Note that I frequently use heat styling tools, but no coloring or chemical treatments. - It's fragrance-free! It looks just like regular soap, but the lather feels so soft and pleasant. - It lathers up really well. - My hair feels fluffier than with regular shampoo! - Value for money: One shampoo bar lasts about 60 washes, compared to 30 for liquid shampoo, so it's cost-effective. - When I used regular shampoo, my scalp would get itchy and uncomfortable. But this shampoo bar is so gentle, there's no itching at all. This is its best feature! - I've always struggled with flat roots, but after using this, I've noticed more volume at the roots. - The slight greasiness I had before has disappeared.
ConsIf you rub the shampoo bar too hard on your scalp, it can feel a bit rough and painful. Please massage gently.
TipBefore use, make sure to wet your scalp thoroughly. This helps remove dead skin cells more effectively and leaves your scalp feeling clean. Since it has fewer chemicals than regular shampoo, it's great for those with super sensitive skin!

It lathered up more than I expected, which was great! This was my first time using a shampoo bar, and I feel it's even better for hair health. Being a vegan product, it definitely leaves my scalp feeling refreshed.
ConsAlthough it's labeled as grapefruit scented, it doesn't smell as strongly of grapefruit as I thought it would. It's not completely unscented, but I could barely detect any fragrance while using it. The scent is extremely subtle. After use, it's less noticeable, but during washing, it feels a bit stiff to work with. Those with short hair might find it easier, but for long hair, it was a bit challenging to wash. A conditioner is a must!
TipIf you use a foaming net, you'll be able to create an even richer lather!

Just a little rubbing creates plenty of foam, and it seems to cleanse effectively. ✔️After use: I used to have dandruff and a somewhat dry scalp, but when I used the shampoo bar, I didn't experience any dandruff, and my scalp didn't feel dry at all! I have oily skin, but it doesn't seem to produce as much excess oil. I didn't have much of an opinion on shampoo bars before, but after trying it, I think I could use it long-term without any issues.
ConsWhen I used regular shampoo, I didn't need to use conditioner every day. But with the shampoo bar, it feels a bit stiff, so I think I'll need to use conditioner every time. It's a bit disappointing that it doesn't leave my hair feeling soft and smooth.

It lathers up incredibly well with just a small amount, so it should last a long time. It's gentle yet has excellent cleansing effectiveness.
ConsAs everyone mentions, your hair feels a bit stiff after rinsing, so you'll probably want to use a conditioner or treatment afterwards. But since most people use these products after shampooing anyway, it's not really a drawback.
TipIt would be great to massage your scalp well with all that lather.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst off, I have dry scalp and hair, and my hair is shoulder-length. This is my first time using a shampoo bar. - I had a preconception that it wouldn't lather well, but I'm pleasantly surprised that it creates a rich lather with just a little rubbing (no need for a foam net) - Only need to rub it a bit, and after a week of use, it hasn't worn down much, so it seems like it'll last longer than expected - The value for money is truly excellent - Usually, with regular shampoo, it's a hassle to squeeze out the last bits and recycle the slippery bottle, but there's none of that inconvenience with this - My scalp itches noticeably less compared to other shampoos - The scent isn't overpowering
Cons- Although it's for combination to dry hair, it felt a bit too firm for me (I usually prefer a softer feel, but it's not a problem if I use conditioner afterwards) - I'm unsure about how to store it in the bathroom (I'm worried the amount might decrease even when not in use due to air exposure or humidity)

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.ProsIt's nearly fragrance-free and lathers up better than expected! I was worried my extremely oily scalp would get greasy quickly, but it doesn't. My scalp feels squeaky clean, which I love!
ConsI personally prefer products with a bit of fragrance, so the lack of scent was slightly disappointing. However, it's fine since the treatment has a scent. Being a shampoo bar, it does leave the hair feeling quite dry, so using a treatment afterwards is absolutely necessary!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThis shampoo bar has a substantial weight and solid texture. While not as foamy as liquid shampoo, it still lathers well and rinses out easily. It suited my normal hair type perfectly, though the cleansing sensation is different from slippery liquid shampoos. It leaves your hair feeling squeaky clean, like soap. As someone with wavy hair prone to tangling, I never imagined washing my hair with a bar, but surprisingly, it didn't cause any knots. In an effort to be more eco-friendly, I've been switching to plastic-free soap cleansers, so I'm excited to keep using this shampoo bar. However, I still feel the need to use conditioner afterwards.
ConsWhile the shampoo bar effectively removes oil and dirt, it can leave hair feeling a bit stiff when rinsing. I compensated for this by using conditioner. It would be even better if the shampoo bar could provide moisture and softness post-wash. (I initially thought a shampoo bar would have additional benefits compared to regular soap. Without these extras, it might not feel much different from ordinary soap.) The product is labeled as having a grapefruit scent, but the fragrance is very faint. While fragrances aren't necessarily eco-friendly, I wonder if using more natural scents might be possible. Also, the sage-green color of the bar doesn't really match the grapefruit scent. The fragrance could be improved to better align with the bar's appearance.
TipUsing a foam net creates more lather and helps conserve the shampoo bar.

The scent is a subtle grapefruit, but honestly, it's not that noticeable once you finish with conditioner or treatment. It doesn't overpower or interfere with other hair product fragrances. What's really amazing is that my forehead seems less oily! Maybe it's from massaging the shampoo bar into my scalp. As for lather, I was surprised by how much foam it produces. Even though I only apply it to my scalp, the rich lather is enough to cleanse my entire head of hair. It's incredibly eco-friendly too! As you know, there's no waste left after using a shampoo bar. That's truly appealing to me. I prefer bar soap over liquid soap for the same reason - no empty containers left behind. Even the packaging is environmentally friendly, which I love.
Cons1. At first, I unknowingly rubbed it directly on my hair, which left that section feeling quite stiff. 2. Finishing with just the shampoo bar can leave your hair feeling a bit rough. I'd recommend following up with conditioner or treatment for a smoother feel. 3. Since it's in bar form, try to minimize its contact with water. I use a draining soap dish as shown in the photo to keep it dry between uses. Repurchase intention: I noticed Donggubat also sells a treatment bar. I'm curious and might give it a try!

I was genuinely surprised by how well it lathered, even better than most liquid shampoos! The foam was abundant without needing a foam net, which was impressive. I had been struggling with an itchy scalp when using regular shampoos, but after using the Donggubat shampoo, my scalp irritation disappeared. It takes up less space in the shower, and it's eco-friendly too! As someone interested in zero waste, this product really appealed to me. I'm planning to buy the treatment bar as well!
ConsAs mentioned in the product details, there was a noticeable stiffness when rinsing out the shampoo. This made the washing process a bit uncomfortable, making me eager to use the treatment quickly. Even after using the treatment, the unwashed areas felt stiff, but not to the point where I'd want to stop using it. Also, it's supposed to have a grapefruit scent, but I didn't notice any particular fragrance.
TipUsing it with a foam net produces even more lather, which is great. If you don't have a foam net, try working up a bit of lather in your hands first, then apply it to your well-dampened hair using a rolling motion - you'll get an incredible amount of foam!

I loved the light and refreshing grapefruit fragrance that wasn't overwhelming at all. Although the product is meant for combination to dry hair, I have an oily scalp and sweat a lot, yet I could definitely feel its cleansing effectiveness. It was also easy to use as it lathers up well with just a little bit of rubbing on the head.
ConsI suppose because it's a soap-based product, there was a slightly stiff feeling right after rinsing. If you're looking for that silky-smooth sensation after rinsing, you might find it hard to be satisfied with this.
TipWhile it has good cleansing power, it's designed for combination to dry hair types, so those with oily scalps might not get that perfect oil-free feeling you'd get from shampoos specifically for oily hair. However, this actually makes it great for twice-daily use. In summer, I shower twice a day, and my previous products were so effective at cleansing that they stripped too much oil, making my scalp super sensitive. This product strikes a better balance.
