Korean cosmetics have been setting trends in the beauty world for years. It first conquered skincare with its multi-layer routines and innovative formulas, but now its success is transferring to hair care. And one of the products drawing the most attention are Korean hair masks.
On social networks they have become a viral phenomenon. Before-and-after videos, hair visibly shinier and enthusiastic comments from hair-care experts have made many of these masks become genuine best-sellers. Even one expert confided to me that it is one of her most coveted masks at the moment.
I’m referring to the Korean hair masks from the famous brand Rated Green. It is a brand characterized by using cold-pressed natural ingredients. This means that the vegetable oils they use—such as avocado, olive, or rosemary—are extracted without heat to better preserve their nutrients.
Its philosophy centers on three pillars: scalp care, botanical ingredients and natural oils, and soft formulas without heavy silicones or aggressive sulfates. That’s why many experts recommend it when the hair is dry, damaged, dull, or with a sensitive scalp.
In recent years the brand has gained a lot of popularity thanks to social media. And also due to the scalp care trend, which treats the scalp almost as if it were facial skin. Moreover, unlike many traditional masks, Rated Green’s can be applied on the scalp and they have a smoother finish.
After trying several masks from the brand, we settled on these three options. They are different hair masks that cover different needs: from dry and dehydrated hair to one that cares for the entire scalp. Which one would you choose?
