TrichoKare Session 3

I completed my 3rd session with Tk and absolutely love my hair now. It is growing and thickening as well. I'm not sure is it because its been 8 months since Baby Kate was born and its time the hair are growing. But I do think the treatment did help loads in terms of cleaning the scalp and encouraging hair growth. 

After attending 3 sessions of the hair treatments, I have discovered a lot about the hair.  I have a history of hair loss in the family, my dad has greying and my mum has hair-loss. So I get both .. yes like argh. When I was younger and studying = stressful environment, I get grey hair.

Here are some information on Hair that I got to know after attending TK TrichoKare. I got the information from the internet and decided to summarise it for u!

Hair Quantity

On a average you see 2-3 pieces growing from a single pore and from others only one. Besides, the number of pores has been genetically determined and cannot be increased after birth. Persons who appear to have bushy hair usually have thick hair with as much hair volume. On the contrary, those who have only thin hair tend to have less hair volume even if the number of pieces of hair is fairly large.

Hair Cycle

Hair has a cycle called the "Hair Cycle", and hair is regenerated by repeating (1) Anagen, (2) Catagen and (3) Telogen.

(1) AnagenThis is a period when hair matrix cells undergo repeated division, and hair grows thick. It continues for 3-6 years for men, and 4-8 years for women.

(2) CatagenHair roots start degenerating and multiplication speed of hair matrix cells drops sharply.

(3) TelogenThis pausing period continues for 3-6 months when hair growth is stopped completely.There are some differences according to sex, individual and degree of hair care but the hair cycle is roughly 3-8 years for healthy hair.

Hair Makeup

99% of hair is composed of a protein called "keratin". Since the amino acid methionine which constitutes this keratin is not formed in the body, protein needs to be taken in the daily diet in forms such as soy beans, wheat flour, milk, liver, eggs, meat and fish. The reason why nutritional deficiency brought on by excess dieting tends to cause hair problems such as hair loss is because of insufficient protein.

For me , I suffer from Post Partum Hair-loss which is a common ailments for mummies. This is hair loss which occurs before or after giving birth. By pregnancy, hormone balance undergoes a substantial change. This makes catagen of the hair cycle longer, and occasionally it happens that hair which was in telagen remains without falling. Depending on the person, remained hair fall at a stretch after delivery when hormone returns to normality. Sometimes, 20% of hair is lost at once,This is a kind of hair loss which can be cured as time goes by. However, there are cases which fail to recover. It is advised to avoid self-diagnosis. The thing is that during this time it can be very demoralising for alot of us and going for treatments can help with additional loss! Some times I do think, what do you think is the worst thing for a women? Wrinkled Skin, sagging boobs, being fat or balding hair? I think is all but at least all can be saved if you have enough spare cash! But if there is no hair, somehow nothing can help much ya? So the only thing to do is to ensure that we maintain it now! 

I managed to get my scalp analysed after my 3 treatments and wow, don't u think it looks really healthy? Here is my post and the before photo is here. 

Here are some of my hairdo, I have been sporting having the treatments and I LOVE IT!

From My personal experience:

During the 3 treatments I did, I felt that the hair scalp is cleaner an less oiler. Although I didn't see much change in the hair texture coz its was a scalp treatment right? hahhaha. But this post is written 3 months after my hair treatments and its obvious of the quality and quantity of hair I have now. I don't suffer from hair fall and my hair grows really fast. Even my hairdresser commented that I must continue what I am doing just because it is doing my scalp and hair loads of justice!

TrichoKare Session 2

I have been looking though the websites on the different herbs used in TrichoKare. Their botanical ingredients are their selling point, they emphasized a lot on herbalism- which is one of the oldest method of healing. Their treatments and products contain premium European herbs, which are formulated by herbalist and certified by a Trichologist. They contain bio- extracts that nourish the hair follicles and scalp. 

Have you read my post on how clean my scalp was? How light I felt after my treatment? I basically told all my girlfriends to go and try it out, coz I believe every one should enjoy the grease removing, deep cleansing treatment! You can read my personal experience here: TrichoKare

Burdock - Promotes healthy hair, relieves scalp irritation and improves scalp conditions.

Chicory - Aids in hair growth, effective in relieving skin allergies and inflammation.

Elderflower - Helps soothe problem hair and scalp with unparalleled care.

Jojoba - Delays ageing of hair with antioxidant properties.

Lavender - Soothe and calm the scalp.

Leopard's Bane - Stimulates the immune system, relieves pain and inflammation, and clears fungal and bacterial infections.

Nettle - Regulates heavy sebum production that may clog the hair follicles.

Sage - Used in hair loss prevention and dandruff treatment, moisturises and darkens hair.

White Willow - Good for dandruff and dry itchy scalp, a highly effective anti-inflammatory for oily and acne-prone scalp.

T.K Trichokare uses a broad array of European herbs and botanicals to deliver a natural solution that achieves results – their herbal treatments not only smell great, but are also healthy. I personally love it because it has made my hair so healthy and doesn't have the Traditional Chinese herbal smell, which is really adverse. Not so sure about you, but I love to have a whiff of a nice, pleasant smelling hair when the wind blows. NOT FROM ME, from the other person... you know how we walk past a stranger and how you turn to look at her just because she has nice smelling hair? Me is a sucker :D

I did my last session and they did a energy serum for me. Its like a cold wrap that is just just just so nice. I was like thinking, I can get used to this!! 

The massage the serum into the scalp and it helps with hair growth

A usual, I had a nice hair blow 

Its been about 1.5 months since I attended my 3 sessions. I decided not to write too much but let 1 photos explain it all. Its amazing how the hair has started to grow healthily. After birth hair loss is a depressing thing and most mummies end up with balding areas. For me, I did the drastic and thats to cut the hair short to minimise the loss. But I must say I am ready to grow the hair out!

I have a widow's peak that went bald for a while..and look! its growing!!!

Slimming 101 - Review

Flomummy got invited to Slimming 101 for 3 sessions of slimming. Woots woots right? 

As of every post partum, most mummies who breastfeed their babies get to lose loads of weight. Me, however keeps the fats in pretty securely. It's darn frustrating when the whole world seems to think that breastfeeding keeps the weight down. NOPE, it doesn't work like that for everyone, well not so much for me. I am one of those who will drop the weight once I STOP breastfeeding. *wails. We accomplished breastfeeding for about 1.5 years with Victoria.  For Kate I will just keep going, for it has become 2nd nature for me as I absolutely love the bond and the smiles she give me when she is latched on.

Slimming 101- 1st session

I made way to Funan DigitaLife Mall #04-07 for the session. I am not a regular of slimming session which makes me actually a novice! I did one when I was real young in my early 20's with another local slimming centre but OH man what a flop! It was way too torturing coz they lock u up in a cubicle and cold wrap! It doesn't motivate u to want to continue because it was pure torture. Cold, lonely and dripping liquid was not my version of being beautiful, lest to say I "resigned"from my package after 3 sessions. 

Every since then, I have never stepped in a slimming parlour... but I am truly excited for this one! 

I was brought to a corner to measure height and weight myself, the machine churn out a list of numbers in a form of a receipt. It was really exciting 'cept for the moment I saw my weight! *crap . I am 6 kg away from the start of #2 pregnancy, a 10 kg from #1, a 15kg #married, a 20kg #start of SQ days. The thing about numbers, it increases with age isn't it? 

Scientist have said that we should not look at numbers when we want to lose weight but just be consistent in exercise and eating well. Well, I think these scientist are MALES coz a female will never tell you NOT to look at the weight.  RIGHT?

Okie as usual, I digress again.. back to work. The photo shows my receipt of numbers... I pixel-led it coz all women don't tell weight right? hahahha  I showed what is the MOST IMPORTANT and that is the FAT content, I am 7.2 kg EXCESS !!! *boo hoo.. feels miserable. The consultant explained that  the body makes extra fats to keep baby nice and fuzzy in the womb. I reckon I had 3-4kg didn't lose from # 1 and now with #2,  they just multiple isn't it?!!!!

my list... not favourable numbers

                                 

I am 18 kg fat mass and the healthy range is 11.9- 24 kg. 

My metabolic age is 47 years old!!! like WTH (never exercise still talk so loud)

I am 7-8kg to my ideal weight. *WAILS LOUDLY

My Fat Mass!!

Getting robed up

The consultation took about 15 mins to go though everything and suggest that I go through a Detox program to open the pores and clear toxins build up. I think its a great idea for I think the water retention around my body is very serious cause I can feel my wibbly wobbly body. I know my thighs and bums are all gone case coz it seems hard since even before birth. I was brought to a room to change and weigh myself in my bathrobe. Next was a sauna sit in, which was helped to open the pores. 

The consultant came in and help me massage my body, paying most attention to my lymph nodes and ensuring they are not clogged. After the acupoint massage, she applied mineral salt to my body - the mineral in the salt is supposed to help with detoxing. (This I never knew, alway thought its a gimmick for them to sell salt at a high price)

After the massage, she wrapped me up in a warm blanket. Wa this I love! What a stark difference from the cold wraps I had aeons ago!!!!!!!!!! I felt nice and cosy in the blanket and fell asleep, the TV which was playing Caesars helped laud me to sleep. It was about 20 mins later I woke up all wet, the plastic which I was wrapped around had that shrunk feeling and the mineral salt felt soapy. At this point, I was  being a child by sliding my body side to side and feeling if i did lose alot of water hahaha!!!!

The cosy treatment room

I managed to take photo of my after treatment photos. You can see that my body parts managed a good sweat!!!!!! 

Tummy

My thighs
