I'm sorry.) The first one is vegan!!!!!! I hope more vegan products will be released in the future. The lather is also great. The second is the fragrance!!!! It's a real hinoki scent. It's luxurious like a woody or hinoki-famous perfume. If it had been deep, even if the fragrance was good, it would have been burdensome. But since it's light, it doesn't clash with the season. The longevity was also good, with a strong scent for about an hour and then a subtle lingering fragrance afterwards. The third is the pumping amount!!! I tried it twice and once, and one pump was enough. The fourth is the transparent case!! It was convenient to be able to check the contents inside. Finally, the softness! The hair feels good even with just shampoo. Of course, you have to brush it, but the difference from not using conditioner was not significant. It seems that the oil content is the reason for this.)
ConsUnfortunately, there were two major drawbacks that prevent me from recommending this product. First, it makes my hair greasy very quickly. Even if I shampoo in the morning before work, my hair will look limp and oily like it's been two days since I last washed it within 3 hours. The oiliness seems to be unusually severe. Whenever I use this shampoo, people comment that my hair looks greasy. By the time I get off work, my hair is just evenly coated in oil, which can be quite embarrassing at times. I've been using this product consistently since receiving it, and have tried various methods to address the issue - using a treatment or conditioner, air drying my hair, pre-shampooing, letting the shampoo sit before rinsing, and avoiding hair essence. But nothing seems to work. I even tried using a different shampoo for a day and then going back to this one, but the problem persisted. The other issue is that it has made my scalp more sensitive. After using this shampoo, I've developed redness and clogged pores on my scalp in multiple areas. This makes my scalp itchy, and I find myself unconsciously scratching it. I've tried washing my hair gently and in a scalp-friendly manner, but the symptoms immediately improved once I stopped using the product.
TipIt seems like this product might be a good fit for those with extremely dry scalp or abundant hair volume who want to achieve a more balanced, calm look. For reference, my hair volume is average, and my hair strands are on the finer side. I haven't had any hair treatments in the past 3 months, and my scalp type is on the drier side.

ConsIf you use it at night, your hair gets easily tangled when you wake up. Compared to other shampoos, it seems to tangle a bit more.

My hair is not too dry or greasy, but it's not very thick or voluminous either! I usually pump the shampoo 7 times when I wash my hair. Please keep this in mind! 🗣Texture The texture is like a watery toner. 🗣Amount It will probably last me around 3 weeks, but the amount is quite small, and I wish they had a larger size on sale so I could stock up. 🗣Lather As I mentioned, I pump the shampoo 7 times, but the lather doesn't seem very rich. So it takes me a bit longer to shampoo my hair. 🗣Fragrance The fragrance is like a perfume or scent, but I'm not sure what it is. Anyway, I liked it! It doesn't dissipate quickly and lasts well. 🗣Scalp Condition My dandruff has calmed down a bit!!!! I usually get dandruff in the fall and winter, but this seems to have a good amount of oil, so it's been fine! After washing, my hair used to get very tangled, but lately, it's not as bad, which is great! +Corrected typos
ConsThe texture is like water, and it feels a bit slippery when washing, so it doesn't rinse off easily. I feel like it might get greasy quickly in the summer. The amount is also quite small...ㅠㅠ While the fragrance ingredients are listed at the bottom, the fragrance is still quite strong.

Regular shampoos tend to make my hair feel tangled if I don't use a conditioner, but this product left my hair feeling nicely conditioned. I also liked that it's a vegan product. The packaging is quite nice as well. The fragrance was a pleasant, herbal-like scent.
ConsThe downside was that the packaging, while pretty, felt a bit flimsy, so I had to be careful when pumping it out to avoid potentially breaking it. And I'm not sure if the cleansing power is a bit weak, but I felt like I had to use quite a lot of product to get my hair fully clean, and it still felt a bit greasy afterwards, more so than when I use other shampoos. This may be due to my oily hair type, so individual experiences may vary.
TipFor those who don't have overly oily scalps, this could be a good product to try. The convenience of being able to skip the conditioner step is a major plus. And as a vegan product, it feels like a more ethical consumer choice. The herbal-like fragrance is refreshing, so I'd recommend it to those who enjoy that kind of light, cool scent as well.
