Olive Oil Recipe For Preserving Hair

After a long winter’s exposure to dry indoor heat, our hair needs some nourishing relief! Here’s the simple solution. This easy hair treatment will result in healthier, more manageable hair and a really clean, invigorated scalp. Olive oil nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair, while the couldn’t-be-easier process is both stress-reducing and health-promoting.

Here’s how.

INGREDIENTS (enough for 1 or 2 treatments, depending on the length and thickness of your hair)

½ cup olive oil
5 drops frankincense essential oil (others may be substituted, if you wish)
1 plastic bag that can fit over your hair

1. Pour olive oil into a jar with a lid, then add essential oil. Put lid on jar and shake well to disperse the essential oil. Let sit for 24 hours in a cool, dark place. Shake again before use.

2. Rinse hair with warm water. Warm 1 tablespoon of oil treatment in the palms of your hands. Using your fingertips (not nails), gently massage the oil into the scalp in a circular motion. Repeat until the entire scalp has been massaged. Rub the ends of your hair with the remaining oil.

3. Place a plastic bag over your hair, secure by tying or with a hair clip or clothespin, and allow the oil to remain for at least a half-hour.

4. Rinse well, then shampoo as usual.

  1. Sounds really interesting. I'm going to use this one right now. People should be aware that it's a must to protect your hair from heat and nourish it just as much as it's important to fight the various causes that can make it come out.

  2. That's impossible for your scalp to be ruined by olive oil. It's 100% natural.

  6. For many years, not only my hair was thinning out but also I started to have terrible brake out on my face at the age of 40. Last year I discover a simple remedy for my skin by rubbing a piece of fresh pineapple every evening and it worked. For my hair there has been improvement in the last 2 weeks by using a mixture of 1 tbsp of cummin & 1/2 c. of olive oil 3 times per week and rubbing my scalp gently with a few drops only and leaving it on for half hour before shampooing. I also massage my scalp every night with aloe vera gel (100% natural) before bed time and the same in the morning. I also drink 2 tbsp. of aloe vera juice per day. For all of you ladies instead of saw palmetto, please use a supplement called "Resveratrol". Good luck!
