How soon can I see results with SHOKAIGAN?

Noticeable results with SHOKAIGAN typically appear after about three months, as this aligns with the natural 90-day cycle required to replace shed hair. While fuller and softer hair can be felt in as little as 2 weeks, covering problem areas with new growth generally takes six to eight months depending on the severity of the condition.

Should I stop using SHOKAIGAN after achieving my desired results?

No, you should continue using SHOKAIGAN because hair growth is an ongoing cycle that requires maintenance to prevent hair loss from reoccurring. Regular use prolongs the growing phase (anagen) and encourages the hair renewal process to keep the scalp healthy.

How often should I use SHOKAIGAN?

It is advisable to wash your hair daily with SHOKAIGAN Intensive Scalp Therapy Shampoo and apply the SHOKAIGAN Intensive Hair Growth Tonic twice every day.

What else can I do for better results?

Perform a 3-minute scalp massage during the application of the shampoo and tonic to improve circulation and aid deeper penetration of active ingredients. Massaging the scalp increases the supply of nutrients to the follicles and helps activate the formula's superior regenerative properties.

Is SHOKAIGAN shampoo suitable for coloured or chemically treated hair?

Yes, SHOKAIGAN Intensive Scalp Therapy Shampoo is suitable for chemically treated hair because it contains a blend of 10 key amino acids, including Betaine. Betaine specifically helps maintain and enhance the elasticity of treated hair, leaving it smooth, moist, and full of body.

Is it best to use the shampoo and tonic together?

Yes, using the shampoo and tonic together provides a reinforced two-step system where the shampoo deep-cleanses follicles and balances pH, allowing the tonic to penetrate deeper. The shampoo is perfectly suited for the hair's natural pH level of 4.5 to 5.5, ensuring optimal regeneration from the follicles without stripping natural oils.

Is SHOKAIGAN suitable for both men and women?

Yes, SHOKAIGAN is suitable for both men and women as it contains Swertia Japonica extract to block Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for discouraging hair growth. DHT causes thinning in men starting from puberty and in women as estrogen levels dip during menopause; SHOKAIGAN helps balance these effects for both genders.

Why is the tonic classified as a quasi-drug in Japan?

The tonic is classified as a quasi-drug because it contains effective key ingredients that exert mild, beneficial actions on the body as regulated under Japan's Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. Key ingredients like Sage, Yarrow, and Swertia Japonica are scientifically recognized for boosting micro-circulation and reducing hair loss.

Are there any side effects?

SHOKAIGAN is 100% safe and has no known side effects, as it is formulated from an all-natural blend of powerful botanicals.

Is SHOKAIGAN suitable for those with dandruff, flaking, or an itchy scalp?

Yes, SHOKAIGAN is ideal for dandruff and inflammation because it contains Sage Leaf extract, which provides strong antibacterial properties to combat fungus and reduce itchiness. The shampoo also restores the scalp's optimum pH level of 4.5 to 5.5, which prevents the growth of fungi like pityrosporum ovale and reduces sebum-fueled irritation.

My scalp is no longer red and over-sensitive!

Leah Goh, 37

“I used to have an extremely oily and sensitive scalp. Through a recommendation, I started using SHOKAIGAN Intensive Hair Growth Tonic. After using the tonic consistently every day for two months now, I am happy that my scalp is no longer red and over-sensitive. I have since witnessed more hair growth – my hair feels and looks much thicker now!”

Hope for hair

Tashiko Asahi, Kyoto

Like many Japanese women, I take pride in my appearance, checking that I look well-groomed and presentable before stepping out of the house - hair in place and a bit of make-up on. A women's hair is indeed her crowning glory and having a trick, full head of hair is definitely something to be proud of.

However, along with the irritability and hot flushes that come with menopause, I was saddened to note that I was also losing more hair than usual - after a shower, the drainage area would be clogged with hair. After a while, I was shocked to discover that at certain angles; you could even see my scalp and some sparse patches. Losing my hair greatly affected my self-confidence and after a while, I began to avoid mirrors because they proved too depressing. To cope with the loss of hair, I took to wearing a hairpiece or hat to cover up the balding areas and help my hair look fuller.

The turning point came when I was at a tea gathering. After taking off my hat, my friend's young daughter stared curiously and innocently asked,"Auntie Tashiko, why do you have so little hair?" That was when I knew I had to do something about my problem.

Over the years, I've tried many hair treatment products. Unfortunately, none of them were able to improve my condition. Worse, some of the treatments even dried out my hair. I tried to put my hair loss problem down to a natural condition that came with age, but it was hard when friends my age or a few years older were sporting thick full heads.

Sharing my hair loss woes with my good friend, she let me in on her secret: SHOKAIGAN Intensive Shampoo and Tonic. Like me, she once experienced thinning hair - losing many precious strands each time she brushed her hair or after a shampoo. Using the products together and faithfully massaging her scalp with the tonic twice a day helped encourage new hair growth, reduce hair fall and even improve the texture of her hair. As skeptical as I was, I had to try it out for myself and I'm glad I did!

The shampoo leaves a nice refreshing sensation after rinsing out, and I was amazed how it left my hair feeling silky smooth - all without which is very welcome during hot summer months, where temperatures in Kyoto can be as high as 39°C!

A few months later, my friends were amazed at how much fuller my hair seemed. Perseverance paid off handsomely - and after 8 months of using SHOKAIGAN, I now feel like I'm back in my 30's! I have not only regained my hair, but my confidence too!

And the best birthday present of all was from the same little girl, who came to my little birthday tea. After wishing me "Happy birthday ", she reached out to touch my hair and beamed, "Auntie, your hair is so pretty now."

"After a week, I noticed that my hair didn't fall as much as it used to. After using it every day for few weeks, I was happy to hear friends and relatives comment that my hair looked fuller... Even the texture has improved so much! Today, I've never been happier to look into the mirror and see a head full of hair again!"

- Toshiko Asahi, Kyoto, Japan

I now have a full head of hair and no longer wear a wig!

"For the past few years, I wore a wig to go out - it was the only way I could stop feeling so self conscious of my thinning hair and bald spots. Wearing a wig was very uncomfortable and often left me hot and bothered. After a few weeks of using SHOKAIGAN, I could feel my hair becoming fuller. I now have a full head of hair and no longer wear a wig - SHOKAIGAN lets me enjoy life and feel proud of my hair. It works for my husband too!" - Kayo Sato. Tokyo, Japan
