Used it twice so far after I bought it. I'm surprised the soap doesn't dry up the hair but both worked together to give the hair a very soft feeling and looks more volume. - Annette

Best Local Scalp Shampoo

CAMELLIA

HAIR & SCALP SHAMPOO BAR

Natural Hair Care:

Silicone-Free. Soothes Itchy & Sensitive Scalp.

With its golden color and creamy texture, Japanese Camellia oil (also known as Tea Seed Oil) has been responsible for the classic, legendary beauty of Japanese hair for centuries.

In Japan, Camellia oil is commonly used as a leave-in, best when applied to damp hair such as after showering. How much to apply is a matter of personal preference. A little goes a long way, though you can apply as much as you like. Geishas and maikos apply a lot, for the distinct Japanese traditional glossy hair look they prefer.

For difficult hair, it can also be applied to hair before washing to detangle hair and make it more manageable.

The benefit list of Camellia oil for hair care is long:

Softens hair and tame frizzy hair

Restores hair's natural shine

Hydrate dry hair

Forms a barrier against environmental pollutants

Repairs breakage and split ends

Soothe dry scalp and itchiness

Treats damage from chemicals of perms and coloring

The key to healthy hair is healthy follicles. Shampoo is alkaline, which is bad for your hair. Age and environmental dirt clogs your follicles and makes them unhealthy. Camellia oil deeply penetrates and cleans your follicles, removing dirt and other impurities. This stimulates increased hair cell activity and hair cell division. The end result is that your hair grows more quickly, it is healthier and stronger, and inactive hair cells become "awakened" and active again. There is also increased production of melanin which reverses the graying process, and the slightly acidic pH of camellia oil helps neutralize the alkalinity of shampoo to prevent further damage.

SPECIAL NOTE:

What to expect with this Hair Care product?

Patience is the key when comes to switching your hair care from commercial to natural. There is often a detox period where you hair may feel stiff, dangling, sticky, oily, heavy, or dry. The myriad of synthetic products that are so often in our commercial shampoos and conditioners artificially coat the hair with plastic or protein polymers to make it look and feel undamaged. The more damaged the hair, the more porous it becomes; the more porous the hair, the more it absorbs these synthetic protein polymers (e.g. soy, wheat or oat proteins that are NOT edible foods), plastic polymers such as PVP (petrochemical polyvinyl pyrrolidone) and gum coating agents.

Until the residues of protein and plastic polymers have been completely removed your hair will take some time to heal from all the chemicals, leaving it feeling a little less than ideal. But if youre patient, the end result is worth the wait! As new hair grows in to replace old damaged hair, youll probably be amazed at the difference. Then again, for some with very chemically damaged hair, they may not like the way their hair feels after the detox, because this all-natural Hair Care Soap contains none of the vinyl or protein plastic polymers to coat their hair to make it feel or look undamaged.
