The best part is that the scent is really nice! Keeping it in the bathroom, the fragrance was pleasant, and even after washing my hair, the refreshing scent lingered. The cleansing power is excellent! My hair felt clean and refreshed, and it was easier to rinse out compared to the regular shampoo I normally use. The lather is great! As I was using a bar-shaped stick for the first time, I was quite worried about the lather, but it lathered up nicely.
ConsThe downside is For those with dry skin and hair, it can be drying. Without using a conditioner after shampooing, my hair felt very dry. It wears down easily. Since my hair is on the longer side, the shampoo seemed to wear down faster, and I felt I needed to buy a new one after about a month of use. It contains a lot of allergen ingredients. As I already have various allergies and sensitive skin, the ingredients were a concern. (However, I didn't experience any breakouts during the usage period.)
TipWhile the pros and cons vary, I'm satisfied enough to continue using it! I wish there was a more moisturizing version for dry hair types.

In the past, when I used a shampoo bar, I had to dissolve it a lot in water to create lather, and it felt like the soap was diminishing. But with the Formi Shampoo Bar, a soft lather forms quickly :) It feels like the cleansing power increases without any scalp irritation! The grip feels good when holding it in your hand, and the curved shape makes it really easy to use when massaging it into your hair! As a vegan product, I trusted it even more, and since my scalp is sensitive, I was even more satisfied with the mild acidity. The best part about this shampoo bar was the loop attached to it, which prevents it from touching the bottom. When you leave a bar of soap on the bottom, the bottom part melts away, so you can't use it for long, and it's unhygienic. I was really impressed that they didn't overlook that detail.
ConsThere was a slight stiffness after using it, probably because it's a bar of soap. I think people with oily hair would like it. My hair is very long and damaged, so that might have been the reason. I highly recommend it for people with medium-length hair or men, especially for use at the gym.
TipBe sure to use a conditioner thoroughly after using the shampoo bar! Don't rub it too much into your hair.

The lather is great and it cleans well! And the scent is nice too. Hanging it in the bathroom, the nice smell spreads around and makes me a little happy💚 I think it's better to thoroughly wet your hair first and then apply the shampoo bar directly to your head, rather than lathering it in your hands and then applying.
ConsSince it's essentially a soap (?) it feels a bit stiff. It has a similar feel to a scalp shampoo..! It's okay when rinsing, but once you start rinsing it gets extremely stiff..! You'll need to use a conditioner or hair essence to make it manageable🙃
TipYou should thoroughly!! Extremely thoroughly!! wet your hair before using it, so the lather comes out well and it rinses cleanly!!

It suits me, who has an extremely oily scalp, very well! As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I can say that this is truly the shampoo bar of my life... I thought shampoo bars wouldn't lather well, but it lathers beautifully and has excellent cleansing power. Using it as a pre-shampoo treatment can give even better results! After using it, I felt very refreshed and squeaky clean. You know, us folks with oily scalps, cleanliness is our lifeblood... Even after using it all up, I plan to repurchase it with my own money. I'm so happy with it...🫶
ConsNone. The packaging and product performance are all extremely satisfactory!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- Does not cause any skin irritation. - Produces a rich, abundant lather. - Has a pleasant fragrance (powdery, subtle diffuser-like scent). - Provides effective cleansing (leaves the scalp feeling well-cleansed of oil). - The packaging is eco-friendly (the soap is directly placed in a paper box).
Cons- There is hardly any lingering fragrance after drying the hair. - Feels too soft and weak after being in contact with water. - There may be some itchiness after use, possibly due to the ingredients. - Lacks a cooling sensation (personally, I prefer shampoos with a cooling effect). - When applied directly to the hair, it doesn't seem to do much for the hair texture.
Tip- It's better to create lather in the hands and then apply it to the hair, rather than rubbing it directly on the head. - While there is a strap, the soap's nature causes the strap part to become thin and prone to falling off, so it may need to be stored separately. - After washing the hair, it felt like a mild acid cleansing, but when drying, the hair became a bit stiff and dry.

It was easier to use than I expected, and the lather was good. The cleansing power also seems decent.
Cons- The part with the string attached may gradually dissolve, which is a bit disappointing. - The ingredients could be improved a bit further.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Fragrance: I thought it was an air freshener, but as soon as I opened the parcel, the fragrance wafted out. I hung it in the bathroom, and the whole bathroom was filled with the lovely scent. 2. Cleansing Power: I was worried that the shampoo bar wouldn't clean well, but it lathered up beautifully and rinsed out thoroughly. 3. Sensitivity: I have a sensitive scalp, but I didn't experience any scalp issues after using the shampoo bar. 4. Most Appreciated: No excessive packaging! The shampoo bar came in a box without any additional wrapping, which made me feel like they were mindful of the environment.
Cons- The strong cleansing power may leave the hair feeling a bit stiff if you don't use a conditioner afterwards. Those with dry scalps may also find it a bit drying. - The shampoo bar didn't dry as quickly as expected, so it dripped onto the bathroom floor.
TipMake sure to thoroughly wet your hair and scalp before using the shampoo bar, and then add a bit of water to work up a rich, creamy lather. This will help ensure optimal cleansing and rinsing.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros💚First of all, the fragrance was really nice. When I hung it in the bathroom, the fragrance spread like a diffuser. 💚It cleanses thoroughly and refreshingly. I felt a slight cooling sensation (personal opinion). When I used a shampoo bar from another company before, I could still feel some residue even after rinsing several times, and there was some itchiness, but with this product, I didn't experience that even after using it for over a week. 💚The shape is convenient to use. The slightly curved shape makes it easy to apply directly to the hair. I didn't expect this, but I'm glad it's so convenient! It also lathers well. And I liked the attached string too. Bars of soap are sometimes prone to getting soft when stored in a container.
ConsThere seems to be an unavoidable stiffness. It's not severe, but it's still a shampoo bar. I don't particularly like my hair feeling weighed down, but it was still okay for me. Those who don't like that might want to use a conditioner or rinse thoroughly.
TipIt seems to lather well and have a nice fragrance, so it's good for massaging the scalp while washing your hair :)

It quickly produces a rich lather when it touches water. The cleansing power is good. It seems suitable for those with oily skin. It's also good for traveling as it doesn't take up much space.
ConsThe cleansing power is good, but it seems to strip away the moisture from my hair.

The lather was also good, and I was able to cleanse my scalp without any irritation. It seems to have a soothing effect on the scalp due to the aloe vera.
ConsSo far, I haven't experienced any issues or troubles, and I'm using it well. Since I'm using a shampoo bar for the first time in a while, I feel like I'm still going through an adjustment period.
TipIf you put the soap bar in a soap net, the lather becomes more voluminous and nicer. It's better to work up the lather and then rinse your hair, rather than rubbing the soap bar directly on your scalp.
