Product details

Low pH hair care

A mild, low pH treatment with biotin, amino acids, camellia and sage that leaves hair soft and the scalp comfortable.

The conditioning half of Pyunkang Yul’s Low pH scalp line keeps to the brand’s minimal, gentle approach. Its creamy formula spreads evenly through the hair without clumping, wrapping it in moisture, while biotin and two amino acids help it feel soft and strong. Calamus root, heartleaf and ginger comfort a delicate scalp and rinse clean without residue.
