What is the best way to use olive oil in my hair?

My hair is very dry and I sometimes add a little olive oil to my hands and rub it in, which helps a bit, but when I add it to the rinse water (after washing my hair) I always add either too much, (makes my hair lank) or too little (makes no difference).

Put half a cup of olive oil into an empty plastic bottle and let the bottle sit in a mug or bowl of hot water for about 90 seconds till the oil in the bottle warms up to body temperature.





Rub the oil in gently, going from root to tip and concentrating on the ends of the hair, always smooth it DOWNWARDS to smooth the cuticles of the hair in the right direction to maximise shine.





When the oil is evenly distributed throughout your hair then wrap a warm towel around your head like a turban and go do something else for about 35 minutes.





Rinse and shampoo your hair with a very MILD shampoo, or dilute your usual shampoo with half water then rinse and condition as usual.





If you do this once a week, your hair will remain soft and shiny. My sister is a hairdresser and this is the treatment that she recommends to her clients.





It's a really deep conditioning treatment and well worth the time. If you only do it about once a week it gives a mirror-like shine to the hair and if it seems too lank, then use slightly less oil each time until you get it right. It works wonders!What is the best way to use olive oil in my hair?
you should put olive oil not directly at the roots but a little lower %26amp; especialy at the tips or you can just put it on the tips %26amp; sleep with it on then wen you wake up wash it out %26amp; its super shiny It works really good on my hair especially becaus i straighten it alot:) Report Abuse

Place a few tablespoons (depending on length) in hot water and massage into hair once warm. Wrap in a towel, and let it sit for 10 miniutes or so. Shampoo twice to get it all out and condition as usual.
Use the olive oil shampoo and conditioner from Regis.
I would put it in the spry bottle and just spray it on evenly!
I think your best bet is to get a really good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, like Redkin Allsoft.





Also, a leave in conditioner or deep conditioner will add moisture as well.








Putting olive oil in your hair is not going to fix the problem... only kind of cover it up. It's actually more likely to just make your hair look dirty or oily.
right before bed, put olive oil (or coconut oil) into the roots and throughout your hair, comb it out to make it even and braid your hair


when you wake up in the morning wash it out, your probably gonnna need to shampoo twice to get it all out and not make it look greasy and smell like oil





keep doing this maybe one to two times a week and youll notice your scalp will be less dry and you hair will be more shiny and definitly more healthier
Use it before you actually wash your hair, not after.
Well.... wat i know (and sometimes do) is keep plenty of olive hair oil on my hair for like a couple of hours (like a hair mask, as a part of damage repair ';program'; for dry hair) then i wash my hair, and then as they are dried, apply a little of some anti-frizz hair cream (for dry hair). Also a good tip is not to straighten your hair (with an iron) right after you dry them with a hairdrier.





If you want your hair to shine, you gotta use some dry hair masks, and after your hair is blow dried you apply some snake hair oil (which is very cheap) and that's how you get the shine. By the way, not only does the snake hair oil give good shine, it also prevents ends from splitting up, three drops is usually all what it takes, and rubbed into the ends, it does not leave your hair looking oily ----it looks all natural.





Good luck!
i woiuldn't recomend oil... Try a good conditioner and jus use lots. But for olive oil jus a dab the size of a dime for sholder length hair rub in hands first then run hands through hair. (dont press down on top of head completely or all oil will rub off in one spot and do nothing) rub the oil till it covers your hands then bend over so hair is hanging and jus go thro hair.


Good luck
Get out and buy yourself some olives. Extra virgin are the very best but of course the most expensive. When you bring them home carefully pit them over aluminum foil as to not lose much of the oil. Then just take as many as you think you will need (foil and all), get into the shower and simply squeeze to your hearts content!
Well, to make it work you have to leave the olive on your hair for 20-25 min and then wash it .........do it every day and then you will see the difference ........


-luck!
I thought olive oil was for getting rid of lice?
Have you tried the vinegar treatment? When you wash your hair rinse out the soap, you put conditioner. When you put conditioner in your hair add a little vinegar (apple cider works best) and let it sit in there for about 3 to 5 minutes and rinse it out. This will even out the chemicals in your scalp and soften your hair and reduce detox the chemicals from medication in your body to reduce that from harming your hair. Any chemical you put in your hair make sure its ALCOHOL FREE. That will dry out your hair as well. Don't use the vinegar in your hair for more than 2 times a month or it will dry out your hair more. As anything else will. This remedy also works great for when you dye your hair as well. It keeps the color longer and it brings out the color making it look more vibrant.


Good Luck
i used a lot of olive oil, soaking my hair in it and rubbing it down to the tips. leaving it for a while (maybe 20 minutes) and then continue to shampoo and condition as usual. this should make your hair nice and soft. if you feel your hair might become greasy make sure you wash all the oil out with a lot of shampoo.
i would get the whole bottle and dump it on and rub it in real good , the affects are amazing.. it made my hair so shiny and everyone complimented me at school ..
Shave ur hair off!!!!
