S5, Ep 10: Scalp Health 101 for Redheads with Mimi + Catherine from Aromase

June 09, 2023

Our theme at H2BAR is SHINY, GLOSSY red hair for the next few weeks! The big Finally Glossy drop happens 1 week from today (June 16, 2023) at midnight, EST. P.S. We're hosting a BIG 20% off sale this weekend, no code needed. Head to the H2BAR shop to shop now.


So, it's only natural for us to talk about hair on today's podcast. Great hair starts with a healthy scalp. Our guests are Mimi Chien and Catherine Cheng -- and we're calling them right from Taiwan! They are from the Aromase team and are here to talk about healthy scalps and what we all want -- luscious red hair. Mimi is the CSO Chief Sustainability Officer/ Deputy Manager and Catherine is the Global Sales + Marketing Manager.


If you're an H2BAR Box subscriber, the full-size Aromase 5α Juniper Scalp Purifying Liquid Shampoo was inside your Spring Deluxe H2BAR Box! If you are a redhead who suffers from an itchy scalp, this product is a scalp pre-shampoo. It removes excess sebum, and scalp buildup, soothes inflammation, and combats dandruff.


A little bit more about Mimi + Catherine. Mimi is the only Asian board member of the B Beauty coalition. She works to care for human beings and the earth through the natural plant-extracted scalp care products of AROMASE and juliArt brands; actively participates in mountain climbing, caring for caregivers, circular economy, and renewable energy. Catherine is a hopeless enthusiast for beautiful things and has solid experience in the aesthetic medicine field and her own beauty blog. She is a trainer and speaker at medical conventions and global training for doctors and business partners.


We ask them the following:


1.Our H2BAR Box subscribers have been loving Aromase Juniper Scalp Purifying Liquid Shampoo! Tell us more about the product.


2.What are the exact steps someone should be taking to care for their scalp?


3.How does someone know if they have dandruff, psoriasis, or other scalp-related issues?


4.Many redheads have sensitive skin and sunburn easily (which by the way, scalp sunburns are the worst!). How can we protect our scalp from sun damage?


5.How about itchy scalps? Should we avoid any ingredients for optimal scalp health?


6.What do you think of the following scalp care advice many are preaching to use online, especially on TikTok?


Next week, we are dropping a special Finally Glossy podcast episode where we answer many questions we have received on social media about the special redhead shampoo.


Daily, we get an array of questions from social media comments, emails, and direct messages. We thought it would be fun to bring these to the How to be a Redhead podcast! We answer 2-4 questions per podcast. Do you want to send in your questions? Email H2BARPodcast@gmail.com, or DM us on Instagram @HowtobeaRedhead or TikTok @HowtobeaRedhead.
