It seems like a good gift. #Dandruff improvement #Gentle #Winter shampoo If you're looking for a product like this, I think it's worth buying.
ConsPersonally, I prefer citrus fragrances, but this one has a bit of an... aroma that I think will be divisive. If the scent was a bit different, I'd likely use it more. As for longevity, those who say shampoo is about fragrance and lasting power shouldn't use this. I also consider that somewhat important, so that was a bit of a minus for me.

Regarding my hair condition and usage habits, I'm using the Avalon shampoo. As a person who hasn't been diligent with using the rinse treatment (due to back pain and lack of time), I plan to review this product similarly and write a review. Since it's been 8 months since I got a perm, my hair is quite damaged, so I've been applying the rinse for pre-wash cleansing before shampooing. I've noticed a difference in this from the first day. Thumbs up!~~~ After accidentally trying the Avalon shampoo and realizing that sulfates made my oily scalp even greasier and itchier, I've mostly avoided sulfate shampoos. So I'm very positive about the mild acidic Avalon shampoo and am familiar with using it. ***However!!!! Lately, I've been pondering 🤧 as my previously oily scalp is transitioning to combination and slightly dry due to weather changes (dandruff, cold) and age. Using sulfates doesn't suit me, and the Aromatica, which I thought would be more moisturizing than Avalon, turns out to be a bit sticky... So I've been sticking with Avalon, doing 1 shampoo per 3-4 days. Plus, with the perm issue, even after pre-wash cleansing with rinse and then using Avalon, I started feeling dryness, especially in the cold winter, so I need to explore other shampoo options. (In the summer, it's still manageable as a combination type) 🌈 First usage experience Compared to my previous products, it was noticeably gentler! To write a more balanced and transparent review, I skipped the pre-wash rinse cleansing and went straight to pre-wash, main wash, and rinse! At this point!!! The perm-induced tangles started easing up from the pre-wash. Ah, it's definitely more moisturizing than Avalon! Good, I felt. 🍯 There are often reviews saying these mild shampoos don't lather well and become wasteful. As a mild shampoo enthusiast, I really wanted to share some tips, so I'll include them below.🍯🌈 Second usage experience This time, I also did the pre-wash, main wash, and rinse in the same way. It definitely felt more moisturizing and gentle. After the first shampoo, unlike the previous one, I didn't experience dryness, itchiness, or excessive sebum, so I was able to go for 3 days comfortably! However, by the second day, my scalp started itching again... But compared to the previous shampoo, the hair felt less dry despite the effective cleansing. Additionally, the flaky, itchy dandruff-like buildup significantly decreased!!!!🥳
ConsThe name of the seaweed shampoo and the mismatched bubble gum scent,,,, When I opened the lid to check the package before using it, I was surprised by the bubble gum scent. It's the kind of sweet, colorful bubble gum scent you'd find at an amusement park or resort, the kind that comes out when you put in a coin and turn the machine. The first experience was all good, but this scent is the Achilles' heel. I wish it would be renewed with a refreshing lemon or ocean scent? Herb scent? Anything that would match the name of the seaweed shampoo! Then I could recommend it to others. For someone like me who cares more about the experience and effects, it may not matter, but for regular consumers, the scent is probably the most important first impression before purchasing.
TipGentle pH Shampoo: A Honey Tip That May or May Not Be True Most of you probably use sulfate-based shampoos that create a quick and abundant lather with just a small amount. However, gentle pH shampoos are different, like a facial cleansing foam. They prevent over-cleansing, maintain the skin's pH balance, and leave behind some sebum that can provide moisturizing benefits. Therefore, they should be used differently. I recommend using gentle pH shampoos differently from the typical inexpensive sulfate-based ones. This way, you can experience the best honey-like effects with a similar amount. This is just my personal tip, so please consider your own scalp condition and use it as a reference. 🍓 Key Tips 🍓 1. Pre-shampoo 2. (Before and during shampoo) Add a few water droplets 3. (Before shampoo) Emulsify in palms 1. Pre-shampoo is a tip I learned from exploring information in the beauty and dermatology fields, especially when I had an oily scalp. This tip shines even more with gentle pH shampoos! 2. Add a few water droplets I use 1 pump of pre-shampoo and 1 pump of main shampoo. The key is to thoroughly wet your hair and scalp before the pre-shampoo, such as during face washing or body wash. This ensures your scalp is well-hydrated, and your hair is saturated with water. Before applying the pre-shampoo, lightly squeeze out the excess water so it's not dripping. Then, apply 1/2 pump to the back of your head and center, until the lather starts to form. Quickly run your hands under running water and use them to apply the pre-shampoo from the back to the center again. Repeat the same process for the front half. For the main shampoo, the process is similar, but you may only need to quickly run your hands under water once, as the lather should form more easily. Based on my limited understanding, surfactants in coconut-based shampoos seem to create a better lather when the hair is slightly damp, compared to sulfate-based shampoos. This may be because the chemical bonds between water molecules are weaker, requiring a bit more water during shampooing.Gentle pH Shampoo: A Honey Tip That May or May Not Be True Most of you probably use sulfate-based shampoos that create a quick and abundant lather with just a small amount.
