The Basic Steps of Korean Hair Care
Refine Your Daily Routine for
Manageable, Sleek Hair
From pre-shampoo to treatment and leave-in care.
A careful routine is the secret to beautiful hair.
In Korean Hair Care, "Preparation" and "Pre-Finishing" Are Essential
When you're worried about dryness, frizz, or dullness, it's easy to focus solely on finishing products. However, to achieve beautiful, manageable hair, it is important to prepare your scalp and hair condition before shampooing, thoroughly repair with a treatment after, and incorporate leave-in care before drying.
Korean hair care focuses on the state of your hair before washing, leading it into a more manageable condition without unnecessary strain. Furthermore, by using a treatment after shampooing and applying leave-in care after towel-drying before you blow-dry, you can aim for a smooth, cohesive finish all the way to the tips.
Adding just a few steps to your daily routine can make a noticeable difference in the finish. You can refine your routine more carefully by using KEMA Pre-Shampoo to prep before washing, Pre-Treatment to thoroughly repair hair after shampooing, and adding leave-in care with Miracle Bond Balm or Leave-In Balm.
The Basic Steps of Korean Hair Care
If you want to incorporate this into your daily routine, the basic flow is as follows:
Step 1 | Brushing
Before you begin your routine, gently detangle your hair while it is dry. Brushing helps lift dirt and makes it easier to reduce friction during the next steps.
The trick is to detangle little by little starting from the ends, moving carefully toward the roots. It is important to handle your hair gently without pulling.
Step 2 | Add freshness before washing with KEMA Pre-Shampoo
Within the Korean hair care routine, the first step to reconsider is the one before washing. By incorporating KEMA Pre-Shampoo into your daily regimen, you can refresh your scalp and hair, providing a comfortable foundation for the steps that follow.
It is perfect for days when you've used styling products, are concerned about sebum buildup, or simply want a fresher scalp. Adding this one step before your usual routine is a great way to refine your daily habits.
PRE SHAMPOO
Formulated with a Herb Extract Complex and Allantoin. Prepares your scalp and hair for a clean, refreshed state before shampooing.
- Rinse your hair and scalp thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Take an appropriate amount and apply it to your scalp and entire hair.
- Spread it with a gentle massage, then rinse well.
- Proceed to your normal hair care steps.
Step 3 | Repair hair after shampooing with KEMA Pre-Treatment
"Pre-Treatment" is a KEMA product. You use it just like a normal treatment, after shampooing. This extra step is perfect for when you are worried about dryness or frizz.
It can be incorporated into your daily routine as an item that smooths and leads your hair to a manageable finish. It is easy to use even on hair that feels damaged from coloring, perms, or bleaching, making your hair care habit feel more thorough.
PRE TREATMENT
Formulated with a Natural Herb & Plant Extract Complex. Apply after shampooing to smooth your hair from the inside out and guide it toward a manageable finish.
- After shampooing, lightly drain water from your hair.
- Take an appropriate amount in your hand and apply mainly to the mid-lengths and ends.
- Gently work it through your entire hair.
- Leave it for a short time, then rinse well before towel-drying.
Step 4 | Leave-in care before blow-drying is also key
After towel-drying, we recommend applying Miracle Bond Balm or Leave-In Balm, focusing on the mid-lengths to the ends, before using a hair dryer. Preparing your hair before drying helps prevent frizz and dryness, leading to a more cohesive, manageable result.
Adding this final step to your daily routine makes it easier to smooth your hair and enhances that soft, pleasant touch. When combined with pre-care, you can create a more comprehensive and meticulous hair care regimen.
- After towel-drying, gently remove excess moisture.
- Take an appropriate amount of Miracle Bond Balm or Leave-In Balm.
- Spread it well between your palms, then apply mainly to the mid-lengths and ends.
- Finish by drying with a hair dryer.
Adjust the amount based on the length and volume of your hair. We recommend starting with a small amount and adding more if needed.
Just add KEMA to your daily routine for a different finish
Effective hair care isn't just about choosing the right items—it's also about the order in which you use them. Prep with pre-shampoo before washing, thoroughly repair with pre-treatment after shampooing, and achieve manageability with leave-in care before drying. This accumulation of small, careful steps leads to hair that is more manageable and smoother to the touch.
KEMA Pre-Shampoo, Pre-Treatment, as well as Miracle Bond Balm and Leave-In Balm are items designed to fit easily into this daily routine. These are highly recommended for those who want to add extra care without completely changing their usual regimen.
Recommended for:
- Those concerned about dry or frizzy hair
- Those worried about the texture of hair after coloring, perms, or bleaching
- Those who want to rethink their daily hair care
- Those who want to try Korean-style hair care
- Those who value manageability and shine
Summary | Start Korean Hair Care by rethinking the "order"
Korean hair care isn't about doing anything particularly difficult; the point is to consider the order of your daily care carefully. Prep the state before washing with pre-shampoo, thoroughly repair the hair after shampooing with pre-treatment, and apply Miracle Bond Balm or Leave-In Balm after towel-drying before you finish with a dryer. This consistency leads to beautiful, manageable hair.
Make your daily hair care more comfortable and more meticulous.
