Protecting your summer hair with BEETS products

At Tokyo Head Spa, every product we use is chosen with intention.

Our treatments are designed to protect and restore the scalp and hair in all seasons, but summer places unique demands on both.

Sun exposure, salt water, chlorine, and frequent washing can quietly weaken the scalp barrier and strip the hair of its natural protection.

That’s why the products we use must do more than feel luxurious. They need to help the scalp recover, reinforce the hair’s structure, and protect against ongoing environmental stress.

The BEETS professional range does exactly that. BEETS aligns with our philosophy of combining authentic Japanese scalp care with modern hair science. The formulations are gentle, eco-conscious, and free from harsh additives, while still delivering visible results. Each product works to maintain balance at the scalp, strengthen the hair fibre, and restore softness and shine after time in the sun or water.

How beetroot has traditionally been used to support the scalp and hair

Beetroot (Beets) has long been valued in hair and scalp care for its nourishing and protective properties.

Naturally rich in antioxidants, beetroot helps defend the scalp against oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and environmental damage. This is particularly important in summer, when the scalp is more vulnerable to irritation, dryness, and imbalance.

Beetroot is also associated with supporting healthy circulation.

When the scalp receives adequate oxygen and nutrients, hair is better able to recover from stress and maintain strength. Rather than acting as a surface treatment, beetroot supports the scalp environment itself, helping it stay calm, nourished, and resilient.

After swimming, when salt and chlorine can leave the scalp tight or unsettled, beetroot’s supportive qualities help restore comfort and balance.

How this translates into the BEETS product system

In the BEETS range, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract is part of a carefully designed system focused on repair, protection, and long-term scalp health .

Summer swimming and sun exposure don’t just dry the hair. They weaken the scalp barrier, lift the hair cuticle, and accelerate oxidative stress. BEETS products are formulated to respond to these exact concerns.

By combining beetroot extract with advanced peptides, a range of botanical oils (including avocado, macadamia, sunflower and rapeseed oils), and regenerative skin care ingredients (including retinol, niacinamide, cica extract, rosemary, silk extract, ginger and more), the range helps:

• Rebalance the scalp after sun and water exposure.
• Repair damage caused by salt water and chlorine.
• Replenish lipids lost through frequent washing.
• Strengthen hair fibres so they’re more resistant to breakage.
• Restore natural shine by smoothing the cuticle, not coating it.

Because the formulas are free from sulfates, silicones, and harsh surfactants, they cleanse and treat without stripping. This makes them ideal for our guests who swim regularly or spend long days outdoors.

How BEETS products are used in Tokyo Headspa treatments

At Tokyo Head Spa, BEETS products are used in a layered treatment process that allows the scalp and hair to recover fully from environmental stress.

Each step is intentional. Each product prepares the scalp or hair for what comes next.

Step 1: Beets Bio-Lift Scalp Serum

This pre-shampoo serum (Beets 0 Bio-Lift EX Scalp Serum) is massaged directly into the scalp to support circulation, calm irritation, and strengthen the foundation for hair growth.

After swimming or sun exposure, the scalp can feel tight or fatigued. This step helps restore comfort while delivering high-performance hair growth ingredients and antioxidant support.

The Beets Bio Lift Scalp Serum is included in our sakuyahime treatment.

Step 2: Beets Shampoo

The scalp and hair are cleansed using a BEETS shampoo selected for your needs.

A clarifying shampoo is used alongside it to gently remove salt, chlorine, sunscreen residue, and environmental build-up. The scalp is left clean and balanced, not dry or squeaky.

Step 3: Beets Scalp Water Treatment

The BEETS scalp water treatment delivers hydration, peptides, and botanical extracts deep into the hair and scalp.

Massaged in for absorption, it supports internal repair while helping the scalp settle after exposure to heat and water. Many guests notice a refreshed, comfortable feeling almost immediately.

Step 4: Beets Hair Treatment

The final step restores moisture and strength where summer damage shows most.

Acting as both a mask and conditioner, this treatment smooths the cuticle, improves elasticity, and helps protect the hair from future breakage. Hair feels soft, light, and resilient, ready for more time outdoors.
