When you wet your hair thoroughly and lather up the bar, it produces a surprisingly rich foam. It controls oil well, so those with oily scalps should be satisfied. After shampooing and drying your hair, you feel incredibly refreshed! The satisfaction with this shampoo bar is so high, I'll likely keep using it.
ConsThe soap doesn't come with individual plastic wrapping, it's just the bar in the box, which was a bit surprising. After washing, hair feels quite stiff. It seems to dissolve quickly in water and gets mushy easily. The scent is milder than expected, and doesn't really linger. Being in bar form makes it somewhat difficult to maintain.
TipA foaming net is essential... Conditioner is a must...

I was worried my hair might feel stiff, but it's exactly like using liquid shampoo. It balances oil and moisture well, so my hair seems less greasy than usual. Just a few rubs create a rich lather. The foam is creamy and soft, making shampooing a pleasure!
ConsThe scent is a bit mild. This might vary depending on personal preference, but I like when some fragrance lingers after washing, so I found this aspect slightly disappointing.
TipI recommend getting a soap saver bag and keeping the bar in it! You can definitely use it without one, but it seems to help the bar last longer and prevents waste.

It lathers up better than expected, and when rinsing, you can feel your hair and scalp becoming squeaky clean as all the oil is washed away. While the scent is milder than regular shampoo, there's a pleasant, subtle fragrance that lingers after showering. (Though it fades quickly, unfortunately!) 2. It seems to reduce scalp odor more effectively than regular shampoo? I've been using this alone without conditioner (because I'm lazy), and I haven't noticed my hair becoming damaged or stiff. That said, its cleansing effectiveness isn't compromised either. This product might be better than we think. # Post-use Scalp Condition: There was no irritation, and it noticeably reduced oiliness compared to regular shampoo. Also, scalp odor was less noticeable than when using regular shampoo.
Cons# Drawbacks / Cautions: 1. The main drawback and something to be cautious about is that being a soap bar, there's some unavoidable waste. Even with careful storage in the bathroom, especially in summer, it gets a bit soft and seems to wear down faster than you'd expect. 2. While it reduces scalp odor compared to using shampoo alone, it doesn't leave a fragrant scent either. The scent probably lasts about 5 minutes, if that... 3. When rubbing it on long, damaged hair, I'm slightly worried about potential friction damage. But that's probably just in my head. It likely varies from person to person. 4. It's expensive!!!
Tip# Pro Tip: After 10 days of use, I still haven't figured out any special tricks for using this product.

After trying various liquid shampoos, I've settled on shampoo and treatment bars. So please keep in mind that I'm used to solid shampoos! ✓ It lathers well. It produces more foam than I expected! I'd say it lathers even better than other shampoo bars. Just a few swipes on wet hair create as rich a lather as liquid shampoo. ✓ It doesn't soften easily. I used it on a stainless steel soap dish, and as long as I stored it where water could drain, it didn't soften quickly! Also, if you rinse the bar with cold water after use, it hardens up again. ✓ It doesn't make my scalp itchy. My scalp tends to get very itchy when I use new hair products. So I always carefully check the ingredients and am cautious when using something new. I was worried when I first tried the Donggubat shampoo bar for normal to dry hair, but my scalp didn't itch at all! Instead, it felt refreshingly clean.
Cons✓ Hair feels stiff after shampooing. I think this is common with other shampoos too. I actually believe it's because of the good ingredients. If you finish with a treatment bar, your hair becomes soft again. ✓ The scent is barely noticeable. If you're someone who values fragrance in shampoo, you might be disappointed.
TipI recommend shampoo bars for those with seborrheic scalps like mine! I've tried all the famous liquid shampoos, but my scalp kept itching and developing blemishes. It improved a lot after using shampoo bars. My first shampoo bar was actually the Donggubat shampoo bar for oily hair. For long hair, it lasts about a month, so I think the price is reasonable too.

However, this is only noticeable when lathering, not from the bar itself. ✓ Cleansing effectiveness: As you can see in the photo, it effectively removes oil from hair without leaving it feeling stiff after washing. ✓ Lather and feel: It lathers easily, making hair washing super convenient. The size fits perfectly in one hand, providing a good grip. ✓ For oily scalps: My scalp tends to get oily quickly, but with this shampoo, it takes a day and a half before my hair feels greasy again. Seems like a great product for those with oily hair!
Cons• It's so similar to regular soap that I've accidentally used it as such. Personally, I think a soap-wrapped lather net would make it more distinct from regular soap. • While the grapefruit scent is nice, it might not be strong enough for those who prefer intense, perfume-like fragrances. The scent fades quickly.
TipMake sure to wet your hair thoroughly before use!

First off, I was impressed with how well it lathered. As someone with long, thick hair who usually needs multiple pumps of liquid shampoo, I was pleasantly surprised by the rich foam this bar produced, even though I admittedly used quite a bit. Secondly, since becoming pregnant, I've developed a sensitivity to artificial fragrances and have been using unscented products. This shampoo bar had a very mild grapefruit scent that wasn't overpowering, which worked well for me. Lastly, while my hair felt a bit stiff during rinsing, it wasn't noticeably coarse after drying, even without using conditioner, just as the product description promised. As someone with a sensitive scalp, I was relieved to find that this shampoo didn't cause any itching and had excellent cleansing effectiveness.
ConsBeing a soap-based product, it was challenging to maintain in the current hot and humid weather. After a day or two, the bar started to soften. This isn't necessarily a flaw in the product, but rather an inherent characteristic of soap and a storage issue. While I appreciated the lack of fragrance, those who enjoy the lingering scent of shampoo might be disappointed that there's no noticeable aroma left on the hair after washing.
TipWhen storing the shampoo bar, I found a great tip to prevent it from softening too quickly. Instead of using a soap case or leaving it out, I placed the bar on a plastic bottle cap. This takes up less space than a case, keeps the bar from getting too soft, and helps it last longer. It's a practical solution that eliminates the need for buying a separate case and extends the life of the product.

When I opened the delivery, I found the shampoo bar directly inside the paper wrapper. It's the first time I've seen such light packaging, but considering how the shampoo bar itself reduces plastic use, the minimal packaging without unnecessary plastic wrapping suits the product perfectly. - It lathers well. I was worried the product might be too hard to create a good lather, but it actually foams up better than expected. It worked well even for my long hair. - No scalp blemishes. I have sensitive skin, so choosing shampoos is always a concern. However, after a week of use, not only did it not cause any scalp issues, but it also didn't trigger any blemishes on my back or chest. - The fragrance. Personally, I love citrus scents. While the scent is a bit subtle, which is slightly disappointing, I'm willing to compromise on fragrance for a healthier scalp.
Cons- It would be nice if a lather net was included in the package. - The fragrance fades away quickly, which is a bit disappointing. - When using the shampoo bar alone, hair can feel a bit stiff, so it's necessary to use conditioner or treatment alongside it.
TipFor those with long hair, using the shampoo bar alone might leave your hair feeling stiff, so please use it in combination with conditioner or treatment.

It lathers well and has a pleasant cooling sensation without being harsh. The scent while washing is lovely, and it rinses out cleanly. Plus, I really appreciate that there's no waste and I don't have to deal with banging on a plastic bottle to get the last bits out.
ConsThe fragrance doesn't linger for very long. While I didn't find it difficult or stiff to use when washing, it was a bit challenging to dry my hair afterwards. I often used it with a leave-in treatment, but even without it, my hair didn't feel stiff once it was completely dry!
TipI tried using a foam net, but depending on the environment, it seemed to soften the bar too quickly. Using the plastic lid to store it helped it dry faster and was more convenient. When the bar got too small to use easily, I collected the pieces in a foam net, which allowed me to use every last bit without waste!

But it lathered nicely and left my hair feeling fresh! It actually felt like it was giving my hair a thorough cleanse. You might think it would make your hair feel stiff, but after drying, there was no such feeling at all. My scalp didn't itch after use. It seems gentle enough for sensitive scalps too. • Scent It's supposed to be grapefruit scented, but the fragrance is so subtle that you might not notice it unless you're really paying attention. I don't like artificial scents, so compared to those, I found this quite pleasant. • Texture It's a solid shampoo bar and supposedly vulnerable to moisture. I've been storing it upright instead of laying it flat after use, and so far it's holding up well without getting mushy.
ConsWhile the scent wasn't artificial and was pleasantly subtle, for me, the downside was that it didn't last long. I like when a gentle fragrance lingers in my hair after shampooing, but after washing, it was as if there was no scent at all, which was disappointing.
Tip1. If you dislike your shampoo bar getting mushy, I recommend using it with a foam net. + I'm storing mine upright without a foam net, and so far it's not getting mushy and works well this way! 2. ★ I love a refreshing hair wash, so I use it with a scalp brush. Using it with a scalp brush gives a nice scalp massage and helps clean more thoroughly, which I found great!

When I rub the bar between my hands under running water and then massage it into my wet hair, it creates an incredible lather. The rich, creamy foam makes it easy to cleanse every inch of my scalp thoroughly. Using the bar directly on my head ensures I don't miss any spots. After massaging my scalp and letting it sit for a bit, I rinse it out. For a bar shampoo, it doesn't leave my hair feeling overly stiff. My scalp feels squeaky clean, but my hair doesn't feel dried out, so I didn't need to use conditioner. It's gentle enough for daily use, making it a great alternative to liquid shampoos.
ConsThere weren't many downsides, but the scent was more reminiscent of laundry soap than grapefruit, which was a bit disappointing. As someone who washes their hair before bed, I found the fragrance mostly dissipated by morning, which was slightly disappointing. However, I didn't experience any issues with my hair becoming matted or tangled.
TipIf you don't have a foam net, I recommend using a soap dish along with your shampoo bar. After use, rinse off the excess lather and let it dry thoroughly. This prevents the bar from becoming soggy and ensures it'll produce a rich lather for your next wash!
