Kirin Cosmetics

Everything on this shelf is for hair. The coloring side covers the 1 Minute Hair Color, the Poneon 1 Minute foam dyeing and color cream, and a 60ml Black Brown dye. The styling side brings the Galaxy Gelux Super Strong Hair Spray, the Galaxy gel lotion and liquid hair spray, the Asanta Shine Ice hair essence and the Jet Hair Clinic spray. The Nine Milla Cooling Shampoo 500ml handles washing. There is no facial skincare in this range.

Kirin's signature is speed. The 1 Minute Hair Color and Poneon 1 Minute foam dyeing are built to develop in around a minute rather than the usual 20 to 30, aimed at quick root touch-ups and grey coverage between salon visits. The Poneon 1 Minute Hair Color Cream and the 60ml Black Brown dye give you cream and shade options. These are the picks when you want fast, low-effort color at home.

Two application styles run through the color range. Foam dyeing, as in the Poneon 1 Minute foam, lathers up and is easier to spread evenly through longer or thicker hair with your hands. A color cream like the Poneon Hair Color Cream gives you more control for targeted root work or precise sections. Choose foam for whole-head ease and cream for accuracy.

For finishing, the Galaxy range goes for maximum hold. The Galaxy Gelux Super Strong Hair Spray 250ml and the Galaxy Hair Gel Lotion and Super Strong Liquid Hair Spray are built to lock styles in place, the kind of firm finish that holds a sculpted look through the day. Reach for these when soft, flexible hold isn't enough and you want the style to stay put.

Not every finish needs concrete hold. The Asanta New Styling Look Shine Ice Hair Essence 270ml sits at the lighter end, adding shine and a smoother look without the stiffness of a strong spray. The Jet Hair Clinic Spray 265ml is a care-leaning spray. Use these when you want polish and manageability rather than a locked style.

The Nine Milla Cooling Shampoo 500ml is the cleansing step in the range. Cooling shampoos use a menthol-style tingle that suits oily scalps and hot weather, and a 500ml bottle is a normal full-size for regular use. Wash with this before any coloring so the dye takes on clean hair, and on styling days to reset before you start fresh.

Always do the patch test the pack calls for before the first use. Work on dry, unwashed hair where the pack specifies, mix or shake as instructed, apply evenly from roots, and time it by the instructions rather than guessing. Rinse until the water runs clear and condition after. The fast develop time helps, but even coverage still comes from careful application.

Match the finisher to your style. Slicked-back or spiked looks want the Galaxy Super Strong spray or gel lotion for firm hold. Loose, natural styles do better with the Asanta Shine Ice essence for shine without crunch. If you colour and style on the same day, finish with the spray only after the dye is rinsed, dried and styled.

Every Kirin Cosmetics item we list is sourced as genuine Korean retail stock, the same formulas sold in Korea. Hair dye and aerosol sprays carry their own usage and storage notes, so read each product page for the shade, size and any patch-test guidance before ordering. Confirm the shade and format match what you want.
