Absolutely Asian: Sulwhasoo Camelia Hair Oil
Sulwhasoo = "Korean Herbal Medicine Drawn from Asian Wisdom". At the heart of this brand is Korean herbal medicine, steeped in a long tradition of Eastern holistic philosophy that searches for deeper answers, with a desire to find harmony and balance.
This hair oil is formulated with traditional Korean herbs and natural camelia oil to revive your hair’s natural shine. I love how the bottle looks so traditionally Asian, in fact their entire range has this oriental look. Like!
