Pros
The fragrance is good, the cleansing is good, and it is also good for pregnant women to use.
Cons
It is expensive, quite expensive. The price is equivalent to buying three other products. But it is good.

Pros
The formula, fragrance, and cleansing power were all great. If there was a larger size available, I would want to purchase it as I am very satisfied. The fragrance was particularly wonderful, so I'm quite perplexed that there seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it situation around it..?
Cons
My hair did become a bit dry and flyaway. Using a conditioner together resolves the issue. I personally used a hair oil!

Pros
It feels like it cleans well, and if you use it by lathering it with your hands, the foam is sufficient.
Cons
The price is expensive, and I developed scalp irritation. It seems like it may not suit everyone's scalp. The scent may be divisive, and it feels quite thick.

Pros
The fact that it cleanses the scalp thoroughly was good. However, due to frequent hair coloring, my hair has become dry, so I need to use a treatment... While I haven't used it for long enough to know if it's effective against hair loss, since scalp cleanliness is the foundation for preventing hair loss, I think if I use it consistently, I'll likely see results.
Cons
The price is a bit evil... The dispenser is not a pump, so it gets my whole head wet before I can find the opening, which is a bit inconvenient. And please reduce the allergy-inducing ingredients a bit.
Tip
The spray-type tonic from the same line has been getting great word-of-mouth, so I think using them together would be even better.

Pros
Here is the English translation of the Korean text, with the requested synonym applied: The Hwahae Trial Reviewer's review: 1. Cleansing Power First and foremost, the cleansing power of this shampoo is amazing! The deep scalp cleansing is particularly recommended for those with oily hair. However, it does not overly dry out the scalp, so those with dry hair can use it as well. After washing your hair in the morning, it remains fresh and fluffy until the next day. 2. Exfoliation This shampoo would also be great for those who experience a lot of scalp flakiness. As mentioned earlier, it does not excessively dry out the scalp, so those with dry hair can use it comfortably. Consequently, I did not experience any increase in dandruff or related issues. This shampoo seems to be excellent at providing thorough cleansing while managing dandruff. 3. Design I also noticed the design - the cap does not need to be opened, which is convenient. While some may prefer a pump-style shampoo bottle, those often become difficult to use towards the end. However, this Aveda shampoo is easy to use throughout, even when the bottle is nearly empty. You just need to press the cap once to open it, and the bottle itself is not too rigid, making it easy to squeeze out the product. Overall, I was very satisfied. + Based on other reviews I've seen, I'm not sure if I'm using too much at once, but the lather is very rich and plentiful. Many shampoos struggle to produce a good lather, even when using a lot, but this one lathers well even with a moderate amount. This may vary from person to person, so please take it as a reference.
Cons
Here is the English translation of the additional Korean text, with the requested synonym applied: 1. Fragrance The shampoo seems to have a unique, almost natural(?) fragrance, possibly due to the inclusion of turmeric. Personally, I was a bit surprised by it at first, but I've gotten used to it now. However, the fragrance may be polarizing, so that could be a downside for some. According to a friend, Aveda shampoos are known to have a distinctive scent. Those who are already familiar with Aveda shampoos should be able to use this one without any aversion. 2. Usage Experience After rinsing the hair, it becomes quite stiff, so you will definitely need to use a conditioner or treatment afterward. Of course, using a conditioner and treatment is generally recommended, but it's easy to skip them when feeling lazy. However, with this shampoo, if you don't use a conditioner, your hair will be severely damaged. I'm not sure if this is due to the strong cleansing power, but this was a bit disappointing. It's a similar feeling to using a Lush shampoo bar. 3. Price The price is incredibly expensive, especially considering the product volume. This is quite a letdown.
Tip
Using a treatment or conditioner after this shampoo is absolutely essential!! I would not recommend this to those who don't regularly use a treatment or conditioner, as the hair can become severely damaged without them. However, if you pair it with a nice-smelling treatment, the shampoo's downsides will be mitigated, and you'll be left with just the benefits. So if you have an oily scalp, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try!

Pros
I am the owner of a scalp with oily tendencies, sensitivity, and thin hair. To provide an accurate review, I used only this product for a week without using any other shampoo or treatment. I shampoo once a day in the evening. *Cleansing power: It rinses off very refreshingly. There is a reason why this is an oily scalp shampoo. I was satisfied as it cleansed me refreshingly without being too squeaky clean. My scalp felt refreshed, but my hair did not become stiff to the point of being difficult to brush. It also did not get overly greasy between the time I shampooed in the evening and right before washing my hair the next day. *Hair loss: My hair loss has definitely decreased. As someone who believes in preventing hair loss before it starts, I only use anti-hair loss shampoos, and this one was more effective than any I've used before. I only lose about half as much hair as I normally do, and there's hardly any hair loss when I dry my hair. *Fragrance: It has a natural and subtle scent. The fragrance is not overpowering, similar to the aroma of herbs. I liked the healthy-smelling fragrance. *Scalp trouble, flakiness/itchiness: I was worried that the ingredients in this shampoo might cause scalp issues, but I did not experience any scalp troubles or itchiness. Flake removal seems to work well. The flakes on my hairline have significantly diminished.
Cons
As you can see from the photos I uploaded, there is no seal or sticker on the cap of the shampoo. It seems like an unpackaged Hwahae Trial Reviewer product. If this is the case for the regular product as well, it would be disappointing as a consumer, even though it is a well-known brand with a higher price point. I wish they had paid more attention to the packaging. *Scalp odor: As someone with an oily scalp, I was hoping this shampoo would help eliminate the scalp odor, but it did not completely get rid of it. *Neck area trouble: After using this shampoo, I experienced some trouble in the back of my neck area... So I've been shampooing while leaning forward. *Ingredients: Aveda is known as a brand with gentle, natural ingredients and an eco-friendly image, but the ingredients in this shampoo don't seem to live up to that reputation.
Tip
*Double shampooing: Since I have an oily scalp, I always do a double shampoo as the lather doesn't come out well with just one round. I lightly massage a small amount of shampoo focused on the crown area, rinse, and then shampoo again thoroughly, letting it sit for 1-2 minutes before rinsing. For anti-hair loss and scalp exfoliation, it's best to let the shampoo sit for 1-2 minutes. *Recommended scalp type: Those who experience significant hair loss and have an oily scalp. I had high expectations for the Aveda Invati line since it is so well-known, but the product did not live up to my expectations. While there are some positives, the drawbacks are equally significant, so I don't think I will repurchase this.

Pros
☞Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review -Fragrance- The fragrance is so nice... Personally, I like lemon scent, and the lemon and herbal scents are the primary notes, but there is also a deeper, more subtle aroma that comes from the inclusion of ginseng and turmeric components. It's a harmonious and richly layered fragrance that leaves me feeling pleasant every time I use the shampoo. -Cleansing Power The cleansing power is definitely good. I have a sensitive scalp and sometimes have issues with flakiness and dandruff, which can be itchy, and I never felt completely refreshed before. But now, there's no itchiness at all, and the flakiness has disappeared... The best part is that my scalp feels incredibly clean, refreshed, and thoroughly cleansed. -Lather I have fine hair and tend to use a lot of shampoo, but the Aveda Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo lathers up well without needing too much product. It creates a nice, rich lather.
Cons
-Price- Personally, everything is great, but I had to take off one star because of the price. Continuing to use it regularly is a bit of a burden. If not for the price, I would use it 100% of the time, but the cost is a concern. -Volume- I practically use the shampoo daily, and the volume is just too small, so it runs out quickly. Especially these days when there are a lot of larger-volume options out there, the size of this one feels quite small in comparison!
Tip
Since my hair is fine, I use a small amount of water and product, but it still lathers up nicely. When massaging it into my scalp, it feels like it's really cleaning my scalp. And when rinsing, if I gently brush through my hair with my fingers, the cleansing feels very thorough!

Pros
1. Cleansing Power I liked how it washed my hair thoroughly, but since it's a shampoo for oily hair, the cleansing power was just fine. After drying, my hair tips felt a bit dry, but using it with the conditioner was okay. 2. Fragrance I thought the fragrance would be divisive as soon as I smelled it. With the ginseng and turmeric, it has a bit of a herbal scent. I was fine with it, but those sensitive to fragrance might not like it. The lingering scent after rinsing was not too strong. 3. Texture It's a bit runny. I'm not sure if the photo captured it, but it flows quite smoothly, so it's hard to control the amount if not using a pump type. 4. After a week of use I feel like my hair roots have become a bit stronger? My hair seemed to fall out less compared to when I used other shampoos! I think I need to use it a bit longer to see the full effects.
Cons
The price is expensive ㅠㅠ I'm the type who uses a lot of shampoo, so the price makes me hesitant to use it generously ㅠㅠ The texture makes it a bit difficult to control the amount, the fragrance might be divisive, and it was a bit drying for my scalp!
Tip
This is a well-known product for strengthening the hair roots! You need to thoroughly wet your scalp for the shampoo to lather well~ Before shampooing, spray some onto your hair and use a silicone brush to gently massage it in. Then work up the lather and massage again with the brush for a really refreshing shampoo experience😉
