The Japanese are the best students when it comes to beauty and are always one step ahead. If we’re just starting to normalise the use of a massaging brush in hair washing here, you best believe they’ve been doing it twice as much already. This was explained to us by stylist Maria Roberts, founder of the Madart x Studio 25 Hair Spa, where they work with René Furterer products (the brand that invented pre-shampoo treatments 60 years ago).
Roberts, who spent several weeks training in Japan before opening her spa in Quijorna, discovered, among other things, that hair washing there is a very focused scalp care ritual. And precisely for that reason, they use two silicone massaging brushes: one on each side of the head to emphasise the massage process that helps cleanse in depth and activate blood circulation.
“The best way to do a scalp massage is to start at the back of the head, going upwards, always focusing on the crown of the head, which is where there are more nerve endings,” he explains. By doing it with two brushes while applying the shampoo, the effects of the massage are enhanced and all parts of the scalp are reached. “This method”, says Roberts, “Not only stimulates growth, but also relieves tension on the scalp (try massaging it when you’re nervous, it works) and your scalp is much cleaner.”
