Community summary
The most frequently mentioned point is the scent. Praise like 'the scent is so good,' 'number one among shampoos for scent,' and 'the scent lasts until the next evening' was the most common, at 215 of 500 reviews. Descriptions of it as a fresh apple scent or a soft floral scent are mixed in. Across the 500 reviews read, the ★4–5 share is 96%.
Next come lather and cleansing. 'Lathers richly even with a small amount' appeared in 143 reviews, and cleansing comments that it removes oiliness cleanly and leaves a refreshed feel in 88. Olive Young's official metrics are also 77% rich lather, 66% very satisfied with cleansing, and 64% gentle and low-irritation.
Hair feel, large size, and repurchase also come up often. 84 reviews say hair feels soft and silky rather than stiff after washing, 79 mention the 1L size lasting a long time, and 78 are loyal-user reviews from people who have used it for years or keep repurchasing. On the other hand, some say they feel no improvement in hair feel or that it actually feels stiff and frizzy (around 37 reviews), a minority say oily scalps may feel more oil or that it caused scalp breakouts, and some complain it leaked during delivery (5 reviews).
These are counts only of reviews, out of the 500 read, where the expression appeared directly in the wording. If anything, we undercounted rather than inflated — it's a minimum.

Downsides (mentioned repeatedly)

- Scent is hit-or-miss · longevity variesMost praise the scent, but a minority say it's artificial and not to their taste, or that it fades faster than expected.
- Minority views on oily scalps · scalp breakoutsA few reviews say it's good for dry hair but oily types may feel more oil, that it caused breakouts along the hairline, or that hair got greasy quickly. If your scalp is sensitive, we recommend watching how it reacts as you use it.
