I've used my boyfriend's a few times, and like most shampoo bars, it leaves your hair feeling a bit stiff, so conditioner is a must afterwards.
ConsIt doesn't seem particularly effective at removing excess oil or scalp odor for my boyfriend's oily scalp. Also, it's too soft, so it doesn't last very long.

For short hair, just a couple of quick rubs are more than enough. - Leaves hair feeling soft. Right after washing, hair feels very stiff, but once dry, it's noticeably softer than with other shampoos. - Zero waste. Like all shampoo bars, it's convenient as there's no trash except for the paper bag. No need for recycling. - Pleasant fragrance. While the scent might be a bit strong if you sniff it directly, it's delightfully fragrant when washing. However, the scent doesn't linger long, so keep that in mind if fragrance is important to you.
Cons- Needs drying after each use. I didn't buy the tin case and just hang it on a soap saver, but if I forget and leave it in a damp spot, it melts. Best to keep it away from excessive moisture. - Can be a bit of a hassle. With regular shampoo, you just squeeze and lather, but with a shampoo bar, you need to take it out, rub it on your head, rinse off the lather from the bar, and hang it up to dry. It might just be because I use a soap saver, but it does feel a bit more time-consuming.
TipIt's better not to remove the sticker that comes attached to the bar. It definitely helps the bar last longer and can be useful when the bar gets smaller.

This product completely shattered my preconceptions about shampoo bars. It lathers incredibly well and has been a godsend for improving the blemishes on my scalp that have been bothering me for years. Being solid and compact, it's a must-pack for travel. Using it also eases my conscience about the environment since it doesn't come in plastic packaging.
ConsTowards the end of use, the lemon bits stuck to it fall off messily. As it's in bar form, it tends to break into pieces when you're almost done, making it difficult to use neatly. The worst drawback is that it's made in Japan... sigh...

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 used to be a big fan of Lush solid shampoos, and Montalbano was my favorite for its pleasant scent. It's a reliable product that's easy to use. The cleansing effectiveness is particularly good, and it lathers well. If stored properly, it lasts a long time. A major benefit is not having to use plastic packaging. It's also great for travel as it's lightweight and portable. The lather dissipates quickly, which is a plus. Since Lush is an environmentally conscious brand, I feel confident using their products.
ConsI mainly used the Godiva shampoo tin case, but towards the end, the shampoo always sticks to the case, making it difficult to use. Like others have mentioned, you need to put it in a foam net and dry it separately. This was problematic for me as I mainly used it in a humid bathroom. I usually bought it when traveling to Europe or Japan because it's too expensive in Korea.
TipAbove all, proper care is crucial. Store it in a well-ventilated, dry place. I recommend buying a separate large, shallow tin case or plate for storage.

The pretty grapefruit pieces embedded in it create a refreshing yellow and red color combination. As expected from a shampoo bar, it produces a rich, creamy lather. Additionally, it helps reduce plastic usage, and since there's no need to fiddle with Lush shampoo bottle caps, it prevents nail damage during showers.
ConsThe lather seems slightly less abundant compared to Honey and Jumping Juniper. However, being a shampoo bar, it still produces far more foam and creaminess than regular liquid shampoos. As for the fragrance, it's still barely noticeable.

ConsMy scalp and hair are dry, but I love citrus scents, so I bought the oily hair version just because of the lemon. Yes, that's my mistake

The rich foam cleanses effectively without irritating the scalp.
ConsYou'll need a soap dish or a drying rack that allows water to drain, as the bar softens quickly when wet.
TipFor easy application, rub the bar between your palms and then massage it into your hair to distribute the lather evenly.

It lathers up nicely with rich foam and effectively removes oil, making it a pleasure to use.
ConsAs you use it, there comes a point when the lemon part starts to separate from the shampoo bar. You need to remove it properly at that time (if you miss the timing, the lemon part becomes sticky...).
TipIt's great to use it in a soap saver bag - it's easier to store and creates even better lather!

It lathers up nicely with just a couple of swipes. 2. Despite its small size, it lasts a long time. 3. It has a pleasant scent and cleanses effectively. 4. After drying, hair feels silky and shiny.
Cons1. Being a shampoo bar, it softens easily, so you need to dry it immediately after use. 2. While it's fine for the hair, it can dry out the scalp. 3. The fragrance is nice but doesn't last long.
TipWhen it starts to crumble towards the end, you can put it in a mesh bag to use it up completely without waste.

I chose this as my introduction to solid shampoos and was impressed. It lathers up beautifully with rich, creamy foam. Eco-friendly too, as it's not packaged in plastic. The shampoo bar itself has bits of lemon embedded in it, and it lasts longer than I expected.
ConsInitially, when rinsing with water, it felt a bit stiff, making me think I'd definitely need to follow up with a deep conditioning treatment. However, one day when I was in a rush, I washed with just Montalbano, skipped my usual essence, and quickly dried my hair. Surprisingly, my hair still had a nice shine and no itchiness. The only downside is that the fragrance doesn't last very long...
TipSince it's in bar form, using it with a water-draining sponge or wooden soap dish might help it last even longer.
