1. Measure
If you’ve never experimented with olive oil as a hair product before, use just a tablespoon or two for your first treatment.
2. Massage
Massage the oil deeply into your hair for a few minutes. You can also massage it on to your scalp if you have dry scalp. For the most effective conditioning, wrap your hair in a shower cap and let the oil soak in for 15 minutes or more.
3. Rinse
Shampoo rigorously and dry your hair to see results. You might need to shampoo twice, depending on how much you’ve applied.
There’s nothing harmful about conditioning with olive oil. Unless your hair is dry enough to require a moisturizing treatment every day, use it once a week or less often for the best results.
