9 Easy Olive Oil Hair Mask Recipes

Olive oil is an easy and natural way to condition and strengthen your hair. Here are 9 easy olive oil hair mask recipes to add to your weekly routine.

Why is Olive Oil Great for your Hair?

Olive oil is an emollient that helps moisturize and condition hair. It is especially helpful for damaged, brittle, or dry hair. This can help reduce breakage in the hair, while increasing shine and softness. It may even help stimulate hair growth and help control dandruff (source).

As olive oil is rich and dense, these hair treatments are ideal for those with thicker, drier, and coarse hair. Those with thin, fine, or oily hair will want to use these treatments sparingly.
