Despite the fact that domestic fashionistas already actively use skin care products for the face and body of manufacturers from this country, Korean hair cosmetics still considered a "dark horse" in the market of beauty and health products. There are several reasons for this, and one of them is quite contradictory reviews about shampoos, conditioners and other ingredients. Moreover, customer reviews are polar opposite. Some say that they will never "buy" advertising again, while others believe that it was the products from the assortment of Korean brands that allowed them to save their hair, return it to a healthy and luxurious look. The team of Stylesalon.ua specialists decided to find out who is right and who still believes in outdated stereotypes. Well, in order to understand whether it is worth using Korean cosmetics for hair and hoping for a miracle, you need to understand the features of some products already available on the domestic market.
Thick consistency and aroma
It is possible not to be an expert in Korean cosmetics, not to understand brands, but even with a cursory acquaintance with shampoos of Asian manufacturers, the European consumer immediately notices their incredibly thick consistency. Density is almost the calling card of shampoos made in Korea. At the same time, the products foam easily and provide high-quality cleaning. But the density affects such parameters as economy of use, and the consumption of detergent will be no less than when using a shampoo of a European brand. Well, the second parameter will be the time spent on washing. You will have to spend more time washing them off, and the process itself must be carried out more carefully. As for the quality of cleaning, it is high, as is the level of safety for hair.
The second specific feature of shampoo of "Korean origin" is the presence of aroma. If you prefer hair cosmetics without a certain smell, then you are unlikely to like products that envelop you in aromas of a collection of herbs, spices or citrus fruits. The smell of burnt sugar, which has specific notes, is no less common. Therefore, if you think that hair cosmetics should have an "inconspicuous" aroma, then Korean shampoos are not for you.
When choosing restorative shampoos, and there are a lot of such products in the assortment of Korean brands, remember that the hair of local women is thicker, harder and even more porous than that of European women. Therefore, if you are the owner of very thin strands, it will be better to use products offered by Asian brands, even if they are positioned as "light". But if your curls are over-dried, tired after the next coloring or bleaching, then shampoos made in Korea are an ideal solution. After all, they will help you become the owner of shiny and smooth hair.
Full care instead of the usual conditioner
Unlike European manufacturers, Korean companies do not offer an ordinary conditioner, the task of which is to make curls obedient and fresh, but a real treatment, that is, a treatment that takes at least half an hour. Treatments are applied to the hair and kept under a heating cap for at least 20 minutes. If you do not plan to carry out such long-term care, then you can use the treatment as a conditioner, applying it only to the lower part of the curls.
In the arsenal of care products of Korean brands, there are many products that are considered auxiliary. For example, sprays are intended for hair toning, and liquid silk or a moisturizing mix can be used to give strands a special charm.
Some compositions are not at all popular among domestic buyers, since the algorithm for caring for the curls of local beauties does not involve the use of those products that are used by their Asian colleagues. Such unique products include overnight hair masks that do not need to be washed off and guarantee that you will wake up with soft, delicate strands. But the difficulty is to apply the optimal amount and not overdo it, otherwise you can get up in the morning with greasy curls.
No less unique products include fillers-ampoules and serums, which, like night masks, do not need to be washed off.
There are really a lot of care cosmetics in the arsenal of Asian manufacturers, which on the one hand risks confusing you and complicates the choice, and on the other - will allow you to choose not just one product, but a whole set of preparations capable of making your hair an object of envy and admiration.
