you have to live with just
because you’re getting

treatments and products

off the way your hair
looks. Think bounce,
shine, volume.DELAYTHEGREYING
PROCESS
Thehairfolliclescontain
pigment cells that give your
hair its natural colour. As
time passes, these cells
decrease, so new hair is
lighter in colour. The cells
decrease to the point where
none are left. That’s when
hair becomes white.TRY THESE:
1 L’Oreal Professionnel
Serioxyl Black & Full Scalp
Rejuvenating Essence ($78)
is a daily hair-loss treatment
with black shou wu, a
traditional Chinese herbal
extract that infuses hair with
dark pigments – so that what
would otherwise become grey
stays black longer.2 PHS Hairscience is a
clinical-grade bio-cosmetic
brand whose Age Defy
Grey Reverse Activator
($274) helps reactivate
pigment cells. The result
of this increase in melanin
production is darkerhair.BRING THE BOUNCE BACK
TO FLAT, LIMP HAIR
Humidity, dirt and your
scalp’s natural oils are a
sure-fire combo for weighing
hair down. Singapore’s all-
the-time humidity is also
the reason why wavy strands
straighten out, and fine
strands go limp. Why? All
that moisture in the air has
to go somewhere, so it lands
on skin and is absorbed by
hair. If your hair is already
thinning as a result of ageing,
it will inevitably appear a
lot flatter.TRY THESE:
1 The idea behind aesthetic
clinic SW1 Clinic’s
Full Potential Program
($8,731.20) is that if the
scalp is healthy and strong,
the hair will also be healthy
and strong as well as thick,
so it has more volume
and bounce. The holistic
programme creates an
optimised environment for
hair so it feels thicker and
fuller. It comprises two
treatments: two Kera-clone
Therapy sessions to increase
circulation in the scalp and
stimulate the hair roots; and
six Revage 670 low-level
laser sessions, which are
meant to encourage hair
cell regeneration for strands
that feel thicker, suppler and
more durable.2 A volumising product
sprayed at the roots gives
fine, limp hair the extra lift
it needs to look fuller. Percy
& Reed Up, Up & Away
Root Lift Mousse ($29)
is a lightweight spray-to-
mousse product
with styling
polymers that give
hair volume and
movement. It also
protects against
heat styling and
humidity, warding
off frizz and
flyaways.HAIR
