How to Use Olive Oil to Promote Hair Growth
Olive oil can be used in a number of beauty treatments. It can be used to shave your legs, to moisturize your body and to treat dry facial skin. Olive oil is also believed to be beneficial to hair. Not only does it add moisture to drying hair, but it can also help promote hair growth. It is not actually the olive oil that makes hair grow, but it's the way the olive oil is used. Does this Spark an idea?
