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 started using this shampoo as the fall season approached, and the dandruff shampoo I used in the summer felt too drying. So I decided to try this one for normal/combination hair. While it doesn't feel overly moisturizing (I personally feel a slight dryness), it works well enough. I'm glad that there won't be much waste when I finish the product! I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that I'm contributing, even in a small way, to helping the environment. The price is also quite reasonable considering it lasts about as long as a 300ml shampoo. I'm pleased to have found a shampoo that makes me feel good about using it.
ConsDoes using this product make my hair feel stiff? My roots have no volume 😵💫 My hair feels limp and lifeless 😞 Since my hair is already fine, it's hard to get volume at the roots. On days when I have appointments or need to style my hair, I absolutely cannot use this - my hair just won't hold a style. I go back and forth on whether I like it or not, but in the end, the issues with my hair make me unlikely to repurchase this.
TipIt would be great if they included a lather brush. I bought one separately from the home goods store for about $2, and it makes using the shampoo much more convenient.

I'm on my third purchase and still using it.
ConsThe downside is that my hair feels a bit stiff. Using it alternately with another shampoo helps a bit. As a bar soap, it's a little less convenient than liquid shampoos.

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.

I've had atopic dermatitis on my body since I was born, and from around middle school, I've also had something like seborrheic dermatitis or a similar condition on my scalp, and I've been suffering from it for about 10 years now. The symptoms are itchy and reddened scalp, and constant dandruff falling off... When I wear black clothes, I'm so conscious of it all day, brushing off the dandruff in front of the mirror and so on. Even though I've been continuously going to the dermatologist and getting prescribed medications, there was no improvement because I wasn't diligently applying or taking the medications. Haha... But then I thought I couldn't go on like this, so in early July this year, I got a new prescription from the dermatologist and was more diligent about using it, and now my scalp has improved a lot!! And this shampoo seems to be helping maintain the improvement. Compared to using regular store-bought shampoos, I have less itchiness and dandruff. Immediately after using it, my hair does feel a bit stiff, but after some time, my hair becomes soft and smooth again. The other medicated shampoos I used before would leave my hair feeling stiff even after a while, like I just washed it with public bathroom soap. But this one is definitely less stiff. The ingredients are good, and it lathers up nicely. I also like that the fragrance is not too strong. I saw on YouTube or Instagram that artificial fragrances can actually change your body type to be more prone to weight gain... But I can't give up perfume entirely, so I'm trying to be more careful about what touches my body. Anyway, I've gained about 5kg since starting my new job recently... (´；ω；｀)
ConsThe product became really soft because I put it in the bathroom. I tried putting a PET bottle cap on it to prevent it from getting too soft, but since I couldn't store it properly and it ended up falling to the ground, it's now completely mushy. As for the feeling when I rub it on my hair, it feels a bit stiff and tangled. Since it's in a bar form, that seems unavoidable. But the lather is a bit light, so I feel like it doesn't clean my hair properly. Also, I don't think there are any benefits for hair quality. It seems to be a product specifically made for scalp issues like itchiness and dandruff.

Personally, even though I have an oily scalp, I felt the lather was better than regular liquid shampoos. - Suitable for Combination Skin, Even for Oily Scalp When I wash my hair in the morning, I usually see my hair getting greasy by the evening, but I didn't notice that at all with this product! It was a whole new experience for me.
Cons- Easily Softening Formula They say it lasts for about 60 uses, but the outer layer seems to soften up quite easily. I'm worried it might get used up faster than expected. - Hair Feels Stiff After Shampooing Compared to liquid shampoos, there is definitely a stiffer feeling to the hair. But using the conditioner helps restore it to some extent.
TipHere's my experience after using the shampoo bar about 3 times! It's gone down quite a bit, hasn't it?!

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.

The scent is almost odorless, with a hint of tea leaf-like fragrance, so I don't think there will be much controversy over it! I have combination oily skin, and it cleans well without leaving my scalp too dry, which I liked.
ConsAs it's a shampoo bar, some stiffness in the hair is unavoidable. Using a conditioner after seems necessary.
TipStore the shampoo bar on a soap dish to use it. Since it's a lather-based cleansing, using a mesh is also a good idea.

It was good that it was packaged in a clean box without other packaging, in line with the zero-waste concept. 💫Customized for various scalp types: It was also good that I could try a product that suits my dry scalp! Since the products are well-made for various scalp types, there are many options to choose from, which is an advantage. 💫Kind ingredients and good user experience: As soon as I opened it, the fragrant grapefruit scent spread, and the lather was rich when shampooing, so there was no inconvenience when using it! The ingredients are kind, and my scalp feels refreshed, so I think it's a good product to use without any problems.
ConsStiff user experience: Compared to regular shampoos, the stiffness is too noticeable when rinsing, so using a conditioner is essential for long hair. The grapefruit scent fades over time: The grapefruit scent was strong when I first opened it, but it gradually disappeared, and it seems to be unscented, which is disappointing.
TipUsing a detachable soap holder will allow it to dry much faster and be used in a more hygienic and clean way!
