OLIVE OIL??

This is how I use olive oil: I wait till I'm about to go to bed, comb out my hair really well, put my bottle of olive oil in a cup of hot water for a few minutes to warm it, I rub just enough through my hair to make it slippery feeling, then I either put my hair in a braid or under a sleeping cap and sleep with the olive oil still on it. I wash it out the next morning in my shower (I almost always shampoo twice).Good luck!PS- You can add a few drops of any essential oil to the olive oil if you want to give it a more pleasent smell!

I just tried olive oil for the first time this evening. I warmed it slightly in the microwave, then slathered in on and covered my hair with a plastic cap and a towel to keep the heat in. I left it on for 30 minutes, then rinsed with warm water (I've heard hot water will set the oil) and then shampooed. I let it dry naturally and I can't believe how soft it is! My hair was really dry and over-processed. So I will definitely do this again.
