How to choose GRAFEN hair styling and scalp care
GRAFEN is a Korean men's grooming brand that pairs sea-mineral styling products with scalp-care basics. The range covers the whole routine: pomades and wax for hold, sprays and finishing gel for shape, and shampoo plus treatment to keep the scalp comfortable. This guide walks through the formats we carry so you can match a product to your hair type, your style, and how much hold you actually want.
What GRAFEN makes
GRAFEN sits in the men's hair and grooming space rather than facial skincare. The core idea across the line is sea-water and mineral ingredients used for hold and finish, seen in products like the Seawater Pomade, Seawater Spray, and Seawater Culcream. Around that styling core the brand adds scalp washes, a treatment, a balancing fluid, and small grooming extras such as an eyebrow pencil and a lip product. If you want one brand to handle wash, treat, and style, this range is built for it.
Pomade, wax, and cream: which hold to pick
The styling side splits by texture and finish. The 100g Seawater Pomade gives a slicker, reworkable hold that suits combed and side-part looks. The 100g Seawater Culcream leans softer and more natural for loose, textured styling. Safe Wax 75ml is the matte, grippy option when you want definition and separation without shine. Pick by the look you wear most: shine and control point to pomade, everyday movement points to the cream, and matte texture points to the wax.
Sprays and finishing touches
For shape and staying power, the Seawater Spray 210ml adds volume and a flexible set you can apply before or after styling. The Edge Finger is a small finishing gel made for taming flyaways and tidying the hairline and edges between washes. These are the pieces that lock a style in place once the pomade, cream, or wax has done the heavy lifting, so they pair naturally with the styling products above.
Shampoo and scalp treatment
Styling products are only half the routine. GRAFEN's Hinoki Shampoo 500ml is a daily cleanser scented with hinoki cypress, sized for regular use. The Sika Care Treatment 300ml is the conditioning and scalp-care step that follows the wash. If your scalp feels tight or your styling products build up over the week, working a proper cleanse and treatment into the rotation keeps hair easier to style and the scalp more comfortable.
Where the balancing fluid fits
The Balancing Fluid 150ml is a lighter leave-in style step that sits between washing and full styling. Use it on damp hair to add moisture and a base before you apply hold, or on its own for a low-effort day when you do not want wax or pomade. It is the most flexible item in the line, which makes it a good first pick if you are not sure which heavier styling product suits your hair.
Matching products to your hair type
Thicker or coarser hair tends to take the firmer pomade and wax well, since those formats have the grip to hold heavier strands. Finer or thinner hair usually does better with the Seawater Spray and Culcream, which add volume and texture without weighing hair down or looking greasy. If you switch styles often, keep a wax for matte days and a pomade for polished days; the two cover most looks between them.
Grooming extras in the range
Beyond hair, GRAFEN carries small grooming pieces that round out the brand. The Hansom Eyebrow 0.8g is a brow pencil for shaping and filling, and the Lipsense 3.9g is a lip-care item for everyday use. These are not the reason most people come to the line, but they are handy add-ons if you already trust the brand for styling and want to keep your grooming basics in one place.
Sizes and building a routine
The line is sized for real use rather than samples: shampoo at 500ml and treatment at 300ml for the wash steps, 100g tubs for the pomade and cream, and a 75ml wax that lasts because a little goes a long way. A sensible starter set is one wash product, one styling product matched to your usual look, and a spray or the Edge Finger to finish. From there you can add the treatment or balancing fluid as your scalp and hair tell you what they need.
Authentic Korean stock

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is GRAFEN a Korean brand and what does it make?
Yes. GRAFEN is a Korean men's hair-styling and grooming brand. Its range centers on sea-mineral styling products like the Seawater Pomade and Seawater Spray, alongside scalp-care basics such as the Hinoki Shampoo and Sika Care Treatment. It is a hair and grooming line rather than facial skincare.
Should I get the GRAFEN Seawater Pomade or the Safe Wax?
Pick the pomade for a slicker, reworkable hold with some shine, which suits combed and side-part styles. Choose Safe Wax 75ml for a matte, grippy finish with more texture and separation and no shine. If you wear both polished and casual looks, keeping one of each covers most days.
How is the Seawater Culcream different from the pomade?
The 100g Seawater Culcream is softer and more natural in finish, made for loose, textured everyday styling. The 100g Seawater Pomade holds firmer and shinier for more controlled, structured looks. Finer hair often does better with the Culcream, while thicker hair takes the pomade well.
Can I use the Hinoki Shampoo every day?
Yes, the Hinoki Shampoo 500ml is a daily cleanser scented with hinoki cypress, and the 500ml size is meant for regular use. If you use wax or pomade often, a daily wash helps clear product buildup so hair stays easier to style. Follow with the Sika Care Treatment when your scalp feels like it needs extra care.
What is the GRAFEN Balancing Fluid for?
The Balancing Fluid 150ml is a light leave-in step for damp hair. Use it to add moisture and a styling base before applying hold, or on its own for a low-effort day without wax or pomade. It is the most flexible product in the line and a good starting point if you are unsure which styler suits your hair.
What does the Edge Finger do?
The Edge Finger is a small finishing gel for taming flyaways and tidying the hairline and edges between washes. It is a touch-up tool rather than a main styler, so it pairs with a pomade, wax, or cream that does the primary hold and shaping.
Which GRAFEN products work best for fine or thinning hair?
For finer hair, the Seawater Spray 210ml and the Seawater Culcream add volume and texture without weighing strands down or looking greasy. Heavier pomade and wax tend to suit thicker, coarser hair that needs more grip. Starting light and building up hold lets you avoid a flat, overloaded look.
Are these GRAFEN products genuine Korean stock?
Yes. Every GRAFEN item we list is sourced as authentic Korean stock, so the formulas and packaging match what the brand sells in Korea. We carry 40+ products across styling, washing, and grooming, so you can put together a full GRAFEN routine in a single order.
