11 Best Shampoos in Singapore

1. SMiB Coral Calcium Shampoo

Best for Hair Loss

One of the best-selling brands in Korea, the SMiB Coral Calcium Shampoo is ideal for hair loss treatment that uses high-quality natural formulation without any harmful ingredients. Winner of Best Scalp Treatment by Beauty Insider’s Choice 2020, the SMiB Coral Calcium shampoo is infused with best-grade calcium extracted from hardened edible corals – a component crucial in maintaining a clean and healthy scalp. 

The coral calcium not only serves to reduce hair loss, ease itchiness and calm any irritated scalp, it also acts as a root booster to grow your hair faster and stronger. If you love to bleach and colour your hair, these processes can leave your hair dry and scalp oily. What’s great about the SMiB Coral Calcium Shampoo is that it efficiently helps to balance hydrating your hair while refining your scalp, neutralising the negative effects of any bleaching or colouring. Check out more information and reviews with pictures here.

While this shampoo works well on its own, it is highly recommended to use SMiB’s full range of Coral Calcium products – the Premium Starter Kit to maximize your hair quality. One of their notable products is the Plasm Scalp Massager that removes dead skin cells and sebum from the scalp while also helping absorb the necessary nutrients such as calcium. Furthermore, the series also includes a rejuvenating treatment and scalp essence. Together, this Coral Calcium set effectively reduces hair loss, improves dandruff conditions, relieves itchiness, and restores the hair’s natural PH acidity, softness, and shine.

Why buy this:

• Winner of Best Scalp Treatment by Beauty Insider’s Choice 2020
• Featured in Women’s Weekly
• High quality coral calcium shampoo for effective anti hair loss treatment
• Effective root booster to grow your hair faster and stronger
• Hydrates your hair while refining your scalp

2. GRAFEN Root Booster Shampoo

Best for scalp care

This bestselling shampoo in Korea exploded in popularity and is now one of the bestselling shampoos in Singapore. With over 7,100 bottles sold on Shopee, the Grafen root booster shampoo is a gentle but effective shampoo that helps to cleanse and care for your scalp, as well as prevent hair loss and thinning. It is formulated with a unique blend of 22 amino acids and also includes camellia seed oil and olive oil to nourish and hydrate your hair.

I personally love this shampoo and it provides a wonderful experience. The shampoo is a light transparent gel type of liquid but it lathers up amazingly. The bottle, while looks “petite” in size, contains 500ml and is pretty generous because it lathers up so well, you don’t need to use much each shower. I have pretty long and thick hair and I only need 3 small pumps to cover my entire scalp and head of hair. The formula is very gentle and it doesn’t strip my hair of its natural oils, and I can feel the progress after just using it for a couple of days. My husband even attests to the effectiveness of this product!

Why buy this:

• Formulated with 22 amino acids for scalp care
• Contains oils that nourish and hydrate your hair
• A gentle formula that lathers up well

Pair it with the Grafen Edge Finger Shampoo Brush which is to be used in the shower while shampooing. The gentle bristles help to ease any scalp itchiness and discomfort. It also helps to improve blood circulation. If you are struggling with hair loss, you can also try the other variant – Grafen Hinoki shampoo formulated with cypress water and extracted cypress oil that helps to actively promote hair growth.

3. OGX Hair Shampoo Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo

If you have dry or textured hair, turn to the OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco shampoo. Formulated with Moroccan argan oil, it will help to smoothen out porous hair texture and lock in moisture. The result is softer, smoother, and shinier hair. Moreover, argan oil is also beneficial for your scalp.
