As it's for normal to dry hair, the cleansing power is thorough yet leaves the hair feeling soft and not stiff after use✨ The lather is better than expected, and the scalp feels refreshed and clean without any heaviness! However, as it's a solid type, if there's moisture left when storing, it can easily become soft⚠️ 🌟 Overall Evaluation Pros: ✅ Gentle, non-irritating ingredients that are easy on the scalp💆♀️ ✅ Effective cleansing but leaves hair soft and smooth after use, not stiff🛁 ✅ Solid type helps reduce plastic waste, making it environmentally friendly🌎 ✅ Small size but lasts quite a while, so it's a good value for money💰 Cons: ⚠️ As it's solid, it needs to be stored in a well-draining area to last longer ⚠️ Using it alone without a conditioner may leave hair slightly stiff ⚠️ May not provide enough refreshment for very oily scalps
ConsSolid shampoos can be tricky to store after use, and they can easily become soft if moisture remains. They have good cleansing power, but for long hair or damaged hair, a conditioner is necessary to leave the hair feeling soft and smooth. Compared to liquid shampoos, they produce less lather, so they may feel unusual when first used.
Tip💙 When storing, placing it on a soap dish or using a sponge net can help it last longer🧼 💙 Lathering well in your hands before applying to your hair can make it lather more smoothly🫧 💙 For dry hair, finishing with a hair oil or conditioner after washing can help maintain softer and healthier hair✨

The cleansing power appears to be good. And it dries up.
ConsLet's think about it. I'm feeling stiff and have pimples on my forehead. My skin is dry.

It can be considerate of the environment. 2. Strong cleansing power. The castor oil (castor seed oil) is evenly applied to the scalp and used as a pack, and it rinses off in one go. 👍🏻 3. A clean bathroom.
ConsI purchased 5 units of the dry skin type from Coupang, and I'm currently using the 3rd one. During this time, I've noticed a significant loss of hair. Compared to T28 shampoo bars or other natural soaps, my hair falls out more during and after shampooing with this product. I plan to pass on the remaining 2 bars to someone who doesn't have concerns about hair loss. If your skin is very dry, I recommend trying one before making a large purchase. This product has many benefits, but this one drawback is disappointing.

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.

Shampoo bars can often make the hair tangle or stick together if not used properly, but that didn't happen, so it was easy to manage and cleansed well.
ConsI couldn't use it for a few days and it got a bit dried out. You need to be careful not to let it crumble if the weather is dry or if you store it for a long time.
TipIt definitely produces less lather than regular shampoo and can feel quite squeaky clean! It's good to use a conditioner as well, and it's best to thoroughly wet the hair before gently massaging it into the scalp.

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.

The mild acid shampoo bar gently cleansed my scalp of any flakes without any discomfort. The lather was really rich and abundant! When massaging the soap into my hair, it quickly produced a thick, creamy lather, which would be great for those with short hair.
ConsThey said it was grapefruit-scented, but I couldn't detect any grapefruit at all! Instead, I personally thought it had a bit of a strange, off-putting scent. However, after shampooing, there wasn't any lingering odd smell in my hair. I also tried the Tone 28, and I personally found the fragrance a bit more satisfactory than the other one. Other than that, I felt they were pretty much the same.
TipMake sure to thoroughly dry the soap bar, and it will last you a long time in great condition!

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 package is simple, but it feels like they've put thought into making it eco-friendly and even including Braille, which is nice. I've been using a different shampoo bar before, and it felt a bit stiff. Even when I lathered it up, the foam didn't seem to distribute well in my hair. This one, on the other hand, lathers up really nicely without even needing a lather net - the foam is thick and creamy, giving me a deep cleansing. The round shape is easy to grip, and it's bigger than I expected, which makes it even more convenient to use. The citrus scent is not for everyone, but I personally enjoyed it. I'd love to try their conditioner bar as well!
ConsThere is still a bit of that typical shampoo bar stiffness before using the conditioner.
TipMake sure to thoroughly wet your hair before using it - that will help the lather really come alive and allow you to massage it into your scalp for best results. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsTo be honest, as a first-time user of a shampoo bar, I had a few preconceptions about it. For example, I had heard that the hair can become stiff, the experience may not be great, and the oil residue may not be removed well - these are the kinds of stories that many have heard before! But it completely shattered all those preconceptions. There is hardly any stiffness, and the lather is just like a regular shampoo!!! The cleansing power is also excellent!!! And since it's said to be equivalent to 2 bottles of shampoo, it feels more economical. Moreover, regular shampoos have microplastics, which pose environmental issues, but I can use this without any such worries and feel good about it!! The initial impression was so good that I'm looking into other products as well. I highly recommend it.
ConsIf I had to pick one thing, it would be the storage method - it's more comfortable to use when the cap is on.
TipUsing a lather net can help produce even more lather, but it works well even without one.
