This wasย 500 JPYย well spent; the Successย Scalp Washing Brushย (also called Success Scalpย Massaging Shampoo Brush) is perhaps the most instantlyย gratifyingย beautyย toolย I have bought in a long while. A stiff TPE (rubber) bristle brush with different texturedย nodules that you massage over your scalpย as you wash your hair, it requires no extra effort yet has the satisfying effect of deep cleansing scalp treatment. When you think about how little attention you usually pay to your scalp even though thatโs where healthy hair startsโฆ. well. If you have thinningย hair, scalp problems, or head of hair you want to keep in good condition then this is one tool I can highly recommend.
Iโve tried a number ofย scalp massaging brushes now, and I found none to feel quite as stimulating and invigorating as this one that is made for men. The key here, I feel, is the textured bristle tipsโ the three-pronged tips sweep away build-up while the large rounded tips and mini nodules really stimulate blood flow. The brush also has a slightly domedย shape that fits the curve of your scalp so that those super bristles can reach better and closer to your scalp.ย Thereโs no rough edges or seams that would snag or pull out hair.
The brush is lightweight, but with a very sturdy (Japan-made) construction. Iโve accidentally dropped it on marble floor from 167cm in the air more times than Iโd care to count, but it still looks brand new. Pretty impressive considering the handles of my generic scalp brushes from the 100-yen shops all cracked or brokeย on contact when dropped! Thereโs also no holes, crevices, or loose parts that can trap moisture and eventually leading to mould and mildew either. (Just always store it with the bristle-side up to encourage airflow.)
Iย use and prefer theย normal type brush, but a soft typeย is also available (comes in light blue) if you prefer softer, flexible bristles. Itโs available on Amazon.comย for US$8.49+ or US$11.90 onย YesStyle.
nice..thanks ๐
Where in Japan is this sold. Iโll be there for the next 3 weeks.
Most drugstores.
Not true..I went to a lot of drugstores in Tokyo..they dun carry it.however 1 drugstore in akibahara carries the guy versionโฆis kao merit shampoo brush is as good?
It was everywhere when I got mine, but unfortunately, drugstores (and convenience store) in Japan change their products very quickly. Product cycle in major stores is generally once every 2 weeks.
I feel the Merit one is better for sensitive scalp.
๐ฎ I will give this a look! What great timing too as I was relooking at my own hair care routine
Still speaking about haircare, do you know anything about COTAยดs reputation? They are the only company in the world which offers a shampoo exactly with the ingredients that I want and exactly with the ones I donยดt want to (itยดs serious LOL), but I donยดt know anything about this company and is a bit odd buying something from a company that you donยดt know anything aboutโฆ According to their site, they seem be very trustworthy, but before Iยดd like to read your opinion about COTA.
I think good overall. They sell salon-exclusive hair products that are used in lots of midrange salons โ quite a small company, but most salon-exclusive Japanese hair product companies are.
I am going somewhat off topic, but can you tell me the INCI for that ingredient called ่่ช้ ธ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผใขใทใซใขในใใฉใฎใณ้ ธ๏ผฎ๏ฝๆถฒ? Does it appear to have โsulfateโ (sulfated surfactants)? TKS.

Itโs sodium lauroyl/myristoyl aspartate. I just quickly skimmed through the list, it looks to be sulfate-free.
Hi,
Just wondered if you could help me. Iโm trying to buy this on Rakuten,but Iโm having huge communication problems. They said theyโd send me the delivery fee for my confirmation, but that doesnโt seem to have happened. I prefer to know first and to buy maximum items for the delivery fee. They said it has been dispatched. I canโt see any evidence in my account that Iโve been charged at all yet. Is this common?
Is there any advice for buying on Rakuten. I do love Japanese skincare and products. Thanks.
Rakuten is a shopping mall, an online Japanese one. It operates exactly like any physical shopping malls โ it houses individual stores and the mall management doesnโt take any responsibilities for the stores within.
Shipping, prices, etc. depends on the actual store in questions, but EMS is the default international shipping method used as it is the safest and fastest. Some stores do ship by other methods if requested.
If you havenโt received a specific email, Iโd check your junk folder. You can always contact the store in question as well โ using very simple English is best. I canโt offer much advice as 1) I personally shop from Rakutenโs Japanese site not their global market site 2) I communicate in Japanese 3) I donโt need international shipping.
wow I was looking at this a few years back and I think you just gave me the final incentive to buy it!! Maybe Iโll get two and use one on each side!
