While it did have a scent, the fragrance was not very distinct or strong, and once my hair dried, the remaining scent would disappear, which I personally preferred. Additionally, since it doesn't take up much space, I was able to keep my bathroom cleaner. It also lathers well and doesn't lack in cleansing power.
ConsTo be honest, if I just look at the product quality, I would give it a 3 out of 5 or even a 2.5. But since the limitations or characteristics of a shampoo bar are inherent, I rated it a 4. While washing my hair with the shampoo bar, there is a stiff feeling that is really quite rare! (Of course, compared to regular shampoo, it is still stiffer!) However, when rinsing it off, I really get a sudden stiff feeling, and especially when drying my hair, it becomes so stiff that brushing is quite difficult. If you have short or bob-length hair, you can probably tolerate it, but as someone with long hair, I found it very inconvenient every time I dried my hair. 😢 And the longer the hair, the faster it wears down... I bought the shampoo bar to be eco-friendly, but considering the price of regular shampoo, it is on the pricier side.
TipI've tried all three types of Donggu Field shampoo bars - oily, dry, and normal. My scalp is neither too dry nor too oily, so I didn't experience any issues like excessive dandruff or greasy buildup with any of the three products. They all seemed to be the same product to me, just with different colors.

I'm also quite sensitive to scents, but the fragrance wasn't too strong, which I liked. The cleansing power isn't extremely strong, but it was just right for my combination skin type. There are still many people who don't use bar soap shampoos, but using this shampoo in paper packaging would be a great help to the environment.
ConsThe only downside is that since I do want to repurchase it, I wish the price was a bit more affordable.

Fragrance: It says it's grapefruit scented, but I don't smell it at all. It has a typical natural cosmetics? smell. It's not unpleasant, but it's not fragrant either. 2. Lather: This is my first time using a shampoo bar, so I was worried if it would lather well. But it lathers really well. Just rubbing it on the scalp a couple of times creates a rich lather. Even on my oily scalp, the lather lasts for two days after washing. It's as good as a liquid shampoo. 3. Oily Scalp: I have an oily scalp, but this seems to be for normal to dry hair. Sure enough, the oil comes back the next day. Those with very oily scalps might find it gets greasy too quickly. Recommended for those with normal to dry hair. 4. Convenience: I use it without a separate holder, just placing it on the sink, and it's not inconvenient at all. The soap is firm, so it doesn't get mushy, and the shape is well-maintained.
ConsThere's just one thing - since it's a solid, if you don't wet the soap enough when first applying it to the scalp, some hair does fall out and the soap sticks to the hair. The soap formula is quite firm, so rubbing it on in a dry state doesn't seem right.
TipYou need to wet the soap sufficiently before applying it! Otherwise, your hair will fall out and get stuck to the soap ㅠㅠ And I found out it's made by a company that collaborates with people with disabilities. That's great 👍

It cleanses well and the lather is soft, rolling nicely through my hair. However, you'll need to use a conditioner after rinsing to make your hair soft. 👃🏻Fragrance It has a light floral scent that is not overbearing. It seems to be a light fragrance that won't be disliked by many. 💭Cleansing Power Although it's for normal hair, it had sufficient cleansing power even for my oily scalp. I'm not extremely oily, but my forehead and crown tend to get oily by the evening. But after using this normal hair shampoo bar from Dongguban, I felt my scalp became less oily and fluffier. 💙Perceived Effects Most importantly, I had been getting pimples due to the hot weather, but they started to subside after using this product! I felt it cleansed the oil and impurities well during the hot summer. 🍀Dongguban is a social enterprise that aims to employ over 50% of its staff as people with developmental disabilities. And recently, they fully compensated the damages suffered by customers and partner companies due to Tmon's no-exchange, no-refund policy. (Source: Dongguban website) The product quality also seems good, so those interested may want to give it a try.
ConsIt would be nice if the package included information about other product lines in the same series. From the consumer's perspective, having an easier way to access information about the product range would be helpful.
TipYou can lather it directly on your hair and it foams up quite well. Leaving it on for 2-3 minutes and then rinsing makes it cleanse even more thoroughly.

The cleansing power was good, and it provided good scalp hydration without any itchiness or discomfort during use. As it does not contain preservatives or artificial fragrances, the ingredients are better than regular shampoos, and I am very satisfied with using it.
ConsCompared to regular shampoos, there is a slightly stiff feeling, so I had to use a conditioner additionally, which was a bit disappointing. And the soap tends to crack a bit during use, but it doesn't cause any major inconvenience.

It seems suitable for people sensitive to fragrances, but may not be suitable for those who want a long-lasting scent. 2) Cleansing Power After rubbing the shampoo bar a few times on the hair and rinsing with water, the lather becomes rich and dense, providing a pleasant user experience. Although I was skeptical about the pH-balanced acidic care and plant-derived safe ingredients, the abundant lather effectively cleansed the scalp of impurities, similar to regular shampoos. 3) Usage With ingredients like spinach powder, centella extract, camellia oil, and olive oil, the hair and scalp feel soft and moisturized after using the shampoo bar, without a dry, squeaky clean sensation, providing a satisfactory finish. 4) Volume The 120g shampoo bar is equivalent to 2 regular shampoo bottles, allowing for a total of 60 uses.
ConsSince it is a soap-type product, if a separate soap dish is not provided, there is a melting sensation, which is a bit disappointing.
TipIf you want more fragrance, using a hair essence or oil product with a scent would be a good idea.

I liked that the fragrance was not too overpowering. ➿Packaging: The product comes in a paper box with the soap bar visible, and there is even Braille on the front, which gave me a very detailed impression. ➿Texture and Cleansing Power: This was my first time using a shampoo bar, and I thought it would dissolve quickly, but it was firm and had good cleansing power. A little bit lathers up really well! ➿Irritation: As it's for normal to dry scalp, even with my dry scalp, my hair didn't feel dry or itchy after washing, and I didn't get any scalp pimples, which was great. ✔️It seems to produce less dandruff than regular shampoos. ✔️The size is not too big, so it doesn't take up much space. ✔️The cleansing power is good, and the lather is rich. ✔️The lack of irritation even helped my pimples subside.
Cons▪️It's a soap bar, not a pump shampoo, so you have to lather it up several times, which is a bit of a hassle. ▪️If you only use the shampoo, the hair gets stiff, so you have to use a treatment or rinse as well.
Tip▫️There are several tips for storage, and I bought a soap dish from Daiso to use with it. The soap itself dries up quickly, so it should last a long time. ▫️If the lather doesn't come easily by hand, you can brush your hair like brushing to get the lather going quickly.

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 is not too strong and has a subtle aroma, but when lathered, the scent does not come out strongly, which I liked. The feeling of being thoroughly cleansed and the scalp feeling refreshed is great. It's like a healthy shampoo bar. I first tried it on my family members with short hair, and it feels more smooth and clean compared to regular shampoo. I have a scalp with occasional flakiness and a slightly warm sensation, but it doesn't feel irritating and I can use it gently. If you are looking to improve your scalp health, this would be a good option to try.
ConsFor long hair, it was a bit difficult and time-consuming to create a good lather. Since you have to lather it while applying, rather than pre-lathering, it was a bit inconvenient for my long, thick hair. But for short hair, it's convenient. Since it's a bar form, it can get soft when in contact with water, which is a bit disappointing.
TipTo make lathering easier, you can put it in a mesh bag when using. Storing it on a soap dish or the cap of a water bottle can also help prevent it from getting too soft and allow you to use it for longer. The clean, squeaky-clean feeling is great, but for long or thick hair, using a conditioner after shampooing can help prevent it from feeling too stiff.

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- Scalp: Strong oily scalp - Packaging: I like the eco-friendly packaging. As someone who doesn't understand why shampoos are packaged in a box with a plastic wrap inside, I'm glad this one just has the shampoo bar in the box. - Fragrance: It says it's grapefruit scented, but I don't really smell much of a grapefruit fragrance. Personally, I like floral and herbal scents, and the subtle fragrance here was nice. - Lather: When I wet it and start lathering, a rich and creamy lather forms quickly. - Cleansing Power: I was worried the product might not be able to handle the excess oil on my scalp during the very hot summer weather, since it's for normal to dry hair. But after thoroughly wetting my hair and working up a good lather with my hands, focusing on my scalp, it worked great. The cleansing power is good, and most importantly, my scalp doesn't get oily again quickly! With regular shampoos, I always feel like there's residue left behind, so I end up using a lot of water and getting pimples on my scalp. With the shampoo bar, I can just lather up what I need and rinse it off, leaving no residue behind. My scalp is usually oily, so I've always used oil-control shampoos, which left my hair feeling dry. But this Dongguban shampoo bar cleanses my scalp well without drying out my hair.
ConsI'm a bit disappointed that the grapefruit scent isn't stronger. I wish the fragrance was more pronounced.
TipSince this is a shampoo bar, not a liquid, it's best to keep it in a well-draining case so it lasts a long time. Putting the plastic cap from a plastic bottle under the bar helps it drain and last longer.

Scent) The grapefruit scent was there as soon as I opened the box. Even after washing my hair, the grapefruit scent remained, and it was a natural, non-artificial fragrance that I liked. Lather) The lather was better than I expected. When I used to use liquid shampoo, the lather felt weak and lacking in density, but the Dongubat shampoo bar had a dense and soft lather that surprised me. Scalp) The best part was that the itchiness decreased. When I used shampoos with a lot of chemicals, my scalp would still itch even after washing, but the irritation to my scalp has decreased. My hair also feels refreshed. Moisture) Originally, after washing my hair, water would drip down no matter how much I squeezed it, which was very inconvenient. But now, after patting it down with a towel once or twice, it doesn't drip down as much, which was so helpful when getting ready or doing my makeup. Plus, my hair dried much faster! I used to have to dry it for at least 10 minutes, but now it's dry in less than 5 minutes! Skin) I have acne-prone skin during puberty, and my hair (both short and long) would stick to my face, causing a lot of acne. But after using this, my acne has definitely decreased! If you have acne due to your hair, I really recommend this. It's summer, so my hair used to get greasy and itchy, and the heat would easily rise, especially on my scalp and roots. But it doesn't seem to get as hot anymore! Even after going outside, my scalp feels refreshed. My bangs don't get as greasy either! I'd recommend this to students with bangs as well.
ConsStiffness) There was some stiffness, as is characteristic of a shampoo bar. If you have a conditioner bar, using that together would be a good idea. I'm still using the conditioner I was using before!
TipA lot of people recommend using a lather net, but I don't really recommend that. Instead, I just wet my scalp and rub the soap directly on my scalp to create the lather. That way, the scent lasts longer and it cleans better.
