The scent is subtle and not overpowering, which I personally prefer as it disappears after drying my hair. It's also great for keeping the bathroom tidy since it doesn't take up much space. The lather is good, and its cleansing effectiveness is not lacking at all!
ConsHonestly, if I were to rate the product alone, I'd give it 3 or 2.5 stars, but considering the limitations or characteristics of shampoo bars, I'm settling on 4 stars. While washing, it doesn't feel too stiff (though it's stiffer than regular shampoo, of course!). However, when rinsing, it feels extremely stiff, and especially when drying, my hair becomes so rigid it's hard to brush. It might be tolerable for short hair, but as someone with long hair, it was really uncomfortable every time I dried my hair. Also, for longer hair, it wears down quickly. Although I used this shampoo bar for environmental reasons, it's quite expensive compared to regular shampoo prices.
TipI've tried all versions of Donggubat shampoo bars - for oily, dry, and combination hair. My scalp isn't particularly dry or oily, so I didn't experience excessive dandruff due to dryness or greasiness with any of them. To me, they all felt like the same product, just in different colors!

I started using this shampoo because my summer anti-dandruff shampoo felt way too drying as autumn approached. So I switched to this one for combination to dry hair. While it doesn't feel overly hydrating for a combination-dry hair product (I personally still feel a bit of dryness), it's decent enough for regular use. It feels great knowing there won't be any waste after I'm done with it! It's not a huge thing, but I feel proud thinking it might help the environment a bit. Although it's a bar soap and might get used up quickly, if it lasts as long as a 300ml bottle of shampoo, the price is quite reasonable. It's surprising to feel this satisfied with a shampoo!
ConsDoes this product make your hair stiff?! It completely deflates my root volume. My hair just falls flat. It's already hard enough to get volume at the roots with my fine hair, so I absolutely avoid using this on days when I have plans or need to look put-together. Sometimes I think it's not a big deal that my hair doesn't stand up, but then I end up really disliking how my hair looks. This alone is enough to make me not want to repurchase it.
TipIt would be nice if they included a foaming net. I bought one separately for about $2 at a household goods store, and it makes using the shampoo much more convenient.

I'm currently on my third purchase!
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that it makes my hair feel slightly stiff. I've noticed it's better when I alternate it with other shampoos. Being in bar form, it's not as convenient as liquid shampoo.

In summer, my scalp gets oily even after just one day, so I sometimes shampoo twice. But with this product, its cleansing effectiveness is so good that using it once is enough to wash away the excess oil - I love it! - Lather: Another great point is how incredibly well it lathers! You don't need a separate foam net; it creates a rich lather even just with your hands. Even if you apply it directly to your hair ends and rub, it produces an excellent lather - that's fantastic! - Scent: I'm not a fan of strong fragrances, but this product has just a hint of a citrusy scent when using it, which almost completely disappears after rinsing - that's perfect for me. - It's easier to control the amount compared to liquid shampoos, which is a plus. - After using it, I didn't experience any blemishes on my scalp. The ingredients are good, and it's especially effective at washing away excess oil. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product.
Cons- One slight downside is that the soap bar seems to soften quite quickly. - Because of its strong cleansing power, my hair feels a bit stiff after rinsing, which is somewhat disappointing.
TipEven though my hair feels stiff after rinsing, I have untreated hair without any coloring or perms, so I don't need to use treatment or hair essence. However, if you have damaged hair, I highly recommend applying a treatment or hair oil!

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 dry, atopic skin, I've been dealing with scalp issues for nearly a decade. My symptoms included an itchy, red scalp with constant dandruff. It was so embarrassing wearing dark clothes! I've tried various prescriptions from dermatologists, but they didn't help much (partly because I wasn't consistent, oops!). Recently, I decided to take my skin care more seriously. I started a new prescription in July and have been diligent about it. My scalp has improved significantly! This shampoo seems to help maintain that improvement. Compared to regular shampoos, it reduces itching and dandruff noticeably. While it can leave hair feeling a bit stiff right after use, it becomes soft and manageable after a while. Unlike other soap-based shampoos I've tried, this one doesn't leave my hair feeling dry and brittle. The ingredients are great, and it lathers up nicely! I also appreciate the mild scent. I heard that artificial fragrances can affect your metabolism, so I'm trying to be more careful with products that come into contact with my skin. Especially since I've gained 5 kilos since starting my new job!
ConsThe bar got really soft when I left it in the bathroom. I tried the trick of sticking a bottle cap in it to prevent softening, but it still melted because I couldn't keep it completely off the ground. When applying it to my hair, there's a slightly sticky feeling, as if my hair might tangle. I suppose that's unavoidable with a bar shampoo. The lather feels a bit light, so I worry it might not clean thoroughly enough if I only use the foam. I haven't noticed any improvements in my hair texture. It seems this product is specifically designed for scalp care, focusing on reducing itching and dandruff rather than enhancing hair quality.

If you care about sustainability, you'll be truly satisfied with this packaging approach. - Surprisingly rich lather I thought it would be difficult to create a good lather, but I was wrong! Even with my oily scalp, I found it produced more foam than regular liquid shampoos! - Perfect for oily scalps despite being for normal to dry hair Usually when I wash my hair in the morning, it gets greasy by evening, but with this product, that doesn't happen at all! This was the most surprising discovery for me.
Cons- Easily softening texture It's supposed to last for about 60 washes, but the surface seems to soften quite quickly. I'm worried it might not last as long as expected. - Hair feels stiff after shampooing Compared to liquid shampoos, it definitely leaves the hair feeling stiffer. I'm still using a liquid conditioner, which helps restore the hair to some extent.
TipBelow is my experience after using the shampoo bar about 3 times! It's shrunk more than you'd expect, hasn't it?

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.

It's great that it aligns with their zero waste philosophy, coming in a clean box packaging without any unnecessary wrapping. Tailored for various scalp types: It's wonderful that I can try a product that suits my dry scalp! It's also a plus that they have a wide range of options catering to different scalp types. Good ingredients and pleasant user experience: As soon as I opened it, a fragrant grapefruit scent spread out. When shampooing, it lathers up nicely, making the experience very comfortable! With its good ingredients and the refreshing feeling it leaves on my scalp, I think this is a great product for everyday use.
ConsStiff feeling after use: Compared to regular shampoos, it leaves a noticeable stiffness after rinsing, so using a conditioner is a must for those with long hair. Fading grapefruit scent: While there was a strong grapefruit scent when first opened, it gradually disappeared to the point where it's practically unscented now, which is disappointing.
TipUsing an adhesive soap holder can help the bar dry much faster and allows for a more hygienic and tidy usage!
