If CosRx can convince people to willingly slather snail mucin on their faces, trusting the brand with hair care is a pretty easy next step. The Peptide-132 Hair Bond Repair Treatment uses a proprietary peptide complex, along with keratin, collagen, and amino acids, to repair damage, smooth frizz, and strengthen dry or overprocessed strands without weighing hair down. “The oil serum has also been great with extra dry ends and doesn’t leave your hands feeling super greasy,” says Shanna Shipin, senior commerce director.
A’Pieu Mint Hair Vinegar Rinse
You could DIY an apple cider vinegar rinse in your kitchen, but if you want something a little more sophisticated—and less likely to accidentally leave your hair feeling stripped—A’pieu’s Mint Hair Vinegar is the upgrade. Fruit extracts clarify excess oil and buildup, while a cooling mint complex and menthol deliver a refreshing tingle, leaving your scalp feeling clean, balanced, and freshly reset. “The chill sticks around, making it especially nice to use on a hot summer day, and the itchiness is pretty much nonexistent,” says Deanna Pai, contributing commerce editor.
Seapuri Scalpy Bubble Tonic
Between heat, humidity, sunscreen, dry shampoo, and product buildup, it doesn’t take much for your scalp to start feeling itchy, greasy, or generally angry during the summer months. Seapuri’s Scalpy Bubble Tonic is a lightweight foam that delivers a cooling burst of relief thanks to a soothing blend of cica, panthenol, and menthol, while salicylic acid helps dissolve excess oil, flakes, and residue that can leave the scalp feeling congested. Even better, the built-in bristle applicator lets you gently massage the formula directly into your roots without scratching or aggravating already irritated skin.
