It contains persimmon tree charcoal, kelp, and mud, and it's free from sulfate surfactants. Apparently, the ingredients are imported from Germany and the product is manufactured in Korea. The product effectiveness seems great. In summer, washing with this seems to reduce excess oil production.
ConsHowever, it's not a liquid shampoo but a solid soap form, so don't expect any fragrance or scent additives when using it. Also, you absolutely need to use conditioner or hair treatment afterward. Your hair might feel a bit stiff, so conditioner becomes essential. It says it's a one-month supply, which I knew when I bought it, but it shrinks quickly, which is disappointing. The gratis soap dish that comes with it is so nice that I don't want to throw it away, so I'm planning to use it for other soaps too.

Doesn't matter what your scalp or skin type is, just don't use it. I got this for free from Olive Young, and I still felt so stressed I wanted to file a lawsuit.
ConsThis is truly awful. I can't understand any of the positive reviews. It completely fails as a shampoo - it feels like washing your hair with laundry soap. After washing, my hair became matted and wouldn't detangle. It's been two weeks and I'm still dealing with this. I have to wear a hat everywhere. It's infuriating. Not realizing this was the cause, I used it a few more times to try and fix the dryness and tangling, but it only got worse. Even after drying my hair, it feels like there's residue, and when I run my hands through it, it's sticky and won't rinse out with water. Other shampoos don't help either. At first, I thought I had tree sap in my hair... I absolutely hate this. I'm washing my hair multiple times a day now. If it were laundry soap, at least conditioner might help, but there's no solution for this. I'm a woman, but I feel like shaving my head... Ugh. My hair has become so dry and tangled that I'm losing a ton of it trying to detangle. What's with all the good reviews? Do people genuinely like this...? One star is too generous. It deserves negative stars.
TipOnly buy this if you plan to use it as hand soap or laundry detergent.

Even washing my hair with a pH-balanced shampoo morning and night didn't clear up my scalp blemishes. But then I tried using this solid shampoo bar every 2-3 days, alternating with my pH-balanced shampoo on other days, and it completely cleared up!
ConsIt can make your hair feel stiff, so ladies should be careful as it might cause tangles!
TipMake sure to use a conditioner afterwards, or at least apply a hair essence if you can't use a full treatment.

He really loved it, which made me feel great. He's been using it and says his hair has improved a lot, so he's in a much better mood!
ConsHe mentioned that his hair texture didn't improve as much as he expected...

My hair had improved so much with the natural shampoo bar I was using before, but this... this made me experience true hair hell.
ConsI don't even want to give this one star. It doesn't deserve any stars at all. I literally experienced hair hell with this product. After washing my hair and applying my usual treatment, then drying it as normal, all the softness from yesterday completely disappeared. My hair felt like I'd washed it with regular soap - sticky and tangled. When I tried to comb it with my fingers while drying, it got even more tangled and started breaking. It also took forever to dry. All day long, touching my hair just made me feel like I was ruining it more. The sticky, tangled feeling made me not want to touch my hair at all. By nighttime, my scalp seemed even greasier than usual. I absolutely do not recommend this product. The only silver lining is that I bought it on a 70% sale at Olive Young for around $2. If I had paid full price, I would have hated myself for it. It seems that in times like these, Korean products are the way to go rather than Japanese ones. Long live Korea!

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.ProsThis product seems to have polarizing opinions, with some accusing it of fake reviews or manipulation. But that just shows how it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of item. Personally, I find its cleansing effectiveness great, especially after using wax or hairspray. It's also super convenient for travel since it's solid - easy to pack and use. After washing with this, my hair dries nicely and styles well.
ConsDue to ingredients like tannins that can make hair stiff, I'd advise those with hair loss concerns to avoid this. While it feels soft when lathering, once you rinse, your wet hair becomes extremely rigid. If you're not careful, you might break or pull out strands when handling it. Even though I don't have hair loss issues, I'm extra gentle with my damp hair - carefully detangling it like I would with knotted earphones to avoid any breakage before drying.
TipWhen using treatments, it's beneficial for your hair to leave them on for a while. Since this shampoo rinses so thoroughly and seems to close the cuticles, I always finish with a conditioner for balance.

That's about the only good thing I can say.
ConsFor the price, the size is too small, and this is truly the product I regret buying the most. It seems to be quite polarizing. Honestly, I can't understand those who like it. It's not cheap, and far from being effective, it actually made my scalp condition worse. My hair became completely straw-like. The user experience isn't pleasant, and the scent isn't good either. It makes me wonder if they've hired a lot of fake reviewers. I've tried products that were just okay despite good reviews, but never one this terrible. The smell is like old oil, not particularly pleasant. Some might call it a charcoal scent, but it doesn't really feel that way. Moreover, the more I used it, the itchier my scalp became, and I experienced significant hair loss. It took three days after stopping use for my hair to return to its original condition. Don't suffer like I did - look for other products instead.
TipI don't have anything to add. After struggling with this product, my best tip is simply not to use it.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsPersonally, I couldn't find a single positive aspect about this product. The shampoo is called 'Scalp Focus'. It might be suitable for those with extremely oily scalps and short hair, but if you have long hair and a normal scalp, steer clear of this product. If you care about your hair even a little, this is absolutely not the product for you.
ConsThis is 100% based on my personal experience. I bought this with my own money after seeing an online advertisement. I'm old enough to know better than to lie. The trouble starts when you rinse. The lather transforms into a sticky substance that clings to your hair. It makes your hair so stiff that even hair treatments can't penetrate. The shampoo completely nullifies the effects of any conditioner. When you try to remedy the stiffness with hair essence or oil, it's a disaster. The oil doesn't absorb, it just sticks to your hair. If you have naturally curly hair, people will ask if you've just had a perm. No matter how long you blow-dry, your hair won't dry properly. It takes three times as long as usual to get your hair somewhat dry. Forget about styling - even if you usually only need to scrunch your hair to define your curls, nothing works with this. Your hair is so stiff you can't even run a comb through it. What's worse, all the product build-up combined with dust comes off on your comb like grime. I had to wash my hair for three consecutive days with my regular shampoo to finally get my hair back to normal.
TipAs one reviewer mentioned, this might be okay for teenage boys with oily skin explosions or adults with extremely oily scalps and short hair. However, if you have long hair, you're likely to experience three days of hair nightmare like I did.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! Initially, my hair felt quite stiff, making me wonder if I needed to use conditioner. But after a year of use, I can't even remember when my hair last felt coarse - it's become incredibly soft. I'm still ordering it in packs of ten, and I highly recommend it for those with oily or itchy scalps. In the past, even eating spicy or hot foods would make my scalp itch, leading me to seek treatment from dermatologists. Since using this solid shampoo, my scalp itchiness has significantly decreased. I think I'll be sticking with this solid shampoo for the long haul!
ConsBeing a solid shampoo, it can be a bit frustrating to use when you're down to the last bits. When it's a large chunk, you only need to rub it on your head a little to get a rich lather. However, when it's almost finished, it becomes difficult to apply and tends to break into pieces. Also, women with long hair might find it challenging to use at first, as it can make their hair feel quite stiff.
TipWhen your solid shampoo bar breaks into pieces as you're nearing the end, try combining it with a new bar. After a few uses, they'll fuse together, allowing you to use up the fragments neatly. For an enhanced experience, don't just massage gently with your hands after lathering. Use the brush-like tool that comes with the initial purchase to give your scalp a refreshing scrub. The massage effect is absolutely fantastic!

ConsI'd recommend using this with a conditioner. After using it, my hair feels really dry and straw-like.
