair without stripping natural oils. See Product Info.

Tip: Overwashing removes essential oils, while infrequent washing can lead to scalp buildup, dandruff, and irritation.

We noticed many customer got confused with the hair type they have. They often tell us they have sensitive scalp, actually its likely

they use the wrong shampoo. WE can offer free consultation after checking their hair and scalp. WE also can recommend them the

write shampoo for them to try.

2. What’s the best shampoo and conditioner for my hair type?

Oily scalp → Lightweight, volumizing, clarifying shampoos. Avoid heavy conditioners on the roots.
Dry & damaged hair → Hydrating, sulfate-free, protein-enriched formulas.
Curly/coily hair → Moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoos with silicone-free conditioners.
Color-treated hair → Color-safe, sulfate-free formulas with UV protection.
Dandruff-prone scalp → Medicated shampoos with zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or salicylic acid.

Why do I get dandruff?

Wrong shampoo & washing frequency – High-silicone shampoos can create buildup, blocking scalp follicles.
Lifestyle factors – Poor sleep (less than 8 hours or late nights past midnight) can trigger excess sebum production,
worsening dandruff due to hormonal imbalances, stress, and poor blood circulation.

Eat a nutrient-rich diet → Include protein, iron, biotin, and omega-3s.
Scalp massage → Boosts blood circulation and stimulates follicles.
Use gentle products → Avoid sulfates, alcohols, and harsh chemicals.
Reduce heat styling → Excess heat weakens hair and leads to breakage.

5. Is frequent heat styling bad for my hair?

Yes, excessive use of styling tools (straighteners, curling irons, blow dryers) can cause damage, but the right tools and protective products can minimize harm.

Effects of frequent heat styling:

Weakens hair structure by breaking down keratin.
Causes dryness, split ends, and breakage.
Fades color-treated hair more quickly.

How to minimize damage:

Always use a heat protectant before styling.
Keep the temperature below 180°C (350°F).
Limit heat styling to 2–3 times per week.
Air dry whenever possible.

6. How can I make my hair softer and shinier?

Deep condition regularly → Use a moisturizing mask weekly or more often if you wash your hair daily.
Rinse with cool water → Hot water strips natural oils.
Avoid sulfates & alcohol-based products → They dry out hair.
Apply lightweight oils → Argan, coconut, or jojoba oil add shine.
Use a silk pillowcase → Reduces friction and prevents frizz.

7. What’s the best way to treat split ends?

Trim regularly → Every 6–8 weeks to prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.
Avoid excessive brushing → Use a wide-tooth comb to reduce breakage.
Limit heat styling → Excessive heat worsens split ends.
Apply leave-in conditioners & serums → Temporarily smooth and seal split ends.

8. Can diet affect my hair health?

Absolutely! Hair health is directly linked to nutrition. Key nutrients include:

Protein → Essential for keratin production (found in eggs, chicken, fish, beans).
Iron → Prevents hair loss (found in red meat, spinach, lentils).
Biotin & B vitamins → Promote hair growth (found in eggs, nuts, bananas).
Omega-3 fatty acids → Keep hair shiny (found in salmon, walnuts, flaxseeds).
Vitamin D → Deficiency can lead to shedding (get sunlight, eat fortified foods).
Zinc → Supports scalp health (found in oysters, pumpkin seeds).

Tip: Drink plenty of water! Dehydration makes hair dry and brittle.

9. How do I prevent frizzy hair?

Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo & conditioner.
Dry hair gently → Use a microfiber towel instead of rubbing with a regular towel.
Apply anti-frizz serums or oils → Argan oil and shea butter help.
Avoid over-washing → Stripping natural oils leads to frizz.
Use a satin pillowcase → Reduces friction and prevents frizz.
Avoid alcohol-based styling products → They dry out hair.
Style with a leave-in conditioner → Helps lock in moisture.

Tip: Humidity is the biggest enemy—use anti-humidity sprays for protection.
