Massaging it into your scalp and cleansing thoroughly leaves you feeling refreshed. Personally, I absolutely adore the coconut scent - it's perfect for lifting your mood.
ConsWhile it leaves a nice moisturized feeling, when you dry your hair it tends to fall a bit heavily, so it doesn't provide much volume. It might be ideal for those with thick hair or those looking for a more controlled feel. Using the shampoo alone leaves the hair feeling a bit stiff, so a conditioner is definitely necessary.

ConsIt leaves hair feeling stiff, so using conditioner afterwards is absolutely necessary.

It's rare to find a shampoo with both a great scent and good ingredients, so this product really stands out in that regard.
ConsThe only downside is that the fragrance doesn't last very long. But considering it's far superior to shampoos with artificial fragrances, I'm willing to overlook that.
TipWhen used with the coconut conditioner, the scent is twice as nice!

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.Pros- The best thing about this product is that it lathers well and has great ingredients. - When it's on sale in the Hwahae app, the price is quite reasonable at around 11,900 won! - Thanks to its good lather, the cleansing effectiveness is great. It's also working well for my seborrheic scalp without any issues. - The texture is somewhat gel-like and transparent. It's not runny like water. - I'm using it well during the hot summer months.
Cons- Before buying, I was worried about an issue many reviewers pointed out... After using it, I felt the need to use a conditioner due to a slight stiffness that goes beyond just feeling 'squeaky clean'. However, I quickly got used to it, and after using it a few times, I hardly notice the stiffness anymore. Since I always use conditioner anyway, I'm using this product without much inconvenience. For those concerned about this aspect, I recommend carefully considering your purchase.

Cleansing effectiveness: This shampoo thoroughly cleanses the scalp, leaving it squeaky clean. It's probably better suited for summer than winter use. Rinses out completely without any residue or slippery feeling. The rich lather is a plus! Scent: It has a pleasant coconut scent mixed with something else. The subtle coconut fragrance lingers even after your hair is completely dry. Price: I bought it during a Hwahae sale! It's great that you can get it for under $10 when you catch a good deal.
ConsRinsing: While it effectively removes sebum and oil from an oily scalp, it can leave hair feeling dry and stiff. If you only use this shampoo, your hair might be difficult to comb and shed excessively. Using a conditioner is absolutely essential.
TipRecommended for those who dislike shampoos that leave a slippery residue when rinsing. Perfect for coconut scent lovers or those who prioritize fragrance in their shampoo.

Fragrance The scent is truly amazing... It's a gentle coconut aroma. It's perfectly balanced, not overpowering at all - just the right amount of delightful coconut fragrance! 2. Refreshing feel It leaves your hair feeling squeaky clean. When you wash your scalp with this, you're left with that incredibly refreshing, clean sensation. 3. Lather It produces an impressive amount of foam. The lather is soft and pleasant. I've sometimes felt frustrated with natural or low-pH shampoos that don't lather well and feel a bit greasy, but this one doesn't have that issue at all. I liked it so much that after trying it once, I bought two more bottles! No samples or extras, just the two products I ordered - how refreshingly honest! Somehow, this makes me trust the brand even more.
ConsWhile there's nothing disappointing about the product itself... I can't help but wonder why they don't sell a matching coconut line conditioner. That's the only letdown. Oh, and of course, this shampoo alone isn't enough for my combination to dry scalp and hair. I definitely need to apply a treatment to my locks.

It also lathers up quite well.
ConsWhile it's not stiff, the soft feeling doesn't seem to last very long on the skin.

I've gone through nearly 10 bottles. I used to have a lot of dandruff and occasional blemishes on my scalp, but after using Desert Essence shampoo, all those symptoms disappeared. It lathers up nicely and leaves my hair feeling fresh and clean. Some might find it a bit stiff, but using it with conditioner works well. The conditioner is also great, so I always buy them as a set. The fragrance is lovely too. I loved the coconut scent for its unique, cozy sweetness, but after using it so much, I got a bit tired of it and started trying other scents. I've tried Italian Lemon and Raspberry - both were great. The Raspberry has an extremely sweet scent, almost like candy, which some people might not enjoy.
ConsI've really settled on this shampoo... I wish it was easier to buy in Korea. I'd love to purchase it in larger sizes.
TipIf you found the coconut scent too heavy, try the lemon one. It's a bit more refreshing than the coconut.

It gives a feeling that your hair becomes softer, and you don't need to use much to get a rich lather.
ConsThe dispensing hole feels a bit restrictive. Also, when it's cold, the product freezes and doesn't come out well. In that case, I open the cap to squeeze it out.

I love that it comes in a tube, which made it perfect for my vacation. When I first used it abroad, it felt quite slippery, but I realized it was due to the different water. Back in Korea, it feels just right. It lathers up even better than my previous shampoo. The texture is thick, so a little goes a long way. You don't need much to get a good lather.
ConsI wish the sweet coconut fragrance would linger longer, but unfortunately it doesn't. That's a bit disappointing.
TipThey say as your scalp ages, your face can sag. So make sure to give yourself a scalp massage while shampooing!
