What Matters Most in Scalp & Hair Conditioning Treatment / International Hairdresser TAKA
Introduction
Do you think of “scalp care” and “hair care” as separate things?
To grow healthy hair, a healthy scalp is absolutely essential.
Even if your hair looks beautiful, if the scalp—the foundation—is unhealthy, that beauty will be only temporary.
Furthermore, good blood circulation is key to maintaining scalp health.
For blood to flow properly to the hair roots, your overall physical health and daily habits also play a role.
Scalp issues may not be life-threatening, but they can progress silently, much like a disease.
That’s why, from a beauty perspective as well, I believe that “prevention” is extremely important.
With that in mind, let me share the key points I focus on in my “scalp & hair treatment” at Hairdresser TAKA.
1. Balancing Both Scalp and Hair
If you only treat the hair, it won’t mean much if the scalp is unhealthy.
On the flip side, just caring for the scalp won’t make damaged hair look beautiful.
That’s why I always aim to improve scalp circulation first, then apply treatments that address both scalp and hair health.
- Preventing hair loss and graying
- Removing excess buildup to improve texture and feel
- Products that are safe even for people with allergies
I tailor the approach based on what each client needs.
2. Visualizing with a 200x Microscope
Using a 200x microscope, I examine your scalp condition together with you.
- Signs of poor blood flow
- Indications of dryness or inflammation
- Clogged pores
Rather than going by vague feelings, I believe in offering care you can clearly see and understand.
3. Rooted in Eastern Medicine
My scalp and hair treatments are based on principles of Eastern medicine.
They emphasize “blood circulation” and “overall body balance,” and regard hair as the “surplus of blood (Xueyu).”
In other words, better circulation leads to better hair quality.
That’s why I don’t just treat your hair, but also support your lifestyle by offering:
- Advice on diet and sleep
- Suggestions for stress management
It’s not about a quick fix —
I aim to nurture your “future scalp and hair” through holistic care.
4. Daily Care Matters More Than the Salon
Healthy habits are the key to preventing illness —
and the same applies to your scalp and hair.
Proper care at home can sometimes have a greater effect than treatments at the salon.
For example:
- How you use shampoo and conditioner
- Water temperature
- How thoroughly you rinse your hair
None of these are particularly special — they’re simple steps.
But doing the “ordinary things” correctly every day is actually quite difficult.
That’s why the condition of your scalp and hair directly reflects whether your daily care is on point.
Even if you get an excellent treatment at the salon, neglecting your daily care will undo the results quickly.
Small, consistent habits at home have a far bigger impact.
To help maintain the condition of your scalp and hair after your visit,
I provide take-home Herb Magic Soap (14-day or 28-day supply).
This helps ensure the treatment’s effects last.
In Closing
When your body and scalp are healthy, you gain so many hairstyle options.
That means you can choose a look that truly suits you.
To achieve that, you need to maintain healthy habits.
At the core of everything, the essence is always simple.
As a hairdresser, I want to go beyond just styling hair —
I aim to offer total support that includes your hair, scalp, body, and even your mind.
Small acts of care add up to a better future for your hair.
When your hair changes, your mood changes too.
Let’s build those small changes, step by step.
