NatureLab.TOKYO Perfect Clean Scalp Scrub - Sakura Scent, 8.1 oz

I absolutely loveee this scalp scrub! Been using it since 2020 and I’ve yet to find anything better. I love the consistency of the product and the rich lather it produces. The scent is also great. It smells fresh annd clean, although it might be too much for people that are scent sensitive. I read someone complaining of the texture and saying it was hard to work through the hair; you are supposed to put some in your hand, add some water and rub between your hands forming a rich lather, then work through your scalp. It removes buildup. My scalp and hair feel clean without feeling dry and my scalp is healthier since I’ve been using it. Hair is fresh and has volume after styling and my hair products seem to work better after use. The price is also great compared to other scrubs. The product has a good amount. A little goes a long way so this lasts me about a year.

Update: changed from 4 stars to 5 stars after buying the new Yuzu/Lemon scent. I hated the musk in the original scent. The yuzu/lemon smells just like you’d think. Very nice, clean and fresh, in my opinion the lemon isn’t too sharp either. I’ll have to try the cherry blossom next. Formula is identical to the original. Add a splash of water after applying to really get the lather going and spread the product. This stuff gets rid of all my dry shampoo and hairspray buildup. Gets my scalp super clean and makes my hair really shiny. Very good clarifying shampoo and scalp scrub. 10/10. My last little tub of this stuff lasted about 5-6 months too. You don’t need much unless you want more salt crystals for more exfoliating. You get your moneys worth. OP: Product worked good but it was sort of concentrated and pasty. It was difficult to spread thru my scalp and scrub, I found that the trick is to put it on your scalp and also add a splash of more water to help spread it and begin the lather, especially if you have super thick hair like mine. It doesn’t take much product once you add the water and really activate it. I also don’t like musk scents, so personally I wasn’t loving the smell but I can deal with it. Don’t think I’d purchase this scent again, they have another one I’ll try that hopefully isn’t musk based. The key for me was definitely adding a dash of water to start the lather after putting it on my scalp. It lathers a lot. I knocked off one star solely because of the scent.

Wife's review - Having some recent hair loss, fine hair but full. Hard water with a softener treatment system new to us. Spoke to stylist during recent cut and she used "scalp cleansing" shampoo. Gently massage into scalp & through all your hair. Felt great but heavy on condition side made it flat. They also didn't sell the product at her salon - commercial beauty supply. Checked here and looked close over a few products. Saw this after reading all prior products scrolling. Bingo! I have fine hair. Stylist said only use scalp cleansing shampoo with exfoliant 1 time a week. When I initially opened it smells so good. Light floral not sweet overload heavy scent. She instructed small dab about size of nickel to start. It was actually all I needed due to the water softener & suds up well. Worked through scalp & all through my hair. The sugar exfoliating pieces are slightly larger than the product she used ( fine ground) but these exfoliating sugar pieces do a great job. Using styling products the soft water wasn't getting all the root lift, hair spray out of scalp or hair. I was amazed it was shiny the first use. Truly works great. Keeps scalp and hair clean,fresh feeling & free from product buildup and frees follicles being clogged from occasionally using multiple hair products keeping skin cells from washing away ( yucky) . This "scalp cleansing" shampoo truly works wonders. Love using it and just letting it air dry. Feels great. Shiny. One time a week. Life saver. Even 2-3 days after using it when regular shampoo, styling products, hair dryer & set spray my scalp feels great and my hair stays shiny. Buy it.

This does a great job of making my scalp feel really clean and refreshed, especially when I feel like I have buildup. My main issue is that I have to use a fairly generous amount to actually distribute it across my scalp, so the 8.1 oz container doesn't last as long as I would expect for the price. One other warning: be very careful about getting this in your eyes. I accidentally did once while rinsing and it burned significantly more than most shampoos I've used. Overall, I really like how clean my scalp feels afterward and would use it again, but I took off a star because of how quickly I go through the container.

I started using this scalp scrub because regular shampoo never fully removed buildup, and I could feel my hair getting weighed down. This product made a difference on the first use. The texture is gentle but effective, and the micro exfoliating beads melt in easily without feeling scratchy. It creates a soft lather that reaches the scalp instead of just sitting in the hair, which is something most scrubs fail at. The cooling sensation is one of my favorite parts. It leaves your scalp feeling fresh, almost like you just stepped out of a salon. After rinsing, my hair feels lighter, cleaner, and more lifted at the roots. I noticed less oil by day two which never happens for me. The scent is clean and spa-like without being overwhelming. What stands out: • Removes product buildup without stripping natural oils. • Leaves the scalp calm and soothed. • Adds volume at the roots. • Rinses out easily with no residue left behind. If your hair feels flat or your scalp gets oily or itchy from product buildup, this scrub is absolutely worth adding to your routine. It has become a weekly must for me.

I'm bald so I exfoliate before shaving my head and this stuff felt great and my scalp felt extra clean before shaving. After, I did it again and my head felt smooth like silk with any additional moisturizers or lotions.

So I have diagnosed MDD, which means that during depressive episodes that last weeks to months, taking care of my hair becomes difficult. I have wavy curly hair, and my scale often becomes oily and gets a bit of build up. Ive tried clarifying shampoos before but I felt like I wanted a scrub scrub for my specific situation. - This foams VERY well and a little does truly go a long way but you need your hair to be VERY wet to properly massage the grit into the scalp comfortably - The grit does actually exfoliate the scalp more than just a simple clarifying shampoo would. - The grit is easy to wash out and doesnt take much if any extra work to wash out of your hair - HOWEVER The clarifying part truly does strip ALL oil, so the hair becomes quite dry (?hard to work with, not soft, lots of friction) despite being wet. I use Skala Donna instead of traditional conditioner, so I just put a little on my hands and ran it through the scalp parts of my hair to rehydrate the hair. I typically dont use conditioner on the scalp because mine gets oily and so for me its not good. Overall I really like this. I would probably use it once a month during depressive episodes, but up to twice a month for normal use because of how clarifying it is. If you get build up or oil less often, maybe once or twice ever 2 to 3 months.

I love this shampoo! It's helped my scalp and in turn my hair. My hair has gone from overly greasy to clean and healthy for longer, which has turned into more volume. It's a little more pricey than I'd normally spend but it's well worth the money. I've already bought a second jar so I don't run out.

Came well, on time, completely brand new and the product is good to clean scalp too

Nice product, good texture & cleaned my scalp & hair well. Section long hair for best results so you can massage your scalp easily. Will purchase again.

It is perfect. Smells so good, deep cleansing and reasonable price

Love this stuff, makes my thick hair and scalp feel great.

This is fabulous. Have been using for over 6 months and the condition of my scalp is excellent. My hair has also thickened where it was thinning.
