Homemade Shea Butter and Olive Oil Hair & Scalp Recipe

Olive oil and shea butter make an excellent home remedy for your hair and scalp.

Shea butter is extracted from shea tree seeds and often used to make soap. According to the Vitamin Stuff website, shea butter is rich in vitamins and can be beneficial when used on your scalp and hair because it also moisturizes. Olive oil can be combined with shea butter to create a home scalp and hair treatment. The Olive Oil Source website states that olive oil is not only a great deep conditioner, but it also has the ability to control dandruff.
