K-beauty has taken over the world by storm, and it’s more than just makeup and skincare. When it comes to Korean hair care, they’re known for their innovative formulas and visible results. Maybe you’ve been doing all you can to get the tresses you’ve always dreamed of, but nothing has actually worked. This may be in due part to the products you’ve been using – Western hair care products are mainly formulated for Western hair types. Korean hair care is on another level; they’re made with specific hair concerns in mind for Asian hair types, which may just be the missing piece of the puzzle. Today, we’re listing down some of the best Korean shampoos that you can get in Singapore, let’s get to it!

Best Korean Shampoos Available In Singapore

1. Daeng Gi Meo Ri Vitalizing Shampoo

One of the best drugstore finds and a personal favourite of ours, Daeng Gi Meo Ri’s Vitalizing Shampoo stands as one of the best Korean shampoos you can find on the market.

2. Nature Republic Argan Essential Deep Care Shampoo

If you have dry, brittle, or lacklustre hair, then we cannot recommend the Argan Essential Deep Care Shampoo from Nature Republic enough. Truly one of the best Korean shampoos in Singapore, this stuff is infused with Moroccan argan oil, which contains vitamin E that can deeply hydrate the hair shaft to reduce dryness and boost shine. Not only will this thoroughly cleanse your hair, this shampoo is also amazing at reviving dry locks and giving it the hydration that it so desperately deserves.

3. Pyunkang Yul Low pH Scalp Shampoo

Pyunkang Yul is a well-known Korean brand that’s been making waves with their incredible essences and moisturisers, but their shampoo should not be slept on. Say hello to their Low pH Scalp Shampoo, which is a slightly-acidic shampoo that works wonders for irritated and sensitive scalps. If you suffer from a flaky scalp or dandruff, then this is a must-try. It’s formulated with ginger and tea tree leaf extracts that can really soothe any inflammation, redness, or itchiness, so you can go about your day feeling confident!

Real review:

“This shampoo has a pleasant light fragrance and cleans well, so I have been pretty happy. I have very fine hair and an oily scalp during this ridiculously hot summer. This shampoo is harder to spread/lather than “regular” shampoo, but I got used to it quickly. I tried using it without using conditioner afterwards, just to see how that would be. Hair dried feeling soft. I was surprised. So, yeah, it’s gentle on the scalp and not bad at all for the strands. I also need root strengthening and growth help, but it’s been nice to give my scalp a break with something soothing. I think this has less irritating ingredients than some products. I like that a lot.”

A. Allen, Amazon

Why we love it:

  • Suitable for sensitive, irritated scalps
  • Leaves a refreshing feeling
  • Deeply cleanses the scalp and hair

Cons:

  • May leave a residue on thick hair

Price: $16.20

4. AROMATICA Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo

Yup, AROMATICA is a Korean brand! You might have seen this around at Sephora, and this product in particular is one of the brand’s bestsellers. This shampoo is amazing if you have an oily scalp, have a lot of product buildup, or suffer from dandruff, as it works hard to remove stubborn dead cells and impurities from the scalp. Formulated with all natural ingredients, the star of the show is rosemary, which has been shown to improve nerve growth and circulation in order to strengthen hair and promote growth.

Real review:

“This shampoo has made my hair scalp healthier, no itch anymore & no pimple like bumps. My hair becomes less oily & more manageable, lesser hair fall. I’ve only [used] my 1st bottle & Ionly need to wash my hair twice a week since my scalp feels clean.”
