Details
A fragrance-free, mildly-acidic (pH ~5.2) hair loss prevention functional shampoo built on 76,000ppm Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and nine peptides, including Copper Tripeptide-1 and four Centella actives.
Sidmool's Dr.Galatok Galatokside Alopecia Shampoo is formulated and labeled by the brand as a hair loss prevention functional shampoo, built around a 76,000ppm Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate complex and nine peptides (Tripeptide-1, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-9, Hexapeptide-11, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5). This is the fragrance-free version — Sidmool removed the scent entirely for a gentler formula — finished with four Centella actives, caffeine, dexpanthenol, niacinamide and salicylic acid, at a scalp-friendly pH of about 5.2.
- Nine peptides including Copper Tripeptide-1 — support the scalp-care formula alongside the Galactomyces ferment complex.
- Hair loss prevention functional shampoo — formulated and labeled by Sidmool for hair loss prevention, built around its Galatokside ampoule complex.
- Fragrance-free and mildly acidic — four Centella actives (Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid) and Salicylic Acid round out the scalp-care profile.
- Rich lather — built on Sodium Coco-Sulfate and mild glucoside surfactants for a thorough, residue-free cleanse.
Hero ingredients: 76,000ppm Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, nine peptides (incl. Copper Tripeptide-1), four Centella actives.
How to use: Wet hair and scalp thoroughly, work a generous amount into a lather, massage into the scalp, then rinse clean. Use daily as part of a scalp-care routine.
Read before you buy: This is a cosmetic hair loss prevention functional shampoo, not a medical treatment, and results vary by person. It contains Sodium Coco-Sulfate and Salicylic Acid among its higher-screened ingredients, so patch test if your scalp is sensitive — a small share of Hwahae reviewers reported itchiness or an allergic reaction. Some reviewers also noted hair feels stiffer after rinsing; pairing with a conditioner helps. The full ingredient list and our risk screening are on this page.

8.8A category-leading vegan, sulfate-free scalp shampoo with biotin and caffeine; ours pairs 76,000ppm Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate with nine peptides including copper tripeptide-1 and four Centella actives, though it uses Sodium Coco-Sulfate rather than a sulfate-free base.
Dr.FORHAIR Folligen Scalp Relief Shampoo

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 77 reviews.
Good for hair loss. This is my second purchase.
I always buy this shampoo, no question. I sent some to my mom too, and she loved it.
I like it because it lathers well and feels gentle. There's no cooling sensation, though. I'll keep using it consistently to see whether it suits my oily scalp.
I finally found a shampoo that's amazing! I'm a cancer patient, and after chemo my hair fell out completely and is now growing back. My hair is thin, weak, and curly, with a lot of white hairs coming in, and my crown has started growing in an odd way that's hard to control. I was worried whether the shampoo ingredients might affect hormones, so I switched and failed several times, but I've finally found one. The ingredients are good and the lather is rich. When it dries, it feels a bit stiff at first, like when I used laundry bar soap, but once it's dry my hair that used to feel rough and dry has become soft, and I was amazed that a single wash with just the shampoo made it this soft. I strongly recommend giving it a try. I'll keep using it and will definitely recommend it a lot in my cancer patient group chat.
I haven't used it much yet, so I'll leave a one-month review. For now I'm satisfied. I found this product through AI and I'm looking forward to it. The packaging and the freebie are nice too.
Good, haha. Yes, thank you!
Using this is why I don't get skin breakouts. Good stuff.
After using one bottle, it seemed like my hair falls out less, so I'm reordering. haha
I wish it came in a 500ml size. I haven't tried many other shampoos, so I'll keep trying this one :^)
Seedmool is always good, good, good ~~~
Good, haha. Yes, thank you! Thanks for your hard work.
It's unscented, which I like. I keep repurchasing it.
It's less irritating, which I like.
My hair seems to be getting a little thinner lately, so I bought this to try.
The lingering scent isn't strong. I was using Cheongmi Jeongdasima before and bought this one. I don't have any major complaints so far. The ingredients are good, so I want to try it.
The cleansing power is good..
This is a product I use all the time.
I bought this on a friend's recommendation. After using it 3 times, I'm not sure if it's just a feeling, but it seems like the amount of hair falling out has decreased :^) I'm posting before-and-after photos of day one and day three. I'll post a review after using it for a month.
First of all, I like that it's unscented! The ingredients are simple, and it helps with hair loss too. I've found that products with too many complicated ingredients can actually be bad for the skin and scalp. I'm going to keep using this one~
Good, good, good~~~
Good for my skin and my scalp too.
I'm using it because it's unscented.
I haven't tried it yet, but the reviews are good so I'm going to give it a shot.
I can't really tell yet, but I hope it works for hair loss.
I've always used this one, so I sent it to my mom's place too. The product is good.
I haven't used it yet since I still have my old shampoo, but I hope it's gentle and doesn't irritate my scalp. I'll try the sheet mask too. :)
It's unscented, so I like it. I'm repurchasing.
🤍 SIDMOOL Hair Loss Shampoo: It's more expensive than drugstore shampoo but cheaper than salon shampoo, so I bought it, and my scalp feels healthier. I liked it so much that I repurchased. It works better for me than the tea tree shampoo, and I like the packaging! 🖤 SIDMOOL toothpaste: Now I'm switching my toothpaste to SIDMOOL too. It's not spicy, and it's fluoride-free, so it's easy to recommend to others~ 🤍 Hair therapy: My hair is long so I use a lot of essence. L'Oréal and Olive Young essences are expensive, and this SIDMOOL hair essence is the best.. 🖤 Kakaduamino: I bought this for the first time to use as a body wash. It's a huge size! I can use it for hand wash, body wash, and more, so it's great :)
My hair and skin have changed since I stopped using it. I'll keep using it.
Thank you so much! I really appreciated the thought you put into this. I'll support you as a regular customer :)
This is the shampoo my dad always uses~~~ The SIDMOOL ingredients and ratios are always good, SIDMOOL forever~~~
It's decent and seems usable.
It lathers well and it's unscented, so I really like it. Thank you for including a lot of freebies. This is my first time using SIDMOOL shampoo, and I'm satisfied with both the product and the service. I'll order again next time~^^
I didn't know what it would smell like, so I bought two: this one and the unscented one. The floral scent is fresh and pleasant, I think.
I like its cleansing power and the fact that it's said to be good for hair loss, and it has high ratings, so I bought it~ It feels a little stiff, but since it doesn't leave residue, I like it even more.
I tried it before and thought it was pretty good, so I'm going to use it again.
I recommended it and gave it to my dad, and he's very happy with it~~
I tried a sample first and then bought it.
It cleans well and I like that it's unscented.

Read as fit cues: this is a clarifying, sulfate-based scalp shampoo, so a few reviewers found hair felt stiffer or squeaky afterward — pairing with a conditioner softens the finish. The allergic-reaction and itchiness reports are a minority within 15 reviews; patch test first since the formula carries two mid-risk ingredients (a primary cleansing surfactant and salicylic acid). Hwahae's listing aggregates this shampoo's scented and fragrance-free versions under one product page — scent-specific topics were excluded here since this SKU has no added fragrance.
Good fit if
- Anyone wanting a fragrance-free, mildly-acidic scalp shampoo for a hair-thinning-care routine
- Scalp buildup you want to clear with a rich-lathering wash
- Anyone sensitive to fragrance in scalp products
Not for you if you want
- Overnight change — scalp-care effects build with regular, consistent use over time
- A scented, spa-like wash — this is the fragrance-free version by design
- Soft, conditioned lengths from shampoo alone — pair with a conditioner since some reviewers found hair feels stiffer after rinsing
