Somang Cosmetics Clinic Treatment
Somang Cosmetics' Clinic Treatment line is a professional-scale hair care range in 1-liter formats.

The range distinguishes between medium-dry and heavy-dry hair types, providing separate shampoo formulations for different levels of dryness and damage.

Somang Cosmetics Clinic Treatment: Professional 1L Hair Care for Dry Hair
Somang Cosmetics is a Korean cosmetics company with both retail and professional hair care lines. The Clinic Treatment range on skinsli covers three large-format products - a 1000ml treatment and two 1-liter shampoos formulated for different degrees of hair dryness. All three are sized for salon-scale or high-frequency at-home use.
What the Clinic Treatment line targets
The Clinic Treatment label in Korean professional hair care indicates a therapeutic-positioning product - formulated for hair that needs repair rather than maintenance. In practice, this means the products in this line contain higher concentrations of conditioning, protein, and moisture-binding ingredients than standard retail shampoos and treatments. They are designed for hair that is visibly dry, damaged from chemical processing (color, perm, relaxer), heat-damaged, or structurally compromised.
The 1-liter format confirms professional intent: at this volume, the products are practical only for salons or for individuals who wash hair daily and use treatment products frequently. At once-daily use, a 1-liter treatment bottle provides approximately 30 to 60 sessions depending on hair length and application amount.
Biedersalon Clinic Treatment 1000ml: the core treatment product
The Biedersalon Clinic Treatment 1000ml is the conditioning treatment in this collection. 'Biedersalon' is Somang's professional sub-brand, indicating a product formulated to salon specification. At 1000ml, it is sized for chair-side salon use where multiple clients per day require treatment application, or for personal use when treatment is applied weekly or more frequently.
Apply after shampooing on wet hair, distribute from mid-lengths to ends (avoid scalp application for most treatment products), and leave for 3 to 10 minutes depending on desired conditioning depth. Rinse thoroughly. For deep conditioning, apply under a processing cap and use a heat cap or hooded dryer for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing. The Biedersalon Treatment is the richest format in this 3-product collection and provides the most intensive repair in a single session.
Clinic Treatment Shampoo Medium Dry 1L: for moderately dry hair
The Clinic Treatment Shampoo Medium Dry 1L is formulated for hair that is moderately dry - hair that is not severely damaged but lacks natural shine, shows seasonal dryness, or is slightly dehydrated from regular shampooing with standard sulfate-based products. 'Medium dry' is a specific hair-type classification, not a description of the shampoo texture.
This shampoo cleanses without stripping the small amount of natural moisture that medium-dry hair retains. At 1 liter, it supports approximately 100 to 150 single washes for medium-length hair (10ml per wash is typical for a moisturizing shampoo). It pairs directly with the Biedersalon Clinic Treatment - use the shampoo first, rinse, then apply the treatment.
Large Capacity Shampoo 1L for Clinic Heavy Dry: for severely dry or damaged hair
The Large Capacity Shampoo 1L for Clinic Heavy Dry is a step up in moisture intensity from the Medium Dry variant. 'Heavy dry' refers to hair that is severely dehydrated and damaged - typically from repeated bleaching, frequent perming, or cumulative heat damage over time. These hair types have significantly compromised cuticles that lose moisture rapidly and need a high-conditioning-load shampoo to cleanse without worsening dryness.
This shampoo deposits conditioning agents during the wash step itself, so the hair begins repair before the treatment product is applied. Use it in the same routine sequence as the Medium Dry shampoo: cleanse, rinse, apply Biedersalon Treatment, leave, rinse. If you are unsure whether Medium Dry or Heavy Dry is the right shampoo for your hair, compare how your hair feels after towel-drying with each - heavy-dry hair feels rough, tangles easily, and breaks under light tension even when wet.
Choosing between Medium Dry and Heavy Dry shampoo
The key difference is the degree of hair damage and dryness. Medium-dry hair retains some natural oil distribution, looks healthy in normal light, and only shows dryness under close inspection or in certain conditions. Heavy-dry hair appears visually dull even after conditioning, breaks during combing when wet, has visible split ends throughout rather than at the tips only, and absorbs product faster than normal hair.
Hair type is not fixed - the same person's hair can be medium-dry in winter and heavy-dry after a round of bleaching. Use the Heavy Dry shampoo during periods of peak damage or dryness, and switch to the Medium Dry for maintenance once hair recovers. At 1-liter volume, it is economically practical to keep both bottles and switch between them as hair condition changes.
Using salon-scale 1-liter products at home
The 1-liter format requires a few practical adjustments for home use. Most pump dispensers that fit a 1-liter bottle are sold separately (some 1-liter professional bottles come with an integrated pump; check the product page). Without a pump, pouring a measured amount into a smaller dispensing bottle simplifies daily use and prevents over-application.
Store professional-size products upright in a dry, cool location away from direct sunlight. Hair treatments at this volume are not travel-sized - they are for daily-use storage at a fixed location. If you travel frequently, decant a week's supply into a 100ml travel bottle rather than carrying the full 1-liter product.
Building a routine with the Somang Cosmetics Clinic Treatment products
A complete routine using the three products in this collection: wet hair thoroughly, apply the appropriate shampoo (Medium or Heavy Dry) to scalp and roots first, work to lengths, lather, and rinse. Follow immediately with the Biedersalon Clinic Treatment from mid-lengths to ends, comb through if hair is very tangled, leave for 3 to 5 minutes (or longer for intensive treatment), then rinse with cool water. Cool water on the final rinse closes the cuticle and adds shine.
Use the treatment every wash for heavily damaged hair, or every other wash for maintenance once hair starts recovering. The 1000ml treatment volume supports extensive use before needing to reorder - at a weekly deep treatment application on medium-length hair, the bottle can last 3 to 4 months or longer.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether to choose the Somang Clinic Treatment Shampoo Medium Dry or the Heavy Dry version?
Medium-dry hair shows dryness seasonally or under specific conditions but generally looks healthy. Heavy-dry hair is visibly dull, tangles and breaks easily when wet, and has split ends throughout the length rather than only at the tips. If your hair feels rough and hard to comb even after conditioning, choose the Heavy Dry shampoo. If dryness is moderate - present but manageable - start with the Medium Dry and assess after 2 weeks of use.
How long should the Biedersalon Clinic Treatment 1000ml be left on hair?
For standard conditioning, leave the treatment on for 3 to 5 minutes after applying to wet hair. For a more intensive repair session, apply to mid-lengths and ends under a shower cap and use warmth (a hooded dryer or a warm towel wrapped around the head) for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing. The heat opens the cuticle slightly and drives conditioning agents deeper. Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle after treatment.
Should the Biedersalon Clinic Treatment be applied to the scalp?
No. Apply the Clinic Treatment to mid-lengths and ends only, avoiding the scalp and root area. Rich conditioning treatments applied to the scalp can clog follicles, contribute to scalp buildup, and cause excess oiliness at the roots. The scalp produces its own sebum; it is the mid-lengths and ends (which do not receive natural oil distribution) that need the treatment. Work from 2 to 3 cm below the roots to the ends.
How many washes does the 1L Somang Clinic shampoo cover?
At a standard amount of 10 to 15ml per wash for medium-length hair, a 1-liter bottle provides approximately 65 to 100 washes. For shorter hair using less product per wash (5 to 8ml), the bottle can last up to 200 sessions. For long or very thick hair requiring 20ml or more per wash, the 1-liter provides roughly 50 sessions. The professional-scale 1-liter format is most cost-effective when you wash hair daily or share a bottle between household members.
Do the Somang Cosmetics 1-liter bottles come with a pump dispenser?
Check the individual product page for the specific bottle format. Some professional 1-liter shampoos and treatments come with integrated pump heads; others require a separately purchased pump insert. If the bottle does not include a pump, a standard 1-liter salon pump (widely available) fits most professional bottle necks and makes daily dispensing more convenient and hygienic.
Is the Somang Clinic Treatment Shampoo safe for color-treated hair?
Both the Medium Dry and Heavy Dry shampoos are formulated for damaged or dry hair, which often includes color-treated hair. They use conditioning-forward formulations rather than stripping alkaline chemistry, which means they are gentler on color than standard high-sulfate shampoos. For best color longevity, use cool or lukewarm water during the final rinse and follow with the Biedersalon Clinic Treatment to seal the cuticle and reduce color fade.
Do Somang Cosmetics Clinic Treatment products ship from the US on skinsli?
Yes. All Somang Cosmetics products on skinsli ship from the US. The 1-liter bottles are heavier than standard retail packaging; check shipping options and costs at checkout for large-format orders. Products arrive with Korean and English labeling. There are 3 products in the Clinic Treatment collection covering the core treatment and two shampoo variants.
