The Japanese hair washing method emphasizes the way of washing hair, or the technique, rather than the products you use.

Users are advised to lather a small amount of shampoo between their palms and apply it evenly to the scalp. Gentle circular motions are recommended for massaging the scalp, stimulating blood circulation and promoting healthier hair follicles. The length of the hair does not require vigorous scrubbing, as the lather will cleanse it during rinsing.
