Olive Oil For Hair : Strong & Long hair
A staple in the Mediterranean diet and culture, olive oil is said to be one of the healthiest fats on earth. Made from pressing the fruits of the olive tree, it is also an excellent emollient for our skin and hair.
The oil contains essential fatty acids, triglycerides, tocopherols, carotenoids, squalene, and various phenolic compounds that make it a superfood for your hair. You can use olive oil for hair growth, deep conditioning, and making your hair more manageable.
Virgin Olive Oil is made by pressing the olives to extract the oil. In the extraction procedure, there is no use of heat or chemicals. The oil which is extracted is entirely pure and unrefined. Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil contains antioxidants and polyphenols in high amounts that benefit our overall health and wellness.

Can Olive Oil Help Improve Hair Growth?
Olive oil is a true superfood for hair. It penetrates easily into our scalp and supplies it with various vitamins, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds to keep it well-nourished.
Since the oil is abundant in antioxidants such as tocopherols, carotenoids, and phytosterols, it can scavenge free radicals that attack healthy cells and cause oxidative stress.
A study on mice also found that a polyphenol called oleuropein present in olives can induce the anagen phase of hair growth when applied topically. So olive oil can indeed support the hair growth process by keeping your scalp and hair follicles nourished and preventing damage.
How Is Olive Used To Stop Hair Fall & Make It Strong
Olive oil is often used in conditioners, hair serums, and shampoos. But the best way to use this oil for hair growth and making your hair stronger and healthier is to apply it directly on your scalp as hair oil.
The oil moisturizes your hair and scalp which reduces hair fall during the hair wash process. The quantity to be used depends on your hair density and length. After applying the oil make sure to gently massage the scalp for a few minutes to boost blood circulation.
You can also add olive oil to your diet to nourish your hair follicles internally.
