Pick by your scalp condition: oily and flat hair goes to Anti-Oiliness, flaky and itchy scalp to Anti-Dandruff, and a tight, sensitive or stinging scalp to Anti-Discomfort. All three belong to the L’Oréal Professionnel Scalp Advanced range, which the source says is formulated for and recognised by dermatologists, and is a professional salon-standard scalp treatment.
Why does scalp trouble hit Malaysians so often?
Because of the hot, humid weather all year round — sweat, oxidised sebum, clogged pores and daily dust all pile up on the scalp. The source lists the typical situations:
- You shampoo in the morning, but by the afternoon your hair is sticky, oily and flat?
- You wear a dark top and your shoulders are covered in stubborn “white snow” (dandruff)?
- Your scalp feels tight, itches so much you keep scratching, and sometimes stings when you touch it?
1. Anti-Oiliness — oil control for flat, limp hair
Who is it for? Scalps that turn oily fast, hair that is flat and sticks to the scalp, and anyone who uses wax, pomade or hair spray daily.
Key ingredients: Citramine + Vitamin E.
What it does:
- Cleans excess oil straight from the roots with solid sebum control
- Removes styling product residue (wax/gel/spray) and built-up dust without clogging pores
- Washes away mineral deposits from tap water so the scalp feels fresh and can “breathe”
- After drying, the roots feel light and naturally fluffy again — no more limp, oily look
Suggested use: Suitable as a daily shampoo, especially for those who are active outdoors or sweat a lot.

2. Anti-Dandruff — clears “snow” flakes and stops the itch
Who is it for? Anyone with dandruff (fine dry flakes or thick oily dandruff) and a scalp that itches all the time.
Key ingredients: Piroctone Olamine (antibacterial and antifungal active) + Niacinamide + AHA.
What it does:
- Just 1 wash removes up to 100% of visible dandruff (consumer clinical test)
- Anti-dandruff protection that lasts up to 72 hours, so flakes do not come back so fast
- Soothes the itch immediately, leaving the scalp comfortable and fresh
- Light cream texture that cleans dandruff gently without drying out the hair ends
Suggested use: Use 2 to 3 times a week for effective treatment. For thick oily dandruff, the source recommends a clay mask (2-in-1 clay) as a pre-treatment.

3. Anti-Discomfort — the rescue for sensitive, stinging scalps
Who is it for? Scalps that often feel tight, red or sting when you sweat, or feel uncomfortable after colour or rebonding treatments.
Key ingredients: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 to calm the skin) + AHA + Mineral Clay.
What it does:
- Boosts the feeling of relief and comfort by up to 83% in 1 wash
- Increases hair moisture and nutrition by up to +49%, preventing a dry, easily inflamed scalp
- A very light gel texture that cleans gently with no stinging at all
- Rebalances the scalp’s natural moisture to reduce the risk of recurring sensitivity
Suggested use: Very safe for daily washing. For best results, pair it with the Scalp Advanced Anti-Discomfort Soother Treatment for double soothing.

💡 Salon old-timer tip: how to mix them effectively
If your scalp is a mix (for example oily but with dandruff too), do not depend on one bottle of shampoo. The source recommends using them on rotation: two days of Anti-Oiliness to control oil, and one day of Anti-Dandruff to clear the root cause of the flakes.
For salon owners, the range also includes intensive treatment products such as the clay mask and soothing treatment for professional scalp cleansing service packages.
Summary: diagnose first, then pick the right bottle
Oily and flat: Anti-Oiliness. Flaky and itchy: Anti-Dandruff. Sensitive and stinging: Anti-Discomfort. Mixed scalp: rotate them.
