A Glimpse into the Future Hair Care Challenge

Recalling my days at P&G, I am reminded of a time when Japan held the reigns of hair care trends, setting the stage for innovative products that would shape the industry. It was an era of exciting discoveries and pioneering ventures, one of which was the launch of the scalp care mask by Head & Shoulders Professional line in 2010. It was an innovation that addressed the root cause of hair concerns, emphasizing the importance of a healthy scalp for lustrous and beautiful hair. The success of this product showcased Asian prowess in leading the way for scalp-focused hair care solutions.
