It's moisturizing but not heavy, leaving you feeling refreshed and hydrated. You don't need to use a lot of the shampoo, as it lathers up nicely. Highly recommended!! 🩵 Fragrance The fragrance is amazing - it's fresh and pleasant, with a herbal+slight masculine scent (but in a good way, it's suitable for women too!) The fragrance and usage experience alone make me want to repurchase this. + It's similar to the Aesop Tesse scent...! Amazing find🫢 🩵 Hair Loss Prevention I've been using this brand's tonic product together with the shampoo, so I'm not sure about the shampoo's standalone effects. But I've definitely noticed more baby hairs and less hair fall, with a healthier scalp. I just purchased the shampoo this time, and I'll add more after using it for about a month. 🩵 Price It's available at various retailers, and from what I've observed, the lowest price is around the mid-20,000 won range per bottle.
ConsThe shampoo requires you to add an ampoule-like product yourself, and I'm not sure if there's a specific reason for this. Personally, I find it a bit inconvenient, and I'd prefer a pre-mixed product. It also generates a lot of waste, which I don't like ㅜㅡㅜ + I wish they would release a refill product to reduce waste 💛
TipI recommend purchasing it when it's on sale, as they have regular discounts.

The packaging was unique, so I thought it would be fun to unwrap it as a gift. The scent is not overpowering, but has a refreshing soap-like fragrance that I personally enjoyed. The shampoo I used previously produced a lot of lather, but this one doesn't lather as much, though it's not a major concern. From the moment I started washing my hair, I noticed that it didn't feel as tangled or lacking in moisture as with other shampoos. Since this is a moisturizing shampoo, it left my hair feeling soft and smooth, with less tangling. This was the best part for me. Additionally, after washing, my scalp had a slightly minty, refreshed feeling, which was pleasant rather than irritating. I haven't been able to use it for more than 2 weeks yet due to my schedule, but I'll come back with a more detailed review after using it for a few more weeks.
ConsThe only downside is that you have to separately add the accompanying product, and since the formula is a bit gel-like, some of it tends to remain in the bottle when pouring. Other than that, I liked everything else.

This is the least lathering shampoo I've used so far. • Cleaner Feel After Washing There's something different compared to how my hair feels after using other shampoos! It's not exactly 'clean', but more of a 'squeaky clean' feeling. The texture of my hair after drying is softer and smoother! • Sleek Packaging The bottle has the weekly usage amount clearly displayed. The design is also very clean and neat. • Reduced Hair Loss I haven't used it for a full week yet, so I can't say for sure, but it seems like I'm losing less hair than before. • Less Scalp Irritation Since using this shampoo, my scalp doesn't get as red. So it seems to be less irritating. • Reduced Dandruff It's definitely decreased. With my previous shampoo, I would get a little bit of dandruff when scratching my head, but that's much less now. I realize that the old shampoo just didn't suit me. • Novel Formula This is the first time I'm using a shampoo made by this manufacturer, so it was an interesting experience.
Cons• Less Lather I know less lather is better, but since I've only used shampoos with rich lather before, I kept wondering if I was even washing my hair properly with this one. • Displayed Usage Amount The displayed usage amount is helpful, but hair length can vary how much shampoo is needed. I feel like I might develop an obsession with using the exact amount shown. Even though I use about 4 pumps, that's already more than the weekly amount they suggest. If you really want to use the displayed amount, you'd probably need to use only 2-3 pumps. • Packaging The packaging is clean, but there's too much unnecessary waste. It would have been better if it was a concentrated formula like some micellar hair bubble ampoules, where you just have to mix and use.
TipMassage the scalp with lukewarm water for about 3 minutes Shampoo for about 3 minutes Leave it on for 1-2 minutes Rinse while massaging the scalp

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAuthor: Jiseong Doo, no hair loss Used 1 time per day for 2 weeks -The hair feels soft even with just shampooing Other mildly acidic shampoos and sensitive shampoos are made to be gentle, so after using them, the scalp feels good without irritation, but the hair feels quite stiff. But this shampoo, just using this alone, makes the hair less tangled and softer! -The hair is soft and the scalp is not dry but moist, and oil doesn't seem to build up too much, so I'm satisfied! In the seasonal changes, when the scalp gets dry, the dandruff gets worse, but this seems good to use during dry times. -The hair feels like it has more strength My hair is very thin, but after using this for the short 2-week period, I feel like my hair has gained a bit more strength. -It feels really gentle without any irritation -The guidebook and package design are excellent When I first received it, the package design was sophisticated and unique, so I thought it would be good as a gift. And by having the consumer directly mix the solution into the shampoo, it makes you aware of what ingredients are in this shampoo and what role they play, while also giving a premium product feel. And I thought it was good that they indicated the amount for 1 week's use on the container of the product. -The scent is like a bathhouse It's the kind of scent you'd smell in a bathhouse! Not good or bad, just that.
ConsIn the guidebook, there were statistical graphs showing the test results that the 'cytokine' ingredient contained in this shampoo had made a significant change in hair loss and hair thickness, but the minimum usage period was 1 month. Due to the nature of the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, I had to write the review after 2 weeks of use, so I noted the disappointing points after the 2-week use. -The lather doesn't come out well on the oily scalp during the first shampoo Please provide some tips! -Price I think it would be a good gift for people around me who are concerned about hair loss. However, I'm not sure if consumers who don't have hair loss concerns and are only interested in scalp care would choose this product at this price, given the minimal effects. -A lot of package recycling waste I understand that as a premium product, the package is intentionally made complex, but there was a lot of recycling waste like small plastic bottles and paper packaging. Personally, I found it a bit troublesome to dispose of, in addition to the environmental concerns.
Tip-Be sure to do a pre-shampoo! Mildly acidic shampoos usually don't lather well, and this product is the same! For those with dry scalps, it's fine, but for people like me with oily scalps, I think it's necessary to do a pre-shampoo. First, pump it once and lightly shampoo, then on the second round, pump it again and create a lot of lather to shampoo. This way, the oil and dandruff can be removed in the first round, so the shampoo ingredients can be better absorbed! -Don't dilute the ADD ON (the small bottle to be mixed into the main bottle)! I also wanted to add water to the remaining solution because it seemed a waste, but you're not supposed to do that!

I usually have to wash my hair every other day, but this shampoo allowed me to go 2 days without washing it!
ConsIt's a bit of a shame that there was some leftover shampoo in the bottle. But I did enjoy the fun of mixing it, even though the waste bothered me a bit.
TipThe shampoo was a bit thicker and heavier than expected, and it didn't produce an excessive amount of lather, but it was still usable. My hair didn't seem to build up much static electricity even without using the conditioner.

The product's individual box was made with a layered, compartmentalized design that was a fresh idea, with the add-on items stored separately. I also had high expectations, as they said they used a patented ingredient instead of the commonly known hair loss-reducing ingredients. The markings on the bottle indicating the amount of shampoo to use for a week were helpful to avoid using too much. The shampoo's refreshing scent also made me feel good. At a time when I desperately needed a shampoo that would reduce hair loss while promoting new hair growth, I was fortunate to be selected as a trial reviewer. Seeing the developer's full head of hair in the explanation gave me confidence to use the product consistently. After using it for a few days, I felt like my hair was shedding a bit less and I had more flyaway hairs, though the long-term effects will need to be observed.
ConsSince the patented ingredient is said to be most effective immediately after mixing, it would be great if they could provide guidelines on how much to mix into the shampoo each time to maximize the efficiency, given that this is a somewhat pricier product.
TipI lather the shampoo well in my hands with water before applying it to my hair.

The fragrance is also good, so the occasional wafting scent throughout the day makes me feel good. And you can choose products that suit your own scalp condition.
Cons1. Usage method: You have to open two or three small serum-like bottles and mix them into the large shampoo container, which is a bit of a hassle. 2. Usage experience: It seems like the product didn't match my hair, regardless of any hair loss issues. After shampooing, my hair would always feel matted, as if I didn't rinse it thoroughly enough. I kept using it, thinking maybe I wasn't rinsing it well enough, but it was the same every time. I even tried changing the amount of shampoo, but the result was the same. Unfortunately, I don't think I can continue using this product.

The ingredients also seem to be clean like the appearance⭐️ I'm the type who carefully checks the ingredients of shampoo since it touches the scalp, just like choosing cosmetics. There were no issues like breakouts or dandruff when I used it. Poor shampoo use can cause seborrheic dermatitis, but I had no such worries with this product! Depending on the shampoo, your head can itch all day or not at all, but this one left my hair feeling refreshed without any itchiness! Personally, I dislike strongly scented shampoos or body washes as I think it means a lot of fragrance ingredients are used. In this case, the scent is not overpowering, so I used it with confidence! (Those who love fragrance may find the scent a bit weak, though😅) Overall, I'd rate it as 'good'! It's a product you can try and potentially stick with. I recommend it!😙
ConsWhen I first opened the product, there was an inconvenience that it wasn't ready to use right away like other shampoos, but required adding a few things first. Those who dislike hassle may not like this aspect! Also, the lather didn't come as easily as expected, which was surprising at first, but since I focused more on the product quality, I'm satisfied. Those who prefer a lot of lather may not like this part!

And the remaining add-on is labeled Moisture! The shampoo was a transparent and slightly flowing formula The fragrance was not strong, but a subtle, refreshing (?) kind of scent It's hard to describe the exact feeling, but it's not like mint or anything, it's a sweet and refreshing (?) kind of feeling In an era when even women suffer from hair loss... I've been using the product for a little less than 2 weeks out of the 6-week period, and for me, it's more of a feeling that my hair is falling out less than before, rather than a concept that my hair is growing. There was a time when my hair would just fall out in clumps every time I washed and dried it, but now it's more like a few strands falling out, which is quite nice. This time, after finishing the shampoo, I'm going to try the booster + effector as well!
ConsSince my scalp is super oily, even when using an oily hair shampoo, the oil still seeps out by the evening. But with the Refilled shampoo, after washing my hair in the morning at 7am before work, and then again when I get home around 9pm, my hair already feels greasy and flat again, like the next morning. So even though my scalp is an oil factory, the oily hair shampoo feels like the oil comes back a bit faster compared to it. **It says the recommended usage is at least once a day, or morning and evening 2 times a day. I wonder if that's for hair loss prevention, or specifically for people like me? The regular price of the Refilled shampoo is 39,000 won. As someone who has never paid over 20,000 won for a shampoo before, this price feels a bit high if I don't see the full effects. Of course, if the effects are really great, it could be worth it. But I'll try the booster and effector next, and then evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the product.
Tip⭐️Refilled Shampoo Program The Refilled shampoo seems to be known as a product specialized for hair loss prevention and scalp care. There are also step-by-step programs available: *Early Hair Loss Stage - Shampoo + Scanner *Recognized Hair Loss Stage - Booster + Effector + Scanner *Sensitive Hair Loss Stage - Shampoo + Booster + Effector + Scanner Please reference this and let's overcome hair loss together!

Out of fear that my hair might be falling out too much, I desperately applied for this event! Even if I don't wash my scalp for a day, I get scalp troubles! And whichever shampoo I use, my hair seems to get greasy and limp really quickly... My hair is thin and sparse. ‼️ I used the entire 1st and 2nd steps, but for the 3rd moisturizing step, I excluded it during the trial period just in case the shampoo didn't agree with me. ‼️ Pros: 🦑The scent is not like an old man's, it's actually quite nice for an anti-hair loss shampoo. 🦑The clear shampoo makes it easy to see how much is left, and the design looks quite nice. 🦑Even without the 3rd step, my hair didn't get overly stiff, just slightly stiff.
ConsCons: 🦭I'm not sure if it works for hair loss, but it didn't seem effective for my hair shedding. 🦭The 2-week trial period is a bit too short, more time would be needed to really assess the results.
Tip(When I checked the product reviews on the official website, I saw someone had cut their hair and done a before & after, which made me a bit skeptical... But then I also saw someone who had clearly increased hair volume based on the top of their head photos, so I'm on the fence about it. I'll keep using it for 6 more weeks and then decide.)
