Advanced hair growth treatments for hair loss
Advanced hair growth treatment is a procedure that reactivates dormant hair follicles. Using micro-needling, nutrients are delivered directly to the follicles, helping to restore volume to thinning hair. According to salon director Kemi, this treatment is particularly suitable for conditions such as postpartum hair loss, stress-induced hair thinning caused by high stress or irregular lifestyles, and widened hair partings, which many women are concerned about. However, it's important to note that this treatment can only improve hair loss if the hair follicles are still present. For cases of complete follicle loss, such as male-pattern baldness, advanced hair growth treatments are not viable.

Tips to prevent frizz in high-humidity areas
In the high-humidity climate of Keelung, frizzy hair is a common concern. Kemi, who has extensive experience caring for the hair of Keelung residents, explains that proper daily hair care can significantly reduce frizz. One key reason for frizz is excessive hair breakage.
To combat this, it’s essential to focus on hair hydration. Use conditioner after shampooing and apply hair oil before blow-drying as part of your routine. Additionally, opt for a high-density paddle brush with wider bristles. Start brushing from the ends and gradually move up to the mid-lengths to prevent breakage. By maintaining proper hydration and minimizing hair breakage, you can reduce the impact of humidity on frizz. However, for naturally curly hair, Kemi recommends a perm treatment to better manage and style it.

Why choose 98 hair studio for the name?
"The salon was originally located in Alley 98 of a certain road, so we named it 98 to make the alley at the front of the shop more recognizable," Kemi explained with simplicity and ease when discussing the often-challenging process of naming a business. While straightforward, the name also reflects Kemi's love for her hometown of Keelung. In the year Kemi had both the ability and opportunity to start a business, she chose a tucked-away location inside an alley. The goal was to create a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the nearby tourist spot, Miaokou Night Market. Visitors stepping into the second-floor studio are greeted with a peaceful retreat that feels worlds apart. "I believe this is what makes 98 Hair unique," Kemi said.
