The scent is similar to a bar of soap or baby powder, but it's not overpowering. The loop on the bar makes it easy to hang and use, so it doesn't stick to the bottom or melt away. I was worried that it might make my hair feel too dry, but it actually has just the right amount of moisture, so my hair doesn't feel stripped or brittle.
ConsThe scent doesn't linger for very long, which could be seen as both a pro and a con. Since I already use a shampoo and conditioner routine, this isn't a major downside for me, but it might be a bit disappointing if you were hoping for a stronger fragrance. Using the shampoo bar alone might not be enough for my hair type.
TipI think using a hair treatment or essence in addition to the shampoo bar would be a great way to get the most out of it. Also, be sure not to scrub your hair too vigorously with the bar - just work the lather through with your hands to minimize friction and damage.

Since it is gentle on the scalp, I was able to use it comfortably without worrying about the ingredients, even with my hair loss. It has a similar feel to Lush, but the fragrance is quite appealing! The subtle soap scent is nice, and the product also serves as a bathroom diffuser. It's a product that can be used by children too, and it's convenient to store, so I plan to use it consistently.
ConsThe softness of the hair may be lacking. While I'm satisfied with the ethical ingredients and environmental protection, it would be better to also use a conditioner.
TipAt my age, each strand of hair is precious, so I additionally use a conditioner or essence to make my hair softer.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsUsage: This is the first time I've used the soap shampoo, and it's more convenient to use than I expected. When you lather it up by rubbing it, the foam forms well. Texture: The shape has a nice grip to it. There's a separate cord, so it's good to hang it up, but if the bathroom is humid, it can get soft, so it's better to put it in a dry place after use. Fragrance: When I first received it, I felt the fragrance was strong. It's a powdery, refreshing soap scent. The strong fragrance lingers even after showering. It would be good for those who like strong soap shampoo fragrances.
ConsSince I'm sensitive to fragrances, the strong soap scent is a bit much for me. It's not really my preference. Being a soap shampoo, it's a bit stiffer than regular shampoo. Since my hair is long, there was some tangling, so I had to use a good conditioner.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe fragrance from the soap itself is very strong. 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.

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.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Foaming Soap has a really nice fragrance. It's not overpowering or pungent, but rather refreshing and pleasantly powdery. The lingering scent after showering is just right, not too strong or long-lasting. The best part was that my skin didn't feel itchy after using it. I've really struggled with skin irritation from shower gels in the past, but this one seems to be made with moisturizing or non-irritating ingredients that prevent that unpleasant sensation.
ConsHowever, after checking the Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I found that the product contains some questionable ingredients, which is a bit disappointing. I was hoping it would be a completely safe and trustworthy product. Also, based on the amount of lather and cleansing power, I don't think this would work well as a shampoo. The foam doesn't get very thick or long-lasting, so it may not be sufficient for shampooing. But if you have sensitive skin and prefer a fresh, light fragrance in your products without generating much waste, I would still recommend this.

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📍Packaging: The soap was directly placed in the box, so there was no excessive packaging, which I thought was great! 📍Texture: The soap has a rather hard feel, and the lather seems to be nicely dense. 📍Fragrance: The fragrance is difficult to precisely describe, but it has a somewhat art studio-like scent, a mix of soap and a touch of freshness! It also has a slightly powdery feel. I've been hanging the shampoo bar in my bathroom and using it, and the fragrance gently diffuses through the bathroom, acting like a diffuser, which I really enjoy! 📍Lather: When I thoroughly wet my hair and then rub the shampoo bar, the lather becomes very rich and abundant! 📍Effectiveness: I have an oily scalp that gets greasy quickly, but after using the shampoo bar, the oil buildup is significantly reduced, and my hair stays fresher for longer, which I really appreciate! 📍Shape: The shape is easy to hold, and the grooves make it convenient for storage or when washing my hair.
Cons📍Storage may be a bit challenging, but hanging it for use can be a good solution. 📍While the oil buildup is minimal, after washing, the hair may feel a bit too stiff, so those looking for a shampoo that leaves the hair soft and smooth may find this a bit lacking.
Tip📍For those who find their hair too stiff after using the shampoo, using a conditioner, hair treatment, or hair mask afterwards can be very helpful!

Fragrance While it doesn't have the same aloe-like fragrance, the subtle cucumber scent and powdery aroma are quite nice. If you prefer sweet fragrances or citrus scents, you may find this slightly off-putting, but those who enjoy woody aromas will likely appreciate it. 2. Lather The lather is more abundant and richer compared to regular soap, with a thicker, creamier consistency than typical shampoo. 3. Space The shampoo bar is just the size of a regular bar of soap, and with the strap, it can be easily hung, taking up less space than a shampoo bottle. 4. Scent Diffusion Since the shampoo bar is not contained in a bottle, when hung in the bathroom, its fragrance permeates the space, creating a pleasant, aromatic environment, unlike regular soap which has a more localized scent.
Cons1. Manageability This shampoo bar felt more like a bar of soap than a typical shampoo. For someone with naturally oily hair like myself, using this shampoo bar resulted in tangled and stiff hair. 2. Drying Time The hair takes a long time to dry! Those with fine or thin hair may need to invest more time in the drying process. 3. Ease of Use Unlike regular shampoo that can be easily dispensed in larger amounts, the shampoo bar allows for only small amounts to be used at a time, which can be inconvenient.
TipPlacing the shampoo bar in a mesh holder can help generate more lather.

The scent is not extremely polarizing, but the shampoo bar itself has a relatively strong fragrance. The lingering scent on the hair doesn't seem too strong. 💙Packaging: The simple packaging that seems considerate of the environment is pleasing to me. 💙Texture: It has the typical soft soap texture. Just a little water on the hands and rubbing creates a good lather. It applies smoothly and softly on the hair without feeling stiff. 💙Convenience: Compared to regular pump shampoos, I feel it is just as convenient to use. The attached loop makes it easy to hang on a towel rack for easy access. 💙Cost-effectiveness: They say one shampoo bar can replace 2 bottles of 250ml shampoo, and at that amount, the price doesn't seem bad either. It's an added bonus that it reduces the hassle of buying heavy shampoo bottles and disposing of the waste. 💙Cleansing Power: As someone who prefers a shampoo with strong cleansing power for an oily scalp, the dense lather seems to wash the scalp and hair thoroughly. 💙Low Irritation: My scalp is not extremely sensitive, but I didn't feel any irritation at all. There was none of the tingling sensation like menthol shampoos. With the aloe vera ingredient, it seems suitable even for those sensitive to irritation.
Cons❤Storage: While the expiration date is 1 year, since the packaging is not completely sealed, there is a concern about potential contamination with long-term storage. ❤Usage: After rinsing with water, my hair feels a bit squeaky, which could be a burden for those with dry hair.
TipThanks to Hwahae, I've now tried both a conditioner bar and a shampoo bar. Using the shampoo bar and conditioner bar together, my hair actually feels even softer. The satisfaction of contributing to the environment is an added bonus. If you're interested in environmental friendliness, it's definitely worth giving it a try.🌱
