Yun Nam Hair Care [Sponsored Review]

I never really had any hair problems since young, except for very thick unruly hair that required lots of hair gel or hair spray to keep in place.  Then there's the occasional dandruff problem but it's usually kept in check with the use of over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoo.  My usual haircut then would usually require the thinning of the hair by the barber for my easier styling.

 

However of late, I started to notice that I seemed to lose quite a fair bit of hair when I shower and I can actually see many strands of hair in my hands following a shampooing.  But I always thought I had enough hair to drop anyway.  I also attributed the noticeable shine near my forehead as a sign of excessive oiliness that all.

 

About 2 months back, when I was about to finish my haircut at the salon, the aunty mentioned, "Wah boy ah, your hair...." and I interjected, "very coarse it is?"  She replied, "No lah, your hair quite sparse at the crown leh."  That raise my alarm.  Am I balding already?

 

By sheer coincidence I was invited by Yun Nam Hair Care to try out their herbal treatment recently and accepted without second thoughts.  After all, Yun Nam Hair Care is a recognized leader in the hair care industry, well-known for their comprehensive range of effective treatments with a total of 9 conveniently located outlets in Singapore.

 

I chose to go to the outlet at Julilee Square, conveniently located in Ang Mo Kio Central

1. Professional Scalp Scan & Analysis

 

I was assigned my own personal professional hair care consultant, Ms Carol whom did a detailed scalp scan to examine my hair follicles thoroughly.  She showed me the condition of my scalp and hair growth at various spots and confirmed I had some oiliness near the crown as well as slight hair thinning. Steffi who was with me, laughed.

Normally there would be around 3 strands of hair in one follicle but in my case, many of my follicles have only 1-2 strands with some just being baby hair only!  However she did mention that my condition wasn’t that bad as having baby hair means there were still signs of growth and that with proper treatment to unclog my hair follicles from the excessive sebum buildup, my problem should be solved. 

 

2. Customized Treatment Programme

 

With my problem now diagnosed, I was the led into a private room where she started my FIRST EVER scalp treatment. It consisted of thoroughly cleansing the hair and scalp with ginseng shampoo, with the addition of two other types of hair tonics.  Hair cleansing lotion to sanitize and protect damaged scalp as well as hair renewal lotion to nourish the scalp and hair.

After the shampooing, I was given a hair with special tonic treatment to dissolve the layer of sebum on the scalp.  My consultant had to painstakingly use cotton pads to rub the tonic and grease off my scalp after the steaming, before another round of ginseng shampooing as well as charcoal shampooing to wash everything off.  Finally a Hair Nutritional Lotion was applied into my scalp and left in while my hair was blown dry.

The consultant did another scalp analysis right after the treatment and the difference in my scalp condition pre and post treatment was clearly evident.  I can see my hair follicles clearly now, without any blockages at all as compared to when I first arrived.

3. Home Care and Follow-up

 

Treatment does not stop here.  Ms Carol gave me clear instructions on how to take care of my hair back home, with the myriad of hair care products that the company had bundled together just for me.

 

The range of Yun Nam Hair Care product that included shampoos, conditioner, various types of tonic, al made from 100% top-grade natural herbs.
