Why oil makes hair look thin

Excess oil makes strands clump and lie flat, so more scalp shows. In hot, humid weather it is more noticeable by the afternoon.

Daily routine

Wash with a gentle shampoo as often as you need, use lukewarm water and rinse well. Avoid scrubbing hard or putting heavy styling products at the roots.

Tudung and caps

Make sure your hair is dry before you put on a tudung or cap, and change it if it gets damp with sweat.

In-centre care

The Hokkaido kelp scalp-detox step in Xenocell Boost focuses on clearing sebum and build-up. Your consultant explains whether it suits you after the scan.
