There are hair products you pick up and forget about two weeks later, and then there are experiences in a bottle. RYO, Korea’s cult-favourite scalp and haircare brand, has finally landed on Nykaa, and trust me, your shower routine will never be the same.
I was always the “buy whatever shampoo is on offer” kind of girl, until my scalp started staging a full-blown protest. Flakiness, oil one day and Sahara-dry the next, plus the kind of dullness that no amount of dry shampoo could mask. Enter RYO. I stumbled upon the brand during a trip to Seoul years ago, where every other person at Olive Young (think Korea’s beauty mecca) had one of their sleek bottles in their basket. I grabbed one, half-sceptical, and my hair literally sighed in relief.
Now, with RYO launching on Nykaa, we don’t have to depend on duty-free shops or haul requests from friends travelling abroad. With centuries of herbal wisdom, cutting-edge science, and a sprinkle of that unmistakable K-beauty magic, RYO promises the scalp care renaissance we’ve been waiting for. Let’s break down the star players in this launch, shall we?
RYO Deep Cleansing & Cooling Shampoo
Think of this as a cold-pressed juice cleanse, but for your scalp. Formulated to sweep away grime, oil, and buildup while leaving behind that fresh, minty ahh feeling, the Deep Cleansing & Cooling Shampoo is the answer to oily roots and limp hair days. With its patented blend for sebum care, scalp cooling, exfoliation, and even odour control, every wash feels like a reset button. I tried this after a particularly sweaty pilates session, and the cooling effect was borderline addictive; it’s like menthol for your scalp without the sting. What I love most is that it doesn’t just strip the oil away; it balances it, so you’re not greasy in 24 hours or desert-dry by day two. If scalp care were a weekend retreat, this bottle would be your golden ticket.
RYO Sensitive Scalp Care Shampoo
Meet the soft-spoken therapist of the RYO lineup. With Madecassoside and tea tree oil, this shampoo is dermatologically tested to calm irritated scalps while moisturising deeply. Its 22 patented technologies give it serious anti-ageing clout, making it more than just a shampoo, it’s scalp therapy dressed as a daily ritual. I reached for this one after my scalp decided to rebel against a heatwave plus overzealous dry shampoo use. The relief was instant: no itch, no tightness, just a cloud of soft lather with a subtle floral hint. The vegan, pH-balanced formula makes it gentle enough to use daily, and the ginseng-caffeine combo feels like a power breakfast for your scalp. Bonus: the triple collagen formula actually left my hair bouncier, not flat.
RYO Hair Loss Expert Care Shampoo for Dry Scalp
If your scalp feels more desert than dewy meadow and shedding strands have you silently panicking in the shower, this one’s your ride-or-die. Packed with whole ginseng extract, mugwort, duckweed, and the patented Ginsen9EM complex, it tackles nine scalp and hair concerns from dryness and itchiness to fragility and dullness. I’ll be honest: hair loss has been my personal nemesis (blame stress and late-night fries). This shampoo didn’t magically regrow my baby hairs overnight, but it did make my hair feel stronger and more resilient. The hydration factor is unreal, you know that soft, swishy, TV-commercial hair flip? Yes, that. Plus, it shields against heat styling, so I can curl guilt-free.
RYO Damage Care & Nourishing Treatment
This isn’t just a conditioner; it’s a full-blown rehab programme. Imagine five solutions in one bottle: split-end relief, shine, softness, elasticity, and deep nourishment. With camellia seed oil, walnut oil, honey, and pomegranate extracts, it’s like feeding your hair a Michelin-starred feast. The first time I used this, I left it on for ten minutes while doomscrolling, and when I rinsed it out, my hair felt as if it had been ironed smooth (in a good way). Colour stays vibrant, frizz bows down, and there’s a weightless gloss that makes you want to keep swishing your hair at random moments (yes, even in office Zoom calls). It’s indulgent without being heavy like silk sheets for your strands.
RYO Root: Gen Hair Loss Care Treatment
Volume plus nourishment? Say less. This treatment is a saviour for fine, thinning hair; it plumps up roots while lavishing care on damaged lengths. What sets it apart is its lightweight formula: no greasy residue, no weighed-down strands. According to consumer tests, over 90% of users noticed softer, fresher, and less problematic scalps. Personally, I found this perfect for mornings when I needed my hair to look alive for a last-minute meeting. It gave me body at the roots and a softness that made styling easier. It’s like scaffolding for fragile hair, supportive, invisible, and chic.
