Olive Oil Benefits for Hair
The fatty acids and nutrients in olive oil offer a multitude of benefits:
Seals in Moisture - Olive oil coats strands to prevent moisture escaping into dry air, retaining hydration.
Smooths Cuticles - Applying before washing or styling forms a smooth layer protecting from friction.
Shields from Damage - Antioxidants like vitamins E and K protect hair from UV and free radical damage.
Reduces Dandruff - Anti-inflammatory properties can calm flaking and irritation.
Boosts Shine - A small amount makes hair luminous.
Precautions When Using Olive Oil
While olive oil can enhance hair, caution is advised:
Could Worsen Dandruff - Oil may potentially feed yeast causing flakes. Avoid direct scalp application.
May Clog Pores - Keep olive oil off face and shoulders to prevent breakouts.
Don't Use Before Heat Styling - Low burning point can damage hair when using hot tools.
