These are the experiences of three people who diligently used and reviewed this product. It was my first time using a shampoo bar. My biggest concern before use was how to store it if it softened in water. The conclusion: no worries at all. Advantages: 1. It doesn't soften easily. 2. It lathers incredibly well. 3. True to its 'scaling bar' name, it controls scalp oil, leaving a clean feeling all day long. 4. Despite the rich lather, it doesn't deplete as quickly as expected. This justifies the price. 5. The scent might be polarizing. Personally, I like the natural fragrance. Those who prefer floral or sweet scents might not enjoy it. 6. Since my late 30s, my hair has thinned and volume decreased significantly. This sparked my interest in anti-hair loss shampoos, and I've tried almost all the popular brands. Prices ranged from $30 to $100 per liter. However, none were 100% satisfactory. Some even seemed to increase scalp sebum, leaving an oily smell after use - you can usually tell after about two uses. I seem to have a very sensitive scalp prone to quick pimple formation. But with this product, I've used it about 10 times over two weeks. While it leaves my scalp refreshed, I noticed my hair becoming stiff, so I alternated with another shampoo every third day. Still, its cleansing power is unparalleled. Notably, my middle school son's crown no longer smells; instead, it's fragrant.
ConsDrawbacks: 1. Fragrance: It might not be for everyone, but this is common with all products. 2. Unlike cleansing bars that can be used for gua sha, it would have been great if the scalp bar had bumps for scalp massage - a two-in-one benefit. I was tempted to use the shampoo bar on my face. 3. While it leaves the scalp refreshed and clean, it can make hair stiff. I had to apply hair essence afterward. 4. Honestly, I wish it were larger for the price, or that it was a bit cheaper. That's just my personal desire, but I hope there will be various promotions and good deals in the future.
TipFor those who don't like the fragrance but want to enjoy the product's benefits: First, use the scaling bar for a thorough cleanse, then follow up with your preferred scented shampoo. This way, the fragrance lasts longer. Alternatively, you can use a hair perfume. The bar creates a clean base, allowing fragrances to be released without any oily smell.

I really liked that it wasn't overpowering! Lather: At first, it was challenging to create a lather with the shampoo bar itself. However, when I thoroughly wet my hair and massaged it in, it lathered up nicely. Using a foaming net made it even more satisfying! Cleansing effectiveness: After rinsing with water, I felt refreshed. My scalp felt cool and thoroughly cleansed. I have an oily scalp, but it didn't feel greasy or weighed down afterwards.
ConsLather: Due to the nature of shampoo bars, it's not easy to create a lather! I used a foaming net to generate plenty of foam for easy use, but without it, the lather doesn't come out easily. Post-use: It's definitely better to use a conditioner along with this. After shampooing, my hair felt quite stiff, so using a conditioner seems essential. Texture: Given the characteristics of a shampoo bar, I think it might be a bit challenging to use on long hair. It's easy to use on short hair by rubbing it on the scalp, but it could be difficult to work through longer locks.
TipUsing it with a foaming net was fantastic!

After washing my hair, my scalp feels refreshed and invigorated. - While the lather isn't super rich, it's not inconvenient to use. However, I have shoulder-length hair, so those with longer hair might find it a bit challenging. - The shape of the shampoo bar is surprisingly nice. It fits comfortably in your hand. - The scent is pleasant too! But it's quite unique, so it might be a love-it-or-hate-it situation for some people.
Cons- It leaves the hair feeling a bit stiff. I know it's typical for scalp shampoos, but even with shoulder-length hair it feels somewhat rigid. Those with longer hair might find it a bit uncomfortable.
Tip- Make sure to thoroughly wet your scalp before using! If you try to lather it on hair that's not wet enough, it might feel like the hair is getting caught in the shampoo bar.

I've rated the product using medals, with 3 medals being the best. - Usage experience 🥈 After washing with the shampoo bar, my hair feels healthily firm. It's not the kind of stiffness you get from regular soap that makes your hair hard to comb. Rather, it feels like the hair is thoroughly cleansed and strengthened. Don't worry about it being a bar - it doesn't dissolve weakly in water. It's more like a water-resistant stone, staying solid with continued use. - Hair texture over time 🥇 I've always used liquid shampoos for damaged hair due to frequent perms and coloring. Usually, by evening, my hair would start to feel itchy and greasy after washing in the morning. But with this product, even as the weather gets warmer, that doesn't happen. My hair doesn't get oily! This is actually where it scores the highest points. - Fragrance 🥈 It has a natural scent. While I wasn't used to it at first, it grows on you the more you smell it. - Scalp massage 🥇 This is another reason I want to buy this shampoo bar again. Scalp massages are great for anti-aging. Usually, I'd have to do it separately, but with this, you naturally massage your scalp while shampooing. It feels incredibly refreshing, like rubbing your head with a smooth stone. - Feel in hand 🥇 When I first used it, it felt like holding a prehistoric stone tool. I don't mean that negatively - it fits nicely in your hand. The various rounded edges make it easy to rub against your head from different angles. - Eco-friendly product 🥇 I appreciate that it reduces plastic usage. - Improved hair health 🥇 Using this shampoo makes my hair and scalp feel stronger and more resilient. I was so excited when I received the product as a first-time The Hwahae Tester that I opened everything without taking photos... 🥹 Since others have posted 'before' pictures, I'm sharing how much is left after 2 weeks of use for reference!
Cons- It takes a bit longer to lather compared to liquid shampoos. As someone who's only used liquid shampoos before, I initially felt it took longer to create foam than I was used to. - The firm feeling after use might mean you'll want to use a conditioner to maintain silky hair. I always use a separate conditioner and hair essence, so it wasn't an issue for me, but some users might have different preferences.
TipI lifted my hair to rub the bar directly on my scalp, as I wanted to get closer to it. As someone who washes their hair in the morning, the scalp massage helps wake me up. It's killing two birds with one stone!

Fragrance: It's like a Jeju Island forest trail with a waterfall. A cool, woodsy scent without the harsh mint notes. It's a unique fragrance that I absolutely love. I also received an ocean musk sample that perfectly captures the sweetness of the sea. Overall, this brand seems to specialize in natural, intriguing scents I've never experienced before. Packaging: All paper, making recycling a breeze. Surprisingly, it doesn't soften easily - maybe my home is just dry? It's an eco-friendly shampoo bar that produces no waste. The generous size should last a while too. Hair texture: My scalp feels firmer and healthier, resulting in less hair fall and noticeably thicker strands. I haven't seen such dramatic results since using anti-hair loss shampoos. Cleansing effectiveness: It lathers well. The photo shows little foam as I only rubbed it with my hands, but on hair, it creates a foam explosion with minimal effort. My husband, who was skeptical about shampoo bars, was impressed by the rich lather and plans to switch once his current shampoo runs out. It leaves both hair and scalp squeaky clean.
ConsWhile it cleanses thoroughly, it can leave hair feeling a bit stiff. Conditioner is a must, otherwise your hair might tangle. Still, it's gentler than washing with regular soap.

The reduced use of chemicals is probably this product's biggest advantage! - I was pleasantly surprised that unlike some other shampoo bars which soften and become unsightly when wet on the bottom, this one doesn't have that issue, making it more convenient to use. - The scalp scaling effect seems excellent! It appears to thoroughly remove oil from the scalp, leaving it feeling fresh. This would be especially beneficial for those with oily scalps.
Cons- The scent might be a matter of personal preference - some may love it, others may not! - As someone with dry hair, I noticed it felt a bit stiff after using this product (which is somewhat expected given it's a scaling shampoo bar). Of course, using a conditioner afterwards solves this issue!
TipWhile I didn't find it necessary as it lathers well, those who feel it doesn't foam as much as traditional shampoos might want to use a foam net for a richer lather!
