What it is
To solve the poor lathering and dirt removal problems of amino acid-based shampoos, raw honey is used in the formula, with the second highest amount after water. This amino acid-based shampoo still produces bouncy lather. It reduces friction during shampooing, gently cleansing damaged hair and scalp while thoroughly removing dirt. It uses only the same gentle cleansing ingredients found in baby shampoos, and does not contain sulfates (sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, etc.) or sodium olefin sulfonate. It is silicone-free.
Ingredients
How to use
After pre-washing with warm water, take an appropriate amount in your hand, apply to your hair, lather, and massage into your scalp. Wash twice if desired, then rinse thoroughly.

The scent is simply amazing. I also feel like it lathers well. The best thing is that every time I use it, I get a fresh scent that lifts my spirits.
I've been using this shampoo for several years now. Of course, I've tried many other shampoos, but I always end up coming back to this one. My hair is soft, thin, and prone to getting oily, so I want volume and fluffiness. This shampoo lathers easily, is bouncy, and is very easy to wash. My hair is voluminous and fluffy after shampooing. It also reduces oiliness. Another thing is that my scalp itchiness has clearly improved. The slightly sweet scent of apple and honey is soothing. Personally, I think it's a truly wonderful shampoo.
[Testing 200 Shampoos] No. 118 Thank you for viewing! Following me encourages me to keep posting! ★ 20s, Hair Type: Thick Bob, Bleached (2 or 3 Times) I forgot where I bought it, but my husband said it was LOFT. I was a little worried about the slightly cheap-looking packaging, but I still bought the trial size. I had no idea it was getting so much buzz on social media. The scent is honey and apple. The apple scent is quite strong. The conditioner has a stronger scent than the shampoo. It lathers really well, which is what I like most about this shampoo. The honey in the formula creates a thick, rich lather, giving a feeling of thorough cleansing. After blow-drying, my hair felt so smooth I wanted to keep touching it. It effectively controlled frizz, yet still felt fluffy, which was just the right balance. There was no frizz, and it gave my hair a shine that made it hard to tell it was bleached. I absolutely love the finished product. The only thing I didn't like was the scent, so I don't think we'll be buying the full version, but it's definitely worth a try!!
[Update] I'm still using it in 2026. Qoo10's Q Mart now carries Honey Plus's Shampoo, so I've been buying it during their mega sale for the past few years. It's great to be able to get it at a discount! [2022] I've been using it for about three years. It makes my hair shiny and manageable. I no longer have split ends. It produces a lot of foam, so it lasts a long time, even on long hair. It's great value for money. Every few years, my scalp would itch and I'd scratch it with my fingernails, which would lead to dandruff, but that's gone now. I'm grateful that they seem to be particular about the ingredients. I'd be really happy if they sold refills outside of the official website and Amazon.
I also bought the conditioner, but I ended up loving the shampoo. I love the scent, and it lathers up really well, and my hair feels smooth even after rinsing. The only downside is that it's not available in stores.
