OVERTE: Buying Guide for Herbal Infusion Professional Hair Care
OVERTE is a Korean professional hair care brand whose core identity is herbal infusion - plant and botanical extracts delivered at professional concentrations in shampoos, gel treatments, ampoules, and styling products. The 10+ products at skinsli cover a complete professional hair care system: cleansing, conditioning treatment, intensive ampoule treatment, hold sprays, a scalp and hair oil, and a non-polar hair color. This guide explains each category and how to use the products together.
About OVERTE and Herbal Infusion Hair Care
OVERTE's product range centers on herbal infusion - a process of extracting active compounds from herbs at high concentration for use in hair care formulas. The brand labels its key products as Natural Organic and Premium Herbal Infusion to indicate the quality tier of the botanical extraction. The professional 1000ml formats suggest primary use in hair salons, though the products work equally well for home users who wash their hair frequently.
The range covers the full professional treatment sequence: shampoo to cleanse, gel treatment to condition, ampoules for intensive repair, sprays for styling hold, and argan oil as a finish or treatment product. The Ecocala hair color extends the range into hair coloring accessories.
Natural Organic Herbal Infusion Shampoo 1000g: Daily Cleanse
The Natural Organic Herbal Infusion Shampoo 1000g is the core cleansing product in the OVERTE range. The organic herbal infusion formula cleans without stripping the scalp's natural oils, balancing removal of buildup with preservation of moisture. At 1000g it is a professional supply size, suited for frequent washers or household multi-user use.
This shampoo works as the first step before any treatment. It is available as a standalone or as part of the Herbal Infusion Shampoo Treatment Set 1000ml, which bundles it with the gel treatment for a ready-to-use routine purchase.
Herbal Infusion Gel Treatment 1000ml: Deep Conditioning
The Natural Organic Herbal Infusion Gel Treatment 1000ml is the conditioning step after shampooing. "Gel treatment" in Korean professional hair care refers to a rinse-out conditioner with a gel consistency that penetrates the hair shaft more effectively than cream-based conditioners. At 1000ml it matches the shampoo's professional supply size, maintaining the ratio needed for a consistent routine.
Apply to damp hair after shampooing, from mid-length to ends. Leave for three to five minutes, then rinse. For damaged or chemically treated hair, extend the leave-on time under a shower cap. The Premium Herbal Infusion Shampoo Gel Treatment Set bundles the two products together if you prefer the convenience of a pre-assembled shampoo-plus-treatment pair.
Herbal Infusion Ampoules 15ml: Intensive Repair
OVERTE offers the Herbal Infusion Ampoule in two configurations: a single 15ml ampoule and a 12-piece box (Organic Herbal Infusion Hair Nutrition Ampoule 15ml 1BOX 12EA). Hair ampoules are highly concentrated treatments applied before shampooing or as a leave-in additive. Each 15ml ampoule provides one to two concentrated treatment sessions.
The 12-piece box provides a sustained treatment program - roughly four to twelve weeks of ampoule use at one to three times per week depending on your hair's condition. Apply the ampoule to dry hair before washing, massage in, leave for ten to twenty minutes, then shampoo and condition as normal. Alternatively, mix a small amount into the gel treatment for an intensified conditioning step.
Eco Hold Water and Strong Sprays 200ml: Styling Hold
OVERTE offers two Eco Hold styling sprays: Water Spray 200ml for light hold and Strong Spray 200ml for firmer control. Both are eco-formulated sprays suited for salon or home use. The Water Spray provides a flexible, touchable hold with a natural finish - suited for everyday styling where you want structure without stiffness. The Strong Spray sets and holds more firmly, suited for styles that need to stay in place through the day.
Both sprays can be used on dry or slightly damp hair. Spritz at arm's length for even coverage. The 200ml size is a compact everyday format appropriate for a bathroom shelf or styling kit.
OVERTE Argan Oil 80ml: Finishing and Treatment
Argan oil is a Moroccan plant oil rich in vitamin E and oleic acid, widely used in professional hair care for frizz control, shine, and dry hair repair. The OVERTE Argan Oil 80ml sits at the higher end of typical single-use argan oil sizes (most consumer products are 30-50ml). It can be used in two ways: as a pre-shampoo treatment on dry hair before washing to add moisture before the cleansing strips natural oils, or as a finishing oil applied to towel-dried or dry hair to seal the cuticle and add shine.
For finishing, warm one to two drops between your palms and distribute through the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid the scalp to prevent greasiness. For pre-treatment, apply more generously and leave for fifteen to thirty minutes before shampooing.
Ecocala Non-Polar Hair Color 85g: Very Dark Brown
The OVERTE Ecocala 85g is a non-polar hair color in the shade Very Dark Brown (3.0). Non-polar in Korean hair color chemistry refers to a formula that works without the stripping or harsh oxidation of standard permanent colors. It suits covering gray or darkening existing color without the damage profile of bleach-lift applications.
The 85g format provides one to two full applications depending on hair length and thickness. It requires a compatible developer to activate. This product is in the professional coloring category; follow the mixing instructions on the packaging and perform a strand test before full application. The Herbal Ingredients labeling indicates botanical conditioning agents in the formula to reduce color-related damage.
OVERTE Set Options: Pre-Bundled Purchases
Two set options appear in the OVERTE assortment: the Herbal Infusion Shampoo Treatment Set 1000ml (shampoo plus gel treatment together) and the Premium Herbal Infusion Shampoo Gel Treatment 1000ml Set. Both bundle the daily cleanse and conditioning treatment in one purchase, ensuring you have both products at 1000ml scale without having to select them individually.
The sets are practical entry points for buyers who want to start an OVERTE routine without building it product by product. After using up the set, you can reorder shampoo and treatment separately at the ratio that works for your usage pattern.
Building a Complete Routine with OVERTE Products
For a full OVERTE hair care routine: on intensive treatment days (one to three times per week), apply the Herbal Infusion Ampoule to dry hair before washing. Then shampoo with the Natural Organic Herbal Infusion Shampoo, apply the Gel Treatment, rinse out. After towel-drying, apply a small amount of Argan Oil to the mid-lengths and ends. Style with the Eco Hold Water Spray for everyday hold or Eco Hold Strong Spray for firmer styles.
On non-intensive days, skip the ampoule and go directly to shampoo and gel treatment. Using the Argan Oil as a daily finish is appropriate for dry or treated hair; for oily hair, use it only on the ends or skip on oilier days.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is OVERTE's approach to hair care?
OVERTE is a Korean professional hair care brand built around herbal infusion formulas. The brand extracts botanical actives at high concentration and delivers them through shampoos, gel treatments, ampoules, and styling products. All core products come in 1000ml professional sizes. The range covers cleansing, conditioning, intensive repair, styling hold, and argan oil finishing.
How do I use the OVERTE Herbal Infusion Ampoule 15ml and how often?
Apply the ampoule to dry hair before shampooing. Distribute through the lengths and scalp, massage in, and leave for ten to twenty minutes. Then shampoo and follow with the gel treatment as normal. For very damaged hair, use two to three times per week. For maintenance on healthy hair, once weekly is sufficient. Alternatively, mix a few drops into the gel treatment for a milder boost without a dedicated pre-shampoo step.
Is the 12-piece ampoule box better value than buying single OVERTE Herbal Infusion Ampoules?
Yes. The Organic Herbal Infusion Hair Nutrition Ampoule 15ml 1BOX 12EA provides twelve units, which at two to three uses per week covers four to six weeks of intensive treatment, or a longer period at once-weekly use. Buying the box reduces the per-unit cost versus individual ampoules. If you are starting a repair program for damaged hair, the box provides enough supply to see meaningful results before running out.
What is the difference between the OVERTE Eco Hold Water Spray and Eco Hold Strong Spray?
The Eco Hold Water Spray provides light, flexible hold with a natural finish. It suits everyday styling for casual looks that allow movement and touch. The Eco Hold Strong Spray delivers firmer hold suited for structured styles that need to stay in place through a full day. Both are 200ml eco-formulated sprays. Use water for everyday styles; switch to strong for formalwear, heat-sensitive styles, or humid conditions where lighter hold fails.
Should I apply the OVERTE Argan Oil 80ml to my scalp?
No. Argan oil applied to the scalp can cause buildup and increase greasiness, especially for oily scalps. Apply it only to the mid-lengths and ends where dryness, frizz, and breakage concentrate. For a pre-shampoo treatment, you can apply more broadly and wash it out; in that case, scalp application is fine because you are removing the oil with shampoo afterward.
What does non-polar mean for the OVERTE Ecocala hair color?
Non-polar in Korean hair color chemistry refers to a formulation that does not rely on the harsh oxidative chemistry of standard permanent colors. It covers and deposits color with less structural damage to the hair shaft than conventional permanent dye. The Ecocala Very Dark Brown 3.0 is suited for gray coverage or darkening existing color without the damage caused by strong bleach-lift processes.
Is the OVERTE Herbal Infusion Gel Treatment different from a regular cream conditioner?
Yes. Gel treatments use a gel consistency rather than a cream emulsion. The gel format typically has a lower lipid content and relies on water-based actives, which penetrate the hair shaft more directly than the heavier emollients in cream conditioners. This makes gel treatments effective for providing moisture and repair without leaving a heavy residue, and they tend to work better for fine or medium hair that cream conditioners can weigh down.
Is it better to buy the OVERTE Herbal Infusion Shampoo Treatment Set or buy the products separately?
The set is convenient if you are starting with OVERTE for the first time and want both products at once at the 1000ml size. Buying separately is better if your usage rates differ - for example, if you go through shampoo faster than treatment because you use more per wash, buying them separately lets you reorder at the right pace for each. Both approaches provide the same formula quality.
Is the OVERTE herbal infusion system suitable for bleached or heavily damaged hair?
Yes. The combination of the gel treatment and the LPP-style ampoule approach is well suited for bleached or chemically damaged hair that has lost protein and moisture. The ampoule provides concentrated repair before washing; the gel treatment conditions after. For severely damaged hair, use the ampoule three times per week and extend the gel treatment leave-on time to ten minutes. The herbal botanical actives support repair without the harsh chemicals that further damage fragile hair.
How much OVERTE Argan Oil 80ml should I use for frizz control?
Start with one to two drops for short to medium hair, and two to three drops for long hair. Warm between your palms, then distribute through the mid-lengths and ends on towel-dried or dry hair. For very coarse or frizzy hair, you can increase to three to four drops. The 80ml bottle contains enough for several months of daily finishing use at these amounts.
