(Regular supermarket shampoos wreak havoc on my scalp) Currently no blemishes. (They pop up occasionally) However, I often have an itchy scalp and scalp odor. I wash my hair between 10 PM and midnight. About 15 hours after washing, I feel a slight oiliness, but my hair doesn't become extremely greasy or flat. + Scalp odor persists. If I had to categorize, it's a sensitive, seborrheic, oily scalp. Neutral 🦱 Oily ❣ Freshness Unlike some neutral or slightly acidic shampoos that can leave your hair feeling damp and limp even after washing, this doesn't give that sensation. ❣ Ingredients Silicone-free, PEG-free, sulfate-free! ❣ Soft Hair Even with a perm, my hair feels soft without tangling.
Cons❣ Doesn't lather well -> Leads to excessive use / High regular price With other products, I used to use 1.5-2 pumps even when my hair was long enough to reach below my chest (with average thickness) - I don't use much despite my style of creating lots of lather. But this product doesn't create much lather. The product itself feels runny, and the lather doesn't feel rich or bubbly, it just runs off. Now, even with hair length between my shoulder and elbow, I need to pump more than 2.5 times to create lather. Even with pre-washing, it doesn't lather well.. Even when the scalp is thoroughly wet, it doesn't lather well..lol I heard somewhere that all cleansers remove dirt with foam, so I wonder if it can cleanse effectively with such weak lather. I can't even imagine how much those with extremely oily scalps + long, thick hair would need to use. Especially if you frequently pre-wash... I bought a 500ml bottle for about 18,500 won on a social commerce site, but considering the quantity + lather quality, it seems expensive. ❣ Scalp odor detectable after 12 hours Since it's fragrance-free, the scent itself isn't strong. Maybe a hint of rosemary? As a result, it doesn't effectively mask the scalp odor that gradually emerges over time. This is too obvious to be a con for me, but those who are stressed by odors should take note. (Except for those who wash their hair morning and night, or those who say they don't have much scalp odor) If you have plans the next evening, or if you're expecting to work late, use a different shampoo...haha
TipAs you're vigorously scrubbing your head, you'll definitely think: 'Am I really washing my hair right now? There's no lather...?' When that happens, don't rinse it all off immediately. Instead, pour some water over it and try to create more lather, focusing on the scalp. (Even with pre-washing, it really doesn't lather) This is a good shampoo for when you plan to stay home the next day / or when you think you might need to wash your hair more than once that day!

I've been trying various products as I haven't found a shampoo that really suits me yet.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that it doesn't lather well, making it feel somewhat inefficient. The texture is quite runny, almost like water.

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[User Experience] - Transparent and runny consistency, quite fluid. - Subtle, medicinal scent that gradually fades while washing and doesn't linger after rinsing. - Mild cooling effect, pleasantly non-irritating. - While not overly foamy, the cleansing effectiveness is excellent! Even without pre-washing, it works hard to clean oily, sweaty hair effectively. - After drying, the scalp feels fresh and the hair feels soft yet strengthened. Great that it doesn't make hair stiff! I'm loving it more with each use. Definitely want to stock up during sales!
Cons- The amount dispensed per pump is small. - Even with the cap closed, a bit of shampoo tends to leak out. - Effects on scalp itching, inflammation, or blemishes prevention might only be noticeable after using the entire bottle. - The biggest drawback is, of course, the price and volume.
Tip- To make the most of a small bottle of functional shampoo, pre-washing is essential. I've found it effective to use an affordable, gentle cleanser for the initial wash to focus on cleansing, then use this shampoo to concentrate on absorbing the active ingredients while massaging the scalp.

This shampoo cools your scalp like a minty sensation. Work up a lather and gently massage your scalp, pressing firmly with your fingers for a mood boost. It helps relieve the day's fatigue and improves blood circulation in the scalp. As someone who dislikes strong fragrances, I appreciate that it's nearly unscented. Even though I tend to use a generous amount, this shampoo keeps my hair oil-free until the next day. I can go a couple of days without washing and my hair doesn't get greasy! It appears to be a cruelty-free, vegan brand.
ConsThe liquid formula has its pros, but depending on your preference, it might feel too runny. You may find yourself using more pumps than usual.
TipTry double cleansing your hair, similar to double cleansing your face, for a truly thorough wash. First, quickly lather up and rinse, then shampoo again. This method allows you to wash your hair every other day while maintaining cleanliness.

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.ProsFirst off, I loved how well it lathers. Unlike some anti-hair loss shampoos that leave your hair feeling stiff, this one doesn't, which is great. I also appreciate that the bottle is recyclable once you're done. Personally, I adored the fragrance. It's a plus that it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients. And for me, I noticed less hair fall, which was fantastic.
ConsThe amount of shampoo you get is quite small, and the price is a bit steep. Also, the pump is really hard to use. What's more, the formula is quite runny, so it tends to drip down, making you use more product than necessary. That's a bit disappointing.

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.ProsThe lather is great, and after rinsing, it doesn't leave that squeaky-clean feeling but rather a soft and moisturized sensation. There's a minty, refreshing scent, but you don't feel it on your skin at all. Personally, I liked that it doesn't give a cooling sensation on the scalp. My boyfriend, who always had a very dry scalp prone to dead skin cells, said the itchiness significantly decreased after using this shampoo for about a week.
ConsThe pump dispenser is quite inconvenient. It dispenses a very small amount each time, and while it does lather well even with a small quantity, I have long hair and need to pump it four or five times. However, this might only be an issue for women with long hair, as men could probably manage with just one or two pumps. Also, the shampoo is quite runny, which can be a bit messy and inconvenient at times!
TipThis product has a refreshing scent that gives you a spa-like aromatherapy experience. It would be great for giving yourself a scalp massage and taking care of your scalp health when you're feeling stressed.

I have a dry, sensitive scalp that's prone to blemishes when I'm tired or stressed, and lately I've noticed more hair loss, so I've been using anti-hair loss shampoos. I'm currently using a N* anti-hair loss shampoo and I'm satisfied with it, but I wanted to try a shampoo with good ingredients, which is why I applied for this. After shampooing, my hair felt a bit stiff, which surprised me. While washing, the refreshing scent really cleared my sinuses - double the freshness! After shampooing, it helps reduce the heat on my scalp, giving a cool and refreshing feeling. With such great ingredients, there's no need to say more.
ConsWhile the mint scent is refreshing during washing, the lingering fragrance after rinsing isn't to my taste. It might be a love-it-or-hate-it thing. My hair feels dry after washing. The texture is quite slippery, which made it run off quickly and caught me off guard. Considering the price and volume, I probably won't repurchase. Despite the good ingredients, there are too many aspects I'm not fond of to keep using it based on that alone.

It feels like it cleanses more thoroughly, which I love! - Fragrance As mentioned above, it has a cool, minty/tea tree-like scent. From the moment you pump it out until you lather it up, the fragrance is refreshingly pleasant. Of course, fragrance preference can vary from person to person! - Lasting effect I'm not sure if 'lasting effect' is the right term for shampoo, but... the clean, refreshed feeling on your scalp and hair lasts longer compared to other shampoos. In other words, it produces less oil, or oil builds up more slowly! This seems to be a huge advantage!! In my experience, with other shampoos, if I wash my hair on Monday morning, it starts to get oily around 2 PM on Tuesday. With this shampoo, I can keep my hair clean through Monday and Tuesday, and only need to wash it on Wednesday morning. - Texture It doesn't lather up too much. You might see this as a drawback, but lots of foam doesn't always mean better ingredients. I was more satisfied with this shampoo because it cleanses effectively and leaves my hair feeling fresh, even with less foam!
Cons- Fragrance While it's also a plus point, I wouldn't recommend this if you prefer shampoos that leave a strong scent in your hair after washing. If you're more concerned about ingredients, you'll probably like this shampoo. - Texture It's very runny! I have long hair so I use quite a bit of shampoo, and if I pump too much into my hand, it drips. This can be solved by pumping a moderate amount, lathering, and then pumping more if needed, but it was slightly disappointing. - Hair loss prevention Regarding its effectiveness for hair loss, I didn't notice any significant changes after two weeks of use.
TipFor best results, pump out a moderate amount of shampoo, rub it slightly to create some lather, then apply it to your hair and work up a good foam. Massage your scalp for about 5 minutes - it feels incredibly refreshing and invigorating!

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☆This review is based on a free product sample☆ I have an oily scalp that gets greasy just a day after washing, with average hair volume. Lately, I've been experiencing more hair loss than usual, probably due to stress ;( Since this is a hair loss prevention shampoo, it's difficult to assess its effectiveness in that regard as it would require at least a month of use to see results. What I liked about using this product is its natural scent (a refreshing mint fragrance, though quite subtle - I expected a cooling effect due to the mint, but that wasn't the case). Compared to other shampoos, it lathers up nicely and smoothly! I've tried about 3 different shampoos marketed for oily hair before, but they didn't really work for me ㅠ..ㅠ However, with this shampoo, I feel like the rate at which my hair gets greasy has improved a bit? My hair used to get oily within a day, but now it stays non-greasy for about 1.5 days~
ConsThe price is a bit steep for the amount you get.... While I received this as a free sample, I'm not sure if I would purchase it at full price. Also, the shampoo's consistency is quite thin, so it tends to run off your hand quickly after squeezing it out. The amount dispensed with one pump is too small, which was inconvenient.
