Let's take care of our scalp regardless of age.

Scalp care refers to providing care tailored to the condition of your scalp. While "hair care," which addresses the hair itself, is important, the face and scalp are connected by a single layer of skin. Just as you take care of your face with skincare, "scalp care" is equally important.

The important thing is to replenish and retain the oil and moisture in your scalp to keep it sufficiently hydrated. If you feel that your hair is losing its firmness and body, or that your scalp is still greasy even after washing, choose products that address your specific scalp concerns and incorporate scalp care into your routine regardless of age.

Tips for keeping your scalp and hair healthy

Review your daily routine.
Scalp care, or keeping your scalp healthy, is said to require three elements: sleep, nutrition, and self-massage. High-quality sleep, a balanced diet, and self-massage all contribute to a healthy scalp. If you're experiencing hair problems, start by reviewing your daily lifestyle.

・Adopt the correct care methods . If you're just doing your hair care haphazardly, you might be leaving residue behind, or conversely, washing too much, or your scalp might be getting stiff...? We've put together detailed articles and videos introducing the correct care methods and recommended products, so please take a look.

Care methods by concern

Stickiness and odor

- Thoroughly pre-wash your hair before shampooing.
If wax or hairspray remains after shampooing, it can cause scalp odor due to sebum buildup, so make sure to rinse thoroughly. Before shampooing, thoroughly wet both your hair and scalp with lukewarm water, pre-wash for about 30 seconds while gently massaging your scalp, and then shampoo using the pads of your fingers, being careful not to rub your scalp too hard.

If you try to thoroughly wash your hair and scalp by scrubbing vigorously with your fingers or nails, you may end up damaging your scalp.

Use an odor-controlling spray.
Even if your hair feels fine right after shampooing, you might notice an unpleasant odor later... In such cases, add an extra step of care with a scalp tonic or spray after shampooing or before going out.

Dandruff and itchiness caused by dryness

If you're experiencing dandruff or itchiness due to dryness, try changing your skincare routine.

Use a mild shampoo.
Choose a shampoo and conditioner that cleanse gently. Rinse with lukewarm water. It's important to avoid irritating your hair.

・ Moisturize thoroughly
Your skin needs care to protect it from dryness caused by UV rays and cold air. After shampooing, moisturize with a tonic.

・Re-evaluate your lifestyle
Reviewing your lifestyle habits, such as an unbalanced diet and lack of sleep, is also necessary to maintain healthy hair and scalp.

Hair firmness and elasticity care

It's best to enjoy the daily care routine.

Medicated (quasi-drug) tonics should be applied with a gentle massage. Using them in combination with medicated (quasi-drug) shampoos and conditioners is also recommended.


Using a shampoo brush is recommended because it allows you to "wash" and "massage" your scalp at the same time. Brushes that can be used for both "styling" and "massage" are also recommended. Since the face and scalp are connected, scalp care is important from a skincare perspective as well.

Using computers and smartphones, in particular, can cause the scalp to become stiff. Brush your hair thoroughly from the hairline, making sure to brush your entire scalp evenly.
