You can buy it at a reasonable price during the twice-yearly online shop sales. They usually have a sale in May.

The lack of a strong cooling sensation is both an advantage and a disadvantage. While it's difficult to find in regular stores, it's now easier to purchase through online shops.

It doesn't have an overly intense sensation, making it comfortable for daily use. It breaks the stereotype of scalp shampoos. Above all, it's a professional-grade shampoo used in high-end salons, so its quality is proven.

두피에 좋은 진저 앤 레몬 샴푸 모이스처

I think the cooling effect and refreshing feeling would be even more enhanced if used after going out on a hot summer day! Using it with a hair ampoule might help improve hair texture too. I'll keep using it and consider repurchasing in the summer!

Since it's focused on scalp improvement, it did make my hair feel quite stiff. Even after using conditioner, I noticed a difference when brushing my dry hair. Also, because it's so cooling, in this cold weather, it sometimes made my scalp ache to the point of feeling a bit painful.

Here's my review after using it for two weeks! First, I followed the instructions, lathered it up, massaged my scalp, and left it on for about 3 minutes. (I found that this time fits perfectly with my shower routine!) Then, I rinsed it off with lukewarm water, and my scalp felt so refreshed! I've heard that hair loss is often caused by excess heat on the scalp, and this product seems designed to address that issue. Unlike other anti-hair loss shampoos on the market that have a medicinal scent, this one has a pleasant, universally appealing fragrance. And most importantly, the hair fall! It's definitely reduced! This was truly amazing! I have long hair, so even a small amount of shedding is noticeable in the drain, but I could clearly see less hair falling out. For improving hair loss, I highly recommend it!

I honestly can't find any downsides to this product. I've had such a great experience using it! Next time, I'd love to try the volume version in addition to the moisture one.

True to its name, the ginger and lemon scent is absolutely delightful! What's more, with 47% cypress water, there's a subtle forest aroma that adds a refreshing touch. The mildly acidic formula is gentle on the scalp, causing no irritation even after shampooing. I highly recommend this product!

The scent... If the effects weren't this good, I would have immediately tucked it away in my closet and shut the door because of the smell.

It does have notes of lemon and ginger, but somehow it comes across as unpleasant. To me, it smells like medicated ointment. It actually seems like there's a slight burning sensation when I use the shampoo, which might be intensifying the smell. Those who are sensitive to fragrances should definitely take this into consideration.

I've always struggled with scalp dead skin cells, dandruff, and itchiness, but this product has made a huge difference! I've used other brands' soothing products before, but they only maintained the status quo. This one, however, feels like a real solution.

I started using it last week, and I haven't felt any itchiness all week. The dead skin cells and dandruff have also noticeably decreased. I've never seen such impressive results with any other product, so even though it's pricey, I'm planning to stick with this one!

1. If you have a balanced scalp like mine, this shampoo works best on days when your scalp isn't too oily or during dry weather.

2. For those with balanced scalps, I recommend alternating this with a more clarifying shampoo for days when your hair feels extra oily.

1. The added fragrance is a bit disappointing. Although it smells great, I think it could do without it.

2. The product leaked slightly during shipping.

3. For those with balanced scalps like mine, it might feel a bit heavy for regular use. It probably won't suit those with oily scalps.

My scalp and hair are naturally balanced, with thin and curly strands. I wash my hair at night and skip morning washes. By the next evening, it feels slightly oily. Around my period, my hair tends to get dry, and just before and during, it becomes oilier than usual. My regular hair care routine includes:

1. Aromatica Lemongrass Shampoo: for extra oily days
2. Labo-H Basic Shampoo (green): for everyday use and gym
3. Labo-H Treatment: every 3 days
4. Conditioner at the gym (can't recall the name; not recommended)
5. Hair essence - Moremo Hair Balm (pink): almost daily

The benefits I've noticed:

1. The fragrance is amazing! I expected a lemon scent, but it's more like summer peaches. The scent lingers subtly until the next day. While I'm slightly concerned about the added fragrance, as someone sensitive to smells who usually just does a quick spritz of perfume, I find this shampoo's strong but pleasant scent quite enjoyable.

2. Improved hair shine and softness! My hair tends to get dry about 10 days before my period. Using this product during that time made a noticeable difference. Even with just the shampoo, my hair feels softer than when using Labo-H. It's so effective that I can skip conditioner and treatment, which I find tedious.

3. It seems to be a perfect match for those with dry scalps prone to dead skin cells. My friend with this issue says it leaves her scalp feeling moisturized with a slight minty sensation. I've noticed a reduction in visible flakes too.

Since it's a shampoo, just use an amount appropriate for your hair length and condition

As for downsides... there's not really anything specific. Maybe if the packaging was a bit prettier? That's honestly the only thing I can think of!

The scent was lovely, and it had beneficial properties for the scalp. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but it seemed like I was losing less hair too!

For days when there's heavy air pollution,
or when you need more cleansing power due to excess oil:

1. Soak your scalp in a basin or sink
If you don't have a place to soak, thoroughly wet your hair multiple times
When washing just your hair, wet it once with the shower head,
then fill the sink and pour water over several times to save water!

2. Pre-shampoo
Use just one pump, lather well, apply to the entire scalp, and gently massage

3. Main shampoo
After pre-shampooing, even a small amount lathers well on the scalp
Create a good lather, massage, then leave for 3 minutes (brushing teeth recommended)
Rinse thoroughly, and you'll get a complete cleanse even with a mildly acidic formula!

Looking at the ingredients, it also contains salicylic acid (BHA),
so I highly recommend this method!

- The mildly acidic characteristics are prominent:
The slightly slippery feel might be hit or miss.
If you've used mildly acidic shampoos before, you'll probably be fine with it.

Similarly, it doesn't give a squeaky clean feeling.
Those who prefer that squeaky feel or have oily hair might not like it.
The cleansing effectiveness might be insufficient for very oily scalps.
(Note that this is more about the mildly acidic nature rather than this specific shampoo's characteristics)

- Price:
500ml for 33,000 won...
The biggest hurdle in switching immediately is that it's not just for me, but for the whole family, so it's a bit pricey.
Hoping it sells well so they can offer larger sizes and lower prices.
⭐️Please introduce refill packs like other brands!!!!⭐️

*More feedback than a con:
It came in a box with paper cushioning wrapped around, which is good for using paper and considering the box material,
but the shampoo had leaked completely..
While it could have been a faulty pump seal,
it would be good to consider ways to secure the product in the box
(I hope this gets sorted out because I like the shampoo)

- My hair type:
Recently, my scalp has been quite irritated and dry, with flaky dead skin cells. I wash my hair almost daily for going out.

When I wash at night, it's fine until the next evening, but it can get oily earlier depending on the environment. Regardless, I need to wash daily for social outings.
*My skin is combination dehydrated and super sensitive.

- Subtle fragrance:
It has a subtle sweet scent with a hint of freshness. The smell isn't too sweet or strong, reminiscent of flower tea. I personally like it.

- Ingredients + Feel:
I appreciate the (relatively) healthy surfactants. It lathers well and doesn't leave hair feeling stiff - that's a plus!

Since I use shampoo frequently and my scalp hasn't been in great shape lately, this feels good both physically and mentally to use at such times.
Given that I wash almost daily, I'm glad it's mildly acidic.

While not exactly a cooling shampoo, there's a very slight warming sensation. It feels a bit cool, which is perfect since I don't like intense cooling effects.
My current shampoo also has a slight warming effect, but this one feels more subtle, so I'm considering switching.

*Highly cleansing shampoos can strip too much oil, potentially stimulating more oil production. So I usually use a mildly acidic shampoo and occasionally use a deep cleansing shampoo (scalp scaler).

This isn't because I'm part of The Hwahae Testers,
It's just a shampoo that suits my usage habits.
Everything about it is just right, not too much or too little, which I really like!

Pro Tip: Use with a scalp brush
➡️ For an extra refreshing clean, don't scratch your scalp with your nails. Instead, use a scalp brush while shampooing - it works hard to boost that clean feeling!

The Hwahae Testers' Concerns:
• The fragrance wasn't to my liking
  ➡️ Scent preferences vary from person to person, and unfortunately, this shampoo's fragrance wasn't my cup of tea.

• It doesn't lather as much
  ➡️ It doesn't produce as much foam as the shampoos I usually use. However, it still leaves my hair feeling very clean in the end!

• The moisturizing finish makes it hard to tell if it's fully rinsed out
  ➡️ My usual shampoos leave my scalp feeling 'squeaky clean' when rinsed, but this one leaves a moisturized feeling. At first, I wasn't sure if I had rinsed it all out, but it turns out I had!

Scalp condition - I have super sensitive skin, not just on my face but also on my scalp! If I skip washing my hair for even a day, it gets oily, flaky, and I even get blemishes on my scalp. At one point, my scalp condition was so severe that I had to get a prescription from a dermatologist for seborrheic dermatitis.

The Hwahae Testers' Favorite Points:
• Hair feels so soft you might not need conditioner
  ➡️ I have very long hair and usually need conditioner, but after using this shampoo, my hair is incredibly soft and much less tangled even before conditioning!

• Reduces greasiness and eliminates dandruff
  ➡️ Normally my hair gets greasy if I skip washing for a day, but with this shampoo, it feels moisturized without being greasy! Also, when I use shampoos that don't suit me, I get blemishes and severe dandruff, but I had none of these issues while using this product! When I first started using it, I had terrible dandruff, but after just 2-3 washes, it was almost completely gone!

• Significantly reduces hair loss
  ➡️ Usually, I see a lot of hair fall out when I shampoo and condition, but since using this shampoo, I've noticed a dramatic decrease in hair loss!

• Leaves scalp feeling refreshed
  ➡️ I prefer shampoos that leave my scalp feeling clean, and this one definitely does the job. When I first used it, I felt a strong cooling sensation on my scalp!

I recommend first doing a preliminary wash, then for the second wash, create a rich lather and apply it to your scalp like a mask. This leaves your scalp feeling incredibly refreshed and gives your hair a healthier feel.

When using shampoo, I'm particularly sensitive to fragrance. The lemon-ginger scent is barely noticeable, almost scentless, which I find a bit disappointing.

My hair has been severely damaged from frequent coloring and perming, causing frequent hair loss. I've tried various anti-hair loss shampoos, but most of them left my hair feeling stiff and difficult to comb after washing. As someone with dry hair, I had a negative impression of anti-hair loss shampoos. However, the Obra product left my hair feeling soft after shampooing. Surprisingly, it rinsed clean without leaving my scalp feeling slippery. I was amazed at how refreshing it felt! Even with a small amount, it produces a rich lather, which I really appreciated.

I usually wash my hair in two steps.
First, I focus on cleansing the scalp, then I wash the entire head again. Leaving it on for about 2-3 minutes before rinsing seems to give the best results!

This is just my personal opinion, but since I have an oily scalp, my hair starts to get greasy again by evening if I wash it in the morning.
For those without oily scalps, this shampoo should work well!

(For oily hair types!)
The consistency is thinner than regular shampoo, and the amount dispensed per pump is just right.
It smells great, and after use, my hair feels noticeably softer.
I have color-treated hair but an oily scalp, so I mainly used shampoos for oily hair. After using those, my hair would often feel stiff, so I had to rely on treatments or hair essences.
With this shampoo, I don't need to do that, which is fantastic!

If I don't rinse thoroughly enough, my hair feels slippery, but if I rinse for too long, it becomes stiff and squeaky clean. I'm not sure which is correct. The scent might be polarizing. It starts off as a fresh lemon fragrance, but after a while, it develops a medicinal smell.

I prefer a more fluid texture that's easy to pump out, rather than one that's too thick to dispense. It lathers well and seems to have good cleansing effectiveness. Honestly, I wish the testing period had been longer. I'm not sure if it's helping my scalp yet. My hair is shedding as usual (no noticeable reduction).

I have a dry scalp. I've used about three bottles of beer yeast shampoo, and now I'm using a women's shampoo as I'm pregnant. However, the Obra product is much better! Even washing every other day, I don't lose much hair, which is fantastic! I think it's even better than the beer yeast shampoo, so I'm planning to repurchase after this use.

Personally, I find the scent a bit disappointing. While it's related to the ingredients in the product, it feels artificial. I generally don't prefer products with strong fragrances, so that might be why I feel this way!

As a Hwahae Tester, I didn't use this shampoo alone but shared it with my husband. He has a problematic scalp with seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, and dead skin cells. Popular brands sold in supermarkets like H**x have no effect at all. My husband uses this shampoo daily and says it's really great. His dandruff and flaking have visibly reduced compared to before. This product has eased our shampoo worries. Being a moisturizing formula, it also leaves the hair feeling incredibly soft!
