Do you use hot water shampoo?


Yu-shan is a method of washing your hair without using shampoo.


Why are more and more people starting to use hot water shampoo?

The surfactants contained in shampoo remove more sebum from the scalp and oil from the hair than necessary, causing the scalp to dry out and resulting in excessive sebum production.
Excessive sebum secretion clogs the pores, leading to thinning hair and scalp problems.

With this background, there is a movement to wash hair using as little shampoo as possible.


Is it okay to just wash it with hot water without using shampoo? No, that's not the case.
There is a correct way to shampoo your hair with hot water, so we will explain it.

First, let's look at the benefits of hot water shampoo.

●Can improve scalp and hair quality ●Prevents thinning hair ●Eco-friendly ●Save on shampoo costs


Correct procedure for washing your hair with hot water

① Brush ② Rinse your scalp with warm water (about 38℃) ③ Massage your scalp with your fingertips ④ Towel dry

Tip : Before washing, brush your hair to remove any loose tangles and dust to prepare it.

Note : If the water is too hot it will dry out your scalp, so be sure to use lukewarm water.
●Do not wash with your nails. Use the pads of your fingers.



I hear that many people with active sebum secretion are concerned about sticky hair and scalp odor (the smell of oxidized sebum), especially when they start using hot water shampoo.

Instead of suddenly giving up shampooing, start by reducing the amount you shampoo, and as your hair gets used to it, gradually reduce the frequency of shampooing.

Of course, active sebum secretion is a matter of constitution, but it may also be that the scalp has become dry and excessive sebum is being secreted because you have been removing too much of the necessary sebum.It is said that by not removing too much, sebum secretion will return to normal.


By incorporating hot water shampoo into your routine at a pace that suits you, you can achieve shiny, vibrant hair.
