It's less drying than other products, and it lathers up really well.
ConsFor a soap, it doesn't make my hair as stiff as others, but it still leaves it somewhat rigid. You'll definitely need to use a conditioner after.

Unlike the liquid shampoos I've used before, which always caused itching, tingling, and dryness, this product didn't cause any of these issues on my scalp. It's great that there's no waste to deal with, unlike liquid shampoos that generate a lot of trash. The shampoo bar lathers up better than I expected, making it easy to use without any hassle. While the bubbles are larger than those from liquid shampoos, it doesn't make it inconvenient to use. The rich lather allows me to wash my hair without needing a shower cap, which is nice. It's also great for travel as it's portable and can be easily packed in a case. The scent is mild, similar to handmade soap, making it suitable for those who can't tolerate strong fragrances.
ConsOne downside is that you need to buy a separate container to store the shampoo bar, which means an additional purchase alongside the bar itself. After rinsing, your hair might feel stiffer compared to liquid shampoos, so you'll definitely need to use a conditioner or treatment to achieve that soft feeling.

However, I'm so glad I got to try it as part of The Hwahae Testers! First off, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it lathers - it creates a rich, creamy foam, especially when used with a foam net. It does wear down faster than expected, so I've been storing it on the net to dry after use. For best results, follow up with conditioner to achieve silky smooth hair.
ConsThe bar form means it can get a bit soft and mushy, which is slightly disappointing. But I understand it's for the sake of the environment...

First off, it lathers incredibly well for a soap bar, leaving my hair feeling refreshingly clean. The experience was so good, I kept wondering if it really was just soap! Secondly, it dries quickly, making it convenient to use. Unlike regular soap bars that tend to stay wet, this shampoo bar dries much better. Thirdly, I love that it comes without unnecessary plastic packaging - a big plus for those of us interested in zero waste. I was genuinely surprised to find the bar directly inside the box! Lastly, it's not as drying as you might expect. Often, shampoo bars can leave your hair feeling stiff, but this one isn't overly harsh on the hair.
ConsThe downside is that the fragrance is milder than expected. Also, being a soap bar, there's always the risk of it dissolving if not stored properly.
TipHere's a storage tip: Use a thick slice of loofah (not the cheap dollar store kind, but a good quality one) as a base for the bar. This helps with storage and keeps the bar in good condition!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHair texture: - Despite being a bar form, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't make my hair stiff. I used a shampoo-treatment-conditioner routine, so I didn't notice much difference, but keep in mind that using the shampoo alone might feel a bit stiff. Scalp comfort: - I loved that this product didn't cause any scalp itching or blemishes. Even though I have a dry scalp, I didn't experience any dryness or itchiness! I was extremely satisfied that even after 2-3 days of not washing my hair while staying at home, I didn't feel any itchiness. Formulation: - Unlike other bar products that seem to dissolve quickly when exposed to water and moisture, this one felt more solid and didn't seem to get used up as fast. Lather: - I was worried that creating a lather might be time-consuming and annoying since it's not a liquid form, but it actually produced a rich lather quickly and easily! Brand: - I've heard a lot about the Donggubat brand before and liked their philosophy. I was even more satisfied to see that they truly embody their values in their products, from the packaging materials to the inclusion of braille and the absence of unnecessary inner packaging. After trying the product myself and finding its performance excellent, I'm inspired to use more solid products to reduce waste.
ConsWhile some people might find shampoo bars unfamiliar at first, you'll quickly get used to them, so I encourage you to give it a try!
TipThe instructions say to rub it directly on wet hair and scalp to create a lather, but I found it more convenient to lather it in my hands first before applying.

It cleanses effectively and moisturizes my scalp well. I haven't experienced any itchiness or discomfort while using it. I'm extremely satisfied with this shampoo, especially because it's free from preservatives and artificial fragrances, making its ingredients superior to conventional shampoos.
ConsCompared to regular shampoos, it leaves my hair feeling a bit stiff, so I needed to use an additional treatment, which was slightly disappointing. Also, the soap bar tends to crack a little during use, but it doesn't significantly affect its functionality.

The scent is almost unscented with a slight tea leaf aroma - I don't think it'll be polarizing! As someone with combination oily skin, I loved how it cleanses thoroughly without over-drying my scalp.
ConsIt's unavoidable that hair feels a bit stiff after using a shampoo bar. Using a conditioner afterwards seems essential.
TipMake sure to store your shampoo bar on a soap dish! Since it cleanses with foam, using a mesh bag is also a good idea.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with super sensitive skin, I'm always cautious about what touches my face, even shampoo. That's why I've been using scalp care shampoos consistently. My scalp tends to be oily, but my hair is dry, so I always follow up with a treatment after shampooing. The Donggubat solid shampoo continues to impress me. It's about the size of a regular bar of soap, unscented, and made with great ingredients. It lathers up wonderfully with just a little rubbing on wet hair, cleansing deep into the scalp. Naturally, it doesn't cause any blemishes. While rinsing, it might feel a bit stiff, but once dry, my hair becomes soft even without conditioner. It leaves no residue, giving a clean feeling, and most importantly, styling is easier than usual. With other scalp care shampoos, I often struggle to style my hair neatly, but this one helps it fall into place nicely. I love its convenient size, quality ingredients, clean usage, and the fact that it doesn't produce waste after use.
ConsIt can feel a bit stiff while washing and rinsing, which is uncomfortable, and being a solid soap, it requires proper storage to prevent melting.
TipI recommend using it together with the Donggubat conditioner.

Luckily, I got selected as one of The Hwahae Testers, which gave me a great opportunity to try it out. First off, I was pleased that this bar doesn't cause that strange itchiness some shampoo bars can leave you with after washing. Even though I have oily skin, I've been washing my hair twice a day due to the hot weather, and this shampoo bar keeps my scalp from getting too dry - it strikes just the right balance. I'm not a fan of overpowering scents, but this one has a pleasantly subtle fragrance. I also appreciate the minimal packaging, which means less waste. As for lather, I use it with a bubble net, and it produces a rich, creamy foam.
ConsCompared to my previous shampoo bar, this one seems to leave my hair feeling a bit stiffer. I think I might need to use a conditioner bar along with it!
TipUsing it with a bubble net not only helps create a great lather but also allows for better ventilation, preventing the bar from getting soggy and extending its lifespan.

Initially, I thought soap might be overly drying or make my hair stiff, but that wasn't the case. It left my scalp feeling squeaky clean, while the hair itself felt about as dry as it would with regular shampoo. I guess that's thanks to the camellia and olive oils in the ingredients. If you want to try a shampoo bar and have normal to dry hair, I'd recommend this. You might think a soap wouldn't lather well, but it actually produces a rich foam. Of course, it's not as effortless as squeezing out liquid shampoo - you need to work it in a bit. Being low pH to reduce scalp irritation, it feels gentle on the scalp. As a bonus, there's a nice feeling of contributing to environmental protection by avoiding plastic packaging.
ConsIt's supposed to have a grapefruit scent, but I can't smell anything at all. It's more like unscented, or just a natural smell.
TipTo get a good lather, use one of those foam-enhancing nets sold at Daiso. Rub it vigorously and plop it on your crown - you'll get a satisfyingly rich lather.
