The crazy layering of skincare can take seven, eight or more steps as Asian beauty junkies don't want to miss out on product promises, whether that is for hydrating, brightening or Botox-mimicking.
Haircare routines are much simpler and shorter with fewer products involved. However, shampoo and conditioner may not be enough.
More steps and products can help maintain a healthy scalp and hair against environmental, physical and chemical damage well as the ageing process.
Apart from "snowing" dandruff, you can't really see the nasty pile-up on the scalp. Before shampooing, massaging a cleansing oil on a dry scalp can help remove excess sebum and dead skin cells clogging pores.
Exfoliating shampoos further eliminate residue to prime the scalp and hair for effective conditioning with a mask or intensive treatment.
On a daily basis, hair also deserves the same treatment as skin — serums, moisturisers and sunscreen — for it to face damaging factors.
Moreover, carry a hydrating hair mist as on-the-go grooming gives tresses touch-ups during the day.
