In the summer, my oil production increases a lot, and there are days when I have to shampoo twice, but this product has such great cleansing power that one use was enough to wash away the oil, which was great. - Lather: The next best thing was that the lather was incredibly abundant! Even without a lather net, the lather formed well with just my hands, and when I applied it directly to the ends of my hair, the lather was excellent. - Fragrance: I don't like strong fragrances, but this product only had a slight citrusy scent when used, and the fragrance was almost undetectable after rinsing, which I liked. - It was easier to control the amount compared to liquid shampoos. - After using it, there were no scalp issues, the ingredients were good, and the oil was particularly well-washed, so I was overall satisfied with this product.
Cons- One slightly disappointing aspect was that the soap seemed to dissolve a bit too quickly. - Due to the strong cleansing power, my hair felt a bit stiff after rinsing.
TipEven though my hair felt stiff after rinsing, since I don't have dyed or permed hair, I was fine without using a conditioner or hair essence. However, for damaged hair, it would be good to apply a conditioner or hair oil.

As soon as I opened it, I would say it had a grapefruit scent. I really liked the refreshingly cool and fragrant aroma. What I felt after using the shampoo bar for two weeks was that it lathers up really well!! It lathers just as well as regular shampoo!! And it's incredibly refreshing. It feels like it washes away the buildup (?) in my hair much better than regular shampoo!! It's also easy to use, and I didn't really feel any inconvenience. The scent is great, and every time I wash my hair, I feel so refreshed~~❤️ I tend to get oily hair, but after using this for two weeks, I felt like my hair wasn't getting as oily as before! And of course, it doesn't smell as much either. I plan to keep using it going forward ㅎㅎ
ConsThe disappointing part was that these days, people don't really use bars of soap much.. and there's not really a good place to store or keep it. But this one dries up quickly, and even though my bathroom is a bit humid, it dried up fast, so it was easy to store! This was a good point.
TipI'd recommend keeping it on a shampoo holder or a mesh bag when using it! Even without those, the lather still comes out well, but it's more convenient that way!!

Reduction of plastic waste I'm so glad that there's no plastic waste. Regular pump bottles are all made of plastic, but this one only has a small paper box as the entire waste. It feels like I'm doing a small act for the Earth, making me feel like a slightly better person. Personally, I hope more companies will make products like shampoo bars, and more people will use them. ♡ 2. Lather I was worried that the lather wouldn't form well since my scalp is super oily, but it was a needless worry. The lather is great ㅋㅋㅋ The creamy lather is good! 3. Fragrance It has a scent similar to the mild, slightly acidic foam cleansers without added fragrance. I'd say it's practically fragrance-free. 4. Not as thick as expected On the first day of use, I was worried it might be too thick since my scalp is super oily and the lather might not form well, so I applied a lot. But with the right amount, it wasn't thick at all, and it had a nice, clean finish without any residue left behind when rinsing. (Since my scalp is super oily, I never used conditioner or rinse before.)
Cons1. Melts easily. It melts more easily than regular soap. I placed it in the same soap dish, but while the regular soap just stayed there, the shampoo bar melted and got stuck in the drainage holes of the dish. ㅠㅠ The sides are thicker, so I stood it up to dry, but it cracked as it dried, probably because it was too swollen before. The product is good, but it's hard to manage. ㅜㅜ 2. Dosage control is a bit tricky. With regular liquid shampoo, you can control the amount by pumping, but it's a bit tricky with this. Especially when the soap is melted, more of it gets on your head.
TipHanging it in a soap net might help reduce the melting concern~

I was worried that my hair might feel stiff after washing since it's in bar form, but the lather forms well without having to scrub too much, and it seems to cleanse effectively! My hair feels soft, but since I have healthy hair, I may not have noticed stiffness much. However, after using the shampoo and conditioner, my hair feels silky smooth.⭐️ 💚Reducing plastic waste!👍🏻 The product itself doesn't generate any waste aside from the packaging box, and even the packaging uses paper cushioning and paper tape!! I'm really satisfied with the experience, as it reduces plastic waste while providing a usage similar to liquid shampoo. 💚It doesn't easily become soft when stored properly. I placed the silicone brush cleaning cup above it to allow it to dry well. I'm not sure how it would be if I just left it on a regular soap tray.😭
Cons🫧It seems storage is... I don't like it rolling around everywhere, and I was worried it would get soft like regular soap if I just left it on a tray, so I put it on a silicone lid..? cup..? But it ended up drying out a bit too much, and a crack formed on one side. So far, it hasn't broken or fallen off, but if it does, I'll have to rethink the storage method. 🫧There's a tiny bit of hair shedding. I just rubbed the shampoo bar directly onto my hair, and even though I wet my hair thoroughly, my hair would occasionally shed a little. You'll need to be careful with that! 🫧It says it's grapefruit scented, but it's almost unscented! I'm not particularly sensitive to scents, but it's reeeeally barely scented. If you're looking for an unscented option, this might be good, but if you're expecting a grapefruit scent, you might be a bit disappointed. 😢
TipThe hair photos are in order: Regular shampoo - Shampoo bar - Shampoo bar & conditioner When using just the shampoo bar, the hair can feel a bit frizzy and rough, but when using the conditioner as well, the hair becomes soft and silky. So be sure to use a rinse or conditioner along with the shampoo bar.😊

The fragrance is not too stimulating and I like it. They said it was grapefruit-scented, but it's not an artificial grapefruit scent - it's a subtle and refreshing fragrance. The scent goes away after rinsing. 2. The lather is better than expected. These days, when I wash my hair, the lather doesn't come out well due to oil and sweat, but this product lathers up really well! The lather itself is also rich and creamy. 3. The cleansing power is amazing. My hair has been dyed for over a month, and I thought the color had stopped fading after washing with a regular shampoo, but as soon as I used this product, the color started fading again. The cleansing power is great 👍🏻👍🏻 4. The amount also seems to be a lot. I wash my hair twice a day in the summer, and even after using it for two weeks, there's barely any difference in the amount left, compared to when I first started using it.
Cons1. It's a bit disappointing that it dries out and cracks a little bit. 2. After washing your hair, the shampoo-like stiff feeling may be a hit or miss for some people.
TipThis is a well-known tip, but if you place the bottle cap on top, the water won't collect, and you can use it more comfortably.

As this was my first time using a shampoo bar, I was worried that the lather wouldn't be sufficient, especially since I have long hair, but the lather turned out to be really good, which I'm happy about! 2. Fragrance The slightly tangy fragrance is mild, which I liked as it's not overpowering. 3. Usage Usually with scalp care products, there's a stinging or irritating sensation when using them, but this felt similar to using a regular shampoo, so it was comfortable to use.
Cons1. Stiffness After using it, my hair felt a bit stiff when drying, but I found that applying an essence right after resolved this issue. 2. Shampoo bar shape Over time, the shampoo bar can dry out and start to crack or crumble a bit at the edges. And when I applied a bit of pressure to rub it on my hair, the edges did crumble slightly.
TipI recommend applying an essence after using the shampoo bar!

The scent doesn't really stand out, but although it's labeled as grapefruit scent on the case, it has a refreshing and slightly clay-like scent.(?) The scent is quite neutral for use. ⭐️Storage: Since it's a soap, proper care is important, right? Of course, if you keep it in a humid place, it will melt a bit due to the soap's nature, but since you can buy a pack of 2 for 1,000 won at the Daiso, it's easy to manage. I think it's quite sturdy for an eco-friendly product. ⭐️Price: It's a good price if you buy it during a sale. ⭐️Lather: It's sufficient! Even with my long and abundant hair, it's enough to use. ⭐️I'm most grateful that it's eco-friendly and doesn't generate plastic waste!
ConsWhen it gets too hard and stiff, it takes some time to lather up. 😔

If I use the wrong shampoo, I get a lot of dandruff and my head feels itchy even when I just lie on my pillow. I'm very satisfied with this product. There was absolutely no irritation on my scalp👍 The lather was good, the soap didn't get too soft, so it was relatively easy to store, and it seemed to cleanse well (nice and squeaky clean)
ConsI was quite surprised when it felt quite stiff to rinse out, but surprisingly, once it dried, the hair texture was similar to when I just used the shampoo (without conditioner). For reference, I have overall slightly damaged hair, with the ends being more severely damaged from coloring. It had about the same cleansing sensation as a typical clarifying shampoo, so using a conditioner afterwards was fine and didn't cause any issues for me^^ Ah.. I think it was described as having a citrus/grapefruit scent? But it's almost unscented lol Don't expect much in terms of fragrance.
TipDon't think of massaging it directly onto the scalp, but rather massage it into the hair a little away from the scalp. That way, the lather will come out better~

It gets better the longer you use it compared to the initial use 😀 Checked the ingredients and used it as a body wash too, and it was less drying than liquid body wash 🙂 No issues with irritation (for those without pre-existing scalp concerns) 🙂 The scent has a citrusy note 😮 Seems like it will last a long time
Cons😦 Very stiff compared to liquid shampoo, even without any treatments 😖 Before it dries, the hair can get tangled around your arms and hands, which feels like it's being ripped out 😢 Long hair likely needs a treatment, conditioner, or rinse bar 😌 As someone used to a lather maker, lathering by hand was awkward 🥺 Still miss the shampoo scent lingering in the hair (may get used to it with prolonged use) 🥴 The hassle of the lather dripping down and having to let it dry 😮 Can get split ends, but using a soap net prevents the issue 🤨 Unsure what the '2x concentrated liquid shampoo' claim means in terms of volume - liquid shampoo still seems more cost-effective and longer-lasting overall, plus more convenient to use
Tip🧐 Using a soap net is definitely better - it creates more lather and allows you to hang it up 🤓 Tip: If no net, you can store it by sticking the cap back on 😌 Likely better suited for those with shorter hair 🤓 If the lather isn't forming well, you can lightly wet the shampoo bar while using it 🤨 The more lather, the less stiff it tends to be

I had never used a shampoo bar before, so I was curious to try it. The shampoo bar looks like a round bar of soap. The grapefruit scent was very strong, which was surprising. However, the scent wasn't as strong when I was actually shampooing my hair. The scent itself was refreshing, which I liked! As this was my first time using a shampoo bar, I wasn't sure how much lather I needed to create to wash my hair. But I found that even just a small amount created a really rich, voluminous lather on my hair. I had thought that since it's a bar-type product, the lather might not be as abundant, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it lathered. I really dislike it when my hair feels stiff after washing, but while there was a slight stiffness when rinsing, it wasn't overly bothersome. However, if you really dislike any stiffness or prefer a very soft, smooth finish, you may not like this. Personally, the slight stiffness didn't bother me too much. After drying my hair, I noticed that my hair seemed to have more volume than before using the shampoo bar. It felt thicker and more bouncy! I was already quite interested in shampoo bars, and this one lived up to my expectations. The performance, scent, and lather were all great, so I'm very satisfied. I would definitely repurchase once I've used this up. And since one shampoo bar is said to be equivalent to two bottles of liquid shampoo, the value is excellent. I'm now curious to try other shampoo bar products as well!
ConsThe only inconvenient aspect I noticed is that since it's a bar-type product, it can be a bit tricky to store and store when not in use. The surface can also develop cracks if it dries out. But these issues didn't bother me personally during use. If you dislike these types of characteristics, it's something to consider.
