To New Yorkers (remember: just people from NYC), anything North of the NYC metropolitan area is considered Upstate (so basically anywhere other than NYC or Long Island).

People from Upstate NY will often debate with one another on what truly is Upstate and what isnât.

How to Use Hinoki Oil in Hair Care? This is the easy and fun part. After all those technicalities, which I tried to explain to you in simple language, you get to use the oil now. You can spice up your regular shampoo with Hinoki oil. Use 20 drops per Oz shampoo and use as you would normally. Only this time, try to leave it on for as long as you can. If possible, rinse the hair last. You can do the same with your conditioner too. On top of adding it to your shampoo, you can add the aromatic oil of Hinoki to a warm hair care mask.
