Korean Vs Japanese Shampoo

Sharing is caring!

Korean and Japanese brands are well-known for their organic hairline productions. Among these, shampoos are the most popular.

In this article, I’ve selected RYO Damage Care Shampoo (Korean Shampoo) and Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo (Japanese Shampoo) to compare and contrast and bring out the best one for our hair type.

So, without any further delay, let’s dive into the discussion-

How Do These Shampoos Work?

Basically, Korean RYO Damage Care Shampoo and Japanese Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo have mechanisms similar to ordinary shampoos.

They are formulated to moisturize and clean our hair, removing dust and dirt. Citric acid, Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate present in these shampoos help to wash our hair.

Moreover, the oil extracts in these shampoos moisturize and nourish our hair and keep our hair healthy and shiny.

What Is The Difference Between Korean And Japanese Shampoo?

The Korean shampoo RYO Damage Care Shampoo and Japanese shampoo  Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo have some differences in terms of function and formulation. These are as follows-

Is There A Reason Why Should I Use Japanese Shampoo Instead Of Korean Shampoo?

The Japanese Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo is formulated to deep clean hair removing dirt, dust, oils, and dry cells from your scalp.

Meanwhile, Korean RYO Damage Care Shampoo has intensive nourishment formulas that repair your damaged hair.

So, if you have oily that often gets dirty, go for Japanese Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo. The active charcoal and clay in this shampoo cleanses your hair, removes excessive oils from the scalp, and keeps your hair fresh.

In contrast, Korean RYO Damage Care Shampoo is unsuitable for oily hair and has no deep cleansing properties.

Therefore, having oily hair can be an excellent reason to choose Japanese Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo over  Korean RYO Damage Care Shampoo.

What Is The Best Brand Of Shampoo For My Hair And Skin Type?

The formulas of shampoo vary with the type of hair. That is why it is essential to know our hair and skin type before applying any shampoo.

For instance, if you have oily hair and scalp and apply shampoos for dry hair, it will make your hair more oily because shampoos for dry hair have moisturizing properties that make oily hair more oily.

On the other hand, if you have dry hair & skin, I suggest you go for the Korean brand RYO; it has a Damage Care Shampoo with camellia oil, leaf extract, and pine needle. These ingredients will nourish your dry hair with extreme care.

But, if you have oily or normal skin and hair type, Japanese Pelican is the best brand for you. This brand’s Clay & Charcoal Shampoo deeply cleans oily hair and keeps your hair and skin fresh.

Which Is Better: Japanese Or Korean Shampoo?

Honestly, whether good or bad, judging a shampoo depends on selecting the right one. If you pick a shampoo that doesn’t go with your hair, it’s not the shampoo’s fault.

For regular use, I suggest Korean RYO Damage Care Shampoo. The reason is straightforward. It has pomegranate extract that strengthens our hair, five-berry extract for thick hair growth, Camilla oil for moisturization, and ginger for root hair development. In a word, it is complete hair care for us.

In contrast, Japanese Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo has activated coal that cleans our hair and is ideal for all hair types. It also has seaweed extract and camellia japonica seed oil to moisturize our hair.

So, putting these two shampoos together, I find Korean RYO Damage Care Shampoo better than Japanese Pelican Clay & Charcoal Shampoo.

However, if you have oily hair, Japanese shampoo would be your best option rather than Korean RYO Damage Care Shampoo.

How Do I Choose Between Japanese And Korean Hair Care Products?

Please, consider the below points in choosing between Japanese and Korean hair care products-

Know Your Hair Type

First, know your hair type to choose between a Japanese and a Korean shampoo. Then go for any of the shampoos that suit your hair. It is essential to choose the right kind because if not, the shampoo will cause damage to your hair.

Check Ingredients

Ingredients of shampoos are essential as they may contain some chemicals that will harm our hair. For instance, Sulfates and Parabens in shampoos damage our hair.

Consider Your Hair Color

If you have colored hair, it will require extra care. That is why when choosing between a Japanese and a Korean shampoo, consider the one with a color-protecting formula.

Ideal For Regular Use

All types of shampoos are not formulated for regular use. So, if you want to wash your hair regularly, choose mild Japanese or Korean shampoo.
