When I first used it, I was like, 'Huh? Why is it so stiff?' But brushing my hair still works well. It's stiff, but I feel like my hair is getting a bit stronger? Haha. And you need to thoroughly wet your hair and lather it up with shampoo to get a good amount of suds.

I thought the scent would be sweet like coconut oil, but it smells like petroleum, so I wasn't sure if I should use it or not. But since I didn't want to waste the money, I just kept using it, and now I don't really mind the smell anymore. However, I don't feel like my hair gets completely clean with just one shampoo.

I purchased it from Teguet. I bought the same haircare line, but the unscented one instead of the coconut one (I heard that even the coconut one is a vegan product, so the fragrance won't be irritating either). I tried the Aromatica Rosemary and my scalp was too itchy. The best thing is that my scalp feels comfortable now. There is no irritation at all. Shampoos with bad ingredients or herbal oils used to cause itchiness for a few days, but this one doesn't have that. It rinses out well and the lather is nicely thick for a natural shampoo. (Satisfied) My hair is not dry either. The stiffness after shampooing is not as severe compared to other natural shampoos. The Avalon Organics shampoo or Aromatica made my hair feel stiff enough to make a crunching sound when I ran my fingers through it, but this one is not that bad. When I spray water on it and run my hands through, it just feels slightly rough. I used Aromatica before and my hair was falling out a lot, but this time it seems I've found the right product. I paid around 14,900 won for a 500ml bottle, and I think it will last me about a month since I wash my hair twice a day in the morning and evening.

Since it's a pre-wash shampoo, I have to wash my hair twice, so I end up using more of the product. I can see it running out faster than a regular 500ml shampoo that would last me a month. (With gentle, natural shampoos, double washing is necessary since the cleansing power is relatively weaker.) Also, the 500ml bottle has an inconvenient opening - it's hard to control the amount when you have to squeeze it out. I bought a pump bottle from Daiso to transfer it into. The 1000ml size has a pump, so that would be more convenient. When I use the pre-wash with the Utekram rinse, the lather seems to dissipate quickly, though it's not as much of an issue with the second wash. I think it's better to use just a tiny bit of the regular shampoo for the pre-wash. --------I also bought the conditioner, and this is a whole new experience in terms of the texture and feel. I got the rose scent, but it's not a rich, floral fragrance. There's a slightly fishy or watery note to it, and it has an artificial quality. I don't think I can expect much in terms of the hair being fragrant after using this. The conditioner feels like it's just dissolving into the water - it's almost like a rinse rather than a coating conditioner. I was a bit puzzled when applying it, but after rinsing, my hair does feel more manageable. However, I don't think I'll be repurchasing the conditioner. As for the shampoo, as long as it doesn't cause any issues, I'd be open to buying it again.

Okay, I'll be sure to let the shampoo lather sit on my hair for 5 minutes after applying it. That's an important step that helps increase the cleansing power. I'll be sure to do that.
