Mask with olive oil: the right recipe for hair growth

The benefits of "liquid gold" for women's health was "studied" back in the Middle Ages. Ladies first squeezed the fruits of an evergreen tree, and then used the extract inside, used to treat skin and hair. Women moistened combs in olive extract and combed curls. After this procedure, the hair shone, became thicker.

Modern beauties still use the experience of their ancestors: the simplest method of application is to apply olive oil to your hair at night. Just pour the contents in your palms and spread on the curls. Cover your head with cellophane and then a cloth. Wash your hair in the morning as usual.

The composition of the product and how it affects the hairstyle

Is olive oil good or bad? The beneficial properties of the oil of evergreen fruit can be estimated based on the chemical composition of the product. It contains the largest amount (compared to other oils) of fatty acids: oleic, linolenic and others. Such acids are responsible for immune defense, are characterized by anti-inflammatory properties and even help reduce the risk of cancer.

Among other important substances in the composition can be called phytosterols - they give strands firmness and elasticity, “resist” dandruff and even save from baldness.
And finally, E - the “vitamin of youth” is irreplaceable; its role in strengthening and stimulating hair growth with a natural shine is hard to overestimate.

The listed substances give olive oil the ability to comprehensively improve the condition of the hair. So, the product:

• nourishes;
• moisturizes;
• restores;
• protects from the negative impact of weather factors;
• protects from thermal and chemical damage (hair dryer, ironing, dyeing);
• enhances growth.

Cosmetic, essential, edible: which olive oil is suitable for hair

Vegetable olive oil is culinary, cosmetic and essential. Cosmetic and essential are often used for the face. And the one that is sold at grocery stores is for hair, since the expense is greater. In this case, olive oil is represented by two options - refined and unrefined. Which is suitable for treating strands?

• Refined. Typically, a refined label is present on a bottle of refined oil. Oil undergoes various degrees of purification, is exposed to high temperatures, because the effect of nutrients in it is an order of magnitude lower than in unrefined "counterpart".The oil is almost odorless, has a neutral taste with a slight smell of olive, so it is more suitable for food than for restoring hair.
• Unrefined. On the bottle with such a product you will see the inscription virgin or extra-virgin. This means: the oil has not undergone chemical treatment, it is more than 80% composed of olive extract. In it, all the useful properties of the fruits of an evergreen tree are maximally preserved.
