  Pros

  It's great that it's fragrance-free and can be used as both a shampoo and body wash. It has a vegan certification. It's an incredibly large volume. I used it a lot before and even used it to clean the bathroom haha The ingredients all look good, so I bought it. I think I bought it before when I used to shop on iHerb, and now I buy it directly on Coupang. I'm on my second purchase and have used about half of it so far.

  Cons

  1. It doesn't seem to be the cheap synthetic surfactants sold at the mart, and maybe because it doesn't have silicones or something, the lather doesn't come out as well, and my hair doesn't feel as soft after washing. This is a good point, but if you have an oily scalp and don't mind the ingredients, and are fine with using just about anything, this might feel a bit disappointing. 2. If you have any scalp issues, you might want to double-check the ingredients just to be safe. This product itself seems to have good ingredients, but some people may not react well to certain oils, so be sure to read the label carefully. I used to have an oily scalp, and my hair would get really greasy if I didn't wash it. After using this for over 5 months, I've developed seborrheic dermatitis(?), intense dandruff, a smelly scalp, and my hair has gotten even greasier. The dandruff-like flakes are huge and white, and the smell is not just the normal oily hair smell, but a really strange, unpleasant odor. The irregular sleep pattern is most likely the main culprit, but since I've also been hard on my body, I'm wondering if the timing of switching shampoos is also a factor. I'm thinking of trying the Chorok Village Velvet Shampoo from Director's Cut. I'll update my review if the symptoms don't improve after switching shampoos.

  Tip

  It's a good idea to thoroughly wet your hair and do a pre-wash before using this shampoo.
