How to use Japanese camellia oil for hair?

I started using camellia oil for my hair about a month ago, and I really like it.

I think it's great for styling, and even though it is a bit thick, it adds a lot of shine and luster to my hair, which I actually didn't notice at first. Recently I've been trying to incorporate camellia oil into other products as well, and I've had some successes. I used this Camellia Oil by Sally Hansen to clean my bathroom, and I also tried it as a facial scrub.

First I just wanted to give you all some background information about Japanese camellia oil. This camellia oil was actually developed in Japan in the late 20th century, and originally it was developed as a medicine for acne. The oil is extracted from the seed of the camellia japonica, which is the only species of camellia found in Japan. In Japan, camellia oils are used in lotions and shampoos, and they can even be used in facial scrubs, though I haven't tried any of these myself.

But you know what? Since the oil can be easily extracted from the seeds, I feel like it's pretty safe to use it in regular products. The oil itself contains very small amounts of vitamins and minerals, and no harmful chemicals, so it's not like it can be used to make products that are considered to be safer. If you want to know more about it, please check out my previous post on it.

Now, let's talk about how to use camellia oil for hair. Using Camellia Oil for hair. I used Japanese camellia oil for my hair in the following ways: Camellia Oil Shampoo - I shampooed my hair with this Camellia Oil Shampoo, and I like the way it feels in my hair. I didn't use any conditioner when I used this shampoo, so I actually got a lot of nourishment from it. For the best results, I really recommend getting at least half a cup of this shampoo. I use this shampoo in the morning, and then I usually go to bed and rinse my hair with a normal conditioner, which does help my hair a bit.

Is camellia oil good for your hair?

I have read a lot about camellia oil on hair.

Some say they work so I wanted to put it to the test myself by using it for only my hair and see what happens. Does anyone know anything about it? If yes how long would I have to use it every day before I feel it was worth using or is it really doing nothing at all for my hair?

Replies to This Discussion. I have had camellia oil from a company in California named Camellia oil. What you want to do is find out how much and how often to use it because the more you use the faster your hair will become damaged. I have used it when it was new and after 4 months when my hair started to get dry (it took about a year). It is wonderful especially when you put 2 or 3 small amounts on your hair and it absorbs into your hair really fast. The trick to using camellia oil is that you should use it as a deep conditioner not just for hair but for your whole body.

I am in the process of using the Camellia Oil. My hair has been in the worst state and now, thanks to the treatment I am using (it is from www.cremeoils-com) it is getting better. No matter how hard you can try to do some natural thing you may be wasting your time. What worked for me is called cremeoils com. Also my advise is to only go to a place that you know its reputable and you trust with your money and that they give you a proper explanation before you start using it. For me personally I like the brand named 'Voila' for their cremeoils. I have oily hair as well and for me the cremeoil is working well. If you feel that it is not working for you than don't waste your time with it.

I have used Camellia Oil for the past 8 years. It has kept my hair soft and tangle free since I began using it. I've been using it since I started combing my hair and even after doing all of the damage it can do. I think if I didn't use it I would have to cut it out of my routine. Just remember to follow directions and don't over apply, the oil goes where you need it and the rest will follow.

What oil do Japanese use for hair?

I tried using the "Sawaiya" in Japan, and it doesn't seem to be working on my hair at all.

I usually use about 2-3 drops for my hair. And you get your hair looking soft & moisturized after a few washes.

When did we learn to massage the scalp and why? The reason I ask is because I've been going through a process of becoming natural myself (from color treated to the current process - and yes, I have seen results). I have to admit that I don't think massage has been mentioned in any of the books I've read.

As I know it now, shampooing and rinsing is very important and I guess massage is what allows for the water to run away and moisturize the hair. So would massage be as effective as oil? And when did it evolve into being such an integral part of our hair care routines? It's not necessary. If you haven't done so already, start practicing a deep scalp massage.

Some people even practice daily scalp massages. This could be a great way to start making a new habit with the intention to practice daily for the whole year. You could start by massaging your scalp for about 2 minutes each day, or even just twice a week.

Well, for me, the problem is - while the oil does soften my hair somewhat, when I wash the hair it just takes out what seems to be all of the moisture. It's so brittle and dry - you know how it is after washing your hair. My hair feels like straw from the ends to the ends.

As for the oil, I've actually stopped using it and I feel like my hair is really moisturizing and soft. But it's just that after washing it doesn't appear to lose the moisture and it doesn't feel really silky.

I have to say that if the only way to moisturize is to massage my scalp, I'll do it. But it may not always work, and the fact that it's very expensive for me, I can't just start doing it all the time.

Can you leave camellia oil in your hair overnight?

I would like to leave left over camellia oil on my hair to see if it causes my hair breakage (I've used a few times at least before and got breakage) or if it will leave a greasy sheen? I like the scent of camellia so I might have to do a double application. Camellia oil is the same as soy, it doesn't make you smell unless you rub it on. The only reason it can cause breakage in some people is that the ph is right around 5, not the most suitable for long term usage. Some people experience sensitivity if you go in over the top, but the oil doesn't need it. It wouldn't last to leave any kind of residue.

In theory it should be ok though as your hair wont absorb it so it shouldn't stick to it much. But still try not to wash for at least a day first if you do go ahead with the application.

I would like to leave left over camellia oil on my hair to see if it causes my hair breakage (I've used a few times at least before and got breakage) or if it will leave a greasy sheen? Is it ok if I leave it in my hair after shampooing but before conditioner? Like an overnight treatment? Do I have to be careful if I have sensitive skin? I use baby shampoo because I want to leave it in my hair overnight.
