Review: For a while after I cut my hair for the new year, I noticed that my hair was drier than normal. It broke easily as I combed through it and it felt like I was losing hair faster than it would grow back. Scared me for a sec, but I realized it was because I had been ironing my hair every day and not doing anything to help replenish the moisture my hair was losing. I came across this after browsing through the Missha website. I needed something to help me get to the free shipping minimum during a big sale event they were having. I was reading through the description and as soon as a I saw that Camellia oil was one of its main ingredients, I didn’t think twice about buying it. Camellia oil is also the main ingredient for Boscia’s Tsubaki Beauty Oil (another product I absolutely love by the way!!!). The folks at Boscia have told me you can use their Tsubaki Beauty Oil for your hair as well, but I hesitated just because of how much it costs per bottle. So, when I saw this I figured it was a good cheaper alternative. And I was not wrong at all!

Now, my hair didn’t get to the point where it was so badly damaged, I had to use an entire bottle in one application but I certainly used a good amount of it the first few times I used it. I found it was easier to apply when my hair was more on the drier side, it made me feel as if my hair absorbed it more when I applied it then vs. when it was still wet/damp. At first I used 10 drops scattered throughout my hair and as time went on I started using less and less. After a few weeks, I started noticing that my hair broke less (not having the flat iron on its hottest setting helped too) and the ends didn’t feel as dry anymore. Now, I cut back the amount I use to 5 drops and it’s still enough to massage through the scalp and hair. If you were to apply this product on your wet hair, don’t worry about it flowing off. The consistency of this product is that of a runny gel, so when it’s applied to the scalp it doesn’t spread off fast. It has a nice floral scent that is very soft.

Overall, I think it is a good value for the price. The bottles are small, but that’s when I can say looks can be deceiving. There is a lot more product in there than one can imagine. One bottle now can last me about 3 weeks and the package has 4 bottles in there as well as the applicator. You might need more product if your hair is longer. I had shoulder length hair (cut into a bob) when I started using this product.
