Korean Haircare Guide: Hair Oils, Serums and Scalp Care

Korean Haircare Guide: Hair Oils, Serums and Scalp Care - blushcraft

Korean haircare is much more than shampoo. Brands such as RYO have long focused on scalp care, while newer salon-style products emphasize smoothing, shine and leave-in conditioning.

Hair oil versus hair serum

The terms overlap. In practice, both are usually used on the lengths and ends to improve slip, shine and the appearance of dryness. The main differences are texture, ingredient mix and how heavy the product feels.

What about scalp care?

Scalp products solve different problems from leave-in serums. If your concern is dandruff, irritation or hair loss, a finishing oil is not the same thing as a scalp treatment. Match the product to the problem.

How much should you use?

Start small, especially on fine hair. Apply through the mid-lengths and ends rather than automatically coating the roots. Thick or chemically treated hair can usually tolerate more product.

Bottom line

Hair oil is useful when it improves how your hair feels and styles. It is not a substitute for treating a scalp condition or for repairing severe damage.
