Olive oil , also known as Olea europaea, is considered a miracle cure for external and internal use. Olive oil is made from the fruit of the olive tree. It contains various components that affect human health.

Olive oil is a healthy source of oil and an important source of polyphenols. This has many different effects on the body.

The ancient Egyptians used olive oil for hair care. Olive oil helps restore shine to dry hair. It wraps around the hair like a protective film and ensures that moisture is retained.

Olive oil in hair care

The positive properties of olive oil in hair care are as follows:

  • Helps prevent split ends

  • Olive oil supports the hair to protect it from damage. It is rich in antioxidants, omega-6 fatty acids and thus helps to stimulate hair growth and prevent breakage. Hair damaged by free radicals is repaired with the use of olive oil.

  • Perfect for dry, straw-like hair

  • Olive oil is a perfect moisturizer and prevents dryness. It gives the hair all the nutrients it needs to nourish your hair

  • Supports the scalp to relieve itching and prevent dandruff

  • The home remedy for itchy scalp is known to be olive oil. It has antibacterial and antifungal ingredients and so soothes the scalp due to its moisturizing effect. It also reduces dandruff and cleans clogged hair follicles. These are shown as the reason for hair loss.

  • Reducing DHT production

  • One of the main causes of hair loss is the production of dihydrotestosterone. This hormone leads to a weakening of the hair. The hair follicles are also attacked. Olive oil helps counteract this and promote healthy hair growth.

    NOTE!
    Olive oil prevents split ends, dandruff, itching and dry hair. It is rich in antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids

    The benefits of olive oil on hair health

    Olive oil contains a monounsaturated fatty acid: oleic acid. Scientifically, it has numerous health benefits.

    Olive oil against dandruff

    Olive oil can help against dandruff. It should be noted that the application for dry dandruff is different than for greasy dandruff.

    Olive oil helps a lot with finely trickling dandruff on a dry scalp. You can massage a few drops of the oil onto the scalp and leave it on overnight. Then wash your hair as usual. You should not use olive oil on greasy dandruff as it has no benefit and is more likely to clog the sebum than help. In this case, you can use special shampoos that have a supportive effect.

    Olive oil against hair loss

    Olive oil is also said to help with brittle hair fibers and hair loss. This is mainly due to the vitamin E it contains. Vitamin E is one of the fat-soluble vitamins and is responsible for the growth of hair and skin cells, among other things. It also improves blood circulation in the scalp. Whether an oil can prevent or stop hair loss depends on many different factors. After all, there are many triggers for hair loss. The most well-known are:

    • Genetic susceptibility
    • hormone fluctuations
    • an overactive or underactive thyroid
    • iron deficiency
    • stress
    • vitamin deficiency

    If the hair loss is actually due to a lack of certain nutrients, then it makes sense to use olive oil on the hair. You can specifically counteract this with hair treatments. The effect occurs particularly quickly when the oil is mixed with honey, eggs or bananas. These add to the effect and, when mixed, result in an olive oil cream that is easy to massage into the hair.

    Olive oil for dry scalp

    External factors such as wind, sun, salt water, heating air, chemical hair care products, blow-drying that is too hot, among other things, are the causes of a dry scalp.

    Of course, this also affects the hair, it becomes brittle and the hairstyle no longer wants to be shaped.

    Olive oil can be included in the treatment routine to keep the hair sufficiently moisturized.

    Most importantly, you treat a dry scalp appropriately, otherwise it will encourage dandruff, which can be just as uncomfortable as itching.

    Scalp treatment with olive oil

    Valuable olive oil contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, especially vitamins A and E. This oil has not only proven itself in the kitchen in two respects, but has also been known as a panacea for centuries. The oil has a positive effect on skin problems or a dry scalp in particular and restores the barrier function.

    NOTE!
    Olive oil can be used for dandruff, hair loss and dry scalp. The causes should always be clarified by a doctor!

    How is olive oil applied to hair?

    Apply pure olive oil

    Olive oil can also be used pure without additional admixtures. For tip care, you can apply it to the ends of your hair, leave it in and then wash it out again. To care for the scalp, massage the oil into the scalp, leave it on and wash it off with shampoo. You should note that it may not be enough to wash the hair only once with shampoo to wash out the residue. Also when caring for the hair lengths, let the miracle oil work in and then wash it out as usual.

    conditioner

    Olive oil can be used excellently as a hair care product. You can use it as a hair treatment and then wash it out thoroughly. You can mix it with ready-made hair care products and apply it on the hair. Users reported less split ends and more resilient hair.

    You can also add olive oil to a homemade hair conditioner. For example in a hair treatment made from eggs, beer, lemon and olive oil or in other oils and conditioners such as coconut oil, almond oil etc. This combination makes the hair shiny and nourishes it. You can also leave the conditioner on overnight for better results.

    hair mask

    The oil can also be used as a moisturizing mask to help open the scalp's sebaceous glands. Massage the olive oil onto the scalp, leave it on and then wash it off with shampoo. You can also mix the oil with coconut oil to make it even more effective.

    NOTE!
    Olive oil can be applied to your hair as a hair treatment, hair mask or pure.
