How this pick earned its score
Every ingredient is graded on an EWG-style scale, then weighted with our own use-experience and curation read into one Dhaliora score.
The category's best sellers below are scored with the same formula.

A sulfate-free, weakly-acidic anti-hairloss functional shampoo with salicylic acid, niacinamide and biotin, positioned by the brand for postpartum and pregnancy-related shedding.

Why ours wins — A gentle bond-building repair shampoo, but it targets breakage and adds fragrance, where ours is a salicylic-acid anti-hairloss scalp treatment.

Why ours wins — A sulfate-free hydrating shampoo for colored hair, but lacking scalp actives, where ours pairs salicylic acid and biotin for hair-loss relief.

Why ours wins — An effective anti-dandruff shampoo, but built on harsh SLS and SLES sulfates and fragrance, where our gentler formula targets hair-loss.

Why ours wins — A category-leading vegan, sulfate-free hair-loss-relief shampoo with biotin and caffeine, a strong rival, though ours leans on salicylic acid and a postpartum positioning.

Why ours wins — A long-running #1 sulfate-free, weakly-acidic hair-loss-relief shampoo with zinc pyrithione and biotin, very close on actives to ours.

Why ours wins — A protein damage-repair shampoo for dry ends, but built on SLES and skipping the scalp anti-hairloss actives ours centers on.

Our take
A gentle, sulfate-free anti-hairloss shampoo the brand aims at new and expecting mothers. It clarifies the scalp and supports fuller-feeling hair with salicylic acid, niacinamide and biotin, lathering well without harsh sulfates, and it is a #2-ranked scalp-care shampoo on Hwahae and 2026 Hwahae award winner. Best for anyone dealing with shedding or an oily, flaky scalp who wants a mild daily wash; note the pregnancy-safe angle is the brand's positioning rather than a medical certification, the fragrance screens higher-risk, and hair can feel stiff, so follow with a conditioner or the brand essence.
Worth knowing
- Contains a strong fragranceIts fragrance screens as the one higher-risk ingredient, and it also contains salicylic acid and menthol, so patch test if your scalp is sensitive.
- Can leave hair feeling stiffThe most common complaint is stiff or rough hair after washing, the brand pairs it with a follow-up essence; a conditioner helps.
A clarifying scalp-care shampoo for a cleaner, healthier-feeling scalp.
Across 406 Hwahae reviews the strongest signals are a rich, cleansing foam and a fresher, healthier-feeling scalp with regular use.
