Uses of Camellia Oil for Hair Care

People have used camellia oil for hair care for centuries as for conditioning and styling hair. The oil is a popular choice for hair care because of the following benefits:

    * Moisturizing and effectively seals in moisture
    * Penetrates hair quickly without leaving a greasy residue
    * Light herbal scent that does not linger
    * Non-comedogenic
    * Hypoallergenic
    * Soothes dry scalp
    * Works well as a carrier oil with essential oils
    * Improves hair elasticity
    * Works well for people who find other natural oils too heavy for their hair

People can use camellia oil for hair care in the following ways:

    * Preshampoo treatment - Apply a generous amount of camellia oil to dry hair and let it sit for one hour. Shampoo and condition as usual.
    * Deep conditioner - Saturate hair with camellia oil and wrap hair in a warm towel or heating cap for 20 minutes. The warmth will help the oil penetrate the hair cuticles deeper. Follow with shampoo and conditioner.
    * Moisturize dry ends - Once or twice a day, rub a small amount of camellia oil onto the dry ends of the hair. Hair should feel softer and more pliant after application. This will combat hair dryness and prevent split ends. Oil can also be applied to damp ends after using a leave-in conditioner to seal in extra moisture.
    * Scalp conditioning - Rub a drop or two of camellia oil between palms. Massage the oil onto to the scalp with the fingertips for 10 minutes.
    * Daily moisturizer for hair - Apply a tiny amount of camellia oil to the entire hair shaft, especially the ends every day. Dry or damaged hair can benefit from twice daily moisturizing.

With all of camellia oil's hair care benefits, it is no wonder that it is growing in popularity.
