Hydrating

The Hwahae product is difficult to control the amount, and it appears to be greasy even with just a little application. Therefore, I only use it in the evenings.

I'm not sure if the price is an advantage or a disadvantage since I bought it cheaply at the department store.
The hair texture: After self-dyeing and frequent perms, my hair became quite frizzy when dried, so I thought I should buy an essence. So I just bought it cheaply. After purchasing, I found that it curls up. So maybe that's why my hair looks much better and I don't feel that way. But definitely, using the product makes my hair calmer when dried.
The scent: It smells like a hair salon. A slight smell of hair salon chemicals...? Personally, I don't dislike the hair salon smell, so it was fine.

The smell is quite pungent and it's confusing whether it should be applied like a hair essence or like a wax.

My head feels calm. I might be able to apply a small amount.

There is a salon-like smell, and if I apply too much, it can make my hair a bit sticky.

My hair is curly and voluminous, so it looks quite disheveled, but after applying the product, it becomes calmer and definitely feels softer.

With hair that reaches my waist, using an amount the size of a coin was just right.

The scent may be divisive for some. There's a slight perm-like smell. And since this is a curl-related product, it's hard to expect a super smooth, silky feel.

I purchased this product based on the recommendation of the hairstylist after my perm. I think it's a good value and an appropriate product... There is definitely a difference in how it applies. When applied, it adds shine and the curls become really firm and strong.
The hairstylist also said that this cream-type essence absorbs better and is more beneficial than the liquid type essences.

✔For very damaged hair, it seems like a heavier product would be better.

✔My hair is thin, so it's not oily, but it looks a bit greasy and weighed down. I haven't been applying essence regularly, but I've been using a perm product since purchasing it. First of all, there's no oily or sticky feeling at all.
The essence formula isn't too thick, so it applies smoothly and evenly.
Even if there are some clumped areas when applying, they absorb or evaporate quickly, so there's no greasiness.
My frizzy hair is now calm and bouncy.

It has a smell like the nasty chemicals from a hair salon
I wish it had a sweet fruity fragrance instead

You can purchase it incredibly cheaply online
The most positive aspect is that it is very moisturizing
The large capacity means it lasts quite a long time

There are no particularly bad points, and all aspects are satisfactory, so I want to continue using it.

It has a pleasant fragrance, good curl retention, a nice feel in the hand, and lasts a long time.

There is a slight stickiness.
The scent may be divisive.

The price is affordable and the quantity is generous, so it lasts a long time.
It helps to style and manage hair after drying.

After washing my hair, I lightly air-dry it with a cool breeze, then apply the essence and use a curling iron. The curls stay, and I highly recommend this product!

The price, moisture, texture, effectiveness, and curling performance are all good.
There's nothing lacking.
If I had to nitpick, the fragrance isn't bad, but I wish it had a more refreshing scent.

It seems to have an amazing cost-effectiveness.
My hair is thick and slightly curly, and I have a decent amount of volume, but it tends to look messy due to frequent coloring. To put it simply, it looks unkempt, so I occasionally go to the salon for a treatment. At that moment, my hair becomes shiny and calm, but within 2-3 days, it goes back to its original state.... The cost is burdensome, so when my friend recommended a product, I happened to buy it. Although it's a curling product, I felt that it made my hair incredibly moisturized. I tend to use moisture-rich oil essences because over time, oil-based ones can make my skin feel greasy. Compared to Silk Therapy, this has better cost-effectiveness, and I've also tried Moroccan oil, but this one makes my hair much softer. My hair feels glossy and fluffy all day long.
