How it's used
People often shorten this to just 護髮 or 潤髮乳, though 護髮素 is the standard term found on product labels. It is essential to distinguish this from 洗頭水, as using them in the wrong order or skipping the rinse will leave hair feeling greasy or heavy.

Common mistake
Beginners sometimes confuse this with 洗頭水 because both are liquid hair products, but remember that 護髮素 is applied after shampooing and must be rinsed out thoroughly.
