Comb your hair out dry until there are no tangles and start to saturate it with olive oil. Adding a little olive oil each time so that your hair is covered, but not dripping. Use a wide toothed comb to spread the olive oil from your roots to your ends. After hair is completely blanketed with olive oil, twist and put into a bun.

Wet a hand towel with water and place in microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove wet hand towel and it should be steaming. Be careful before touching as it can be too hot. Once it is cool enough to touch but still steaming, wrap the towel tightly around your hair and secure over your head.

Keep your hair under the towel for 10-30 minutes depending on how deeply you need to condition your hair. After your treatment, rinse and style as usual. Your hair should look and feel a lot softer, shinier and overall, more beautiful.

tried this today, let my hair air dry after, and then just blow dryed it for about 2 minutes to get the rest of the wetness out. My hair is DEFINATLY softer and shinier, it is currently a light brown, it was extremly damaged due to bleaching, so it definatly made a difference. When I tried to straighten it though, it did appear to be oiler closer to my roots, but I just put some baby powder on my roots and fixed that :) but overall definatly good! I didnt apply directly to my roots because I had read somewhere that it can make them extremely oily, I applied about 1-2 inches away from root. Good experience, will definatly do again!

will have to try it twice a week in my strawy hair before i can make decision..i sometimes use clear henna(with no stain)..it also works like a bomb!ps..dont believe what the hairdressers tell you!i used pigment free henna over dyed hair, and it made the colour more intense..but dont use coppr/red/blonde as that will effect the colour..even when your colour need a boost,go for clear henna!

If I had any hair I'd treat it with olive oil. Does a goatee count? -
