First off, Cheongmijung? It's a brand I trust and buy from confidently. Seaweed shampoo? It's so famous, I've been wanting to try it. As for the scent, being a seaweed shampoo, I expected some kind of seafood or ocean smell. But surprisingly, it has more of a citrusy fragrance. (It's similar to the acetone scent from WaveOO products. But don't get me wrong, it absolutely doesn't smell like alcohol!! It's just a citrusy scent with a very slight hint of sweetness!) Considering the product's ingredients and the brand image, I'd highly recommend it, but personally, my experience with it so far is just okay.. I'll use it for a bit longer and then update my review.
ConsIn terms of lather, it doesn't produce a rich, dense foam. The bubbles are light and airy like hand soap, quickly disappearing with a 'whoosh'. This makes it feel like it's not spreading evenly, and the cleansing effectiveness seems weak, so I end up using more product, which means it runs out quickly. I have dry hair with bleached ends. When I used only this shampoo and compared it to using other shampoos alone, my hair felt stiff and dry after drying.

It's great as a daily shampoo! I also appreciated that my hair felt soft and manageable after washing, not stiff at all. The volume was satisfactory too. However, for reasons I'll mention below, I might hesitate to recommend it for those with very oily scalps.
ConsAs you can see in the photo, the formula is a bit thin, and it doesn't lather as richly as some might expect. Also, while your hair feels soft after use, on days when my scalp was particularly oily, I couldn't tell if the softness was due to the shampoo or just residual oils.

Gentle cleansing power Sufficient for daily use, cleanses gently without irritating the scalp! However, when washing every 2-3 days on holidays, it doesn't feel like a deep scrub. 2. Subtle fragrance A delicate fruity scent, not seaweed or ocean-like. The fragrance doesn't linger for long though! 3. Hair hydration Unlike other natural shampoos, it leaves hair feeling moisturized, not stiff after use. 4. Scalp soothing effect Noticeably reduced scalp itchiness and overall less irritation.
ConsDoesn't lather well Perhaps due to its gentle ingredients, it lacks rich foam and requires multiple pumps. Watery consistency For me, the shampoo's thin texture makes it runny and inconvenient to use. These two drawbacks combined make it frustrating to need multiple pumps each time.
TipRecommended for: - Dry scalp & those seeking a gentle shampoo Suitable for dry or sensitive scalps due to its non-irritating formula! - Daily hair washers Its mild cleansing power is perfect for everyday use! - Those looking to alleviate scalp itchiness Satisfyingly soothes the scalp without causing irritation. Not recommended for: - Oily scalp & those wanting a deep cleanse Might be disappointing due to its mild cleansing power and lack of rich lather.

I've been using it for about 10 days now. Recently, I've been struggling with an itchy scalp and hair loss, but since using this shampoo, my scalp itchiness has significantly decreased! The scent is slightly apple-like, so I don't think it'll be too polarizing. While it doesn't create an abundance of lather, it gives a clean and refreshing cleansing feeling! I loved that there was no residue left after rinsing, and most importantly, as someone who only uses shampoo, I was really impressed that my hair didn't feel stiff after washing.
ConsI just wish it produced a bit more lather - that would make it even better!

I was pleased to see that when I checked the ingredients on the Hwahae app, there were no concerning components. It seems like a safe choice for those with sensitive scalps! ➕ No irritation I've had experiences where incompatible shampoos would make my scalp easily turn red, oily, and itchy. However, this one is made with safe ingredients, allowing for irritation-free use! ➕ Soft hair texture Despite being a natural shampoo, it didn't make my hair too stiff. Instead, it kept my hair soft and manageable, which I really appreciated. ❤ Other points - Fragrance Since it's a seaweed shampoo, I was worried the scent might be too unique or strange. However, I was pleasantly surprised by its sweet, general shampoo fragrance that isn't likely to be polarizing. - Texture The texture is quite fluid, similar to water. 🩷 Overall impression While it's not the cheapest option for its size, and the washing time increases a bit due to the two-step process, it would be great for those seeking a gentle, non-irritating shampoo. I like how mild it is and plan to purchase it again after finishing this bottle.
Cons➖ Inconvenience (increased shower time) As this seaweed shampoo uses natural surfactants without synthetic ones, it doesn't produce a very rich lather. You need to do a first and second wash to clean more thoroughly (as recommended on the product instructions). This results in a slightly longer shower time, which I found a bit inconvenient. ➖ Price vs. volume According to Hwahae, it's priced in the upper 20,000 won range, which seems a bit high for the volume. This might make it less accessible for some consumers, unfortunately.
TipWhen I only did the first shampoo, my hair felt a bit greasy and heavy. Following the recommendation on the product label to do a first and second wash, I found the results much more satisfactory in terms of user experience, with no heaviness. I recommend doing the pre-wash!

First off, my scalp and hair are in pretty bad shape due to three rounds of bleaching, maintaining bleached hair for about 6 months, and 2-3 dye jobs. When I used this shampoo, I felt a genuinely cool sensation on my scalp, not some artificial cooling effect. I think this refreshing feeling was also due to its great cleansing effectiveness. After being outside and then washing my hair, it feels more invigorating compared to other shampoos. I have sensitive scalp skin that's prone to blemishes, but this didn't cause any to appear and didn't over-dry my scalp either. I highly recommend this for those with super sensitive skin or an itchy scalp.
ConsWhile I'm using it well, I should mention that it doesn't lather up much. Though abundant foam isn't necessarily a good thing, this shampoo tends to produce less lather.
TipI was already using the Cheongmijung Seaweed Essence, and using them together has significantly reduced scalp itching and increased hydration. I actually recommend using them in combination rather than just the shampoo alone. Given its strong cleansing effectiveness, I definitely recommend following up with a conditioner.
