Our extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) isn't just a kitchen staple; it's a versatile treatment for your hair too! Here are the fantastic benefits and ways to incorporate EVOO into your hair care routine.

The EVOO Advantage for Your Hair

Deep Conditioning: Extra virgin olive oil is a natural emollient, rich in healthy fats and antioxidants. It penetrates the hair shaft, providing deep hydration and repairing damaged hair. For a nourishing hair mask, warm a few tablespoons of EVOO and apply it to your hair, leaving it on for 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

Split End Savior: Tired of pesky split ends? EVOO can help. Apply a small amount to your split ends to temporarily seal and smoothen them. Regular use can help prevent new split ends from forming.

Shine Booster: EVOO adds a brilliant shine to your hair, making it look healthier and more vibrant. A few drops can go a long way in enhancing your hair's natural luster.

Frizz Fighter: Say goodbye to frizz with EVOO! Rub a small amount between your palms and apply it to the ends of your hair to tame unruly locks.

Scalp Health: A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful hair. Massaging EVOO into your scalp can help alleviate dryness, flakiness, and itching. It also promotes healthy hair growth.

Strengthening Power: EVOO contains vitamins E and A, which contribute to hair strength and resilience. It can help protect your hair from the damaging effects of heat styling and environmental factors.

Using EVOO in Your Hair Care Routine

Hot Oil Treatment: Warm a small amount of EVOO and apply it to your hair, concentrating on the ends and dry areas. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it for 30 minutes before shampooing and conditioning as usual. Pro tip: You may need to double shampoo to remove all oil from your hair. 

DIY Hair Masks: Combine EVOO with ingredients like honey, egg, or avocado for a custom hair mask that caters to your hair's unique needs.

Leave-In Conditioner: Mix a few drops of EVOO with water in a spray bottle and spritz it on your hair before styling. It acts as a natural conditioner and detangler.

Overnight Treatment: For an intensive treatment, apply EVOO to your hair before bedtime, covering it with a shower cap or a silk scarf to avoid staining your pillowcase. Wash it out in the morning for super-soft and nourished locks.
