This is one of my ride-or-die brands.▶ 16:26–16:31
You need very small amount and this is actually quite a huge bottle.▶ 16:41–16:48
All the shu uemura products have this camellia seed oil, which is a Japanese well-known oil that back in the days geishas used to slather on their hair and skin and basically everywhere for hydration and shine.▶ 16:50–16:58
I've been really loving camellia oil products because it works really well with low porosity hair.▶ 17:03–17:09
It's super lightweight and yet really, really hydrating.▶ 17:09–17:13
