Ryeo is a drugstore brand in South Korea specializing in hair care products. I remember seeing this when I visited Seoul and was looking for a hair dye kit at one of the drugstores. At the time, I couldn't buy a Ryeo Shampoo and Conditioner set to take back home to the states because of lack of luggage space. I was happy to find it again and see it was available on one of my favorite Asian beauty online retailers, iMomoko.com.
How this hair care line is very different than ones you find in America is that it combines asian herbal remedies into their shampoo and conditioner formulas to promote hair health. Ryeo has 5 versions types of shampoos and conditioners targeting the these problem areas:
- Brown: Hair Root Care
- Blue: Dandruff
- Green: Dry Scalp
- Red: Damaged Hair
- Purple: Anti-Hair Loss

The one I purchased from iMomoko is the green one (Ryeo Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Conditioner) targeting dry itchy scalp and deep cleans hair. After researching, I was in between buying this or the purple one, which supposedly prevents hair loss.
At the time of the photos for this post, I had long hair and noticed there was a lot more hair appearing in the drain. When it did come time to order online the shampoo and conditioner, the purple one was sold out so that left me with green. The haircare set I bought came with 2 shampoos and 1 conditioner.

This is how my hair looked after using Ryeo Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Conditioner. I would say that my hair felt silky, soft and not like straw. There was a lot more shine and a boost in volume. My hair looks a lot less dull in color compared to the "before" photo. For this photo, I blow dried my hair without using any styling products and clipped back my bangs with a bobby pin.
Very pleased with the results from just one use. When using the shampoo, my hair did not get tangled, feel like straw, or get dried out . The scent for the green version is minty and musky where it reminded me of male version shampoos and body wash scents. My scalp did get a minty tingle but the more often you use it, it feels less intense than the first time.
When using the conditioner, it was not too greasy or oily and it rinsed out with only a little residue leftover on my skin. This is not a heavy or thick hair conditioner but after using it my hair felt very hydrated and smooth.
After using this for a couple months, my first shampoo bottle is just this month approaching its end. The conditioner has a quarter left over. I havn't opened the second one yet. I bought this shampoo around summer time of last year and use it 5 days a week. The amount of my hair falling out lessened too once I started using the Ryeo shampoo and conditioner.
