For thousands of years, people have claimed that olive oil adds shine, body, softness, and resilience to their hair. The primary chemical elements of olive oil are oleic acid, palmitic acid, and squalene. These are all emollients, which means they soften the skin. Indeed, many shampoos, conditioners, and pomades contain lab-created emollients.

There is little scientific evidence to back up olive oil's popularity in haircare. However, some research on the effect of olive oil shows that it can have a significant moisturizing effect.

By penetrating the hair shaft and retaining moisture, olive oil can soften and strengthen hair. The shine attributed to olive oil for hair Pakistan may be due to the oil smoothing the hair's outer cuticle. You may need to conduct some experiments before you find a routine that works for you. Here's how to use olive oil to condition your hair if you've never done so.

Measure

If you've never used olive oil as a hair product before, start with just a tablespoon or two for your first treatment.

The amount of olive oil you should use is determined by how deeply you want to moisturise and where you want to moisturise. A tablespoon will suffice for the ends.

Massage

For a few minutes, massage the oil deeply into your hair. If you have a dry scalp, you can also massage it into it.

Wrap your hair in a shower cap and leave the oil in for 15 minutes or more for the most effective conditioning.

Rinse

Before shampooing the oil out of your hair, comb it with a wide-toothed comb. This will make combing and styling easier later on.

To see results, shampoo and dry your hair thoroughly. Depending on how much shampoo you've used, you may need to shampoo twice.
