Thoroughly wet the scalp and hair with lukewarm water below 38°C, then carefully rinse before shampooing.
Pre-rinsing helps create a richer lather while reducing friction damage. Washing with hot water may also accelerate color fading.
Dispense an appropriate amount into your palms and lather before applying to the scalp. Work up more foam through the scalp and hair.
Massage gently using the pads of your fingers or a Kenzan scalp brush. Rather than rubbing, move your hands in a way that incorporates air into the foam for a softer, fuller lather.

Recommended amount:

Long hair: 2–3 pumps
Medium-length hair: 1–2 pumps
Short hair: 0.5–1 pump
Once the foam is evenly distributed throughout the scalp and hair, leave it on for 3 minutes as a foam pack.
The foam acts as a cushion, adhering evenly to the hair while repair and moisturizing ingredients penetrate deeply for a smoother finish after shampooing.
Rinse thoroughly after 3 minutes.

At uka salons, we see firsthand how our clients’ hair and scalp become damaged, fatigued, and depleted by a variety of internal and external factors.

Internal Stressors
Stress and nutritional deficiencies
Lifestyle habits
Poor circulation in the scalp and hair
External Stressors
Cuticle damage caused by coloring and perm treatments
Friction from scissors and brushes
Heat damage from dryers and irons
Discoloration and protein damage caused by UV exposure and dryness

Our inspiration came through an encounter with Dr. Sato — an oceanographer and surfer — and the natural landscape of Izu.

For you and for us to adapt, recover, and thrive alongside nature.
For forests, oceans, and the earth itself to regenerate.

We focused on creating products that guide both hair and the natural environment toward gentle, resilient recovery.

In healthy forests filled with filtered sunlight, diverse trees grow in balance. Nutrient-rich humus from these forests flows through rainfall into the ocean, nourishing abundant seaweed growth. However, accelerated monoculture planting has disrupted this balance in many forests, contributing to the desertification of the sea and making it difficult for seaweed to thrive.

Dr. Sato is leading forest restoration initiatives in Shizuoka Prefecture through sustainable forest management and thinning practices. By restoring the vitality of forests, the ocean can also flourish.

uka has begun discussions with Shizuoka Prefecture regarding collaborative regeneration projects. As these initiatives expand, forests regain their strength and the sea becomes abundant once again.

This vision comes from a desire to create more beauty and joy — for you, for us, and for the planet.
