My hair is looking really dry and dull. I've been using Curair shampoo which I think must be the equivalent of using dish soap on my hair. Any good shampoos I can get at Lotte Mart, The Face Shop, Skin Food, or Innisfree? Those are the easiest places for me to get to.

Pantene?

I use KeraSys Salon Care and love it.

Have you tried "Have a Rice Day"?

Herbal Essence (sold at Costco)

Very expensive and you didn't mention this shop, but the shampoos from The Body Shop are great, especially the ginger one. I highly recommend the olive conditioner as well.

I never use shampoo, and my hair is very long. There's no need to put those chemicals in your hair (no, I'm not a hippie).

If my hair gets too stinky, I just wash it with a cheap bar of soap (if there is one that I swiped from a hotel lying around). Factual fact, and my hair looks great, thanks for asking.

Yeah, I was going to say, there are a lot of "natural" cleansers you can use, like oils and eggs and such. Really, all anyone really needs is conditioner, and maybe shampoo once or twice a week.

But yes, I've heard that Pantene and Head and Shoulders are available at G-market/Lotte Mart. Good luck!

when I lived in canada I always used pantene. when my supply that I brought here ran out, I bought pantene here. I don't know why but the pantene here is just not the same.

I started randomly buying different brand names and the results were as terrible as the pantene until I tried one brand called DANTROL.

it was just like the pantene I had brought from home so that's all I use now.

Lush make shampoo bars. They're round, and smell heavenly. If you can, use the black one, though I haven't seen that particular scent (licorice) yet in Korea. That one's great for the scalp.

[OiGirl]

Ooh! Yes, there's a Lush counter in many Shinsegaes. I haven't tried them, but have heard many great things about them. You have to get used to the whole shampoo bar thing, though!

Well, I don't know you but perhaps the reason behind your hair's dullness is lack of nutrition? Maybe you could try eating a healthier diet if you don't already do so.
But if that's not the case, which hair products did you use at home that you liked? I've seen some name-brand shampoos and conditoners sold in salons here and on gmarket such as Paul Mitchell, Joico, KMS, Tigi, Aveda, Kiehls, etc.
I can try to help you find what you want.

Hyndai Dept stores sell Aveda products.

I recommend their rosemary mint shampoo. very nice

I am mixed-race so my hair tends to be dry... have been using mise en scene and kerasys since i got here depending what is on sale, my hair has never been in such good condition.
