i promise myself that i would take care of my hair better this year. i've been facing hair loss problems since giving birth, but i never take it seriously since i have lots of hair. even up until now, i just want to reduce hair shedding without making it grow more. anyway, i've been trying loreal hair loss shampoo and it's been working for a bit, but my scalp was acting out after that. i start to get itchy scalp and dandruff as well. the weather has been hot lately so i guess it affected my scalp. anyway, i've been watching kae's ig and she recommended some erha hair products, including the scalp products. i decided to try the scalp exfoliating gel.
this is the description from their website: erhair scalperfect BHA & allantoin scalp exfoliating gel helps remove stubborn dirt on scalp like dandruff, oil, dust and pollution, hair spray residue and other hair styling product without adding irritation (mild exfoliation). scale or stubborn dirt on dandruff and seborrhoic dermatitis often could not get rid just by using daily shampoo. it needs effective scalp exfoliator to fight scale or dandruff quickly and thoroughly.
3 important uses of scalperfect exfoliating gel for hair and scalp:
- exfoliating scalp mildy and safely for sensitive scalp. remove stubborn dirt on scalp like dandruff, oil, dust and pollution, hair spray residue and other hair styling product without irritating scalp (mild exfoliation).
- stimulate hair growth: healthy scalp promotes new healthy hair growth. scalperfect exfoliating gel works by removing dead skin cells and stimulates new cells regeneration on scalp. healthy clean scalp. for a healthier hair growth.
- moisten scalp and increased hair elasticity: removes dandruff and dead skin cells on scalp and stimulates natural oil production on scalp to maintain its balance and moisture.
salicylic acid (BHA) as exfoliator to remove dandruff so scalp becomes clean and healthy.
lavender oil as antimicrobe-antifungal agent that effectively helps soothe and reduce itchiness on scalp and give calming scent.
allantoin: helps soothe and reduce itchiness on scalp.
menthol: gives cooling effect and comfortable for scalp.
hydrovance and aquaxyl: moisten and maintains scalp hydration, maintains balance and scalp health after shampooing and makes hair shiny and doesn't fall easily.
betaine: part of natural component of skin (natural moisturizing factor) that helps to maintain scalp moisture and reduce irritation and inflammation on scalp.
the packaging: i bought this together with the hair loss toner. the hair loss toner comes in a box, but i completely forgot about this one. i can't find the box, so i guess it doesn't come in a box. the gel comes in a white plastic squeeze tube like a toothpaste. it has white-blue combination label. i think the whole scalp/dandruff line has blue-white combination. there's description at the back in indonesian, as well as the ingredients list. it has spout to dispense the product out.

the scent: probably because it contains lavender oil, so it smells really nice. a bit fragrant but not too much. i don't mind anyway since i'll be washing my hair after putting it on my scalp.

the product: it's a transparent gel. the spout makes it easier to dispense the product on my scalp. the direction tells us to put it on scalp and massage it and let it dry for five minutes before rinsing it. and that's exactly what i do. i put it on my scalp, especially on area where i feel itchy or i can see some dandruff on that area and then massage it well. i usually do other things and then proceed with washing it off then shampooing my hair.

the result: i've been using this for about two weeks. since i exercise every day, i wash my hair every two days. and i've been using this every time i wash my hair. on my first try, i was glad that this had cooling sensation. back then, i hadn't washed my hair for almost 3 days since we didn't have enough fresh, clean water to wash my hair (our water supply was stopped because there was a problem in our home area and it took awhile to take care of it) and it was a bit hot since it hasn't rained for two days so the cooling sensation was really soothing for my angry and greasy scalp. after washing it off, there's no residue left behind. really easy to use. after the first use, i can totally feel it helps with the itchiness. it subsides quite significantly. though it didn't remove all the dandruff on my first try. but after using it regularly for two weeks, i can't even see any dandruff now. maybe if my hair really greasy and dirty, i can see some dandruff but it's only on a small area. and the itchiness is gone too.
i'm very pleased with my purchase. i was torn between the gel or the serum, but now i'm glad i bought the gel. actually i want to force my husband to use it also, but he's too lazy to use it himself but he always washes his hair without letting me know in the first place, so i have no chance to make him try it. anyway, if you have problem with scalp, like itchiness and dandruff, you should try this gel. it does work. i might dial back the frequency since i don't see or feel any problem after using this regularly for two weeks, but definitely will repurchase to keep it in my stash. price is reasonable, but this one comes in 30 g. i don't have larger area to cover, so i don't use much product so far. but if you have larger area to cover, you might run the product faster. just keep that in mind.
