Little things I never passed up at OLIVE YOUNG (Part 2)

Last time I mentioned a few small items I could try since I’m staying longer at Seoul Station, here I’ll continue with a few more I haven’t finished writing about yet.
Haha 😄 Since I wanted a cleaner look for the photos this time, I stopped dyeing my hair, so I had a chance to try shampoos other than color-refreshing ones.
It's been a long time since I last picked out a shampoo for myself,
This time I did a lot of research like everyone else,
Later I picked the one I was most interested in 🥹
The main thing that made me want to try Grabity is that it’s specifically designed to address fine, limp, and damaged hair.
Haha, I hit all three situations🫠
After using it, I feel the volume and fluffiness people mentioned in reviews after washing really aren’t exaggerated at all.
From the first day I arrived at Seoul Station to now, the temperature has changed a lot,
At first you need to wear a light down jacket, then in the next couple of days you can wear short sleeves.
In the past, when the weather got warmer my hair would quickly go flat because my scalp got oilier, but after using Grabity I haven't had that problem these past ten days 😌
If you're curious or have the same questions I did, come learn about Grabity with me.
Grabity is an innovative functional shampoo developed by scientists from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).
Uses a lifting technique that emphasizes fighting gravity, designed specifically to address fine, limp, and damaged hair.
Promoting an 'anti-gravity' technology, designed to deliver strong volume, deep scalp care, and damaged hair repair, helping hair regain elasticity.
Besides shampoo, hair treatment is just as important.
Even though I haven't dyed my hair recently, my past bleaching and dyeing often caused color fading, and with my love of diving, my hair has really been through a lot of damage 🥲
This time I tried UNOVE, a popular Korean brand focused on repairing damaged hair.
I bought 'UNOVE Deep Repair Hair Mask', and it happened to be on a special offer that included a small travel-sized tube. I probably won’t finish the full-size jar this month or take it with me, but the travel size will be my new travel buddy.
How do I describe how good this is? 🫣
These past few years, because I often dye my hair, I pretty much get a keratin hair treatment every six weeks, and at home I use Napla IMPRIME to extend the salon repair effects. Napla IMPRIME’s key technology works by replenishing platinum keratin to strengthen the hair, and using golden colloids to lock in moisture.
UNOVE combines rich amino acids and botanical essential oils, designed specifically for damaged hair. After using it for these past ten or so days, I really like the results, my hair was already very smooth before the post-wash treatments (wet-hair elujuda, dry-hair Napla Shea Oil), and after using a straightener... although of course it doesn't match the effect of a fresh salon treatment, for at-home care the texture is really nice 🥹
Oh, I forgot to mention SKIN1004 in the previous post, it’s a brand I check out and use whenever I can. I first got to know this brand back in 2021, when they had just opened sales channels in Taiwan, and I was lucky to be invited to try their products, after that I kept following the brand🙂↕️
They were actually founded earlier, in 2012, and are a Korean skincare brand focused on ingredient-first principles, insisting for years on the most skin-friendly effective ingredients. They treat the skin at its source, and with long-term use can strengthen the skin’s defenses to keep it healthy.
I'll share a recap with you all later 🙂↕️
