Olive Oil - What can it do for you?

Olive oil is wonderful for dry hair (which would include curly hair). A small amount can effectively  smooth and de-frizz hair. There is no buildup with olive oil like in grease. Olive Oil does not weigh down your hair when you use the right amount.

Extra virgin olive oil can help the growth for your hair due to the rich in high levels of mono-unsaturated fatty acids and Vitamin E. If you didn't know Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is great for hair growth.  We want hair growth! Not only hair growth it helps you retain your growth because both of these ingredients are great for protecting, nourishing, and moisturizing. If your able to protect, nourish and moisturize your hair on a regular basis that's some beautiful healthy hair.

Now that you know the benefits now you need to know how to use it. For some reason a lot of people have the misconception that you cant use "regular" olive oil on your hair, that you have to go to the hair store and buy the "brand" or a product containing olive oil. Go right to your grocery store and buy some olive oil right off the shelf for your hair, our better yet in your cabinet at home. I guarantee this will be cheaper, last longer and many more benefits.

I suggest extra virgin olive oil because the scent is not has heavy, in addition to the great benefits.You don't want to be walking around smelling like olive oil. All ways remember that a little olive oil goes a long way.

You can use it to seal your ends, daily moisturizer (but not too much) and of course a deep conditioner. Many of you know this last one for the simply fact for the longest time we have been going to the beauty supply store buying those little hot oil treatments of olive oil. So don't run out to the store run to your cabinet! Snatch your bottle out and pour 3-5 cap fulls of olive oil into a cup, heat it up in the microwave and you know the rest. Your hair and your pocket will LOVE YOU!
