We're looking for monoterpene alcohols .... ones that aren't
phototoxic and are least likely to cause skin irritation. Terpineol,
linalool, geraniol, cineol.

I've not terped for my hair ... because its a big skin area, and I get
good enough stain without terping hair, On skin ..... terping is the
only way to go.

I'd go easy on terping for hair .... just because of the larger skin
area, and the amount of that you have to breathe for several hours.
