The essence that makes Korean haircare unique is that these products entirely emphasize complete and lasting hair care rather than immediate solutions. Healthy hair starts to grow when the scalp is healthy, so the brands make their products to give nourishment, cleansing and balance the scalp, just like we do with skincare. This idea helps to put a stop to irritating scalp, hair loss and dryness before they start arising.
UNOVE comes from the scalp expert Dr.FORHAIR. They made this brand just for hair that is really damaged from a lot of dyeing, bleaching and perming. UNOVE focuses on the main things hair is made of: protein and amino acids.

This brand sees hair loss and thinning as a skin problem so they use medical-grade ingredients to refresh your scalp. Their ‘Rosemary PDRN line’ is a huge hit, setting a high standard because it uses PDRN (which is Salmon DNA).
