Repair Your Hair with Olive Oil - How To More Natural Therapies Solutions
Adapted from The Herbal Home Spa by Greta Breedlove (Storey Books, 1998).
After a long winter's exposure to dry indoor heat, our hair needs some nourishing relief! Here's the simple solution. This easy hair treatment will result in healthier, more manageable hair and a really clean, invigorated scalp. Olive oil nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair, while the couldn't-be-easier process is both stress-reducing and health-promoting.
Here's how.
Simple Solution:

INGREDIENTS (enough for 1 or 2 treatments, depending on the length and thickness of your hair)
½ cup olive oil
5 drops frankincense essential oil (others may be substituted, if you wish)
1 plastic bag that can fit over your hair.
1. Pour olive oil into a jar with a lid, then add essential oil. Put lid on jar and shake well to disperse the essential oil. Let sit for 24 hours in a cool, dark place. Shake again before use.
2. Rinse hair with warm water. Warm 1 tablespoon of oil treatment in the palms of your hands. Using your fingertips (not nails), gently massage the oil into the scalp in a circular motion. Repeat until the entire scalp has been massaged. Rub the ends of your hair with the remaining oil.
3. Place a plastic bag over your hair, secure by tying or with a hair clip or clothespin, and allow the oil to remain for at least ½ hour.
4. Rinse well, then shampoo as usual.

Any kind of oil gets rid of dandruff your scalp is dry keep it moisturized
never heard of using e.v.o.o for dandruff
I dont know, but I bet if you tried it, it would take a few days to get it out of your hair. I am sure there are better remedies out there.
no, if you study up on this subject you will find out that dandriff is caused by microscopic mites, which is the reason you scalp itches so much. most shampoo's with zinc can help with the problem but most people will more than likely end up under the care of a doctor.
Great for cooking but hair? It could help with dry scalp, but i would suggest sticking with the blue shampoo, head and shoulders ect. and if its too bad your family doctor can help you out with a medicated shampoo.
my grandmother used to treat cradle crap in my baby's hair with extra virgin olive oil so i guess it would probably work.

There are actually a few great shampoos and conditioners made from olive oil. My salon carries one by Regis simply called 'Olive Oil' and it is absolutely wonderful. Smells fabulous too. Looks kind of nasty, as it is bright green, but don't let that fool you, it is probably the best shampoo & conditioner I have ever discovered, you will love it.
