Yao tribal people are well known for their healthy, lustrous looking hair, their secret to their hair care routine is frequent use of camellia seed to cleanse their scalp and hair.
Without harsh chemical additives from chemical shampoo (i.e. silicone-based surfactant, parabens, synthetic fragrance), Yao tribal people’s daily camellia seed hair care is natural yet great to keep our hair healthy.

Sensation: Powder with chocolatey scent from camellia seed and grassy scent from thuja leaves.
Content: 350ml. Approximately 30-50 use, depending on your hair length and usage pattern.
How to Use
Place around 5-10g of hair wash powder in small container and add warm water to shake it well. Pour the dissolved hair wash powder liquid on scalp evenly, and massage your scalp using finger gently for at least 3-5 minutes. This allows camellia seed powder to fully dissolve oil and dirt on your scalp. Do not rub your hair as this creates extra friction and might cause hair to tangle. Wash away hair wash powder thoroughly using clear water. Excessive hair wash powder might still retain on scalp / hair after cleansing, it can be easily removed using comb and hair dryer.
Note: You may experience a transition period when you first switch to natural shampoo bar and hair wash powder to cleanse your hair. During this transition period, you may have a waxy feeling on your hair as your hair is going through expelling period to clear chemical additive (i.e. SLS, Silicone-based surfactant) accumulated in the past. After 7-14 days, you will notice fresher scalp and smoother hair texture.
Caution: Always lower your head to avoid contact with eyes area, as camellia seed can be stimulating to eyes. Wash thoroughly with clear water if any contact happens.
We recommend to only use this hair wash powder to cleanse your scalp during normal days, and pair it up with Thuja & Camellia Shampoo Bar when stronger cleansing is needed (e.g. exercise days / heavy sweating days). This helps scalp to retain natural protection layer and to promote more efficient scalp skin rejuvenation.
