Tip

One of our favourite recipes is to combine 60% Coconut, 30% Jojoba Oil and 10% Camellia oil, finished with essential oils of your choice (Rosewood compliments this blend perfectly with its sweet but woody undertone).

If you offer Indian Head using oils, Camellia Oil is the perfect oil, light and conditioning to the hair and scalp it will leave your client feeling invigorated and relaxed with a fantastic shine.
