Hanbi Scams
& Knock-offs
Something nobody tells you when a product actually works:
other people start selling a version of it.
Since Hanbi launched, we've watched a wave of copycat "Korean scalp" bars flood the market — copying our green triangular bar, lifting our exact wording, even reusing our before-and-after photos. Some just stamp "Korean" on a bar of cheap soap and call it hair regrowth.
The problem isn't only that these do nothing. It's that women lose two or three months on them, decide "Korean scalp care doesn't work," and give up. This page exists so that doesn't happen to you.
If you bought something that looked like Hanbi and saw no results, there's a good chance it wasn't us.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I bought a knock-off?
The real Hanbi ships only from our official website. It's a firm, matcha-green triangular bar with "12 fermented Korean herbs" on the label. If yours came from a random Amazon or TikTok listing, was a soft soapy bar, or arrived in generic packaging, it wasn't us.
Why are there so many fakes that look like Hanbi?
Because it works. Once thousands of women started regrowing hair, factories rushed cheap "Korean" bars to ride the trend — copying the color, the herb list, sometimes even our own before-and-after photos.
What makes the real Hanbi different from these fakes?
It's a solid concentrated bar — no water filler — so the 12 fermented Korean herbs work at full potency. Knock-offs are mostly water and fragrance. And the mechanism: the real bar clears years of scalp buildup so dormant follicles can wake up. A bar of scented soap does none of that.
Why is Hanbi more expensive than the Amazon alternatives?
Because you're not paying for the same thing. Fermented Korean herbs at full potency cost more than fragrance and filler. A cheap bar that does nothing isn't cheaper — it costs you two or three months.
I bought a fake and my scalp got worse. What should I do?
Stop using it and give your scalp a few days to settle, then start the real Hanbi once a day. The real one is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you're covered. Reporting the seller helps us shut them down faster.
How often should I use Hanbi?
Once a day. Sixty seconds, massaged into a wet scalp, in place of your shampoo. That's the whole routine.
How long before I see results?
Most women notice less shedding within 3–4 weeks and visible regrowth around 6–8 weeks. It's a biological process, not a paint job — consistency is what makes it work.
What will the bar feel like?
Firm and dense — not a soft, over-foaming soap. A little goes a long way, and one bar lasts most people one to two months.
