Product Information

There are many types of olive oils available on the market. Two of the more popular ones include extra virgin and pure olive oil. It is always advised that you use virgin oil as it has potent properties and helps enhance hair luster and growth.

When it comes to your hair, you’ll also want to use olive oil in moderation—think once a week or so, about the same frequency you’d use for a hair mask or deep conditioner. “Overuse of the product can lead to build up as well as not washing it out all the way,” says Ellis. “If you use too much, it can leave a slip on the hair that makes your hair feel weighed down and hard to style.” Finally, Dr. Marcus says, "Olive oil combines well with honey and beeswax, and has even been shown to improve the redness, scaling, and itching of the scalp frequently encountered in psoriasis when applied in this combination." This type of oil is extracted from the fruit of the olive tree, and it’s well-known for its beneficial properties. If you’ve noticed your hair looks a little limp, dry or heat damaged, using an olive oil treatment could help give it a new lease of life. Heavily processed hair — like hair that’s been treated with relaxers, perms, or bleach — especially benefit from extra moisture.

While it's tempting to opt for cheaper products, Dr. Marcus advises against skimping on quality when it comes to your hair products—especially when they contain olive oil.

Apply to dry hair and massage in. As water repels oil, you’ll want to use olive oil on your hair when it’s dry. Massage it in with your fingertips for a few minutes and then put your hair in a shower cap for at least 15 minutes so the oil can penetrate your follicles.

Olive oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, and has anti-bacterial properties. This helps to stimulate your hair follicles and potentially boost hair growth. Wondering where those hydrating properties come from and just how exactly they serve the scalp and hair? “Olive oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, so it can be nourishing to the scalp,” says dermatologist Audrey Kunin, MD, the founder of DERMAdoctor Skincare. “The hair itself is composed of dead keratin, so the olive oil helps coat the hair and create softness and shine.” If you’d rather avoid the mess of a home hair treatment, consider a shampoo, conditioner, or hair mask infused with olive oil.
