    Default I just put some olive oil in my hair...

    I have red a lot of good things about EVOO in here, so I wanted to give it a try. Allready my hair feels a lot softer than when I coconut oil it (it gets the more "dry" feeling) It seems like the olive oil is more ritch and moisturizing in a way.

    What are your experience with EVOO?

    I agree.
    My hair doesn't always like coconut oil (the bleach parts hate it) but it LOVES EVOO. Especially if I keep it overnight.

    Have you tried rinsing your hair with warm water in the shower,massaging in some cone-free conditioner, covering for at least 10 minutes, rinse and condition again? Conditioner is far superior to shampoo when removing the oils from the hair.

    Lots of people do the conditioner massage/soak, followed by a shampoo and then condition. I use hair washing herbs to remove my oils. YMMV.

    Yes, I've tried this. It gets a lot more out but my hair overall feels like a grease ball.

    My hair loves EVOO too! It really helps my dry and crunchy ends. I've tried other oils, like coconut, jojoba, grapeseed etc. But they all seem too "light" and makes my hair feel dry and sticky (They are great for my skin though!). But EVOO gives my hair that soft, silky and rich feeling.
    And one more positive thing is that the more I oil my hair, the more oil it can handle! When I just started oiling, the oils would creep up my hairs and give me greasy scalp on the same day, and I could only use the tiniest drop to not feel lika a total grease ball. But now, I can oil my hair every/ every other day and still go 3-4 days between washes

    Evoo Is my hair's favourite! It gets rid of the crunchiness on my ends, but it's effects only last a few days even if I use coconut oil.

    It's something I like to do at least once a week.

    I like EVOO except for the scent. Coconut oil works just as well (for me), and I like the scent, so coconut oil it is.

    Yeah, I guess I have to do some reseach to see if there are any nice oils I could add to give it some more feminine smell. Right now I actually smell like a hint of burnt plastic....like the coconut better in that way. That smells heavenly (in my opinion, others find it sickening)

    I used EVOO yesterday and still haven't got it out yet. Might try CO today and see if that works. I haven't noticed a dramatic change but I'll see after I wash today. Hmmm...
