Pros
♡Since my hair is slightly curly, it tends to be a bit fluffy after washing. But when I use this, my hair becomes much calmer! It seems to help make my hair softer. ♡I have an oily scalp, but after using this, my hair doesn't get greasy even a day later. It seems to help control the oil to some extent! ♡I liked the subtle woody scent. ♡The consistency is nicely fluid, so it's easy to squeeze out and use, and the lather is adequately rich, which was good.
Cons
♡It doesn't completely strip away the greasiness, but it seems to remove it to an appropriate degree - it's just about right. ♡The scent seems to be subtly strong, and the fragrance lingers in my hair almost all day after using it! ♡For some reason, I got a few pimples on my scalp after using this. But I think this may vary from person to person, so just keep that in mind! ♡The only downside is that it's a bit pricey... It would be great if the price was a little more affordable!
Tip
♡I think this would be a good choice for those who want to achieve a calmer, more composed hair texture!

Pros
💚Distinctive Appearance When I first received it, I thought 'Is this really a shampoo?' as the packaging was so clean and luxurious, unlike the typical shampoo packaging we're used to. 💚Calming Fragrance I already love the scent of hinoki, so I often use fragrance, hand cream, and now using it as a shampoo makes me happy to catch whiffs of the scent in my hair. It's not an overpowering scent and has a soothing, gentle feel. 💚Can Be Used Alone Since I frequent swimming pools, the convenience of being able to use it alone was perfect! While I do use a no-wash treatment when drying my hair to make up for the lack of conditioner, I don't feel like there's a significant difference or lack compared to my regular routine.
Cons
🤍Value for Money..? Given the small bottle size, which is convenient to carry around, I'm not sure if I would repurchase it at this price.

Pros
The shampoo alone makes my hair soft After shampooing, my hair feels incredibly smooth and soft, just like I've used a hair pack! So my hair becomes much calmer even without applying a hair essence...Great, it saved me time in the busy mornings to skip the essence application. The hair is very moisturized but not greasy at all To be honest, at first I was worried that my hair would get really oily the next day because it was so moisturized, but there was no such issue at all. The overall ingredients are not bad My skin and scalp are quite sensitive, so I only use products with safe cleansing ingredients and without silicone oils. After receiving this product, I used it exclusively for a while, and there were no problems with my skin or scalp irritation. Lathers up really well It has a watery, flowing texture but lathers up really nicely. I have slightly longer hair than a medium length, and my hair is very thick, so I usually have to pump a lot of my previous shampoos. But with this product, 2-3 pumps are sufficient.
Cons
The only downside is the scent. I was expecting a natural cypress scent, but it's not that. It has a similar oriental mood scent to L'Oreal hair essence. Personally, I was a bit disappointed about that part, but the scent becomes subtle after drying.

Pros
*First of all, I have a power oily scalp, so if I wash my hair early in the morning, it gets greasy by the evening;; So I like shampoos that make my scalp feel refreshed. 💙 Smoothness after shampooing: They advertised it as a 'rinse-free shampoo', and it's true that the hair feels softer than with other shampoos when rinsing it off! Even after drying, my hair felt calmed down. 💙 Fragrance: The fragrance was really nice. It had a hinoki cypress aroma with a hint of powderiness? I kept wanting to smell it and it was a pleasant scent (❁´▽`❁) 💙 Non-irritating and gentle: I have sensitive skin, so I generally feel that products with fragrance tend to irritate my skin more. But this shampoo, despite having a fragrance, did not irritate my scalp at all! +) When I squeezed the shampoo into my hand, it was almost invisible;; It's a transparent color with just a tiny hint of yellow, barely noticeable.
Cons
🖤 Lather: I like shampoos that lather well, but this one didn't meet my standards.. Is it because it's a vegan, mildly acidic shampoo? 🖤 Scalp cooling, refreshment X : I didn't particularly feel any scalp cooling or refreshment from this product. Just a regular shampoo feeling? 🖤 Hair texture, greasiness after shampooing: As I mentioned earlier, I have a power oily scalp, so products that make my hair too calm actually make it get greasy faster.. This is more of a personal preference issue, so those who want to gently calm down their flyaway and coarse hair may find this as a benefit. And when I just shampooed, the hair texture was less soft than when I used a conditioner. But compared to regular shampoos, it was much less stiff!
Tip
I mix this shampoo with another one that has a stronger scalp cleansing power! That way, I get the good hair texture without it becoming too calmed down and greasy (❁´▽`❁)

Pros
The rinse-free shampoo was interesting to try. The lather was just right, similar to a regular mild acidic shampoo. The cypress scent during shampooing was personally very pleasant for me. Compared to my usual mild acidic shampoo, my hair definitely felt softer after rinsing. Even after drying, my hair felt calm and maintained moisture. This seems suitable for dry and frequently heat-styled hair. Those with oily scalps should alternate this with a regular shampoo, as it is mild acidic.
Cons
The shampoo formula is a bit thin, so I had to pump it several times and some of it splattered out of my palm. The price-to-volume ratio is a bit disappointing. I would consider purchasing it if it's on sale.
