Let's talk about hair care! Let me describe my hair real quick—I have oily hair, but also dry scalp. If I don't wash my hair for at least a day it gets really heavy and oily. My hair is also naturally straight, and it used to be really thick, but the thickness has lessened quite a bit...even more so now that I've been dealing with postpartum hairfall 🥲
Story time—up until 2017 I was getting birth control in the form of Depotrust (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) injectables, which I thought worked really well for me—no mood swings, no weight gain, my skin looked glowy AF. That is, until I started noticing my hair thinning right at the crown. It eventually got so bad that whenever I took pics under harsh lighting it looked like I was balding. (A quick Reddit search showed me similar stories.) I immediately stopped getting the injection, and although my hair never returned to its original thickness, I was just happy that the bald spot wasn't as apparent anymore. Fast forward to the present, nine months postpartum, I find myself having to deal with the same problem all over again. It's frustrating, but I guess I should take this as a sign that I need to start taking care of my hair just as much as I take care of my skin, especially now that I'm in my mid-30's 😤
And so, enter the Root Booster Shampoo and Edge Finger Brush duo from Grafen!✨
Root Booster Shampoo
An anti-hairloss shampoo infused with 22 kinds of amino acids, Houttuynia Cordata extract and Perilla Leaf extract to soothe and relieve scalp irritation, plus Camellia Seed Oil and Olive Oil to nourish and keep hair sleek and healthy. Strengthens hair and soothes the scalp, and promises reduced hairfall in as little as 4 to 6 weeks!
Edge Finger Brush
A shampoo brush that provides a more thorough scalp cleansing compared to just the fingers. Its soft, pointed tips made from medical silicone helps remove dirt and product build up which can irritate the scalp. Since I have dry scalp and oily hair, dandruff is unfortunately also part of the whole package. I find that using the Edge Finger Brush regularly has lessened it quite a bit! I can't belive that just the addition of this little brush has made shampooing so effortless and a lot more fun. I love that I get a little scalp massage everytime hehe 🥰I've been using this combination for a little over a week now, and I like it a lot so far! It cleanses well without feeling too drying, and leaves my hair soft and smooth without weighing it down. Unfortunately though, my hair does get oily again right away the next day after washing. I think the Root Booster Shampoo would be great for daily washes, but not quite enough for deep cleansing. I might have to check out Grafen's Hinoki Line, which I feel is better suited for my hair and scalp's condition.
The Root Booster Shampoo and Edge Finger Brush are available as a set on Grafen's official stores on Shopee and Lazada. Outside of the PH, you can get them from YesStyle—use my code 'CHAINYAN' to get 5% off (*´︶`*)♡
