Japan's hairdressing industry is very developed, which has led to the development and growth of many hair cosmetics brands, and Marypan is one of them. Founded for more than 60 years, Melpan specializes in hair care, perm and styling products, and its sales have been increasing year after year in recent years, reaching 351 million yen in 2018, of which 4.5% were perms. According to the list of the world's top 100 beauty companies released by WWD, in 2016, Meilipan's sales ranked 79th in the cosmetics industry, occupying a place among many daily chemical and beauty companies.
 
Japan's perm market is still dominated by thioglycolic acid products, but cysteine-based perms have also been widely used and have been included in the perm regulations, with a current market share of about 20%. Repeated perming will make the hair porous and yellow, and perming damaged hair will further aggravate hair damage, so it is recommended to choose cysteine-type products for multiple perms. Melipan's Pianjun moisturizing cold perm series is based on cysteine, with ammonium thioglycolate to achieve a milder perm effect.
 
When it comes to mitigating and repairing damage, the Pian Jun Moisturizing Series has put a lot of effort into it. In addition to the use of mild reducing agents, the setting agent also chooses a softer sodium bromide, and a variety of pomades such as acetylcysteine, Atlantic briskey oil, lanolin, etc., can be used to smell a light oily smell.
 
The Liangzhuo series uses ammonium thioglycolate and ethanolamine thioglycolate as reducing agents, with high perm efficiency, and the setting agent also uses hydrogen peroxide, which is a relatively decent product, but with a capacity of 400ml, the price is higher than Shiseido's Crystallingzing Qurl series and Crustallizing Straight series, and the price is about 240 yuan.
 
In addition, Meilipan also has a Lianjialiang series of cold perms, the softener is still ammonium thioglycolate, and the styling agent is changed to sodium bromate, with a thioglycolic acid content of 8%-10%, which is suitable for normal hair and coarse and hard hair. The price of the whole set of products is about 160 yuan.
 
Melipan products are exclusively for salons, and are generally not sold through department stores, online stores, supermarkets and other channels, and need to be purchased at salons. At present, there are authorized salons in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong and other provinces and cities, which can be viewed on the official website of Meilipan.
