BANANAL Rice Water Protein Shampoo for Thinning Hair, 16.9 fl oz — Volumizing, Biotin + Peptides for Strength

BANANAL Rice Water Protein Shampoo is a Korean-formulated volumizing cleanser that strengthens thin, damaged hair with 10 hydrolyzed proteins, five advanced peptides, and scalp-supporting actives.

This shampoo blends traditional rice water protein with targeted modern actives to create a lightweight, build-free wash that aims to improve hair resilience and visible fullness. The formula layers hydrolyzed proteins for strand repair, peptides commonly used in high-end skin treatments to encourage density, and scalp-focused ingredients—biotin, niacinamide, and salicylic acid—to refresh and rebalance the foundation where hair begins.

How does this shampoo add volume without weighing hair down?

The product uses a combination of small, hydrolyzed proteins and a silicone-free base so strands receive strengthening without the heavy coating that reduces lift. Peptides and proteins temporarily fill and reinforce the hair shaft, which helps create the look of thicker hair from root to tip.

• 10 hydrolyzed proteins (rice, barley, corn, oat, pea, potato, rice bran, soy, almond, wheat) for lightweight strand reinforcement
• Silicone-free formulation to preserve natural body and bounce
• Hinoki Bloom fragrance for a fresh, non-greasy finish

What scalp benefits does it provide for thinning or irritated scalps?

The shampoo targets scalp health with salicylic acid to gently remove buildup and excess oil while niacinamide and biotin work to balance oil production and support a nourished scalp environment. A soothing CICA complex (Centella Asiatica, madecassoside, asiaticoside) plus a botanical blend helps calm sensitivity after cleansing.

• Salicylic acid exfoliates and clears follicles of sebum and residues
• Niacinamide regulates oil balance; biotin supports scalp condition
• CICA complex and 20+ botanicals reduce dryness and irritation

Which hair types and concerns is BANANAL Rice Water Protein Shampoo best for?

Formulated to be gentle enough for daily use, this shampoo suits fine, limp, or thinning hair that needs visible lift and repair without heavy moisturizers. It’s also compatible with color-treated and chemically processed hair since it avoids sulfates, parabens, and silicones that can strip or build up.

• Fine, limp, or visibly thinning hair seeking volume and strength
• Color-treated and chemically processed hair needing gentle care
• Scalps prone to buildup, oiliness, or mild sensitivity looking for a reset

How does the peptide blend contribute compared with ordinary shampoos?

Five targeted peptides—Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1—are included to support stronger-feeling strands and an appearance of improved density. These peptides are often found in premium skincare; in a shampoo they help address structural weakness and visible thinness across hair fibers.

• Peptides support strand integrity and resilience against breakage
• Combination with proteins enhances both surface and internal fiber support
• Formulated for rinsing away cleanly to avoid residue that could flatten hair

Who is this for? If you want a K-beauty inspired shampoo that prioritizes scalp health and visible fullness without silicones or harsh sulfates, BANANAL Rice Water Protein Shampoo is designed for people with fine, thinning, or chemically treated hair who prefer daily-use, science-forward formulations. It’s a practical choice for anyone seeking a gentler, protein- and peptide-rich cleanse that targets both scalp condition and strand strength.
