Summer May Be Glorious, but It’s Brutal on Your Hair. Kiwabi of Japan to the Rescue.
Summer may be glorious, but it’s brutal on one’s hair and scalp. UV rays, chlorine, saltwater, and heat can all leave it dry, faded, brittle, or frizzy, whether it’s color-treated or not. Kiwabi’s clean, Japanese haircare essentials offer an elevated line of UV-protective, damage-defying formulas that keep all hair types looking vibrant, healthy, and glossy in any climate. Kiwabi products protect against sun damage, preserve color, and keep hair shiny and strong all summer long. Here are a few.

Summer Scalp care
Kiwabi, the premium Japanese scalp and hair care brand, is known for merging traditional Japanese botanical ingredients with cutting-edge science. Its latest innovation is Root Beauté Deep Sea Scalp Cleansing Treatment. Powered by non-stripping marine-derived actives and surfactants, this lightweight, pre-shampoo gel deeply purifies the scalp and removes pore-level buildup and environmental residue to restore balance and optimize overall scalp and hair health.
This purifying pre-shampoo gel uses mineral-rich deep ocean water and rare marine botanicals to eliminate stubborn buildup, rebalance the scalp, and elevate one’s entire hair care ritual—revealing visibly stronger, healthier hair from the very first application.
The Deep Sea Scalp Cleansing Treatment is powered by mineral-rich deep sea water sourced from Koshikijima (甑島), a pristine island off Japan’s southern coast, known for its nutrient-dense water with skin-soothing properties. What truly sets this treatment apart is its curated blend of ten marine botanicals, each selected for its unique ability to nourish and restore the scalp’s natural balance. Botanicals include Wakame (わかめ), Mitsuishi Kombu (三石昆布), Susabinori (すさびのり), and Usuba Aonori (薄葉あおのり). The result is a luxurious, sensorial detox experience that leaves the scalp clarified and primed for optimal cleansing, product absorption and hair health.
Much like the concept of double-cleansing in skincare, where an oil-based cleanser dissolves makeup and build-up before a foaming wash finishes the job, this treatment acts as the scalp’s first cleanse. Think of it as the “cleansing gel” step for your scalp, designed to dissolve excess oil, lift impurities, and prepare the scalp for your shampoo (the second step) to effectively wash everything away. Despite the heavy use of dry shampoo, styling products, and exposure to urban pollution, most people don’t think of double-cleansing their scalp—a gap Kiwabi seeks to fill with this targeted solution.
The Root Beauté Deep Sea Scalp Cleansing Treatment is offered in a 90 ml (3.0 fl oz) format and retails for $43.00. Made in Japan, it represents Kiwabi’s commitment to holistic and natural beauty, ritual-driven self-care, and the future of scalp health.
1. Is scalp cleansing necessary?
Yes! When build-up happens, hair follicles become clogged, causing dandruff, oiliness, itchiness, and hair dullness. Buildup can also cause hair thinning, since the hair follicles cannot receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen, hindering their growth.
2. How does the Deep Sea Scalp Cleansing Treatment work?
This pre-wash gel deeply purifies while remaining gentle on the scalp. Infused with nutrient-dense deep sea water from Japan’s remote Koshikijima island, detoxifying sea salt, and a targeted blend of 10 marine botanicals—including Wakame, Mitsuishi Kelp, and Suizenji Nori—it works to lift away excess sebum, debris, and product residue without stripping hydration or disturbing the scalp’s natural balance.
3. How does one use the Deep Sea Scalp Cleansing Treatment?
Apply the Deep Sea Scalp Cleansing Treatment evenly throughout the scalp when hair is dry. Massage the product onto the scalp and wait 5-10 minutes. Proceed directly with your shampoo and conditioner, rinsing thoroughly to reveal your healthiest scalp yet.
