Korean Scalp Care · 한국식 두피 케어
Also called: scalp routine · scalp serum · scalp tonic
When this routine applies
Targeted scalp routine separate from hair washing — exfoliating tonics, scalp serums, BHA/AHA scalp ampoules, and scalp massagers. Focus on root oil control and density support.
한국어 설명
머리 감기와 별개로 두피 자체를 관리하는 루틴 — 각질 제거 토너, 두피 세럼, BHA/AHA 두피 앰플, 두피 마사저. 모근 유분 컨트롤과 밀도 지원이 중심.
What to use
Apply scalp tonic or serum 2-3 times per week on dry scalp before shampooing. Massage for 1-2 minutes. Pair with a gentle sulfate-free shampoo to avoid stripping.
한국어 설명
주 2-3회 건조한 두피에 두피 토너·세럼 도포 후 샴푸. 1-2분 마사지. sulfate-free 샴푸와 결합해 두피 자극 방지.
What to avoid
Avoid strong scalp acids if you color-treat hair frequently (risk of color fade). Skip if the scalp has open sores, active dermatitis, or persistent itching from undiagnosed conditions.
한국어 설명
잦은 염색 시 강한 두피 acid 피함 (색 빠짐 위험). 두피에 상처·활동성 피부염·진단되지 않은 가려움이 있으면 사용 금지.
