Kiwabi, a premium Japanese scalp and hair care brand, is redefining luxury hair wellness as it expands into the U.S. market. Known for blending centuries-old Japanese beauty traditions with modern science, Kiwabi emphasizes the scalp as the foundation for long-term hair health. Its holistic philosophy, rooted in harmony, precision, and balance, focuses on nourishing the scalp, addressing gray hair, and restoring hydration to achieve natural strength and radiance.

For over a decade, Kiwabi has been a trusted leader in Japan, with a reputation built on high-quality, award-winning formulations. Guided by the Japanese principle of takumi—master craftsmanship—the brand prioritizes patience, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail. Every product is designed to provide gentle yet powerful results that strengthen hair over time, ensuring beauty is nurtured from its roots rather than relying on temporary fixes.

Kiwabi’s two signature lines, ROOT VANISH and ROOT BEAUTÉ, are crafted to offer modern consumers effective, non-damaging solutions for hair and scalp care. The ROOT VANISH collection is inspired by Japanese calligraphy techniques, ensuring precise and effortless application. Among its standout products is the Root Vanish Color Brush ($48), a sleek, mess-free click-pump applicator that instantly conceals grays while hydrating strands and refreshing color with a soft, natural finish. Its ultra-portable design makes it an ideal choice for weddings, vacations, or quick daily touch-ups.

Complementing the Color Brush is the Root Vanish Color Treatment ($48), a weekly nourishing cream that refreshes hair tone, camouflages grays, and restores hair without harsh chemicals or damage to the scalp. The Root Vanish Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair ($48) is formulated with Fullerene, the Nobel Prize-winning antioxidant that is 172 times stronger than Vitamin C. This lightweight yet deeply replenishing conditioner provides intense UV protection, hydrates the hair, strengthens each strand, and shields it from oxidative stress for long-lasting color and vitality.

The ROOT BEAUTÉ line reflects Kiwabi’s belief that true hair beauty starts with a healthy scalp. This collection includes the Scalp Massage Hair Essence Serum ($65), Scalp Massage Shampoo ($38), and Scalp Massage Conditioner ($42), all designed to purify, soothe, and balance the scalp while supporting natural cycles disrupted by stress or age. By focusing on scalp wellness, ROOT BEAUTÉ ensures hair remains strong, vibrant, and full of natural luster.

At the heart of Kiwabi’s formulations are traditional Japanese botanicals such as yuzu oil, tsubaki oil, persimmon fruit, loquat, and seaweed extracts. These natural ingredients are combined with advanced hair science to achieve results that are both effective and safe. By avoiding harsh dyes and instead using a layering approach that mimics kimono weaving techniques, Kiwabi delivers natural-looking, long-lasting color coverage that nourishes rather than damages the hair.

The brand is deeply influenced by shizen, the Japanese concept of naturalness and effortless authenticity. Kiwabi’s products do not mask hair but instead restore its innate beauty, offering a calming, sensorial experience. The textures and subtle fragrances of each product elevate hair care into a luxurious, wellness-focused ritual that rejuvenates both scalp and spirit.

With over ten years of success in Japan, Kiwabi has built a loyal following among dermatologists, stylists, and consumers. Its U.S. debut offers American customers the opportunity to experience the same innovative, scalp-first solutions that have set the brand apart in Asia. Products are now available at us-shop.kiwabi.com, bringing modern Japanese luxury and wellness to a broader audience.

Kiwabi’s philosophy of continuous creative refinement, or kufu, ensures that its products remain at the forefront of innovation while staying true to its heritage. By combining botanical wisdom with scientific breakthroughs, Kiwabi delivers hair care that is not only luxurious but also transformative. With this expansion, the brand invites U.S. consumers to embrace a new era of beauty where scalp wellness, hydration, and natural radiance form the foundation of truly healthy hair.
