Our hair is the most beautiful asset that we have and without a doubt, every one of us likes bouncy, frizz-free hair. But when it comes to hair care, it definitely seems to be a really big challenge. However, this problem can be solved to a major extent with the use of a magic ingredient, which we can easily find in our homes. This magic ingredient is none other than Olive oil. Olive oil is being used by people for ages for cooking and many other things. Surprisingly, using olive oil for hair can add shine to it and moisturize it, making it voluminous and attractive.

Our hair has to go through a lot. Be it harsh weather, pollution, dust, dandruff and what not! All these things make it extremely difficult for our hair to survive and grow. And as a result, it loses its moisture and shine. The major chemical constituents of olive oil are oleic acid, palmitic acid, and squalene. All these substances are known to make the hair soft.  After using shampoo, people generally use conditioners, which claim to lock the moisture of the hair. But sadly, it just increases the exposure of our hair to more and more chemicals. On the other hand, olive oil can act as a very nice conditioner while providing several other benefits.

But by providing proper nourishment and care, we can prevent the damage. Using olive oil for hair, makes it soft and smooth till the ends.

3. A Cure For Dandruff

A major reason for dandruff is dryness in scalp. With regular massage of our scalp with olive oil, we can easily protect our scalp from dandruff and prevent its re-occurrence. Olive oil has substances that are known for their softening abilities and thus provide the exact amount of moisture that our scalp needs and hence, prevents dryness and dandruff.

4. An Enemy To The Split Ends

Split ends, once again, are signs of damaged hair. It usually happens that, our hair doesn’t get the proper nourishment that it requires. As a result, the ends become prone to damage and split ends occur.  Applying olive oil to the damaged ends helps them recover and prevents further breaking and damage.

Olive oil is considered to be very good for growth of our hair.  A regular massage helps increase the blood circulation in our scalp and thus helps our hair to grow better.
