About T·Lab
Who’s behind the formulation of the products?
Our Hair Tonic was formulated in collaboration with Assoc. Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Rosnani Hasham, Director of the Institute of Bioproduct Development at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). It uses caffeine upcycled from spent coffee grounds, from research carried out at UTM. The Hair Serum and Anti-Hairfall Shampoo complete the T·Lab range, and every product is made in Malaysia.

Are your products tested for safety and quality?
Yes. Every T·Lab product goes through quality control before it’s sold and is notified with the Ministry of Health Malaysia (KKM). You’ll find each product’s KKM notification number on its product page. The coffee extract in our Hair Tonic was also safety-tested in UTM’s lab.
What hair types are your products suitable for?
Our haircare products are suitable for all hair types, including straight, wavy, curly, dry and chemically treated hair. They’re gentle enough for everyday use. If you have a sensitive scalp, we recommend a quick patch test before your first use.
Choosing your products
Do your products help with hair fall?
Yes, that’s what our Hair Tonic is made for. Used daily on the scalp, it helps reduce hair fall from breakage and leaves your hair feeling stronger. Most of our customers notice less hair fall after 2–4 weeks of daily use. Everyone’s hair is different, so results vary.
Which product should I start with?
We recommend starting with the Hair Tonic, since it’s the one made for hair fall. For a complete routine, wash with the Anti-Hairfall Shampoo, spray the Hair Tonic on your scalp, then smooth the Hair Serum on your ends. Our combos bundle these together at a lower price.
What is the difference between Hair Gloss and Hair Serum?
Our Hair Serum is a light leave-on for your ends. It tames frizz, adds shine and protects your hair from heat styling. Our Hair Gloss, coming soon, is a conditioning treatment that smooths the hair and gives it a glossy finish.
Do your products help improve hair shine naturally?
Yes. Our Hair Serum smooths the outer layer of each strand and helps lock in moisture, so your hair looks shinier and softer from the very first use.
Using our products
How do I use the Hair Tonic?
Spray it directly onto a dry or towel-dried scalp along your partings, then massage gently for about a minute. There’s no need to rinse. For the best results, use it every day.
How long before I see results?
Most of our customers notice less hair fall after 2–4 weeks of using the Hair Tonic every day, and their hair feels stronger the longer they use it. Everyone’s hair is different, so results vary from person to person.
I wear a helmet or songkok all day. Is that OK?
Yes. The Hair Tonic is light and dries in a few minutes, so it won’t feel oily under a helmet, songkok or cap. Spray it after your shower or at night and let it dry before you cover up.
I wear a tudung. Can I use your products?
Of course. Our Hair Tonic is light, dries quickly and doesn’t leave your hair oily. Just let it dry for a few minutes before you put on your tudung.
Can I use your products on coloured or rebonded hair?
Yes. Our products are gentle on chemically treated hair. If you’ve just had a colour or rebonding treatment, we recommend a quick patch test before your first use.
Why does the Hair Tonic tingle?
That cooling feeling comes from menthol, and it fades after a few minutes. If it ever burns or feels uncomfortable, rinse it off and stop using it.
Can I use your products while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend checking with your doctor before using any new scalp product while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
