when i was in korea, i knew i had to buy some of their hair care. but i didn't make enough research. moreover, the ones available there were not the ones i researched about. so i made a quick research and just grabbed stuff that i would need. like a scalp cleanser and shampoo. and also lots of hair loss treatment and hair mask. so actually, i don't have problematic scalp, but sometimes, i gets flaky and itchy scalp. plus, i read somewhere that hair loss problems might stem from scalp problems, so i try to care for my scalp now. i heard that labo-h is a good brand, so i bought one scalp cleanser from them to try.
this is the description from olive young website: this powerful scalp cleanser contains no silicon-based oil, animal derived ingredients, mineral oils, artificial coloring, sulphate surfactans, triethanolamine, or imidazolidinyl urea for safer use. this scalp cleanser cleanses ultra-fine dust particles to prevent pore blocking and build-up of dead skin cells on scalp.
featured ingredients:
- sea salt and sea silt absorbs sebum and removes body wastes to deeply cleanse and leave scalp clean.
- organic green tea leave ingredient boosts scalp barrier to alleviate hair-loss symptoms.
the packaging: i honestly forget the original packaging. but the cleanser comes in a dark green plastic squeeze tube with dark green plastic screw cap. the body is see through so you can see the remaining product from the outside. there's description at the back in korean. they use spout to dispense the product, which is very convenient to use. it comes in 120 ml which is quite a lot, compared to the previous scalp treatment from a local brand that i used before.

the scent: this has a fresh ocean scent, which is probably to match the main ingredients, which is sea salt.

the product: it's a white grainy balmy cleanser. it's easy to squirt out of the the tube and since it has spout, it's easy to direct the product on where we want it to be. however, at first i didn't know what to do, so i think it works just like my previous product. i put it on dry scalp. but it's difficult to scrub around. so i google translate it and apparently, you need to wet your hair and then put it on your scalp. that way, it's easier to massage it around and it even foams a bit. i only use it on areas where i know it can get flaky sometimes and not my whole scalp area.

the result: it feels grainy at first, but as i keep massaging it onto my scalp, it melts and turns foamy? just like face cleanser. anyway, even though this feels grainy, it doesn't feel harsh like a face cleanser. during my first two tries, i didn't see much result. i suffer from scalp flakiness in korea even after using this cleanser. however, as i continue using it, my scalp was getting better when i was in japan. and as i went back home, i keep continue using this once a week and i have no problem with my scalp anymore.

i have to say this cleanser, in combination with the hair brush, is a great duo. my scalp has never been better. if you have problem with your scalp and you can get this one, then you should try it. price wise, i'm not sure since it's not available here, but judging from the currency, this one is not that cheap. maybe mid price? anyway, i definitely won't repurchase if i can't buy this one straight no matter how good this one is.
