What this product is

Written from the ingredient list. Where it describes how a formula behaves, that is inferred from what the ingredients are and where they sit in the list, not measured.

Overview

Oriental Special Shampoo is a shampoo from Daeng Gi Meo Ri, aimed at fine hair, straight hair and wavy hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on oil control, build-up avoidance and scalp soothing. The ingredients doing most of that work are Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate and Salicylic Acid. The list runs to 53 ingredients, 12 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.

How it cleanses

It cleanses with Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, a sulfate detergent — effective on oil and product, and the thing people move away from when colour fades fast or the lengths feel stripped. It is buffered with Cocamidopropyl Betaine, which softens that considerably.

How it feels on hair

The formula reads as lightweight: humectants lead and there is little in the way of heavy oil or silicone, so it should not weigh fine hair down. It contains Dimethicone. Silicones smooth the cuticle and cut frizz on contact; they are also what a clarifying wash is for, because they do not rinse out with a mild shampoo.

Protein

There is a small amount of protein in the list: Hydrolyzed Keratin.

On the scalp

For the scalp itself the formula carries Salicylic Acid, Panthenol and Menthol. A sensitive or easily irritated scalp may want something milder — the detergent here is the strong kind.

Where it goes

It is the first step of a wash: it goes on wet hair before anything else. Wet hair and scalp thoroughly. Apply an adequate amount of shampoo and massage gently into the scalp and hair. Allow the herbal foam to cleanse and nourish for one to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

What it is not for

Nothing in this formula is aimed at protein & strength, volume / lightweight, curl definition and color protection — not a fault, just the shape of what is in the bottle, and the reason one product rarely covers a whole routine. No ingredient here is one we recognise as supporting hair growth. Reducing breakage and growing hair are different things, and this formula's evidence is for the first.

In short

Working for it

  • Light enough for fine hair

Worth knowing

  • Cleansed with sulfates
  • Contains silicones that need clarifying
  • Contains fragrance
