Color in the shower — Korean dye shampoo for the beauty supply shelf.
GG10's hair-dye shampoo brings Korea's color-depositing format to independent beauty supply stores across the United States: gray coverage and tone refresh during a normal wash — no separate dye session, no gloves, a gentler formula built for customers who color often. Domestic US wholesale, flexible minimums, no international sourcing required. On the record at Korea Gateway.
샤워 중에 색을 입히는 한국의 염모 샴푸를 미국 뷰티 서플라이 매장에 — 별도 염색 없이, 자주 염색하는 고객을 위한 순한 포뮬러. 국제 소싱 절차 없이, 미국 내 도매로. Korea Gateway가 검증하고 기록했습니다.
01 · WHY THIS SHELF, NOW — 왜 지금 이 매대인가
The customer who colors often is your best customer.
Color is a maintenance category, not a one-time purchase. A customer covering grays or refreshing tone comes back on a schedule — which makes color one of the highest-repeat, highest-loyalty shelves in a beauty supply store. The problem has always been friction: dye sessions are messy, harsh, and time-consuming. Korea's color-depositing shampoo removes the friction and keeps the frequency, and it is arriving as demand for gentle, at-home color peaks.

The U.S. is Korea's largest cosmetics export market — and beauty supply is its most under-served hair channel

Traditional box dye asks the customer to schedule a mess. A color shampoo asks nothing — it hides inside a wash they were going to do anyway. The frequency was never the problem; the friction was.
KG MARKET NOTE · 빈도가 아니라 마찰이 문제였습니다
02 · THE FORMAT — 포맷의 원리
Deposit, don't process. Gray fades, doesn't grow out.
A color-depositing shampoo works differently from box dye: instead of a harsh oxidative process that permanently alters the hair shaft, it lays down color gradually with each wash. That single mechanical difference is what solves box dye's four historical problems — and it is where Korean formulation, refined against a large domestic gray-coverage market, does the work.
FIG. 01 — GRADUAL COLOR DEPOSIT, SCHEMATICILLUSTRATIVE · NOT TO SCALE
2-1
No separate dye session WHY IT SELLS · IT HIDES IN A WASH
The color goes on during a normal shampoo — no bowls, no brushes, no timer, no gloves. For the customer, coloring stops being an appointment and becomes part of a wash they were doing anyway.
2-2
Gentler on frequently colored hair WHY IT SELLS · CONDITIONING BASE
Because it deposits rather than oxidizes, the formula is built on a conditioning base — designed for customers who color often and whose hair can't take repeated harsh processing. Korean formulators refined this against a demanding domestic market.
2-3
Fades soft, not a hard line WHY IT SELLS · NO GROW-OUT PROBLEM
Gradual deposit means gradual fade — color washes toward baseline instead of leaving a sharp regrowth demarcation. The customer simply washes again. That fade-and-repeat cycle is the repurchase engine, built into the product.
2-4
Curated, not dumped WHY IT SELLS · GG10 SELECTS FOR THE CHANNEL
GG10 curates its catalog specifically for beauty supply retail — products chosen for quality, performance across diverse hair textures, and shelf sell-through. Available shades, sizes, and case counts are confirmed per order through Korea Gateway sourcing.
03 · CHANNEL FIT — 어느 매대에 놓을 것인가
Three placements that turn color into repeat traffic.
PLACEMENT A
The color wall, gentle tier
Position beside box dyes as the low-commitment option — the customer who wants coverage without the harshness or the session. It expands the color shelf rather than competing inside it.
PLACEMENT B
Gray-coverage endcap
Gray coverage is a scheduled, lifelong purchase. A dedicated endcap for wash-in coverage captures a customer who returns predictably — the definition of retail lifetime value.
PLACEMENT C
Bundle with refresh & volume
Pairs naturally with the GG10 Instantly Fresh & Volumizing collection (Dossier № KH-002) — a between-wash routine that keeps color looking fresh builds a multi-item Korean-hair basket.
04 · THE GG10 MODEL — 소싱 복잡성 제거
Korean products. Domestic wholesale.
The reason most beauty supply stores have never stocked Korean hair products is not demand — it is sourcing friction. Import paperwork, overseas payment, container minimums, unfamiliar suppliers. GG10's model removes the friction entirely:
SOURCING
No international sourcing required. GG10 handles Korea-side curation and import; you purchase domestically in the US, like any other wholesale line.
MINIMUMS
Flexible minimum orders — sized for independent stores, so a test case is a real option, not a container commitment.
FULFILLMENT
Reliable US-side fulfillment — reorders run on domestic logistics timelines, which is what a repeat category requires.
CURATION
Channel-specific selection. Every product is chosen for quality, performance across diverse hair textures, and sell-through in the beauty supply environment specifically.
⚠ REGULATORY NOTE — READ BEFORE ORDERING
Hair colorants are among the most tightly regulated cosmetic ingredients. Permitted color additives, concentration limits, and mandatory label warnings differ across the US (FDA color-additive rules, MoCRA), the EU (Annex III/IV), and other markets. This is a normal, expected part of importing any hair-color product — and it is exactly the kind of check Korea Gateway confirms during sourcing. Colorant compliance for your specific market is verified before an order proceeds, so what reaches your shelf is listing-ready.
