Compared to liquid shampoos, it has simpler ingredients and fewer chemicals, making it less irritating to the scalp. Designed for normal to dry hair, it cleanses thoroughly while leaving hair soft and manageable - I'm very satisfied! It lathers better than expected and leaves the scalp feeling refreshed without any heaviness. However, being a solid bar, it can soften easily if left wet during storage. Overall Assessment: Pros: ✅ Gentle ingredients that are less burdensome on the scalp ✅ Cleanses effectively but leaves hair soft, not stiff ✅ Solid form reduces plastic waste, making it eco-friendly ✅ Small but long-lasting, offering good value for money Cons: ⚠️ Being solid, it needs to be stored in a well-drained area for longevity ⚠️ Hair might feel slightly stiff if used without conditioner ⚠️ May not feel as refreshing for very oily scalps
ConsAs a solid shampoo, storage can be tricky, and it can easily soften if left wet. While it cleanses well, those with long or damaged hair may need to use a conditioner for smooth, manageable locks. It produces less lather than liquid shampoos, which might feel strange at first.
TipStore the bar on a well-draining soap dish or in a foam net to extend its life. For a smoother wash, work up a rich lather in your hands before applying to your hair. If you have dry hair, finish with hair oil or conditioner for softer, healthier-looking locks.

ConsUpon reflection, it makes my skin feel tight and causes blemishes on my forehead. It's quite drying

Environmentally conscious choice. 2. Powerful cleansing effectiveness. Even when using castor oil as a hair mask, it rinses out completely in one wash. 3. Leaves the bathroom spotless.
ConsI bought 5 bars for combination to dry hair from Coupang and I'm on my third one now. During this time, I've noticed significant hair thinning. Compared to T28 shampoo bars or other natural soaps, I lose more hair during and after washing with this one. I plan to give the remaining two bars to someone who isn't concerned about hair loss. If you have very dry skin, I recommend trying one bar before buying in bulk. While it has many benefits, this one drawback is disappointing.

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.ProsIt lathers well and doesn't soften easily like Lush shampoo bars, which is great. Unlike some shampoo bars that can make your hair tangle or stick together if used incorrectly, this one was easy to manage and cleansed effectively.
ConsI couldn't use it for a few days while I was away, and it cracked slightly. I'll need to be careful to prevent it from crumbling when the weather is dry or during long-term storage.
TipNaturally, it may not lather as much as regular shampoo and can leave your hair feeling squeaky clean. It's good to use a conditioner as well. For best results, thoroughly wet your hair before shampooing, then gently massage it into your scalp.

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.ProsUsage experience: I was worried the soap bar might feel stiff since it was my first time using it, but it wasn't as rigid as I feared. It cleanses thoroughly with a squeaky-clean feeling, and the lather rolls smoothly through the hair. However, you'll need to use a conditioner afterwards for softer hair. Scent: It has a light, inoffensive herbal fragrance. It's a subtle scent that likely won't polarize opinions. Cleansing effectiveness: Although it's for normal to dry hair, it provided sufficient cleansing power for my oily scalp. I'm not extremely oily, but my bangs and crown tend to get greasy by evening. With Donggubat's normal-to-dry shampoo bar, I noticed less oil production and a fresher scalp. Perceived benefits: Most importantly, I had some blemishes due to hot weather, but after using this product, they started to gradually disappear! I felt it effectively cleansed away excess oil and impurities produced during the hot summer. Donggubat is a social enterprise aiming to employ over 50% of its workforce from individuals with developmental disabilities. Recently, they fully compensated customers and partner companies affected by Tmon's no-exchange, no-refund policy (source: Donggubat website). Since the product quality seems good, those interested might want to give it a try.
ConsIt might be helpful to include information about other shampoo bar lines on the packaging. From a consumer's perspective, an easier way to access information about the product range seems necessary.
TipSurprisingly, it lathers well even when rubbed directly on the hair. Leaving it on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing results in an even more thorough, squeaky-clean wash.

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.

I was pleased that the low pH shampoo bar gently removed dead skin cells from my scalp without any irritation! Lather It produces a really rich, abundant lather! You create the foam by rubbing the bar on your head. If you have short hair, you'll probably get a good lather with just a little rubbing!
ConsIt's supposed to have a grapefruit scent, but I couldn't smell it at all! Instead, I personally found the scent a bit odd and strange! After shampooing, my hair didn't have that smell, but the bar itself seemed to have a peculiar odor! I've also tried Tone 28, and personally, I found its fragrance a bit more satisfying. Other than that, I felt they were pretty much the same!
TipIf you dry the bar well after use, you'll be able to use it in good condition for a long time!

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.ProsThe packaging is simple yet eco-friendly, and I appreciate the thoughtful addition of braille. I've been using other shampoo bars that left my hair feeling stiff, and even with a mesh, the lather didn't really reach my hair. This one, however, creates a rich lather even without a mesh, providing a deep cleanse! Its round shape is cute and surprisingly larger, making it easier to hold. While it might not be for everyone, I enjoyed the citrus scent. I'm tempted to try their conditioner and treatment bars too.
ConsThere is a characteristic stiffness to the hair before using a treatment, which is typical of shampoo bars.
TipMake sure to thoroughly wet your hair before use! This helps create a good lather. Massaging your scalp with the foam is highly recommended for best results.

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 trying a shampoo bar for the first time, I had some preconceptions before using it. You know, those common myths we've all heard - like it makes your hair stiff, it's not pleasant to use, or it doesn't remove oil buildup well. But this product completely shattered those misconceptions! There's no stiff feeling at all, and it lathers up just like regular shampoo!!! The cleansing effectiveness is excellent too!!! Knowing it's equivalent to two bottles of liquid shampoo makes me feel like it's more economical. Plus, unlike regular shampoos with microplastics and environmental concerns, I can use this with a clear conscience, which is fantastic!! I'm so impressed with my first experience that I'm already looking into their other products. I highly recommend it!
ConsIf I really had to nitpick, I'd say it's about storage. Using a container with a lid makes for a more hygienic experience!
TipWhile using a foam net creates more lather, you'll still get plenty of suds without one.
