I use olive oil on my hair occasionally, but I just use a smaller amount since it does have a thick consistency and tends to not come out very easily.

I would wash your hair until the excess oil comes out.  About the honey, I've never tried that so I can't comment, but I would try to get as much of the oil out as possible by multiple washings, and next time perhaps use less oil, or maybe use Jojoba oil instead, which is a lighter oil (JMHO).

Does olive oil and honey work?  I haven't tried it and am interested in knowing.  The hot oil treatments they sell in the store aren't really much oil (if any), they are water based.  So using real oil is going to be a lot harder to get out.  I wonder if it's really worth it because you need so much shampoo to remove it that you probably aren't going to be left with much moisture on your hair.  If you do find your hair in better condition though, let us know!  Its always good to try things.

You may want to try just using a super small amount of oil after washing and from the ears down, so it never gets washed out all the way.  Most who oil their hair dry (after washing, so it stays in the hair) use a tiny amount of oil so the hair doesn't even look greasy afterwards.  (Thats one reason I suggest jojoba, it works well for this, I don't know what sort of "disappearing and absorbing" factor olive has).
