LUFT is a Japanese hair care brand popular with girls into current trends. The company’s products are gaining rapid popularity for providing usability that was never there before. Items include a visionary hair wax that makes hair glossy without being greasy, hairspray that sprays minute particles like that of mist while maintaining hairstyles and caring for the hair, and much more.
The brand’s Hair Design Wax M has taken off in France and for the first time ever outside Japan has been ranked as a No. 1 product.
When you think of France an image forms in your mind of the classical culture and gorgeous streets and buildings. France is known for its high quality fashion culture, and even amongst them LUFT’s high end and top quality products have people in a trance.
It has been one and a half years since LUFT first launched its brand. It is now gaining attention not just in Japan and France but across Asia too.
Hair Design Wax M: ¥1,850 (Before Tax)
The hair wax in question feels light in the hair, keeps your locks in place and adds the perfect gloss while making it look natural. It’s very easy to use and can be enjoyed even by those who aren’t good with setting hair.
Not only does it get the job done in the styling department―it also contains four natural treatment ingredients that prevent hair from getting damaged while covering it in an aquatic floral and citrus scent.
LUFT Hair Design Spray: ¥1,650 (Before Tax)
LUFT’s Hair Design Spray series only just debuted in November last year. Its mist-like spray thinly coats each strand of hair allowing for refined and loose-like styling. Once again this product can be enjoyed by beginners and pros alike.
The spray contains four natural oil ingredients as well as pearl extracts and UV cutting components so users can both look amazing and care for their hair―a strength of LUFT’s products.
LUFT is set to roll out even more products, so be sure to stay up to date as it continues to add to its line-up.

Japanese cosmetics brand SK-II has opened a pop-up shop called SK-II Wonderland at CASE B in Harajuku, Tokyo.
The store lets customers use an AR application that combines Google's latest AR technology "AR Core" with SK-II's accumulated knowledge on skin to create skin and skin care themed digital art. Upon entering the shop you are transported into the colourful world seen on the bottle of the SK-II KARAN Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence which was made in collaboration with KARAN, an artist from the Netherlands. This artwork comes to life when using the AR app, which is available in English, Japanese and Chinese. The first floor of the building houses three rooms each with different designs inspired by the limited edition bottles. Using the app opens up the room to a whole world of colours. There are 26 different things to interact with via the app while in the rooms. You can even find out the age of your skin up at the second floor booth. This is done by taking a photo of your skin which will be compared to other skin types in SK-II's information-packed database. It can be a little nerve-wracking to do it, but my skin is 9 years younger than my actual age, and my cameraman was also 5 years younger, so we were super relieved. You will also find the "Pitera Table" at the shop which reacts to the KARAN limited edition bottle and people's movements. It can tell you all about SK-II's miracle Pitera ingredient. Of course, there are things to buy at the pop-up shop too, so if you're in Harajuku before to stop by SK-II Wonderland to enjoy some digital art while finding out the actual age of your skin.
