Oribe – Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment For The Viral “Glass Hair”
For impossible, shampoo-commercial hair, turn to the new Oribe Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment: this deeply hydrating treatment promises a mirror-like finish for your hair. Inspired by luxury skincare, this salon-grade formula uses treatment-quality ingredients to impart shine: a plant-based hydration complex creates a moisture-retaining barrier, while a softening polymer blend creates sleekness and improves hair health and manageability. All Oribe products, including this one, are formulated without sulfates (SLS and SLES), and are vegan, gluten-free, and dermatologist-tested.
The Oribe Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment provides weightless hydration and conditioning, smoothing the cuticle to create an optimal surface for light reflection. Besides instantly delivering glossy shine, this deep hydration of the hair also softens it and detangles it, and helps to repair damaged, dull hair. The treatment is used in place of conditioner after shampooing and removing excess water, but if your hair needs extra conditioning (in the case of thick, coarse or dry hair), it can be used after conditioner. This is a wash-off treatment, and is recommended for weekly use.
The Oribe Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment is available at all Oribe salons and retailers and on the website (though website orders do not ship to Singapore at the moment).

Solep – Premium Korean Scalp Care Brand Launches Premier Hi-Gro Range
Solep, Korea’s leading haircare brand for scalp care and hair loss treatment since 2012, now launches the new Premier Hi-Gro range to target hair thinning and scalp concerns. The brand has received awards like the 2023 Korean Beauty Excellence Award, Hwahae Award 2023, and Olive Young Top Pick 2024, and now turns its clinical expertise towards promoting hair growth from the roots up.
The Premier Hi-Gro range consists of four products which work together to combat hair loss, promote hair growth, and strengthen the hair: the Premier Hi-Gro Shampoo, which deeply cleanses without irritation and is recommended for sensitive scalps; the Premier Hi-Gro Ampoule Treatment, which volumises and restores thin, weak hair; the Premier Hi-Gro Scalp Ampoule Pack, an intensive nighttime scalp treatment for healthier hair growth; and the Premier Hi-Gro Tonic, a convenient spray-on daytime scalp treatment. This range has been tested for efficacy: clinical trials show that with consistent use, the Premier Hi-Gro range results in up to a 73.1% decrease in hair loss in just 30 days, along with a healthier scalp and an increase in hair density, with a healthier shine.
The Solep Premier Hi-Gro Range can be purchased on Shopee Singapore and at selected Watsons retail stores.

Ouai – St Barts Hair And Body Mist Is A Beach Vacation For Your Hair
The Ouai St Barts Hair and Body Mist is a vacation in a bottle, with notes of dragon fruit, orange blossom, tuberose and musk. Since it’s a hair and body spray rather than a full-on perfume, it’s clean and never cloying, but it goes a long way in enveloping you in tropical warmth. Suitable for all hair types and skin types, it comes in two sizes: a small, 97ml, for a travel-friendly scent, and a large 236ml that’s still compact enough for your gym bag.
This scent is one of Ouai’s signature creations– inspired by the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy– and the hair and body mist joins the Ouai St Barts Hair Oil, St Barts Cleansing Scalp and Body Sugar Scrub, and the St Barts Gentle Body Wash in a limited-edition range. Reviews have noted that it’s tropical, but not overtly festive: it’s calming, like a “spa treatment on vacation”, and notably omits the chemical sunscreen note present in many beachy perfumes.
Some reviews have noted, though, that the scent doesn’t last long– it is a mist, which eventually does dry down to a lovely coconut. To maximise your tropical vibes, layer the St Barts Gentle Body Wash and St Barts Hair Oil with the fragrance– this will increase the sillage, and get everyone on your morning commute to wonder why it smells like Hawaii.
The St Barts Hair and Body Mist is available at Sephora Singapore.
RYO – New ROOT:GEN Hair Loss Solutions Tailored For Women
RYO’s new ROOT:GEN hair loss treatment line is designed to target women’s hair loss issues, and has a revolutionary formula which targets and alleviates three key concerns of female hair loss– volume, hair density and parting line visibility– in just two weeks. The ROOT:GEN line contains exclusive patented technology designed to volumise hair roots and tackle hair loss concerns, and is enriched with five botanical extracts: rosemary, ginger, lavender, cica and chamomile. A specialised root-strengthening blend of Ginsen Root Cell™ and Caffeine gives a boost to the hair. For holistic care, RYO has also partnered with French perfumer Clarie Dal Zotto to introduce a signature calming scent to the line, designed with 100% botanical essential oils.
The line consists of a shampoo, treatment, and leave-in essence. The ROOT:GEN For Women Hair Loss Care Shampoo is crafted to boost hair volume and tackle common scalp concerns, and its gentle formula reduces scalp redness, removes dead skin cells, and soothes itch. The next step, the ROOT:GEN For Women Hair Loss Care Treatment, is a rinse-out treatment used after shampoo, with three key benefits to combat hair loss: a lightweight silicon oil-free formula, its enveloping technology to protect each strand while imparting softness and volume, and its botanical ingredients: black bean peptides and low molecular weight rose proteins for hair protection and care. The final step, the ROOT:GEN Hair Loss Care Scalp Essence, delivers precise treatment to the scalp by nourishing, exfoliating and moisturising, strengthening hair roots while controlling sebum production.
Clinical trials have indicated that users experience a 96% satisfaction rate with restored crown volume, a 20% boost in epidermal density, and a 30% improvement in limp hair angle, as well as a reduction in hair breakage in just two weeks.
RYO’s ROOT:GEN line can be purchased at Guardian Singapore, the Amorepacific Hair & Body Shop on LazMall and Shopee Mall, and at NTUC Fairprice.

Dyson – Chitosan™ Post-Style Serum Gives You Freshly Styled Hair All Day
From the brand that brought you the cult-favourite Dyson Airwrap, comes a new way to keep those curls in shape– the Dyson Chitosan™ Post-Style Serum, which defines your hair after styling and gives it soft, flexible all-day hold with movement and shine. This serum, alongside sister product Chitosan™ Pre-Style Cream and the rest of the range, are the only formulations on the market designed to work with all of Dyson’s haircare technology, no matter the finished look.
This serum is suitable for all hair types, and works on all end styles: curled or straightened, heated or air-dried. While locking in style, it instantly hydrates with its hyaluronic acid-enriched formula, and leaves a shiny finish while protecting hair in up to 80% relative humidity. The serum is safe for colour and chemically treated hair, and contains a blend of amino acids to repair signs of surface damage.
Even the packaging is optimised: Dyson’s precision engineering has been applied to the product in its applicator, which dispenses an exact 0.22ml with each pump to prevent product wastage or overuse. The full-size Post-Style Serum has refillable, recyclable packaging, as well as a sturdy exterior built to last. Dyson has even made a phone-based NFC application to accompany the Chitosan™ range, providing styling and dosage information as well as support and a repurchasing function.
The Dyson Chitosan™ Post-Style Serum can be purchased at Dyson Singapore or Sephora Singapore.
