The ginger scent is quite strong though, haha!
ConsThe ginger fragrance is a bit too sharp. I think I would have preferred if the scent was a bit more subtle.

While my hair didn't necessarily thicken, I noticed a nice boost in volume, giving it a bit of a lift. The scent is a lovely blend of lemon powder and ginger syrup. When it wafts gently during my shower, it feels like I'm getting an aromatherapy session - so refreshing! I've noticed less hair fall, and the hair near my scalp seems to stand up more, reducing that flat, limp look. It cleanses my scalp with a cool, refreshing feel, but doesn't leave my hair feeling dry or straw-like. I really like it!
ConsThe lather doesn't come up easily during the first wash. It's not a big issue for me since I usually shampoo once before swimming and again after, but using this twice might feel wasteful. If you rinse immediately after lathering, the effects aren't that noticeable. You need to leave the lather on for a few minutes before rinsing to really see that root volume boost. If you rinse right away, it's hard to notice the difference. The slightly high price and the somewhat inconvenient purchasing process are also minor downsides.
TipI buy it from iHerb. They occasionally offer discount coupons, and if you add them as a KakaoTalk friend, you can get free shipping coupons too.

ConsWhile it may not significantly improve hair loss, it likely has some preventative benefits

It's given my hair a beautiful shine and revived my curls. People even asked if I got a new perm! Though I haven't been using it for long, I'm satisfied to see my hair gradually becoming thicker. The scent is also pleasant to me - it's like a mix of energy drink and fresh grass. Unlike many additive-free shampoos that don't lather well, this one creates a nice foam and leaves my scalp feeling refreshingly cool.
ConsWhile I'm completely satisfied, those looking for a perfume-like fragrance might be disappointed. The scent is somewhat reminiscent of an energy drink mixed with a grassy note, which could be hit or miss for some people. It's worth noting that the fragrance doesn't linger strongly after washing.
TipThis shampoo pairs wonderfully with a treatment and a fragrant water essence post-wash. For best results, lather it on your scalp, wait 3-5 minutes before rinsing, and you'll feel an invigorating coolness on your scalp.

Lovely scent While using it, I realized the familiar fragrance reminds me of Vitamin C Lemona! It's a super refreshing scent that puts you in a good mood while washing your hair. Come to think of it, the color has a slight yellow tint too! 2. Refreshing feel It gives such a refreshing sensation while washing! While it's not extremely cooling, it definitely leaves you feeling invigorated. It's like you can feel your scalp getting cleaner! 3. Zero residue I usually rinse my hair for a long time, partly because I'm concerned about ingredients, and partly because my scalp tends to be dry. But with this product, there's absolutely no residue left. My scalp feels thoroughly cleansed, and the ingredients are great too! This is what I love most about it. 4. Impressive product I'm even more impressed that it's a shampoo specifically for hair thinning. My hair is naturally fine, and I've been losing more lately, so I've been paying extra attention to it. I figure it's better to start caring for it while I'm young. I've been using scalp ampoules too, but this product seems perfect for me. Rather than focusing on hair growth, it seems more important to prevent hair loss first. I'll keep using it consistently. After using it, my scalp condition has improved! And we all know that a healthy scalp means less hair fall, right? So I'm determined to use up the rest of the bottle!
Cons1. Lacks moisture Perhaps because it leaves no residue, it feels a bit drying and makes my hair slightly stiff. I always use conditioner because I dislike this feeling. Using just this product, it's a bit challenging to thoroughly cleanse both the scalp and hair (this might be specific to my hair type). So after using this shampoo, conditioner becomes even more essential! But since this is always part of my routine anyway, it's not a major inconvenience. Still, while rinsing, I do worry a tiny bit that this might not be ideal for my hair. 2. Average lather I prefer shampoos that lather well. While lots of foam doesn't necessarily mean it's a good product (it's probably all chemicals anyway), I'm just used to it. It also makes me use more shampoo than necessary, which is a bit concerning! However, I don't really want to skimp on shampoo usage, and given how effective this product is, it's not a major issue for me.

I originally had thick hair, but after using various shampoos and dealing with work stress, my hair started thinning and falling out more. So, I applied to be a tester and used this product consistently for two weeks! First off, the texture isn't too thick, it's more watery, which made it easy to shampoo my long hair. The scent was also pleasant - a mix of herbal and traditional medicinal fragrances that hinted at its nourishing properties. Despite being a functional shampoo, it didn't make my hair stiff, which I loved. It left my scalp feeling refreshed, and I noticed less oiliness in the evenings! I wasn't familiar with this shampoo before, but I think it'll become a staple for me now! I can see why it claims to be Amazon's #1 - not just anyone can make that claim, and now I understand why.
ConsI didn't find any downsides during the two weeks of use! If I discover any later, I'll update my review.
TipDon't forget to use a conditioner after this shampoo! And after towel-drying, be sure to apply a hair essence too!

First off, I have combination oily scalp. By evening, my bangs get greasy, and by the next day, even the back of my head... I have thick, long hair and occasionally get painful blemishes on my scalp. With the changing seasons, my scalp's been itchy, so I decided to switch shampoos when I won this! The scent is citrusy? A subtle herbal aroma? Personally, I loved it, but it might be hit or miss for some. The color is a slightly opaque yellowish, with a thin gel cleanser consistency. It's quite different from the thick, white shampoos I usually use - this one feels light and fluid, which was refreshing! When I first wet my hair with lukewarm water and used two pumps, I was shocked at how little it lathered. Even though I tend to have oily hair, it barely felt like I was using shampoo. After massaging and rinsing, I tried again with another pump, and it lathered better. Still, by my standards, it wasn't very foamy. Rinsing feels very 'squeaky clean' - like washing with bar soap. I usually don't like that squeaky feeling, so I was worried. But after using conditioner, my scalp felt refreshed without being stiff. The cleansing power seems excellent without being drying! No scalp odor or flaking either - a pleasant surprise! What I loved most was the reduction in hair fall! I have very thick hair and used to lose handfuls when washing, but after using this Gold Label shampoo, it's been cut in half! I was amazed - I expected more hair loss due to the 'squeaky' feel, but there was so little on the floor after showering. Though I haven't been using it long, my mom, stylist, and friends have all complimented how beautiful, bouncy, and shiny my hair looks lately! I've noticed split ends disappearing too. I'm definitely going to keep using it! So grateful to have won this! Honestly, the day after I first used it, I woke up with a big, painful blemish on the back of my head. I do get these occasionally, so I wasn't sure if it was related. I continued using it for two weeks and didn't get any more blemishes, but that first one was quite painful and lasted a while...
ConsThe lack of rich lather was a bit disappointing for me, as I prefer a really foamy experience. The 'squeaky clean' feeling was also quite intense. However, its cleansing power is truly excellent! While I only had that one blemish issue on the first day and was fine after, it's worth noting that some people might have ingredient sensitivities, so please check carefully before purchasing.
TipWet your hair with lukewarm water and massage it in like you're giving yourself a scalp massage! I've heard leaving the lather on for about 2 minutes before rinsing helps, and when I tried it, it seemed to reduce scalp itching! You might want to give that a try. Also, using conditioner or treatment afterwards is a must! While it may vary from person to person, my hair felt quite stiff after shampooing, even making it painful to comb through with my fingers... Wishing everyone a healthy scalp!

(Personal preference) 💙 Scalp condition: It's been about 5 months since giving birth, so while there's no dead skin cells, my scalp has weakened due to postpartum hair loss. 💙 Ingredients: I appreciated that it's free from harmful ingredients like parabens, mineral oil, formaldehyde, and glycols that can negatively impact the scalp. 💙 User experience: The formula is thinner than expected. One pump is enough to lather up 30cm of hair nicely. Though it suggests washing twice, once was sufficient for me. Those with oily scalps might need to pay attention to their washing technique and rinsing frequency. After washing, there was no slippery residue, which was great. With prolonged use, I think I might experience thicker hair and reduced hair loss. While some people dislike the scent, those who enjoy aromatherapy oils, tea tree, or woody, herbal fragrances might really like it. I'm using this with my mom who's also experiencing hair loss. Fingers crossed we see a reduction in shedding... 😢
ConsNothing particularly bad! The brown bottle is likely to protect the ingredients from UV degradation, but it's a shame that it's hard to see how much product is left.
TipMake sure your hair is thoroughly wet for the best lather. Since the formula is thin, don't over-pump or you might end up with residue. Be sure to rinse very thoroughly!

Personally, I absolutely loved the fragrance!!! ● Lather - Interestingly, it doesn't lather much on the scalp but creates a rich foam on the hair. ● Cleansing effectiveness - The scalp feels squeaky clean, while the hair feels as smooth as if conditioner was used. Some shampoos can make your scalp feel stuffy, but this one leaves a refreshing and cool sensation. ● Texture - A yellowish, transparent liquid that flows easily (see photo). ● Hair loss prevention effect - Not sure about this yet.
ConsI was curious why there was a usage guide for the shampoo. Following the instructions, I noticed slight itching where my hair touches my skin after the third use. Wanting more lather on my scalp, I used the same amount as regular shampoo once, but over time, my neck became extremely itchy with raised bumps like goosebumps. I had to take allergy medication and apply allergy cream. The itching stopped when I discontinued use of this product. I still have scabs on my neck. I'm giving it 3 stars because the fragrance is so nice...

The scent is a strong herbal lemon fragrance when you're washing your hair or right after, but it's not a lingering or subtle scent. It cleanses the scalp with small, soft, fine bubbles without any irritation. The best part? Even with just shampoo, your hair finishes smooth without any tangles. Personally, I have a scalp that doesn't get oily easily (I can go two days without washing) and I have psoriasis, so I avoid shampoos with lots of harsh ingredients (they cause immediate reactions). With this product, I didn't experience any worsening of my psoriasis or sudden changes in my scalp condition. No blemishes at all. If used consistently, I have a good feeling it will promote a healthier scalp.
ConsThe one downside was that for someone like me with thick, long hair, the amount of lather was way too little. I needed to pump at least 5-6 times. Oh, my precious shampoo...
