Benefits of Olive oil for hair

Olive oil has been used for centuries to give hair lustre, body, smoothness, and durability. The primary chemical components of olive oil are oleic acid, palmitic acid, and squalene. Since they are all emollients, they all have softening qualities. In reality, many shampoos, conditioners, and pomades contain emollients manufactured in laboratories.

There is very little scientific evidence to back up the popular usage of olive oil in hair care. However, certain studies on olive oil's benefits show that it can have a sizable moisturising effect.

Olive oil for hair can smooth and strengthen hair by penetrating the hair shaft and holding onto moisture. Olive oil is said to make hair shiny, which may be due to its capacity to smooth the hair's outer cuticle.

Steps to use Olive oil for hair

You might need to do multiple tests until you find a timetable that works for you. If you've never used olive oil to treat your hair, here's how to start.

·         If you've never used olive oil on your hair before, start out with only one or two spoonfuls.

·         You should apply varied amounts of olive oil depending on where and how completely you wish to moisturise. Only a teaspoon will be plenty to cover the ends.

·         If you have long or really thick hair, you'll need at least 1/4 cup of olive oil to treat your entire head.

·         Massage the oil well into your hair for a while. You can also massage it into your dry scalp.

·         For the finest conditioning results, cover your hair with a shower cap and let the oil sit in for at least 15 minutes.

·         Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb before shampooing the oil out of it. This will then make combing and styling easier.

·         Give your hair a good wash and dry if you want to see results. If you applied too much, you might need to shampoo twice.
