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.

Nourishing food for a healthy scalp!
To begin, I could not log into my account do I'm on a new one. My reviews are long overdue and I thank you for your patience. You are amazing. I've been very sick from complicated circumstances and products that make a difference, people full of compassion, and such peaceful happiness like you and your company exude, these are things SO RARE to find. I'm in tears for being so full of gratitude! The love you put into my order, the care you took packaging everything so beautifully and safe, your generosity.. I'm beyond humbled. Yuri is a beautiful soul and so helpful when ordering! I had forgotten the container for my mom to mix this in and she added it! Such kindness! The seaweed is fabulous, nourishing, feels great, and I can tell it is premium quality like everything else I've tried here. Our troubled scalps are soothed and while my mom prefers a lighter oil, I NEED the Camellia oil thst only this site offers. I'll be putting a review there for that! Again, my deep thanks for ever single tiny detail and delicate happy care I feel in packages from Wawaza. You are a blessing!

AMAZING IN EVERY WAY
First of all, this seaweed was worth every cent. It moisturizes my curly parched hair veryyyy well wihtout being all greasy. This is the only product I have used that moisturizes your hair without the use of any type or descendant of oils. Second, it really reduces hair fall, I see less than quarter the amount compared to when I not use it. I use it as a shampoo when I havent previously used a mask or as a deep conditioner when I do decide to use a mask before shampooing. Ill definitely repurchase this product once Im done because it does its job well by moisturizing my hair and caring for it as well in many ways NATURALLY...no side effects

Great for My Scalp Health!
I would like to use the seaweed until it is gone before I give a full review, but for now, I have almost used up one 5 g packet and my scalp and hair love the seaweed. It feeds them what they need and I am pleasantly surprised at the soft feel of my Native American/Japanese hair after rinsing it out in the shower. I mix up about one teaspoon in a mixing bowl (I use a mixing bowl set from a past hair dye kit and the silicone bristled brush that came with it) in hot water then start “painting” my scalp, focusing on known seborrheic dermatitis spots, then applying the rest into my hair (very short pixie cut). I leave it in my hair while I apply a face mask and get ready to shower. INSTANT relief from the intense itch. I’m currently detoxing my entire body systems so the seaweed helps tremendously in alleviating symptoms. I was introduced to seaweed over 50 years ago when Mom used to wash our long hair with imported seaweed shampoos and conditioners. If I could walk around all day and night with seaweed on my scalp I would until I resolve my health condition. What a blessed relief! I truly look forward to my shampoo/conditioner sessions about every other day for now. There is no slick or greasy feel to my hair after I rinse it out and absolutely no odor of sea at all. FAST shipping and I have already placed my second order to surprise Mom with her replacement Tsuge comb after leaving hers behind over fifty-six years ago! Thank you for offering high quality products!

I love it... really works
Great product, my hair feels great.

It convinced me fully.
I've been hesitant to try this natural shampoo, as I felt that no matter what kind of shampoos I used, my hair would stay dry and fizzy. The smell took a little to get used to, but from the first time I used it, and all the times after that, I could tell the difference, even with still wet hair. It was a lot softer to touch and I was able to comb my hair without any issues. I'll surely order this again!

Very good product. I had breast cancer and need to use natural hair products. This one was recommended to me and it is very goid.

Worth the money!
A very good product. Less hairfall in the shower. No tangles (usually my hair tangles a lot even after conditioner). Hair is also visibly darker (hair damaged due to too much chlorine frm swimming). Purchased the hair and body oil too and felt the difference right from the 1st application. Will definitely come back for more. Arigato Wawaza!

Very good product
I really liked this product. It's all natural and I noticed less hair falling out in the shower. I just ordered 3 more packs. Lasts for a really long time as I apply it only 2 to 3 times a week. My hair feels thicker and healthier. Arigato Wawaza!

Product substantially reduced my hair loss!
For the past 2 years my doctor and dermatologist said my hair loss (150 to 200 strands a day) was due to stress. I came across this website and decided to try the Seaweed Hair Cleanser and Conditioner. I used it as a deep conditioner once a week for the past 3 weeks and noticed a marked improvement right away. My hair feels stronger and I have hardly any hair loss now. I am so pleased with the results. I also purchased the Aya Camellia Oil which makes my hair so soft and silky. Thank you Wawaza for your outstanding natural products and exceptional customer service! I have ordered more of your products to give as gifts to family and friends.

Just amazing!
I have dry kinky hair and have been looking for the right shampoo for so long. Spent so much money but could not get any satisfaction till I used this product. My hair was noticeably smoother and less dry. I wish I could have found this before.

Wow what a marvelous product!
I received a trial size packet of the Funori along with my last order and was extremely impressed with the results on my hair. Not only did it make my hair soft and tangle free after washing, but it also gave it a beautiful sheen and there was a reduction in dryness of my scalp. Before using Funori my scalp was dry and flaky with dandruff. Now that I have used it, the flakes are gone! Wawaza this is great! With this kind of satisfaction I seriously doubt I will be using regular shampoo again. I would definitely encourage customers to give it a try. Believe me you will not be disappointed.
