The scent doesn't linger too strongly, which is perfect for those who dislike overpowering hair fragrances. Being silicone-free, it leaves your hair feeling light after washing. Compared to other high-quality shampoos, it's less likely to make your hair feel stiff and maintains a relatively soft texture. The large volume is a big plus, allowing for long-term use.
ConsWhile the fragrance doesn't linger much, there are times when you might notice a distinct oil scent. Those who prefer a subtle scent might actually prefer this, but if you're someone who loves hair that exudes a strong fragrance, this might not be your style. The packaging is a bit frustrating - the pump isn't particularly luxurious. However, considering the price point, we should probably be grateful.
TipIt works well when used with the conditioner... Though I'm not sure if the conditioner has been discontinued or not. It seems to be occasionally in stock. If you spot it, stocking up would be a smart move.

It's truly amazing! I'll probably use this as my pre-wash shampoo forever due to its low price and good ingredients Quality ingredients - Even YouTubers recommend it for its well-balanced formula! Subtle fragrance - It has a delicate herbal scent
ConsThe downside is... it wasn't particularly effective for scalp blemishes. It works well when used alongside another shampoo with active ingredients. Also, it's slightly disappointing that the fragrance doesn't last very long
TipSince pre-wash shampoo requires a larger amount, this is perfect for that purpose!

(I often watch YouTuber Director Pi, and she recommended this shampoo, which I was secretly pleased about.) ※Excellent price-performance ratio The price is reasonable for the amount you get. I believe I purchased it for just over 10,000 won for 1kg.
Cons※Cleansing power is weaker compared to regular shampoos With typical shampoos, it takes quite a while for my hair to get oily after washing, but with this one, I feel like my hair gets greasy by the second day. I've heard that if the cleansing power is too strong, it can irritate the scalp and cause dryness, so I'm quite satisfied with this level. However, those with oily scalps should be cautious. ※The scent fades quickly and hair odor returns faster I washed my hair with this in the morning before meeting my mom, and by evening, she sniffed near my head and asked if I hadn't washed my hair, which was a bit shocking... She's particularly sensitive to smells, but hearing that comment less than 12 hours after washing was... Still, I personally can't tell - my hair doesn't seem to smell to me... I chose ingredients over fragrance.
TipIf it's been more than three days since you last washed your hair, make sure to shampoo twice... Once just won't cut it! If you have very oily hair, you might want to reconsider using this product!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI have thick, curly hair and used to just grab any shampoo without much thought, figuring a good treatment would do the trick. I've tried Aveda, Origins, Mise-en-Scene, and even herbal shampoos. Looking back, I realize I didn't really know what worked for me or what was important. Ingredients: It's a mildly acidic shampoo with plant-derived surfactants, which piqued my interest as potentially good for the scalp. After all, chemical ingredients are our biggest concern, right? Scent: The fragrance is a natural herbal scent, not artificial at all. It reminds me of Origins' ginger shampoo. It doesn't linger long though, so if you're after that lasting fresh-shampooed smell, this might not be for you. It just gives a nice mood boost while washing. Cleansing effectiveness: The lather is a bit ambiguous - it seems to foam well, then not so much. For a natural shampoo, it's decent, but not quite enough for that squeaky clean feeling. You might need to thoroughly wet your scalp first. Post-wash: Right after shampooing, my hair definitely feels softer. However, with all the fine dust in the air these days, it's hard to avoid that dry, dusty feeling after being outside. Can't blame the shampoo for that! I'm curious how it would work as a set with the matching treatment.
ConsThe scent doesn't last long. Don't expect an intensely refreshing scalp care experience. Also, where can you even buy this?
TipSince it doesn't lather much, using a scalp brush alongside this shampoo works wonders.

With its mild herbal scent and moderate lather, it caused minimal irritation during washing. After using Kundal shampoo, which gave me severe scalp inflammation I never had before, causing itchiness and odor by evening even after morning washes, I tried Fresh Pop Mojito and Saenghwaldogam shampoos. While both had their merits, Alpist felt the most comfortable in terms of fragrance and overall experience. Though my hair feels a bit stiff right after washing, once fully dry, it becomes soft. I tend to have lots of flyaways, but Alpist leaves my hair more manageable and easier to style. The best part is that without much fuss, consistent use has alleviated my itching.
ConsI only realized it was an Aekyung product after receiving it. Despite being a good shampoo, I probably won't purchase it again. The herbal scent (rosemary + tea tree? mint?) while washing is nice, but it's only present during the wash. The fragrance doesn't linger at all. The brown bottle with the white sticker depicting mountains is pretty, but the overall front design, including the font choice, is underwhelming...
TipThe key with most shampoos that have good ingredients is to use them consistently, even if you don't see immediate results.

The scent is lovely too. After washing, my hair feels silky smooth.
ConsThere's not really anything to complain about. Perhaps just that the fragrance doesn't linger for very long?

My hair is natural, medium-thick, and quite voluminous, having never been permed or dyed. Even without conditioner, the finish was great. One pump produces plenty of lather, leaving hair neither stiff nor slippery - just perfectly bouncy and healthy-feeling. The scent is a subtle herbal aroma, though it doesn't linger long. What really stood out was how incredibly gentle it is on the scalp. There's absolutely no tightness or irritation - it's so mild you might wonder if you've even washed your hair! This gentleness might explain why my husband, who has an oily scalp, felt his hair got greasy again quickly. Personally, I love how non-irritating it is. With all the fine dust in the air lately, I sometimes wash my hair twice a day, and this shampoo makes that totally manageable. I've noticed less hair fall both during washing and drying. I think this is because the softer finish means less breakage when brushing. As a Hwahae Tester, I'd definitely repurchase this. I'll update my review after using it longer.
ConsThe fragrance doesn't seem to neutralize scalp odor for very long. It's a shame I can't share it with my husband who has an oily scalp.
TipMake sure to wet your hair thoroughly for the best lather. Since the scent fades quickly, you can easily layer your favorite hair perfume or scented essence without worrying about clashing fragrances. It's a great way to turn a potential downside into an advantage!

(Rating out of 5 stars) Hair texture improvement ★★★★ Ingredients ★★★★ User experience ★★★★ One of the things I liked was the improvement in hair texture. I intentionally tried using just the shampoo without conditioner, and my hair still felt smooth and not stiff at all. I usually wash my hair at night, and when I woke up, my hair didn't feel stiff or dry, which was great. Regarding ingredients and user experience: I checked the Hwahae app and it passed due to the absence of harmful ingredients. As for the user experience, natural products (like Lush shampoo bars) often don't lather well and can be difficult to wash out, but this one lathers nicely. Although it's mildly acidic, it gives a thorough cleansing feeling, which I really like.
ConsFragrance ★★★ Scalp improvement ★★ First, the scent is a herbal blend with rosemary notes. I personally enjoy this type of fragrance, so it made shampooing a pleasant experience. However, it's disappointing that the scent doesn't last long. Regarding scalp health, even though it's mildly acidic, using products with too many surfactants usually makes my scalp itchy after a day... Initially, it felt refreshing after washing, but the next day, I experienced some itchiness. (Some people say this improves over time, so I'll update my review if it changes.)
TipPro tip: Try dividing your hair into sections - sides, front, and back - when washing. This helps create a better lather and seems to clean more effectively!

I noticed that the next day, my scalp had less of an odor.
ConsThe lather doesn't last as long as regular shampoos, which makes it a bit inconvenient as it seems to disappear faster. I couldn't really tell if the fragrance was pleasant or if my hair texture improved.
