I'm very satisfied that it doesn't take up too much space in the bathroom. Through social media, I saw an ingenious revolution where a magnet is used on one side, as the bathroom is often exposed to moisture, to attach it to the wall or store it separately. However, since I'm not that diligent, I just left it on the existing soap holder, and it doesn't get easily worn out. I tend to check the ingredients carefully, and the shampoo, treatment, and rinse products I use have light formulas without silicone or heavy chemicals, which I'm satisfied with. However, it's true that they lack moisturizing power compared to those products. From this, I've learned one more thing - there's no free lunch in this world, and you can't have it all.
ConsTo anyone, the product in the form of a bar soap takes some time to get used to when using it for the first time. However, humans are adaptable creatures. It has been 3 weeks since I started using it. The initial shock of using it for the first time is unforgettable... It is as hard as a rock, making me wonder if it will even apply. While the relative expectation that it is too hard to easily soften makes me think I can use it for a long time, by the time I wonder if this is really a treatment, after a few days, it naturally softens and applies well. For a few days, I wonder how to apply it and if this is correct, and while it is written as 'no wash', when I apply it, I also end up washing it off after brushing my teeth. When I wash it off, a rough and thick lather comes out, so I should try using it without rinsing it off as directed on a day when I'm not going out.
TipI'm not sure if this is right, but as I use it, it seems to work well. I think I'm in the process of breaking in a pair of stiff shoes. With an open mind, I proceed slowly... The aesthetics of patience are always enjoyable.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThey say it lasts quite a long time with just one. I purchased the full-size product for the first time this week, and I thought it would be economical to use for about 6 months at around 10,000 to 15,000 won, but it doesn't perform the role of a treatment. Even without using a soap dish, magnetic holder, or soap tray, and just tossing it in the shower basket after use, it doesn't get mushy.
ConsRather than a treatment, it's more like a solid hair essence. There's hardly any fragrance. When you wash your hair and smell it, it's about the same as water scent.. It's too dry and lacks nourishment to be used as a treatment. If you use this as a treatment, your hair will become frizzy. You can only use it as a solid hair essence or hair oil that can be applied in the bathroom. Be sure to use it together with another treatment. The water flowing from your hair drips down your whole body, making it slippery.. Even after using this product, your hair will still be dry, so you'll need to continue using a liquid treatment.
TipI first apply it and then use my fingers to gently comb through and untangle any knots. I then rinse it off with water. I purchased the mini size to try it out, and after being satisfied, I bought the full-size version, which is easier to apply to my hair. In the past, Lush had a solid hair treatment that you could melt in hot water to create a cream-like consistency, then apply to dry hair before shampooing. I think I could try using that method as well.

It's such a great product that I recommend and give it as a gift everywhere Since it doesn't need to be rinsed, it's a grateful companion that helps save a little time on busy morning commute preparations My friends ask what treatment I use because my hair becomes so silky smooth, and it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients found in all commercial treatments
ConsIf not properly brushed, one may occasionally discover small clumps stuck in the hair. It's important to be mindful of this.
TipTake advantage of the telecom discounts (especially T-day)! Discount coupons are also often posted on Carrot Market. Shampoo bars and treatment bars have not yet become mainstream, so new products received as gifts are often posted on Carrot Market.

Just wring out the moisture, apply it, and wrap it in a towel to go. The ingredients are good, and there is no waste, which is satisfactory! Even without applying an essence, it has enough moisturizing power that static electricity does not build up excessively in the winter. And it really feels like it lasts a long time.
ConsIt's a bit difficult to recommend for long hair 😢 The tangles that form while shampooing don't all come out, and when drying the hair, the tangled strands fall out in clumps... I've tried this and that, but no matter what I do, a lot of hair falls out during the drying stage....😢
TipThe length up to the shoulder-touching medium-length haircut seems good!

I usually have trouble with fragrances or artificial scents, but this has a subtle citrus aroma that is not overbearing.
ConsHowever, I actually hardly use it because it's too inconvenient to use. I'm not sure about the product quality, but it's more difficult than I thought to evenly apply the treatment bar all over, so I end up not using it.. Also, since it's a product that needs to be managed separately in a different container, it was quite bothersome for me in various ways..

It's so easy to use and the scent is lovely. Plus, I feel psychologically satisfied that I've made an environmentally-friendly choice.
ConsSometimes I do get confused between shampoo bars and regular shampoo. But not really.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsPaper packaging and no empty bottles, so it seems good for those who aim for zero waste. The scent is heavy and mature.
ConsI tried using the extremely damaged hair product, but the fragrance is quite strong. This can be an advantage, but for me it became a disadvantage. As mentioned in the detailed description, the scalp absorbs the ingredients well. Furthermore, what is absorbed through the scalp can remain in the body for a long time (there are even stories of pregnant women's amniotic fluid smelling like the shampoo they used). So when using hair products personally, I'm more careful about the ingredients than with skincare products, and I tend to avoid using heavily scented products like perfume shampoos or perfume treatments. I had heard that the company has a good reputation, and since this was my first time using a treatment bar, I thought it might have a lighter scent than the bottled product, so I bought it without checking the ingredients. But the scent turned out to be much stronger than I expected. For about an hour after use, the strong fragrance was noticeable to people around me. In contrast, the good quality soap I use for shampoo and body wash only has a scent while washing, and it disappears quickly afterwards. But with the long-lasting, intense fragrance of this product, I checked the ingredients and found a few concerning ones. I think this is my fault for not checking the ingredients, so I'll only use it until the new treatment bar arrives. I hope others don't make the same mistake of buying a treatment bar without checking the ingredients.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is the biggest advantage - it doesn't require washing. After treatment, I rinse it for quite a long time until there is almost no more lather, and when I apply it to my hair, I try not to let it get too close to my scalp. To be honest, even when I'm washing, I sometimes wonder if the active ingredients are still left in my hair after rinsing it so thoroughly. The Hwahae treatment bar doesn't need to be rinsed, so I don't have to worry about that, and it saves time, which is convenient and great. After using it, there is almost no tangling when I brush my hair, and the scent is satisfactory, so I recommended it to my mom! You only need to apply it once or twice in one area, and even with Hwahae, my hair doesn't get weighed down. It lasts a long time. I've been using it for quite a while since I bought it, and I still have a long way to go before I finish it.
ConsThe shampoo bar and treatment bar of the brand were purchased together and hung on a magnetic soap holder, but the treatment bar seems to be a bit softer. The shampoo bar is well-attached, but the treatment bar slipped out and fell off. When placed on a regular holder, the part in contact does not dry well, making it extremely soft. 'Hwahae' is a bit heavy and stiff, even though the hair feels soft and calm after use. It's hard to describe, but it's not sticky. However, that peculiar feeling is not quite to my liking, which is disappointing.
TipThe best way was to insert the plastic bottle cap into the treatment bar and flip it over so that the moisture doesn't reach it. The regular bottle caps are not as good, but the plastic milk bottles are wider and thicker, so they were the best option. The photo shows the bottle cap inserted at the bottom, slightly floating above the stand so that it doesn't touch it. Those who feel uncomfortable using the no-wash method can rinse it out, but the no-wash method works better. Sometimes, there may be small clumps forming. You can gently brush them down with your hands or lightly loosen them.

Other than that, I don't really feel there are any particularly good points.
ConsWhen used, residue remains visible and needs to be rinsed, and it can cause trouble when it touches the scalp.
