The Ojon Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy helps to protect, nourish and transform dull, damaged hair. Ojon gathered nourishing natural oils from the remote rainforests of Central America, across tropical Tahiti and the great Kalahari African Desert. The oils are legendary for their 'great healing powers' and Ojon infused them into three hair phases: Amber, Crystal and Red. Shake up the oil to blend the layers, then pour one drop into the palm of your hands and warm them together. Apply it to damp hair to help protect against damage, or to dry hair to add shine!
