Many people feel their skin deteriorate around the time they enter so-called "Alaska," but in fact, it is the scalp (hair) that should not be overlooked in the same way.

According to a "scalp survey" conducted by cosmetics manufacturer DARIYA on 309 working women aged 29-38, about half felt their hair was "dry" and one in three felt their "hair volume" had changed compared to when they were 20. Hair tends to become thinner as people age in their 30s and beyond, and just like the skin, it may be necessary to take care of it according to age.

Having just turned 30, I have recently been concerned about an itchy scalp. It itches and bothers me especially in the evening when I am at the office or on my way home. One cause seems to be the dryness of the scalp caused by air conditioning, but I don't know what to do about it....

So I tried Plumair Medicated Scalp Essence, a hair-growth agent for the scalp from the hair-care brand Anna Donna. The spray is said to improve blood circulation and regulate the scalp environment by using active ingredients such as an extracted liquid of senburi and a vitamin E derivative, as well as moisturizing ingredients.

The package design is as cute as a sundries. The packaging is as cute as a sundry, and while words such as "hair growth" and "aging" might attract attention, this is a product that can be placed casually in a bathroom or on a desk. Priced at 1,500 yen per bottle (tax not included), it is an affordable scalp care product.

When I immediately sprayed it on my scalp, I felt a "whoosh! The carbon dioxide gas that comes out with a powerful "whoosh!" is very stimulating and pleasant!

Ahhhh! I wake up!
Ahhhh! I wake up!

After spraying, I massaged my scalp with my fingers. It is smooth and does not make my hands sticky like mousse. Immediately after use, the hair is moist, but it dries and returns to normal in a few minutes, and the refreshing feeling and subtle citrus scent lasts for a while. The pleasant stimulation of the jet spray is addictive, and even the lazy author seems to be able to continue using it.

I recommend using it at home or during breaks at the office because it refreshes the scalp. The good fragrance from your hair will also boost your feminine power, and you may be able to kill two birds with one stone. If you have recently noticed a change in your hair, why not start with this easy scalp care?
