The Essentials

Why DEMI DO Was Created

Changing how scalp care is seen

Scalp care has often carried a negative image: something only for people with scalp or hair concerns, done quietly, rarely talked about and seen as a chore. DEMI DO was created from a strong wish to turn that image around, and to propose a new scalp care habit that anyone can take up easily and enjoy.

The scalp is skin too

DEMI DO starts from a simple principle: for hair to be healthy, the scalp needs to be healthy. The scalp is part of the skin, and DEMI believes caring for it is as necessary a habit as facial skincare. That is why the brand recommends daily scalp care for everyone, regardless of age or whether they have any particular concerns.

In practice, this comes down to three simple changes:

• Switching the daily shampoo to a scalp shampoo.
• Washing the scalp, not just the hair.
• Replenishing what the scalp and hair need after shampooing.

DEMI's view is that these small daily steps build up over time and shape the hair a client will have in the future.

The Brand Idea

“No Matter What Age I Become, My Hair Makes Me Feel Like Myself.”

The Japanese brand tagline, “一生、この髪とあそぼう。”, is accompanied on the official DEMI DO website by the English copy, “NO MATTER WHAT AGE I BECOME, MY HAIR MAKES ME FEEL LIKE MYSELF.” It expresses the brand’s wish for people to continue enjoying their own hair throughout life, supported by scalp care as an everyday beauty habit.

What "DEMI DO" means

DEMI DO is the first brand to carry the DEMI name, a sign of the company's confidence in the technology behind it and its wish to change how scalp care is seen. "DO" carries the meaning of moving and starting. The message behind the name is to create a new culture in which everyone brings scalp care into their daily shampoo.

SMART SCALP

DEMI calls this new habit SMART SCALP. It does not require complicated or special care: simply bring scalp care products into the daily shampoo at home and combine them with a regular head spa at the salon, with the aim of helping clients feel a difference over time.

Colour-Coded by Design

DEMI DO's packaging was designed to overturn the usual image of scalp care products, around the keywords "excitement" and "dynamism." Each product category has its own colour, bringing a touch of colour to the bathroom and reflecting the wish that daily shampoo time should feel enjoyable.

Within each category, the label colour is graded from item to item so products are easier to tell apart: the deeper the colour, the higher the moisturising power and the more moisturised the finish.

The result is a range that is easy for clients to understand, and that salon staff can pick up and recommend intuitively.

Developed Through Hair Science and Professional Insight

Four decades of scalp and hair research

DEMI Cosmetics works under the mission "Beauty evolves through science," and has spent around forty years researching scalp and hair science through the DEMI Hair Science Laboratory. DEMI DO was developed as the culmination of that work, bringing together the company's knowledge and technology with a focus on scalp care as the foundation for healthy-looking hair.

Adding medical insight

DEMI DO set out to deliver true scalp and hair beauty through the salon. To support that goal, DEMI considered medical insight necessary alongside its own research and brought in Dr. Sawako Hibino, a physician with extensive experience in cosmetics development.

Dr. Hibino’s view of beauty extends beyond appearance to include daily habits and physical and emotional wellbeing. This closely aligned with DEMI DO’s concept of establishing new everyday habits for beautiful scalp and hair care. She supervised all DEMI DO products and participated in repeated reviews and refinements throughout their development.

“Beautiful, abundant hair begins with a healthy scalp. Caring for your scalp also means caring for your daily habits, wellbeing and yourself.”

The Formulation: Keep Active and Root Active

DEMI DO's scalp shampoos and scalp treatment feature two hybrid ingredients: Keep Active, an original ingredient developed by the DEMI Hair Science Laboratory, and Root Active, discovered through joint research with a leading Japanese research institution. They are used to support care from the scalp towards healthy-looking hair.

All four components are moisturising ingredients. Combined in one formula, they are designed to help maintain a healthy scalp environment and create a good foundation for healthy-looking hair.

Choosing by Scalp Type

Just as skincare is selected according to skin condition, DEMI DO's scalp shampoos are organised into types recommended for oily, combination and dry scalps. DEMI recommends consulting a salon professional when selecting a product suited to each client's current scalp and hair condition.

For the scalp treatment step, Beauty Garage Malaysia carries Scalp Treatment Type DS, formulated for dry, sensitive-feeling scalps.

The DEMI DO Range at Beauty Garage Malaysia

Beauty Garage Malaysia carries three DEMI DO categories, each with its own role in the routine.

Scalp Shampoo

Chosen by scalp type, the scalp shampoos contain both Keep Active and Root Active. They are designed to cleanse the scalp while creating the foundation for beautiful-looking hair.

Scalp Treatment

The scalp treatment cares for the scalp and hair together, wrapping both in care after shampooing. Like the shampoos, it contains Keep Active and Root Active.

Scalp Essence (Special Care)

DEMI DO's special care essences are for clients with deeper scalp and hair concerns, as well as those who want to look after their future hair. They approach scalp care from multiple angles and are applied directly to the scalp.
