生姜、人参、何首乌、迷迭香、侧柏叶。每一味你都能在中药铺买到，也讲得出它是什么。这是刻意的。Ginger, ginseng, he shou wu, rosemary, cypress leaf. Every one of them is something you could buy at a herbal shop and could describe to your mother. That is deliberate.
强根健发。用起来有温热感，按摩时最明显。Strengthens the root. You’ll feel the warmth while massaging.
中药铺里最常见的那味，姜辣素带来的温热感就是它在头皮上的存在感。护理里是最有感的一味。The herbal-shop staple. That warm tingle is the gingerol making itself known on your scalp — the one you actually feel during a treatment.
滋养发根。温和，适合长期用。Root nourishment, gentle enough for long-term use.
温和路线，适合长期用。跟生姜相反，它不给你刺激感，所以敏感头皮也吃得下。The quiet one. Unlike ginger it gives you nothing to feel, which is exactly why a reactive scalp can take it long-term.
乌黑亮泽，顾的是还有颜色的那些发丝。Depth and shine — for the hair that still has pigment.
华人讲头发一定会提到的一味。护理里用它顾发丝的光泽和状态。The one every Chinese household names when hair comes up. In the treatment it is there for shine and hair condition.
控油舒缓。出油型头皮的常客。Balances oil and calms. The oily-scalp regular.
这几年被讲得很多的一味，用在控油和舒缓上，配出油又敏感那种难搞的头皮。The one that has had a lot of attention lately, used here for oil balance and calming — for the awkward scalp that is oily and reactive at once.
滋养头皮，中药铺里那味，用在洗护上。Scalp nourishment — the herbal-shop staple, put to work in a wash.
传统上就是拿来顾头发的一味，气味偏草本。Traditionally a hair herb, with a green, herbal smell.
草本是头皮保养的一部分，而头皮保养又只是头发状况的一部分——遗传、荷尔蒙、睡眠、铁质、压力全都有关系。Herbs are one part of scalp care, and scalp care is one part of why hair behaves the way it does — genetics, hormones, sleep, iron levels and stress are all in there too.
它们每天在做的事：把毛囊口保持通畅、把出油控制在合理范围、让爱反应的头皮安静下来、让正在长的头发状态好一点。What they do day to day: keep the follicle openings clear, keep oil in a reasonable range, calm a scalp that overreacts, and keep the hair that is growing in good condition.
突然一块一块掉的圆形脱发（鬼剃头）是另一回事，请先看医生。Sudden round patches of hair loss (alopecia areata) are a different matter — see a doctor first.
