Does olive oil really help....?

Question

Im wondering does putting olive oil on your scalp and ends help? And if so how? How long do you leave it in? Do you then get in the shower and do the normal routine of shampoo and conditioner? What else can I put in my hair to make it softer and shiny?

Answer 1

A good shampoo and conditioner.

Chi Shampoo and Treatment, use the Chi Shine Infusion in wet hair, and your hair will be super shiny! Don't use anything from the drug/retail store because they will destroy your hair with all the alcohol in them.

Edit: Don't use Biolage/Matrix (SleekLook also), the also have a lot of alcohol in them, check the back of the bottle.

Answer 2

There are lots of shampoo's with eggs and even avocado...shop around...

Answer 3

Not for me...it felt gross and was really hard to get out. Even after I washed my hair three times, I had to go to school the next day with oily-looking hair because it wouldn't come out. But then again, I'm a girl and have pretty long hair, so it might be ok for you.

The best is coconut oil.  It is available at health food stores. Shampoo your hair as usual then add coconut oil (approx. 2 tablespoons - depending on how much hair you have) and comb it through.  Leave it in for several hours.  Also, you can put a plastic food storage bag over the top of your head to retain heat  and even blow dry it on low.  Finish with a light shampoo.  It will not be greasy at all.
