According to my cousin, using 'cooking oil' on the hair is weird... to me it's always been perfectly logical.
olive oil makes the hair sooo manageable and soft, plus it promotes amazingly fast hair growth and makes each strand super strong.
my reason for loving it, is its very cheap and makes transitional hair look great, you may start loving your short hair!
- i massage the oil into my hair and scalp every night, then wrap up in a silk or satin scarf before i go to bed
- for a hot oil treatment, olive oil is perfect so once a week i wash my hair thouroghly, saturate my hair with the oil, and wrap in a plastic cap before the oil cools. the results are ashtonishing.
- styling the hair with olive oil works also.... its a natural curl enhancer

OLIVE OIL HAIR CONDITIONER with honey and rosemary
honey for shine and olive oil for moisture -- enhanced with essential oil of rosemary to stimulate hair growth.
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup warmed olive oil (2 tablespoons for normal to oily hair)
4 drops essential oil of rosemary
1 teaspoon of xanthan gum (available in health food stores)
Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour into a clean plastic bottle with a snug-fitting cap. To use, apply a small amount to your slightly dampened hair. Massage your scalp and work the conditioner through your hair until it is completely and evenly distributed. Next, cover your hair with a warm towel (your microwave or dryer can heat it up) or shower cap; leave the conditioner in place on to nourish and condition for 30 minutes. Remove the towel or shower cap; shampoo lightly and rinse with cool water. Dry as normal and enjoy shinier, softer and healthier hair the natural way.
