The name “Daeng Gi Meo Ri” comes from a traditional Korean braided hairstyle, highlighting the brand's commitment to caring for both the scalp and hair using nourishing herbal ingredients.

What’s Special About Daeng Gi Meo Ri?

Special Prescriptions with Korean Medicinal Herbs

The brand features nourishing medicinal herbs that have been used in traditional Korean medicine for centuries. These herbs provide essential nutrients and hydration to the scalp and hair, addressing common issues such as dandruff, oily scalp, and damaged hair. The herbal extracts work together to strengthen hair roots and deeply moisturise the strands, enhancing shine and promoting fuller hair. Most products in the Daeng Gi Meo Ri line are rich in herbal extracts derived from over 10 different herbs.

Daeng Gi Meo Ri’s Star Ingredients

Ginseng: timulates hair growth and strengthens hair follicles, leading to thicker, healthier hair.

Lingshi Mushroom: Offers numerous haircare benefits, including boosting immunity, and moisturising the scalp and hair, thanks to its rich beta-glucan content and antioxidant properties.

Mugwort: Known to promote healthy hair growth, soothe the scalp, and reduce dandruff due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Jeju Camellia: Contains significantly more Oleic Acid than Japanese or Chinese Camellia Oil, offering powerful moisturising, relaxing, and antioxidant benefits. 

Calamus: Boosts moisture and shine while improving hair elasticity with its protein-rich composition.

Traditional Fermentation Process

To enhance the effectiveness of our ingredients, the brand uses a traditional scientific fermentation process, adding yeast to specially chosen oriental herbs. During fermentation, microorganisms break down these ingredients into smaller parts, allowing them to penetrate deep into the scalp and hair for optimal results. The fermented extracts also help protect your hair from damage caused by environmental pollution and stress, resulting in healthy, radiant locks.

Science-backed Results

The brand has its  own research and development (R&D) facility and is busy running multiple clinical trials and studies to refine their existing product formulas and develop new ones. For over 26 years, it has built a strong reputation for its cutting-edge research on hair loss care. The team is dedicated to creating effective technologies that help boost hair growth and prevent hair loss, making it a go-to for anyone looking to improve their hair health.
