Get Beautiful Hair! Scalp Care to Boost the Effects of Organic Shampoo

The summer heat has eased, and evenings now carry a cool, refreshing breeze. It's a comfortable season to enjoy, but autumn is also when the damage from summer starts to show. Things like hair shedding and dryness — you might be surprised by how much hair comes out while shampooing or drying, or notice your ends feeling rough and damaged. Why not revisit the one scalp-care step that's closest to home: shampooing?

Three Shampoo Techniques for Beautifully Shiny Hair

STEP 1: A Quick Rinse Isn't Enough — Pre-Rinse Thoroughly

Since we call it "washing your hair," it's easy to assume shampoo is what removes dirt from your hair. But in reality, most of that dirt needs to be rinsed away before you even apply shampoo. That step is the "pre-rinse." Don't just wet your hair — rinse it thoroughly and completely with warm water first.

STEP 2: Shampoo Is for Washing the Scalp — Take Your Time and Massage Gently

Take an appropriate amount of shampoo, add a little warm water, and work it into a rich lather. Once it's foamy, wash by gently massaging your scalp rather than rubbing your hair. The key is to move the scalp itself as you wash. This helps improve circulation and supports healthy hair growth. The scalp tends to get tense from things like eye strain from phones and tablets, or everyday interpersonal stress. Take your time, relax, and gently work out that tension.

STEP 3: Towel-Dry by Gently Patting, Not Rubbing

The surface of wet hair is especially prone to cuticle damage. Instead of rubbing hard with a towel, dry it by patting gently. When using a blow dryer, finishing with a blast of cool air can help boost shine.

Bring an Organic Mindset to Choosing Your Shampoo, Too

Scent, how it feels while washing, silicone-free, botanical — what matters most to you when choosing a shampoo? KOTOSHINA's shampoo is formulated with organic green tea leaf extract and precious tea seed oil. Its plant-derived moisturizing ingredients gently remove excess oil while leaving the scalp feeling soft and hydrated, which is why so many customers keep coming back, citing a cleaner-feeling scalp, fuller-looking volume, and shinier hair. Its natural, gentle green tea scent is also loved across genders for how relaxing it feels. Certified organic by COSMEBIO, and silicone-free, botanical, and organic all in one, it's a shampoo that's gentle on the body and the planet — safe for the whole family to enjoy with peace of mind. The shampoo comes in two sizes, 200mL and 500mL, while the treatment is available only in 200mL. The 200mL size is compact and easy to bring along to the gym or on trips.

  • Shampoo Relax & Treatment Relax Set

    Regular price ¥6,600 (tax included)

The 500mL size is a family-friendly option that's perfect for the bathroom.

  • Shampoo Big Bottle Kit

    Regular price ¥10,560 (tax included)

Since it's suited to any gender or age, pairing it with the conditioner makes a lovely gift for someone you're grateful to. That said, why not start by treating yourself first? Give your scalp some care this autumn, on those long, cool evenings.
