Olive oil seals in moisture, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair, it also helps with dry, itchy scalp and kills head lice.

Olive oil is the only vegetable oil that can be consumed as it is - freshly pressed from the fruit. It has a high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidative substances.
