Dry hair Olive Oil and your hair

I like using olive oil for as a treatment for dry hair. Apply a small amount and then I cover my hair with a showercap and wait about a good 1-2 hours, depending on how dry your hair is, then wash and style as usual.

I tried it for the first time this morning and love the results. I will start making this a weekly practice.   Wet hair? Comments By: Doreen Hi sorry to ask this stupid question but do i need to wet my hair before applying the olive oil? TipKing says: I think that you would apply it when the hair was dry!   To Doreen Comments By: commonsense You are suppose to apply it when your hair is wet not dry.   Oil on dry hair Comments By: Anon You MUST use oil on dry hair so that it gets at the hair immediately. When hair is wet then the oil doesnt cling on. Plus 2-3 hrs is not enough. The longer you wait the better the results. I use oil everyday to style my hair so I know   Say What? Comments By: Tricia How does olive oil give you more gray hairs? Can someone explain this?   Use on dry hair Comments By: Gwen Definetly dry hair. If your hair is wet, nothing gets in.

Comments By: anon My blonde hair has been over processed leaving it brittle and straw-like. I saturated my hair with a 1/2 cup of warm (not hot) olive oil in my hair last night. I massaged it into the bad spots. i pulled it up in a shower cap and slept on it. This morning I washed my hair twice and conditioned it and it is like new hair!!! So super soft and silky. I have tried many super pricey products in my day - who knew something in my kitchen would put all of them to shame.   Im guessing you want healthy looking hair Comments By: anon Ive done this before. Put the oil onto ur DRY hair and leave for about an hour, then put loads of shampoo on to absorb it (BUT NO WATER YET), and leave the shampoo on for about an hour... put a little bit more shampoo on again and then wash of off with water. Im guessing you want healthy looking hair, not greasy, and this is how to do t! :)   Awful hair Comments By: Diane I am trying olive oil on my hair for the first time tonight I just hope it works, from all the comments I have read it sounds great, just hope it works for me.   THE BEST! Comments By: connie I tried Extra Virgin Olive oil on my hair only once so far as of this writing. Shampooed twice but used 1 teaspoon of Vinegar in a large glass of water for final rinse. Healthy, full, bouncy non greasy, conditioned air! it is food for the scalp as well.   THIS SUCKS ! Comments By: kayla ! This tip is retarded and does not work ! My hair is more dry and the ends are all over the place, do not do this. My hair is worse than it was to begin with ! ):
