It felt like a no-win situation.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d read that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sachajuan-scalp-scrub\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sachajuan-scalp-scrub\/\">scalp scrubs<\/a> could be the solution, so I tried several\u2014but with moderate success. Although they <em>did <\/em>help a bit with itching and flaking, it felt like my hair became oilier more quickly and (despite plenty of rinsing) it seemed almost impossible to get rid of all the gritty scrub particles.<\/p>\n<p>One day, I had a lightbulb moment. I am a total devotee of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/japanese-skin-care-essentials-tatcha-victoria-tsai\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/japanese-skin-care-essentials-tatcha-victoria-tsai\/\">Japanese skin care<\/a> thanks to the wonders certain J-beauty products have worked on my complexion, so I figured, \u201cWhy not give some Japanese hair-care products a try?\u201d After researching several brands online, I took a punt and ordered <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FNatureLab-Tokyo-Perfect-Shine-Clarifying%2Fdp%2FB07TSQC9HJ%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx10030-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fnaturelab-tokyo-scalp-scrub%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fnaturelab-tokyo-scalp-scrub%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NatureLab-Tokyo-Perfect-Shine-Clarifying\/dp\/B07TSQC9HJ\">NatureLab Tokyo&#8217;s Perfect Shine Clarifying Scalp Scrub<\/a> ($19). Six months on, I can\u2019t believe I ever lived without it.<\/p>\n<h2>The product<\/h2>\n<p>We use products to exfoliate our face and body, and scalp scrubs are designed to do precisely the same. \u201c[They] gently exfoliate the scalp and remove buildup of dead skin cells and product,\u201d says board-certified cosmetic dermatologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michelegreenmd.com\/medical\/alopecia-hair-loss-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.michelegreenmd.com\/medical\/alopecia-hair-loss-treatment\">Michele Green, MD<\/a>, explaining that this process comes along with a host of benefits. \u201cExfoliating the scalp helps stimulate skin cell turnover, maintaining scalp health and freeing the hair follicles of debris,\u201d she adds. As a result, scrubbing your scalp also aid in reducing flaking and itching.<\/p>\n<p>However (as I previously discovered), not all scalp scrubs are made equal\u2014and one thing that ensures this NatureLab Tokyo product stands out is its ingredients. First, we have beauty experts\u2019 favorite, hyaluronic acid. This molecule holds up to 1000 times its weight in water, and your scalp loves hydration just as much as your face. \u201cDelivering moisture to the scalp helps maintain its natural protective barrier, protecting the scalp and hair follicles from environmental stressors like pollution,\u201d says Dr. Green.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/naturelab-tokyo-scalp-scrub\/\" current-title=\"This Dermatologist-Approved Scrub Transformed My Fine Hair and Flaky Scalp\u2014And It\u2019s Under $20\" current-image=\"GettyImages-541271164-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-11-12\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/naturelab-tokyo-scalp-scrub\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/naturelab-tokyo-scalp-scrub\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/naturelab-tokyo-scalp-scrub\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Next up is a traditional Japanese ingredient: sake water. While sake is better known as a tipple, this rice by-product contains plenty for the scalp to love. \u201cSake water is a good antioxidant that protects the scalp from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays,\u201d says Dr. Green. \u201cIt also has many amino acids that support hydration and lock in moisture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least is a plethora of natural plant extracts. A key one here is grapeseed\u2014which, according to Dr. Green, supports hair health and strength and encourages a silky shine. There\u2019s also mango (\u201crich in fatty acids for hydration and nourishment\u201d), tea tree oil (to \u201csoothe the scalp and reduce dandruff and irritation\u201d), and willow bark (which \u201chelps facilitate exfoliation\u201d).<\/p>\n<h2>The review<\/h2>\n<p>While my locks are sadly still not *quite* in the Jen Aniston realm, I\u2019m not lying when I say this scalp scrub has transformed my hair. I can run my fingers over my scalp without feeling dry patches, itching and flaking have 99% disappeared, and my fine strands feel soft and look thick and flowing (even after being laid on overnight). Since using the scrub, my hair has also become much less greasy\u2014and can now last three days between washes, something that was previously unheard of.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that struck me when using the scrub for the first time was its texture. The product has a sugar crystal base, meaning it feels exactly like that: a thick sugary paste. As I scooped about two dollar coins worth of scrub from the tub, I thought there was no way it would lather up (the product also doubles as a shampoo) and disperse to cover my entire scalp. But I was wrong! I rubbed it between my fingers, then started massaging my scalp in circular motions. It began lathering within a few seconds, and soon my head was covered in a light foam. I have fine, shoulder-length hair and imagine you\u2019d need a bit more if your hair is thicker\u2014but a little of this scrub really does go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>While the sugar crystals\u2019 rough texture makes it a great exfoliator, these little granules dissolve after getting to work\u2014meaning the scrub is easy to wash out, and I don\u2019t encounter stray gritty bits when running my fingers through my hair later on. I also adore the smell: it\u2019s a subtle almond scent that gives off more spa vibes than at-home shower.<\/p>\n<p>In case you hadn\u2019t guessed, I won\u2019t be ditching my new BFF any time soon. Its shampooing powers make it a great multitasker (although I do follow up with my usual conditioner), and my scalp and hair are the happiest they\u2019ve been in ages. At under $20, a pot of this scrub is more than worthy of your hard-earned dime.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
