I’ve used ROOTON’s Alpha Erguen Shampoo, and what stands out to me is how fresh and voluminous my hair feels after washing. That fuller, airy feeling is what I appreciate about it.
If you’re exploring ROOTON hair care, the shampoo is only one part of the range. These five products have different jobs: cleansing, conditioning, scalp care, finishing, and a more involved treatment step. My shampoo impressions are firsthand; the other four selections are based on product information rather than personal use. You don’t need all five to put together a useful routine.

1. Alpha Erguen Shampoo: The One I’ve Used
The shampoo is the product I can speak about from experience. After washing, my hair feels fresh, fuller, and more voluminous. For me, that makes it an appealing option when I want my hair to have a little more lift rather than feel flat.
ROOTON positions Alpha Erguen Shampoo as part of its scalp-focused range. My reason for including it here is simpler: I like the way my hair feels after washing. I haven’t measured a change in shedding or growth, so those aren’t results I’m claiming.
Who might consider it: Someone comparing shampoos who cares about a fresh, fuller-feeling finish.
Pros
- The post-wash freshness and volume are qualities I personally noticed.
- It fills a familiar role: the cleansing step, rather than another treatment to fit into a routine.
Cons / before buying
- My experience won’t predict how it will feel on your hair.
- Check the current ingredient list and directions, especially if you already know certain fragrances or ingredients don’t suit you.
2. Alpha Erguen Treatment: A Separate Conditioning Step
Despite the word “treatment,” this is the rinse-out conditioning product in the Alpha Erguen group, rather than another shampoo. ROOTON’s Korean product information describes a cream-format product used after cleansing and then rinsed out.
The practical question is whether you want a separate conditioner alongside your shampoo. If you already have one that leaves your hair manageable, you don’t need to replace it just to match the brand on the bottle.
Who might consider it: Someone choosing a rinse-out conditioner after shampooing, with interest in ROOTON’s hair-and-scalp positioning.
Pros
- Its conditioning role is distinct from the cleansing role of the shampoo.
- It offers a comparison point if you’re choosing between a ready-to-use rinse-out step and a capsule treatment that needs mixing.
Cons / before buying
- It needs rinsing; it isn’t interchangeable with a scalp spray or finishing oil.
- Check your package’s directions. Retailer descriptions can differ, so don’t apply instructions for a spray tonic to a bottle of cream conditioner.
3. Alpha Erguen Hair Tonic: An Optional Scalp Step
The Hair Tonic is the scalp-focused option in this group. It makes more sense to compare it with other scalp products than with a conditioner or an oil for the ends of your hair.
I haven’t used this one. I’d treat it as an optional addition rather than the missing piece everyone needs. Before adding it, be clear about what you want from it and whether another product in your routine already serves that purpose.
Who might consider it: Someone specifically looking into a scalp tonic, rather than simply wanting softer hair lengths.
Pros
- Its scalp application has a different purpose from a hair-length finishing product.
- You can assess it independently; buying the shampoo doesn’t mean you need the tonic too.
Cons / before buying
- It adds another application step.
- Follow your exact package for application, amount, and frequency. Marketing alone doesn’t establish that it will treat the cause of thinning or shedding.
4. Regresar Essence Hair Oil: For the Lengths and Ends
Regresar Essence Hair Oil belongs on the hair-finishing side of this comparison. ROOTON’s regional directions describe application from the mid-lengths to the ends, which sets it apart from the scalp-focused tonic.
There’s a useful formula distinction to keep in mind: “hair oil” doesn’t necessarily mean a bottle of pure botanical oils. Ulta’s published ingredient list includes silicones alongside plant oils. If avoiding silicones matters to you, check the current package rather than relying on a plant-focused product title.
Who might consider it: Someone looking for a separate smoothing or finishing product for the lengths and ends.
Pros
- It addresses a different part of the routine from scalp care.
- You can consider it on its own if your shampoo and conditioner already work for you.
Cons / before buying
- The published formula may not suit someone specifically seeking a silicone-free or fragrance-free product.
- I haven’t tested its texture or finish. Use the amount directed on your package rather than assuming an oil will feel lightweight on every hair type.
5. Limpio Capsule Cream: The More Involved Option
Limpio Capsule Cream is the option to look at if you’re interested in a treatment with a preparation step. Ulta describes a liquid formula that is mixed with cold water, becomes cream-like, and is rinsed out after application.
That format is the main distinction here. It takes more preparation than dispensing conditioner from a pump bottle. I’d compare it with your existing rinse-out treatment before assuming it belongs alongside one at every wash.
Who might consider it: Someone who wants to explore a water-activated treatment and doesn’t mind mixing it before use.
Pros
- The format gives it a clear point of difference from the pump-bottle treatment.
- It can be assessed as an alternative treatment step rather than an automatic extra purchase.
Cons / before buying
- Mixing and rinsing make it less convenient than a ready-to-use product.
- Confirm the number of vials and total amount in the listing you’re buying. A single-vial size display doesn’t, by itself, confirm a six-vial pack.
How to Choose Without Buying Everything
Start with the job you actually need a product to do.
- A cleansing step: Compare the shampoo with what you already use. My experience here is about the fresh, voluminous feeling afterward.
- Conditioning after washing: Compare the Alpha Erguen Treatment with your current conditioner. You don’t have to match brands.
- A scalp-focused addition: Consider the tonic separately and check its directions and ingredients.
- A finishing step for the lengths: Look at the hair oil if that is the gap in your routine.
- A different treatment format: Consider the capsule cream if its mixing step appeals to you, rather than automatically stacking it with another conditioner.
There isn’t a universal five-product order to follow. Use the directions on the version you buy, and add one unfamiliar product at a time so it’s easier to judge how it feels. If your current routine already leaves your hair comfortable and manageable, keeping it is a reasonable option.
Fuller-Looking Hair and Hair Loss Are Different Questions
My shampoo experience is about appearance and feel after washing. It doesn’t tell us whether a product changes the number of hairs growing or addresses the reason for shedding.
The American Academy of Dermatology explains that hair-loss shampoos may make hair look fuller or lessen breakage, but they cannot regrow hair or prevent hair loss from worsening. For new mothers, the AAD also describes postpartum shedding as commonly temporary. That context matters when a product title makes a routine hair-care purchase sound like a medical solution.
If shedding is your main concern, a dermatologist can help identify the cause. Don’t use this comparison to diagnose it or assume a change in how your hair feels proves a treatment worked.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ROOTON shampoo, treatment, and hair tonic?
The shampoo is the cleansing step. Alpha Erguen Treatment is a rinse-out conditioning product, while the Hair Tonic is intended for scalp-focused application. They aren’t three versions of the same product. Choose based on the role you’re trying to fill, and use the directions on your particular package rather than copying instructions between them.
Do I need all five ROOTON hair care products?
No. You may only be interested in the shampoo, or in a conditioner or finishing product to use with something you already own. The tonic and capsule cream are additional options, not requirements. A shorter routine you understand is more useful than buying the full list without knowing what each step adds.
Should Regresar Essence Hair Oil be applied to the scalp or hair lengths?
ROOTON’s regional product directions describe use on the mid-lengths and ends. In this guide, it’s a hair-finishing option rather than a scalp treatment. Follow your own bottle’s directions, and don’t assume the word “oil” makes it suitable for every scalp or every way you might use a plain plant oil.
How is Limpio Capsule Cream different from regular conditioner?
Its preparation is the main difference. Ulta’s directions describe mixing the liquid with cold water before applying the cream-like mixture and rinsing it out. A regular pump-bottle conditioner is ready to dispense. Follow the instructions and mixing ratio supplied with your version, and check whether you’re buying an individual vial or a multipack.
Can ROOTON products treat hair loss or postpartum shedding?
This guide doesn’t establish that they can. My shampoo account concerns freshness and volume after washing, and I haven’t personally tested the other four products. The AAD distinguishes cosmetic improvements in fullness from hair regrowth and explains that postpartum shedding is often temporary. Persistent or concerning shedding deserves an assessment of its cause rather than a guarantee based on a product name.
Can ROOTON products be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
I can’t confirm that these five exact versions are suitable for everyone during pregnancy or breastfeeding. A product title saying “pregnancy safe” isn’t enough to make that determination. Take the current ingredient list and directions to your obstetrician, dermatologist, or other qualified clinician for advice that fits your circumstances. This guide doesn’t provide a pregnancy-safety endorsement.
Take what’s useful. Choose what fits.
