Korean Hair Guide

K-drama characters might have stunning locks, but you can achieve similar styles with care and dedication. Follow our essential Korean hair guide for healthy-looking waves.

Rinse your scalp with vinegar to restore the natural pH levels of your hair. After shampooing, apply conditioner and use a scalp massager or brush to stimulate hair follicles.

Scalp Massage

Scalp massages are an integral component of the Korean haircare routine. Done post-shampoo, this form of bodywork stimulates blood flow to the scalp, helping reduce itching, dandruff, and anxiety, contributing to hair loss.

For optimal scalp massage results, utilize both effleurage, which involves circular stroking movements, and petrissage, which involves gentle kneading. At least twice weekly for 10 minutes is advised for best results.

Enhance the luxury of your scalp pampering ritual with an added treat: Add a scalp treatment after your massage. Try something like the PK Exfoliating Scalp Mask, which contains salicylic acid to prevent dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, or the Amino Acid Scalp-Restoring Treatment Mask with amino acids and fairly traded coconut oil that soothes dry scalps. Be sure to follow the directions on its packaging, apply after massaging the scalp, and let it sit for some minutes before washing away.

Scalp Serum

Scalp care is one of the mainstays of Korean beauty, just as skincare is. To maintain healthy hair and scalp pH levels with gentle products designed for them (such as this shampoo and serum duo).

This shampoo’s sulfate-free formula thoroughly cleans and soothes your locks with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients, plus moringa seed oil and black rice oil that nourish moringa seed pods to promote moisture retention for healthy-looking locks.

After cleansing, massage this hydrating scalp serum through your locks section by section to rehydrate and nourish them.

Plus, it leaves no sticky or heavy greasy residue behind! Not to mention it is vegan friendly too.

Detangling Serum

Korean beauty routines may seem glamorous and full of products to give skin an incredible glow, but their scalp treatment regimen is equally vital. From massages to special detangling serums, Korean formulas help untangle knotted locks while protecting them from damage while leaving locks looking sleek and healthy.

Streax offers this nourishing hair serum to help you attain luxurious and silky locks. This treatment provides beautiful waves, formulated with walnut oil to protect against heat damage and give instant shine and softness without becoming greasy!

Moroccan Oil

Moroccan oil is an empowering hair care product containing the rich ingredients of argan oil that nourish hair, reduce frizz and tangles, make your locks shiny and lustrous, prevent heat damage, and prolong its color by acting as an antioxidant protector.

Wishtrend offers this excellent product to address damaged hair or dry scalp conditions. Packed with shea butter to nourish damaged strands and argan oil to restore moisture and shine, this fantastic treatment doubles as both a hair mask and a leave-in treatment!

Your scalp needs the same tender, loving care and attention as your skin to remain healthy. Regular scalp massages, serums, and a balanced diet are crucial in maintaining beautiful locks like in K-dramas! And be sure to use heat protectants before using styling tools on your locks.
