By eliminating unnecessary plastic packaging, a shampoo bar pops out to greet you as soon as you open the paper box. ■Unlike the square shape of other shampoo bars, the Pomie shampoo bar has a rounded, curved shape, which enhances the user experience. It is comfortable to grip with wet hands, and the arched shape allows for a wider area of coverage when massaging into the scalp. ■As someone with an oily scalp, I was worried the aloe vera ingredient might make it overly moisturized, but those concerns were quickly dispelled. The refreshing, squeaky-clean feeling I got after using it was wonderful. ■One of the issues those with oily scalps often face is a noticeable scalp odor, especially when exposed to a lot of indoor heating, but I didn't experience that at all on the days I used this shampoo bar! ■The fragrance is absolutely lovely! It's more of a powdery scent with a refreshing aloe juice note. The scent is so potent that just hanging it in the bathroom acts as an effective air freshener.
ConsThe good points are connected. ■The squeaky-clean feeling was satisfying, and as someone with an inherently oily scalp, I'm used to preferring shampoos that provide that kind of clean sensation over more moisturizing formulas. However, using just the shampoo bar alone may leave hair feeling a bit dry. I'd recommend using a conditioner or applying a hair essence before or after drying. ■While the fragrance is wonderful, it doesn't seem to linger much after shampooing. For those who really enjoy the scent, this could be a bit disappointing.
TipThose with shorter hair may not be as affected, but for those with longer hair, I'd suggest using a conditioner or hair essence to finish off the routine.

It's not overly oily, but not dry either.. I don't have any particular scalp issues. - Fragrance The fragrance is really nice! I was worried since this is my first time using a shampoo bar, but the fragrance is much better than I expected. The fragrance also lasts pretty well! After washing my hair at night, the fragrance lasts until the next morning, about half a day. - Cleansing Power I used it without properly checking if it was for dry or oily hair, but my scalp didn't have any particular issues. The clean, squeaky-clean feeling was nice. Since it's a solid shampoo, I didn't expect a soft, smooth feeling, so the clean feeling was actually better. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I often feel like the fragrance doesn't last long and the cleansing power is weak when I use a shampoo for dry hair. But this product doesn't have that issue, so I really liked it. I used it well!
ConsThe lather was very, very good, but for me with thick, long hair, the initial step of lathering the bar was too inconvenient ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Normally with liquid shampoos, you can just rub it on your hands and then apply, but this one felt a bit sticky, so it was really hard to spread the shampoo all the way to my scalp. And the squeaky-clean feeling is both an advantage and a disadvantage - this shampoo is quite squeaky-clean, so for my damaged hair, I had to use a conditioner or treatment, otherwise my hair wouldn't brush out.. Strangely, when I use this, the conditioner doesn't absorb as well, so I have to kind of 'soak' it in.
TipImagine dividing your hair into three big sections horizontally, and thoroughly soak the inner sections with water first, then lather up the bar, almost like you're scrubbing, and that seems to help it spread a bit better.. You have to kind of lift up the hair strands to get it applied properly.

It's a bit powdery, I'd say? When I hung it in the bathroom, it was almost like an air freshener, but after washing my hair, the fragrance didn't linger much on my hair. The biggest advantage seems to be that it generates less waste. The lather forms quite well, but it doesn't stay long in places like the drain. It was sufficient for washing my hair. It seems to rinse hair faster than shampoo. It's like a quick swish and swoosh, and you're done. When massaging the concave part of the shampoo bar, it also feels a bit refreshing.
ConsMy hair does feel a bit stiff compared to shampoo. After rinsing, it feels like there might be a squeaky sound from my hair. With shampoo, adjusting the amount is easy, just a pump or two, but with this, you have to lather it up yourself, so at first, I was either over-lathering or under-lathering. But I suppose you get used to it over time. Using the shampoo bar directly on the scalp means hair strands can get stuck on the product, which can look unsanitary. Peeling them off one by one is a bit of a hassle. +There was also a slightly sour smell towards the end of using it.
TipOverall, I was satisfied. 👍 For people with oily scalp and hair 👍 For people with short hair (bob/pixie cut) 👍 For those who want to wash their hair quickly and conveniently These people might find this product useful. 👎 For people with dry scalp and hair 👎 For people with long hair, or damaged hair from bleaching and perming These people may experience some inconvenience using this.
