About Funori
Seaweed is the general term for many species of marine algae. We make our Funori from three important Japanese seaweeds, and nothing else:
- Fukuro-Funori, also known as jelly moss (Gloiopeltis furcata)
- Ma-Kombu, the edible kombu (Saccharina japonica)
- Mekabu, the nutrient-rich roots of Wakame seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida)
The above are notable for their content of calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin K — and importantly iodine and Fucoidan.
Funori is an abundant source of iodine, the deficiency of which plays a significant role in thyroid gland irregularities, resulting in dry hair, thinness, poor hair growth, and hair loss.
Funori is also known to reduce hair loss and promote new growth in some individuals. The Fucoidan polysaccharide in Funori has demonstrated ability to alleviate dryness and promote healthy hair growth cycle.

How to Use
❤ Cleanse and Conditioner the Japanese Traditional Way
Add 1 teaspoon of Funori to 1 cup of hot water in a small container and mix well. A squeeze bottle will work great. Use your own or buy one here.
- Rinse hair with lukewarm water.
- Apply Funori. Massage gently onto scalp with fingertips.
- Cleanse hair with straight strokes. Don’t use circular motions which can tangle your hair.
- Rinse well.
See picture gallery for the above.
❤ Deep Treatment
Prepare mixture as in above, using a little less than half as much water. This will make the mixture a little more gel-like, so that it will not drip down your neckline.
- Wash hair as normal (without using the mixture).
- Towel dry.
- Apply mixture.
- Cover hair with cap for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse well.
❤ Mix with Your Favorite Shampoo
If you like foam and lather, or if you have a favorite shampoo you like to use, you can add the benefits of Funori to your shampoo:
- Prepare mixture as in above.
- Add 2 to 3 teaspoon of shampoo and mix well.
- Wash and rinse hair as usual.

I've valued using Wawaza on more than 2 occasions. Their haircare products are very high quality and easy to use.

So glad I found it again
I had used this product 5 years ago and loved it but I lost the packaging. I came across the Wawaza website the other day was very happy to be able to order again. This makes my hair feel full, soft, and healthy. I love it! I was also given 2 samples of other products that I can't wait to try. I love samples!!

Fuller, darker, shinier hair
It took me a couple of tries to get a handle of it. I mix it for only the amount I need for one use . I have thin fine hair, with some grey. After using it, my hair feels waxy, it appears to be fuller and darker, the gey is less noticeable. On top of that, my hair is very shiny. These effect last till the next hair wash if I use a regular shampoo. So far I'm happy with it since it only takes a couple of minutes to prepare the mix. I'll see if it has any long term effect such as reducing hair loss.

It WORKS
If you haven't yet tried this traditional Japanese shampoo, you have no idea what you are missing. I have always used excellent high-end products for my hair: and you know how it is - I was never quite satisfied with the results. Tried this on a whim and on the basis of a YouTube review - and - I will ALWAYS use this shampoo-conditioner in the future. It WORKS, my hair feels soft and manageable, and my silver hair is 'bright'; I no longer have to fight the split ends, dryness or discoloration of my silver hair. Did I mention that I get this result without a separate 'conditioner' and, in my case, without the necessity of a 'purple shampoo'. Great product and from now on it is 'my' product. Another important consideration is the incredibly personal customer service offered and an easily accessible website with clear product directions, and helpful tips. Love this product - love WAWAZA.

Funori Japanese seaweed hair cleanser and conditioner
The product has natural and pleasant seaweed smell. My hair shines after using, no sticky feeling unlike other conditioners

Thank you Funori!
It is an amazing experience. During the process of washing your hair, nothing is clear, as if you are massaging ordinary water into the roots of your hair. At that very moment, it’s hard to believe that the scalp will be adequately washed, it seems that the accumulated oiliness has not been removed, but after washing and drying, an amazing volume is visible, a pleasant feeling of cleanliness, there is no tightness, itching, or dryness. For me, this is the discovery of the century in my hair care!

Really great product
I use it as a deep treatment on 4a hair and my hair feels and looks great afterwards. I I've purchased several more packs. Their no squeeze bottle is a great accompanying storage solution. Much better than the small bowl I was using.
