Lather: When you rub the shampoo bar on your hair using a mesh bag, it produces a lot of foam. Some shampoo bars don't lather as much as you'd expect, but this one creates plenty of suds, giving you that extra clean feeling. After rinsing, you can definitely tell that your hair doesn't get oily as quickly as with liquid shampoo, and it feels like you've cleansed thoroughly with quality ingredients. Scent: The fragrance is so subtle that it's hardly memorable. It's supposed to be grapefruit, but it's so faint and delicate that I don't think it would be a deal-breaker for anyone based on scent alone. Immediate results: I've tried many shampoo bars, and this one leaves my hair feeling particularly bouncy right after use. There's a noticeable difference even when using the same conditioner and routine. My hair might look a bit more textured, but if that's due to the natural ingredients, I'm not too concerned.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that my hair feels dry and lacks nourishment. When I used other shampoo bars, my hair actually felt thicker and stronger, so this is even more of a letdown. I think I'll need to use it for a longer period to see if there are any improvements.
TipAfter cleansing with the shampoo bar, I recommend following up with a conditioner to smooth things out!

What I personally loved was the direct scrubbing action that left my scalp feeling squeaky clean. It was an incredibly satisfying sensation.
ConsThe downside, and the reason I think I'll need to use Donggubat's conditioner bar along with it, is that my hair becomes quite dry and rough. It's a bit uncomfortable, to be honest.

Thanks to Hwahae, I got to use it and I highly recommend it! I plan to switch to shampoo bars after using up my current shampoos. Not only is it eco-friendly by avoiding plastic, but it's also made with gentle ingredients. My scalp, which had become sensitive and prone to blemishes due to the heat, saw a reduction in issues. The pH seemed to balance out, and oiliness decreased. Despite the gentle ingredients, just a light rub of the shampoo bar on the scalp produces a rich, creamy lather that cleanses thoroughly. The scent is natural, not artificial, subtly present during shampooing with almost no lingering fragrance.
ConsHair can feel a bit dry without using a conditioner or treatment bar (slightly frizzy). The soap can crack or break slightly depending on its texture (recommended to keep it in a soap dish). This is apparently due to the absence of artificial hardeners. While it's better for the skin, it's best to keep the bar in a soap dish.
TipWhile it's great for scalp health, it can be a bit drying for the hair, so I'd recommend using a treatment bar along with it.

First off, using it with a foaming net creates a luxurious lather, which I loved. The scent isn't overpowering, and after drying your hair, you're left with just a clean, fresh smell. The cleansing effectiveness was pretty good, comparable to my usual shampoos. When it comes to how it feels, like most shampoo bars, it can leave your hair feeling a bit stiff.
ConsAfter using this exclusively, I noticed my hair felt a bit dry and lackluster.
TipWhen using shampoo bars, a leave-in treatment is absolutely essential.

It gave a squeaky clean feeling, which was great for my combination-dry skin. I didn't experience much greasiness for up to 3 days. Surprisingly, it lathered well even when used whole, but using a soap net made it much easier! This seems like a good shampoo bar for beginners.
ConsI have slightly damaged hair that tends to be dry and frizzy even after using regular shampoo, unless I follow up with a treatment. Even though I used a conditioner as usual, my hair still felt a bit dry, so I had to apply a hair essence after drying to manage it.
TipUsing a soap net makes it much more convenient to use! If you're concerned about environmental impact, you can stick a plastic bottle cap in it for easy drying.

The lather is better than expected. As someone sensitive to scents, I love how subtle the fragrance is. Surprisingly, it seems to reduce scalp odor - I'm not kidding! I always wash my hair standing up, and usually get oily buildup on my back, but that hasn't happened since I started using this shampoo.
ConsUnlike other slippery shampoos, this one doesn't glide on as smoothly. When massaging the scalp, it has a dry, soap-like feel. Honestly, I actually prefer this.
TipTo apply, wet your hands, work up a lather, then massage it into your scalp and hair. Repeat this process two or three times for thorough coverage.

The convenience is great - no waste after use, which feels good for the environment. I was skeptical about the lather since it's a solid bar, not a gel, but I was genuinely surprised! It lathers up wonderfully even without a foam net, just using my hands. It's unscented, which I love! Though if you smell closely, there's a subtle soap scent, similar to what I remember from the Dokdo foam cleanser (just think of it as that typical 'unscented' scent).
ConsBeing a soap-based product, it did leave my hair feeling a bit dry. I think I'll need to use a treatment bar along with it.
TipAttaching a plastic bottle cap makes it easier to dry the bar.

First off, the product arrived with incredibly meticulous packaging. The bar feels firm yet pliable. When you massage it against your scalp, it lathers up nicely, just like you're using regular shampoo. It's not too hard, so it feels good to rub it in. After use, I noticed the excess oil was gone. Surprisingly, even when I went a few days without washing, my hair still felt fine. It has a pleasant, herbal scent that's quite nice. I appreciated that the smell wasn't overpowering. It seems like an eco-friendly option, which is great.
ConsThe downside is that it can leave your hair feeling a bit dry and lackluster. If you haven't washed for a few days, I'd recommend using it multiple times for a more voluminous effect.
TipWet your hair, then massage the scalp bar against your scalp. It will create a good lather.

The herbal and aromatic notes really lift your mood. The olive color is so pretty, it makes your bathroom look and smell wonderful. When you use it, it lathers up nicely, showing good cleansing effectiveness without any discomfort - it just feels like it's washing away everything cleanly. After using it twice, you feel thoroughly cleansed. The ingredients are great, so I used it without any worries. The soap is quite firm, so it should last for quite a while. After use, my hair didn't feel stiff, so I didn't even need to use a conditioner. While it's not extremely soft, it's not problematic either, so I'm satisfied. My scalp feels cleaner, and I've noticed a significant improvement in dead skin cells on my scalp. It seems like I'm experiencing less hair fall too, so it feels like a well-made soap. With its good ingredients and great effects, I'll likely repurchase it. While it's not 100% perfect, I found the overall experience quite satisfying.
ConsI used it twice during each hair wash, and while it cleanses well, it does leave my hair a bit frizzy. You might need to use a conditioner. A day after using the soap, I start to feel a bit of itchiness creeping back. It's disappointing that it doesn't seem to address the root cause of scalp issues. I'm hoping that with consistent use, I'll see more improvement.
TipProper care of the soap is important. It's sensitive to moisture, so make sure to buy a soap dish that allows it to dry well.

It seems to effectively remove scalp buildup, reducing itchiness and leaving a refreshing feeling after washing. - Lathers better than expected As a shampoo bar, it doesn't foam as luxuriously as liquid shampoos, but it still produces enough lather to wash your hair comfortably. - Zero waste! The only waste from this product is the box packaging. The bar itself disappears as you use it, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
Cons- Leaves hair feeling slightly stiff Perhaps due to its bar form, it can leave hair feeling a bit stiff after use. While it cleanses effectively, it may leave your hair feeling somewhat dry. However, using a conditioner or treatment alongside it should solve this issue! - No lingering fragrance after use This is great for those sensitive to scents, but if you prefer a shampoo that leaves a lasting fragrance, you might find this aspect a bit disappointing.
TipFor those who want to create lather more easily, using a foaming net with this shampoo bar works wonders!
