| I bought a bottle of rinse by mistake. I have no idea what the purpose of rinse is. Can one of you inform me. |

| Rinse is conditioner. Use it after shampoo. I don't know why it's called rinse in Korea? |

Same thing happened to me the other day, but it was a huge bottle and cost 8,000 won. Absolutely useless, as far as I can tell.
I thought this thread was going to be about perms. I'm a little disappointed. |

| According to Stephen Revere (the host of the Korean language learning program "Let's Speak Korean" currently airing on Arirang TV) it's from "Shampoo and rinse". |

For the untutored, because I know there are folks out there for whom "conditioner" has as little meaning as "rinse"...
You shampoo your hair, rinse it clean, then put this "conditioner/rinse" stuff in. It's like moisturizer, and it will tend to make your hair easier to comb, and probably shinier. Leave it in for a minute or two, then rinse out as much as you can. Take a bow. |

Thanks for the info, folks.
Sorry to disappoint you about the topic, Q. You are also out 400 more Won than me. Them's the breaks, boy.  |

In a pinch, it can also double as shaving cream. I prefer to use conditioner instead of shaving cream because it makes my legs feel much silkier. Plus, it smells better.

If we ever meet, can I smell your legs? |

For those of you who have color treated hair, do you find that Korean water bleaches out your color? I've only been back in Korea for a week now, and my brown color is drastically fading! And when I previously had blonde highlights, it quickly turned brassy.
Has this happened to anyone else? |

Since we'll never meet, I feel safe in saying, "Sure, why not?"  |

And it's much, much cheaper here.
Actually, I find shampoo works better than conditioner for this purpose... |

Yeah, I've used shampoo a few times, but it tends to be too thick and gunk up my razor too quickly. Probably the brand I was using. What brand do you use?
Another good reason to use conditioner is because you always run out of shampoo faster....this evens it out a little more. (or so I like to think) |

It's happened to a few friends, but I suspect the fading had more to do with the quality of the dye they use here. |
