About Double Cleanse

A two-step cleansing ritual designed for scalp’s needs.

The scalp is different from the skin on the rest of the body: 
  • It has an abundance of blood vessels.
  • Higher density of hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands.
  • Scalp has its own distinctive microflora –when sebum and sweat accumulate, it creates an environment that harmful bacteria can thrive in.
  • These make the scalp prone to disorders such as oiliness, itchiness, dandruff, acnes and even hair loss. This is why proper cleansing to prevent unhealthy build-up of sebum, seat and dirt is crucial. Once the scalp is damaged, it’s hard to reverse.
PHS HAIRSCIENCE® advocates a preventive approach
  • The two-step cleansing is designed to eliminate unwanted dirt, sebum, sweat and styling residue without stripping the scalp of its protective natural oils.
  • Prevents hair follicle blockage, rebalances the scalp, enhances micro-circulation and improves the scalp’s natural resistance against infection.
Step 1
  • Start with the ADV Nutrition Shampoo that is suitable for all scalp types.
  • This daily deep cleanser thoroughly removes surface grime and oil, leaving the scalp purified and hair roots perfectly clean.
  1. Can be used daily.
  2. Unclog pores.
  3. Purify and strengthen scalp, providing a strong foundation for healthy hair.

[Korean Movie Review] EXIT


Yong-nam was one of the best rock climbers in college but hasn't had much luck elsewhere after graduation. He has failed to get a job since graduating and has to rely on his parents just to get by. He's a deadbeat living with his parents and doesn't see much hope for the future, he can't even land a date. For his mother's 70th birthday, he insists on hosting a party at a roof top garden restaurant, where his old crush, Eui-ju works. When a disaster strikes, covering an entire district in Seoul with mysterious white gas, he has to use all of his rock-climbing skills with the help of Eui-ju to get everyone to safety. What his mom once thought to be a useless skill soon turns out to be the group's only hope for survival


I've recently watched Exit with Danny at GV Plaza.

The film has a focused story-line but somewhat, predictable. A draggy introductory to begin with some humour element portray. The many intense moment kept me at the edge of the seat too. Honestly, Some of which appear vague and "too good to be true". On the other hand,  it show the real personality of a human in time of crisis as well.

Great that it uses skill and technology for a realisation of its usefulness. Never will one thought that drones and a rock-climbing skills can actually help to save lives. Hence, never belittle any skills and technologies because it may surprise you in many ways. 

It is a fun, exciting and heartwarming show!

Recently, I have attended the gala premiere of《花椒之味》FAGARA at Filmgarde Bugis+.

The movie is engaging, heart-warming with a focused story-line. It has a brief introductory which turn out rather slow and draggy. However, it gradually get better with a conducive plot. 

Though it only revolve a few characters, the show is still promising with veteran artiste such as Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau. 

Also, it educate me to let go of previous grudges, move on and forgive. In whatever circumstances, family will always be supportive to shower care, love and concern. Hence, cherish them dearly before it is too late. 

Prepare yourself a packet of tissue because tears may naturally roll down from your eyes.

[Movie Review] Angel Has Fallen


Secret Service Agent Mike Banning is framed for the attempted assassination of the President and must evade his own agency and the FBI as he tries to uncover the real threat. 


I've just watched Angel Has Fallen with Trois at GV Plaza.

The show was compact, engaging but somewhat predictable. Initally, the introductory was rather draggy. However, the progression gradually got better with a condicive plot. 

The many intense moment such as the bombing, action-pack and fighting definitely kept me at the edge of the seat. It also reminded me about the importance of kinship and to cherish the people around me. Honestly, this is probably the best instalment among the 3. 

A thriller-action movie that is compact and exciting!

[Toggle Originals] KIKI Drama Review


An autistic animation artist, Jay, falls in love with his own animated character, Kiki, who actually comes to life one day. His obsession with perfecting and keeping her for himself ultimately leads to severe consequences.

Just finished watching KIKI , which was currently aired on Toggle. Personally, I thought the drama was engaging and had a refreshing plot. It had a great progression in each episode, which allow me to ponder and follow closely. If you watched the Korean Drama W - Two Worlds, I believe you will see similarity in its story.

The finale had it's own surprising element which let viewers have their own interpretation. Kudos to Brian Ng for his amazing acting capability. Also, not to miss out Kimberly Chia as she has great improvement protraying her role.

If a tiny little thing can escape something so massive and scary, then there's always a way out. Even when it seems impossible

[Movie Review] Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw


Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America's Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves. Hobbs & Shaw blasts open a new door in the Fast universe as it hurtles action across the globe, from Los Angeles to London and from the toxic wasteland of Chernobyl to the lush beauty of Samoa. 


I've just watched Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw with Ting Feng at GV Plaza.

Personally, I thought that the story was simple and fast-paced. There are many funny and intense moment which kept me at the edge of the seat. A pity that the story lack creativity and was predictable. However, it was well-presented with amazing kick ass fighting and action pack scenes.

The show resembles 痞子英雄:黎明再起 Black And White: The Dawn Of Justice for it's entire plot. It portray the importance of teamwork and educated viewers never to be complacent. Those hilarious conversation are indeed funny as well!

Honestly, the film was rather draggy towards the finale. If you are a fan of the Fast & Furious series, you may also get disappointed with this installment. The story-line is basically different from the previous sequel.
