Olive oil and the black hair

If you take a look around the black hair care aisle, you will find plenty of conditioners (daily or leave in) that boast that it's made with olive oil. Walk a little further and you will see some box perms advertised this way as well. So if you're anything like me, you have to wonder, if every product boasts its great need for great hair, why not use it on your own. Olive oil is one of the many staple products that many naturalistas use in their dailly regimen. Olive oil has so many benefits for the hair and scalp that it can be used for your pre-poo, used to treat scalp irritation and dandruf, added to your own butter or used as a conditioner. It's the same olive oil that is sitting in your kitchen cabinet. Rub a little bit of olive oil in your hand and massage it throughout your hair for a quick frizz reducer and shiny tresses. If you want to use it as a deep conditioner, place a generous amount of the oil in your hair and sit under the dryer. With this method, I would recommend spritzing the hair with a little water, detangle, and add the oil from the scalp to the end of the hair. Sit under the dryer, rinse and you will be amazed at the softness of your hair(WATCH OUT NOW!!!)
Another benefit to using olive oil is that it has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which aid in the healing of scalp issues associated with dermatitis. Olive oil is also best for the treatment of dandruff and dry scalp
