[ REVIEW ] GRAFEN ROOT BOOSTER TONIC

 

If healthy and lustrous hair could be achieved through a single product, then every woman could wear her stunning crown every single day.

So, could Grafen Root Booster Tonic be the answer?

 

In recent years, my main concern has always been hair loss. It is no longer a nightmare, but a bitter reality in my life journey. In all honesty, the fact is, finding a solution to the problem of hair loss is REALLY not an easy thing!

I'd say this is even worse than a breakout on your face.

Hair loss needs to be addressed as soon as possible, and finding the right products is the challenge. I've lost count of how many times I've changed shampoos and conditioners. I've tried various vitamins, essences, and hair serums, too. Unfortunately, the results are not what I expected.

Some products actually work well, like the Jayangyunmo series from Ryo, which I reviewed. Still, I hope there's something else that can deliver better and faster results. Besides, Ryo is already hard to find here.

So I wandered around until I finally found this product. Another Korean brand. Since I had such a good experience with Ryo, why not give this one a try? I've been enjoying a lot of Korean beauty products, and I hope this one does too.

PACKAGING

I love how it features a simple yet classy look. The bottle size is quite handy, considering the weight of the product itself. It also comes in a sturdy outer box, which adds a professional touch.

The product details are printed on the box in both English and Korean. A small seal ensured that the product was secure and brand new when it first reached my hands. I like it, everything looks neat and tidy.

The plastic bottle itself fits perfectly in my hand. However, it feels quite bulky when taken along while traveling, as the spray applicator is rather long. The good news is that the specially designed applicator makes applying the product easier and more precise. Throughout the entire time I used it—right up until the bottle was empty—I didn’t encounter any issues at all with spraying the contents. Everything worked smoothly, with no clogging or any other problems.

 

 

SCENT

My nose is quite sensitive to scents, especially herbal ones. I didn’t like them before, but it seems my nose has gotten used to them since I started using Ryo hair care products. So, well, the herbal scent of the Grafen Root Booster Tonic doesn’t bother me at all.

This is a milder, highly refreshing type of herbal scent. It’s not as pungent as the one from Ryo, and it’s quite soothing. Surprisingly, I actually like it!

 

 

COLOR

Is it bluish or greenish? Not at all. It’s the bottle that’s teal-colored. The product itself has no color—it’s just like regular water, completely transparent.

Well, this is essentially your typical hair serum or essence—it’s colorless and safe to use on any hair color. Wait, do colored hair essences even exist?

 

 

TEXTURE

Once again, it’s just like water. Its texture and consistency are no different. It’s, well, simply water. I don’t think I even need to explain anything.

What you see in the photo above is actually the product itself, not tap water. They look the same, don't they?

 

 

RESULT

My hair type is very dry, while my scalp is oily. My main hair concerns are hair loss and frizz.

 

Grafen Root Booster Tonic claims to provide comprehensive care for the scalp and for hair loss. I figured that if this product works at its best, it should have an amazing effect on my hair and scalp—well, that’s the hope, anyway.

First of all, two thumbs up for the cooling effect. YES, this product cools my scalp and provides a genuine, refreshing sensation every single time I apply it. As someone living in a tropical country, I absolutely LOVE it!

The results for my scalp didn’t disappoint, either. I applied the product every day—or at the very least, almost every single day—and it didn’t make my scalp any oilier or itchier. In fact, to my surprise, I found that my scalp stayed clean for longer with regular use.

I’ve been observing the performance of Grafen Root Booster Tonic from the first time I tried it until now, with the bottle completely empty; unfortunately, perhaps my expectations were a bit too high. This product hasn't had any significant effect on my hair loss. My hair is still falling out, just like before, but the number of strands coming out hasn't increased. I suppose that’s at least something to be grateful for, right?

I noticed baby hairs starting to grow once the bottle was empty. But if the hair keeps falling out, well, doesn't that just amount to the same thing?

It feels like this product is the type that needs to be used as part of a full range, alongside its companion products. Maybe the results will turn out even better. Who knows, right?

I’m holding off on repurchasing for now because I want to try other products for my hair loss first. However, I’ll definitely keep Grafen Root Booster Tonic on my list for summer hair care—the cooling effect is just perfect for me.
