About RYO
RYO draws from Korean traditional hanbang (herbal medicine) principles to create scalp care and anti-hair-loss products. For Asian clients concerned about hair thinning — a concern that affects many Asians living overseas due to stress, diet changes, water quality, and climate — RYO offers a culturally resonant, gentle approach to scalp health. Their heritage herb formula is developed with Korean medicinal plant extracts and is well-known in Korean households.

Recommended Products From This Brand
RYO Root Volume Shampoo
A root-volume shampoo direction for flat Asian hair that loses lift quickly.

Scalp Deep Cleansing Shampoo

Jayangyunmo Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo
