On the 100-acre farm I grew up on in Australia, the main water source was a tank that collected rainwater. Beside our water tank stood a giant gum tree (eucalyptus tree). Despite the tank being sealed, gum tree leaves somehow always found their way inside.
This meant that for a huge part of my youth, I was washing my hair with eucalyptus-infused water. The antioxidant and hydrating benefits of eucalyptus are extensive, and so naturally, my hair thrived. After moving to Tokyo and experiencing city water for the first time, I started to develop flakiness and oiliness of the scalp — and (the dreaded) flat hair.
I was relieved to find that Tokyo’s hair world is armed with many unique products and solutions designed to keep your hair healthy and dandruff-free. Now that summer is in full swing, let’s explore the various Japanese options available to help you maintain a healthy scalp. Head Spa Have you ever looked at your scalp under a microscope?

I first heard about head spas from an ASMR YouTube video in 2020. YouTuber ASMR Twix has propelled Japanese head spas to fame, accumulating over 200 million views in head spa content. Recently, Twix opened her own ASMR head spa store in Tokyo using extensive knowledge acquired from past head spa experiences to offer luxurious custom hair treatments and courses designed for all hair types.
Being a longtime fan, I decided to visit ASMR Twix Tokyo Head Spa . Walkin.
