Hair Care Tips For Tropical Climate

Hello, this is hairstylist Edward Kim and I am going to provide you with useful information on hair. The strong sunlight in Singapore affects not only the skin but also the scalp, and I have seen numerous clients having scalp problems. How do we protect our scalp and hair from the long exposure to UV-rays in tropical climate?

Scalp is also part of the skin, thus it can be classified into dry and oily types. Firstly, healthy scalp and hair can be maintained by washing your hair at least once a day to get rid of the sweat, dandruff and dust accumulated during the day. Hair is easily damaged when the pores are clogged with sweat and dandruff, so it is recommended that those with oily scalp should wash their hair once in the morning and once in the evening. Those with normal scalp should wash their hair thoroughly at least once a day. It is also important to dry your hair and scalp completely before going to sleep to avoid growing bacteria, which could further damage your hair and scalp.


One common mistake that people with scalp problems make is that they do not dry their hair after washing their hair. If you are running for time, I recommend that at least the scalp and the hair near scalp should be dried. This is especially relevant to those with long hair, where a considerable amount of time is taken to dry their hair. Use the hair dryer not only to dry the hair near the scalp but also to give some volume to the hair. Killing two birds with one stone!

For dry scalp, it gets very flakey and results in itchiness. It is important to wash off the shampoo on the scalp thoroughly. Drying the hair without completely washing off would be the top reason for the occurrence of dandruff. It is also important to keep hydrated by drinking lots of water and complement your diet with milk, tofu, seaweed, meat, fish and egg for various vitamins, protein and minerals. Using hair tonic products is another good way to protect your scalp from drying out.


For healthier hair and scalp, it is also vital to regularly provide treatment. Working adults who tend to have less time could choose to use treatment products at home or massage their scalps manually. It is not necessary to visit professional masseurs or hair salons for the maintenance of hair and scalp health. Choosing the right products is critical. Regular home care may not be easy but this would keep the hair and scalp hydrated, preventing the sunlight from damaging them.

People also tend to use normal, commercial shampoos without understanding the type of their hair and scalp. Those commercial shampoos we see everyday in supermarkets could have stronger cleansing power but could also be irritating for sensitive scalp. Shampoos better suited for different types of scalp/hair should be used in place of the normal ones. 


Trees and plants grow better on good soil; hair grows better on good scalp. Many of the food in Singapore tend to be oily, and such diet would result in oily scalp as the sebum produced from the pores increases. Constant exposure to such diet would consequently change the type of your scalp/hair. Those with oily types of scalp should try to cut down oily food and do not forget to wash the hair twice a day with shampoos customized for oily scalp. 

It is difficult to change the type of your scalp/hair, so we should focus on prevention, rather than tackling the problem after it has occurred.

Hair Color That Suit Your Skin Tone by Edward Kim



Hello, I am hairstylist Edward. Today, I would like to discuss about the hair color that suits different skin tones. If you are thinking of changing your hair color and unsure of what color to change to, my article can be useful for you. Take my article as a reference and wish you all the best with choosing new hair color!

Firstly, Asian skin tones can be classified into 4 types: fair skin tone, dark skin tone, reddish skin tone and yellowish skin tone.

For Koreans, majority of them have fair skin tone. This is partially due to many of them using products like BB cream that has started trending a few years ago. This does not exclude men, and I have noticed that a lot of them have generally fair skin. Such fair skin tones can actually accommodate any color. If the skin is slightly reddish, colors like red-brown or wine-red would be great. Otherwise, you can also try pink-brown color, which has been gaining popularity recently. However, if the skin is the ‘cooler’ fair tone, blue-black or dark purple would look better. Since fair skins suit any hair color overall, you can choose a color that suits your personality and mood. Bright colors can give cute and cheerful feel, while dark colors give elegance and classy aura.

Next, there is dark skin tone, and one well-known Korean celebrity with such skin is Lee Hyo-ri. For those with dark skins, you can look healthy and active. However, if your hair color is too bright, your skin will be contrasted excessively and end up looking dull. Therefore, you should avoid bleaching your hair or dyeing in too bright a color. Instead, colors with medium brightness such as dark orange or copper-brown will be the best. Orange can give sexier look compared to normal brown color. Surprisingly, many of the female idol groups choose to dye black even with dark skin tones. Examples are Hyorin from Sistar and Hyeri from Girl’s Day. It can give strong and lasting impressions. Also, do take note that you would have to bleach your hair if you wish to dye with another color after dyeing your hair black! Bleaching is very damaging to the hair condition as well.

Next, we have reddish skin tone. It is a warm-toned skin, so it is best to do cool-toned colors rather than warm-toned. If the hair color were to be similarly reddish or orange, it would accentuate the redness of the skin tone. Thus, it is best to avoid reddish-brown, wine-red or pink-brown colors. Cool-toned colors like khaki-brown or ash-brown subtly contain bluish tone underneath, which would help minimize the redness of the skin tone.

Lastly, yellowish skin tone. Asians are supposedly the ‘yellow-skinned’ race and thus many Asians are actually born with yellowish skin tone. With such skin tones, black and dark hair can bring out the oriental feel but may accentuate the yellow tone of the face. I would definitely recommend dark-brown over black and light brown over dark-drown. This would brighten the facial skin tone. If you wish to try self-coloring at home, beware that the color on the roots may turn out slightly lighter due to body temperature. To avoid uneven coloring, it would be better to visit hair salons.

This was Edward Kim, and I will come back with more useful articles in the future.
