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 can be applied to dampened ends to seal in moisture as an effective way to prevent split ends. Mix olive oil with your favorite conditioner, and use it as a deep conditioning treatment.
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.
