Description:
|
Camellia seed oil is high in oleic acid. It has been used in Japan for centuries to moisturize and condition the skin, hair and nails. Camellia oil is a nourishing addition to creams for dry, damaged skin, hair conditioners, scalp treatments, eye creams and after sun skin care products. It can be used in any proportion. Camellia oil is similar in color and viscosity to jojoba. It penetrates quickly and can be used alone on the skin, hair and nails. It is an exceptional oil for skin care formulations and soaps. Camellia seed oil can be used as a carrier oil for aromatherapy treatments.

I paid approximately $6 for a 2 oz bottle from http://stores.ebay.com/Hedys-Haven
I like this oil better than jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is too waxy/heavy for me.
My other favorites are coconut oil (monoi) and grapeseed
I find that camellia oil is difficult to over-oil with. It's a light oil and I only need a couple of drops to oil my length.
I like to use this just before my weekly full head shampoo (when I wash all of my hair)

I bought a 60ml bottle of Oshima Tsubaki oil, which is a Japanese Camellia oil, for $13.
Wonderful oil for smoothing and anti frizz. I have coarse hair and it makes my wavy hair straighter so if I am looking for that effect this is the oil to use. It gives a great shine to hair.
For me it is easy to over oil with Camellia oil. I use this as a leave in on dry hair. It makes combing easier and I find less tangles.

Camillia oil is one of the best oils I have ever tried, though be careful that you get the oil produced in Japan and not the one from china, The Japanese one is a corn yellow colour and is of better quality than the pale chinese one.
I use just one and a bit drops on my hair; applying from the ears down, it can make the hair greasy so less is more, just build up the amount until you find whats right for your length and thickness.
Camillia oil is expensive though and that's the only negative aspect I can think of. For Ukers please be sure that you will not be paying custom charges on it, if buying from the USA this can end up costing you, more than the actual product. Nonetheless, although it is expensive a little goes a long way and in comparison to say coconut oil it is like comparing fizzy wine to champagne!
To summarise its great for de-frizzing, adding shine and softness but like I said expensive but I highly recommend it to anybody wanting to treat them selves.
