Our hair becomes damaged, dry, and ultimately unhealthy when we dye it, blow-dry it, or expose it to high heat with curling irons and straighteners. Factors like dieting, stress, illness, medications, hormonal changes, and vitamin/mineral deficiencies also affect hair health.
A non-chemical, organic olive oil based hair care regimen helps mitigate all these effects. With a regular application of the olive oil treatment recipe I'm going to provide, you can achieve healthy, shiny, and well-maintained hair. The key features of this hair treatment are its completely natural composition, lack of chemicals, and ease of preparation with ingredients found in your kitchen.
How to Perform Olive Oil Hair Care?
Using olive oil for hair care isn't new information. It has been known for centuries that olive oil provides shine, softness, and volume to hair and is even used to strengthen it.
Olive oil contains substances such as oleic acid, palmitic acid, and squalene.
These substances help keep the hair soft and nourished.

We put olive oil into a small glass jar.
Then, we add the rosemary, lavender, and lemon balm essential oils, which are very beneficial for hair, and shake to mix. By adding these essential oils, we enhance the effect of olive oil, which is very beneficial for hair. Since essential oils are highly concentrated, olive oil serves as the carrier oil in this mixture. Store your homemade olive oil hair care blend in an environment that doesn't exceed 20 degrees Celsius. The olive oil hair care mixture you've created should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Rosemary oil is perfect for thinning hair. It's effective in promoting hair growth and thickening hair, with studies showing it's even beneficial in treating alopecia.
• Lavender oil prevents hair dryness due to its antimicrobial properties, relieves stress, and helps hair grow.
• Lemon balm oil is good for the scalp and fights dandruff.
Application of Olive Oil Hair Care
Apply the olive oil mixture we prepared to the entire hair, starting from the roots. Make sure it penetrates the entire hair by massaging. Then wrap your hair with a warm towel.
Leave it like this for 30-40 minutes.
Then wash your hair starting from the roots with your own shampoo until you're sure all excess oil is gone, then rinse.
