Collection: Hair︱Scalp Treatments

Scalp treatments come in different forms and are designed to address a range of concerns, from soothing irritation and delivering hydration to strengthening the scalp barrier or supporting hair growth. A scalp scaler, however, is primarily an exfoliating treatment for the scalp. 

Products like the Growus Sea Salt Therapy Scalp Scaler are formulated to deeply cleanse the scalp by removing excess sebum, product buildup, and dead skin cells that regular shampooing may leave behind. Powered by mineral-rich sea salt and seawater, they help purify the scalp and create a healthier environment for hair to grow.

* Malkn Tip: Use a scalp scaler just once or twice a week to remove buildup and dead skin cells. As an exfoliating treatment, overusing it can strip the scalp of its natural oils, potentially leading to dryness and irritation.

A scalp tonic is a lightweight, leave-in treatment formulated to deliver active nutrients directly to the scalp without leaving any greasy residue. Products like the SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Tonic combine soothing ingredients with targeted peptides to strengthen hair roots and reduce hair fall caused by scalp stress. To use, simply section your damp or dry hair, spray the tonic directly onto your scalp, and gently massage it in with your fingertips. Because it absorbs quickly and requires no rinsing, it can easily be used daily.

A scalp scaling ampoule benefits dry or damaged scalps by combining gentle exfoliation with intensive nourishment. Unlike traditional scalp treatments that focus mainly on hydration, a scalp scaling ampoule helps remove dead skin cells, excess sebum, and product buildup while replenishing the moisture and nutrients needed to support a healthy scalp barrier. A great example is the Growus Damage Therapy Scalp Scaling Ampoule. Its Pink Salt Complex and salicylic acid gently exfoliate the scalp to lift away buildup, while niacinamide helps rebalance oil and moisture levels.

When searching for the perfect Korean hair care product, keeping in mind the following ingredients will help you choose the formula best suited to your hair and scalp concerns. 

For scalp health, look for ingredients like Centella Asiatica to help calm inflammation, niacinamide to regulate excess oil and salicylic acid (BHA) to gently exfoliate excess sebum. If you're experiencing thinning hair or excessive shedding, peptides are another beneficial ingredient, as they help nourish hair follicles and support stronger, healthier-looking hair. 

For damaged or dry hair, ingredients such as proteins, collagen, and amino acids help strengthen weakened strands, improve elasticity, and smooth the hair cuticle to minimise breakage. Hydrating ingredients like panthenol also help replenish moisture, leaving hair softer, shinier, and more resilient. 

* Malkn Tip: If your hair is severely damaged, try the Growus Damage Therapy Hair Treatment EX. Enriched with a 20% protein complex, it delivers intensive nourishment to help repair damaged hair.
