If you do suffer from hair loss, greying/white hair, oily/ itchy scalp, dandruff issues, chemically damaged hair as well as bacterial infection on your scalp, read on! Alot of people tend to overlook the scalp which infact, is also part of our skin. It is just that the hair being the dead cells are growing out from it through the pores.
What is your scalp condition? I have an oily scalp and occasionally, I experienced itchiness. On top of the oily scalp, I have chemically damaged hair as my mane was subjected to dye and bleach chemicals at least twice a year. After all the exposure to the chemicals, the condition of my hair was really dry. To the extend that I could not even comb my fingers through when my hair is dry, not to mention when the hair is wet after shower, it is usually much worse.

Then, I was introduced to try
Bee Choo Origin Herbal Scalp Treatment. It was a 10 mins walk from Ang Mo Kio Mrt Station to reach and the outlet was nestled in the neighbourhood.
When I first arrived, I noticed among the patrons, I saw people of old and young, not only women but men too!
Infact, I was really surprised, I thought I was early! But as early as 9.30am, the moment I stepped foot into the salon, there were already patrons having their treatment done! Morning will be good should you want to avoid the afternoon crowd.
I was first given a Microscopic Scalp Analysis. Surprisingly, I was told by the consultant that my scalp was not as oily as what I have related to her. My last scalp treatment for oily hair scalp was SIX years ago! But hey, that does not mean a proper treatment is not necessary! I apologised for the pictures below for those of you who probably have Trypophobia but I have to show difference before and after the treatment.
This was one of the screenshot of my scalp from the scalp analysis before the treatment commenced. The shape of the pores were regular in shape and most had 2 - 3 strands of hair growing out from a pore. It seemed that I have been keeping my scalp well maintained! * Giving myself a pat on the back*

The picture below was actually the lower part of my scalp, more towards the side. Lines can be seen and the scalp on this part was slightly red. This part could be more sensitive as I tend to experience irritation on and off. Overall, the roots of the hair could be seen under the follicles which meant that the follicles were not too congested.

| Before treatment |
Scalp massage with ginger hair tonic, to promote better circulation. Massage helps with relaxing the scalp, promote better circulation and at the same time stimulate the opening of pores on the scalp which will allow better absorption of nutrients from the herbal paste later on. Following the appllication of 100% pure virgin olive oil onto the ends of the hair to condition the hair, making it smoother.
Looked like as if I was given a wig with the mud-like looking, herbal treatment paste on. To be honest, initially I felt that the paste smelled like a milder version of koyok.

Slathering of herbal treatment paste

The entire head wrapped up and ready for steaming, this process took about 45 mins.
This is the AFTER treatment scan on my scalp. Can you see something orangy on some of the pores? Those were actually impurities drawn out from the pores. The consultant did feedback that mine was not as bad as those she had seen before that the whole scalp was filled with orange pores! The thinner strands were actually baby hair growing out!
The effect on my mane, the herbal paste actually actually darkened the former colour I had and the texture of my hair became softer and smoother! After the first treatment, I could actually 'comb' my hair as I ran my fingers through. Usually, it is always challenging to comb through as my hair was too dry.
The after treatment left a herbal scent lingering, I actually could smell it if the hair by the sides slided to the side of my cheek. However, the scent was not overwhelming because through out the journey home on a cab, the driver did not ask what smell was that! No complaint is good news!
This was taken two weeks later after the second treatment under natural lighting. I loved the new 'colour' given, the orange tint overlayed onto my previous colour, pretty natural I say! The natural copper tint is due to the combination of herbs in the herbal cream.
If you love the products used during the treatment, you can purchase the
scalp care products over the counter and good news for those going for short trips. The products come in travel size too and together with a pouch! These are going into my workout bag!
From the left:
Purity Scalp Hair Shampoo - This shampoo helps to clean our scalp clean and debris free! It leaves a refreshing sensation on the scalp after use.
Purity Repair Hair Conditioner – This conditioner is the one that gave my mane the soft and silky feel!
Damaged Hair Rebuilder – For healthy mane, use this! The name speaks for itself, the texture of the cream was thick yet not oily! A little tip, rub on some at the end of your mane before blowing dry! You will get really smooth mane thereafter!
Natural Hair Tonic – I used this after shower and massaged into my scalp before Damaged Hair Rebuilder and blowing it dry. Remember to massage to stimulate the follicals for better blood circulation else no products is going work. Massaging the scalp is essential!

Why choose
Bee Choo Origin?
Firstly, you do not need to burn a whole in your pocket to have a head of beautiful hair, it is really affordable at Bee Choo Origin to get a healthy scalp! Same hair length, I paid $100 plus (after 40%) for the same hair length or probably even shorter than the current length! At Bee Choo Origin, my hair at chin length costs $40.
Secondly, Bee Choo Origin uses
100% natural herbal paste, take a look at the ingredient list below and you will know what good stuff are in it if you do have a little knowledge on Chinese herbs. The ingredients are as follows:
Ginseng - Well known for its anti-oxidant and immune strengthening properties. It also helps in new hair cell regeneration.
Ling Zhi (also known as Reishi Mushroom)- This plant contains triterpenes which may help relieve hypertension as well as reducing the symptoms of allergies. The herbal paste contains Ling Zhi for the purpose of reducing itchiness and risk of infection.
He Shou Wu (also known as Tuber Fleeceflower Root) - This is no stranger to the elder generation, ask them about what is good for healthy black hair, He Shou Wu is the most common answer given. He Shou Wu helps to restore hair pigmentation and slows down grey hair reproduction.
Chuan Xiong (also known as Ligusticum) - If you do read up, our hair infact depends strongly on the follicles and this rhizome has warming properties. Hence, it is beneficial in promoting better Qi and blood circulation especially under the scalp. With good quality of blood supplied to the folicles, you will be sure of growing healthier hair which is more resistant to breakage, growing out from the strengthened follicles.
Dang Gui (also known as Chinese Angelica Root) - This herb is known as a blood tonic, with its blood boosting properties, be sure that good quality, nutrient-filled blood will reach the hair follicles and regulates the scalp immunity.
Here are some of the details you probably may want to take note should you be going for the herbal scalp treatment:
- Do not wear light coloured or white top if your hair length is longer than mine.
- You might experience some irritation on the scalp during the treatment. I experienced it just for that short moment. After washing off, it was fine and the consultant explained that it was due to the blood circulation effect from the herbs present in the paste. After a while, the irritation faded off.
