Pros
The cleansing power is good It lasts longer than expected when dried well After using other shampoos, I use it about once a week when my scalp gets oily
Cons
The scent seems to be unhealthy ㅠ I'm curious how unhealthy it is Does it get better if I rinse it quickly?

Pros
I used to be a big fan of Lush solid shampoos, and I think Montalbano is the best one in terms of fragrance and versatility. It has great cleansing power and lathers up nicely. As long as you store it properly, it can last a long time. Not having to use a plastic case is a big plus in my opinion. It's also great for travel since it's lightweight to carry around. The lather dissipates quickly, which I like. Since Lush is an environmentally-conscious brand, I feel confident using their products.
Cons
I mainly used the dedicated tin case for my solid shampoo, but towards the end, it would always get stuck to the case, making it difficult to use. Like others, I had to put it in a mesh bag and dry it separately. Since I mostly used it in the wet bathroom, it was a hassle to manage. I usually bought it when traveling to Europe or Japan, as the price is too high in Korea.
Tip
At the end of the day, proper storage and drying is key. I recommend keeping it in a well-ventilated, dry place, and using a shallow tin case or plate to store it.

Pros
The lather forms well and rinsing is effective. There is no irritation to the scalp, and thorough cleansing is possible with the abundant lather.
Cons
A net or soap dish that can be easily drained and dried is necessary.
Tip
Rubbing the hair with the lather on the palm of your hand allows the lather to be evenly distributed, making it easy to use.

Pros
1. Cleansing Power - The Lush shampoo bar seems to have good cleansing power! It feels like it's stripping away the greasiness. 2. Fragrance - There is no lingering fragrance in the hair, but the lemon scent is enjoyable while washing your hair.
Cons
1. Hair Odor - Strangely, the hair odor is quite strong, even though it wasn't as bad when I used the previous shampoo. As soon as I switched to this one, there seems to be a strong smell from the crown of my head. It's there even if I don't wash my hair for a day. There's no greasiness, but the smell is bothersome. 2. Stiffness - It makes my hair extremely stiff. Without a conditioner, it's a real nightmare. It feels like dried tree bark~ People with long hair will probably find it very difficult.
Tip
I'd recommend lathering it up with a loofah or mesh scrubber rather than just rubbing it on your hair!

Pros
1. The lather is sufficiently abundant after just two to three times. 2. The small volume lasts a long time. 3. The fragrance and cleansing power are good. 4. After drying, the hair has a glossy shine.
Cons
1. Since it is a shampoo bar, it is prone to melting, so it must be dried immediately after use. 2. The hair is fine, but the scalp becomes dry. 3. The fragrance is good, but the fragrance does not last.
Tip
Around the time it's used up, it starts to crumble into pieces, but if you put it in an onion mesh bag and use it, you can use it up cleanly 👍🏻

Pros
The lather is rich and the cleansing power is good The refreshing fragrance also lifts my mood
Cons
The refreshing scent is nice, but the fragrance longevity is disappointing. There is a slightly stiff feeling during use, but it becomes smooth once the moisture dries

Pros
The cleansing power is great, and most importantly, there's no scalp odor even until the evening. As I have oily skin, Montalbano suits me perfectly. It's also free of parabens.
Cons
If there's a downside, it's that the soap starts to crack and split after using it a few times.

Pros
The cleansing power is great (likely thanks to the sodium lauryl sulfate) I have an oily scalp, so I used to pre-shampoo and then shampoo again, but this soap was able to solve it in one go The subtle lemon scent while washing makes me feel good It may feel a bit stiff when wet, but there's no issue after drying
Cons
I already have a seborrheic scalp, so I'm sensitive, but this shampoo made my scalp itch like never before... When I first washed it, my scalp kept itching, so I thought something was wrong, but even on the second day, the itching persisted after washing, so I realized it was the shampoo My scalp got a 'pimple bomb' and an insane itch... ㅠㅠ I started using a different shampoo from the third day, but the itching still hasn't gone away +2016.03.16 update By using a smaller amount and gently massaging it into the scalp, and thoroughly rinsing with a shampoo brush, the itching went away! I usually rinse thoroughly, so I wonder if there was residue left, or if my scalp was just sensitive in the winter... I'm not sure ㅠㅠ Anyway, I'm using it well these days! The cleansing power is good, but it doesn't have a big effect on scalp odor. It's average.
Tip
It seems to be optimal for a thick, oily scalp

Pros
For someone like me who washes their hair twice a day, this was great. The cleansing power was top-notch. The shampoo I was using before cost 39,000 won, so the cost-effectiveness was unbeatable.
Cons
Since it's a bar soap, it dissolves quite easily... And the hair does feel a bit stiff, haha.
