Camellia oil for hair

Camellia - evergreen, beautiful artisanal plant (tea family), common in East and Southeast Asia.

Camellia oil is extracted from four botanical species of the genus Camelliaceae, although there are more than 80 species of them in nature. The oil content of various types of Camellia seeds ranges from 40 to 60%.

Camellia oil has been used in China for over 2000 years (in cooking, medicine, hair, face and body care). Its properties in cosmetology are unique in that camellia oil is completely absorbed by the skin, saturating it with useful substances. Japanese geisha have long used camellia oil in their hair and skin care, and they are famous for their flawless skin and perfect hair like no one else.

The oil contains: fatty acids (12 types), vitamins A, B and E, minerals: phosphorus, calcium, manganese, iron, magnesium, squalene, polyphenols, bioflavonoids.

The color of the oil is from transparent to golden yellow, the smell is very weak, pleasant, almost invisible.

To do this, after shampooing, apply a small amount of oil to wet hair, distributing it along the length, somewhere from the middle (if you take the hair in a ponytail, then you can apply oil to everything that hangs down), paying attention, especially to the ends of the hair. Then you can dry and style your hair as usual. The oil is quickly absorbed and leaves no grease. But, it only needs 2-3 drops for an average hair length, so as not to overload the hair, otherwise it will hang like icicles.
