Conditions and strengthens hair

Extra-virgin Olive Oil is an excellent natural conditioner for dry and coarse hair. It conditions dry hair, prevents water loss, adds shine, and makes it smooth and lustrous. It also makes the hair soft, thanks to the emollient properties of oleic acid, palmitic acid, and squalane in the oil. Olive Oil strengthens the hair by penetrating the hair shaft, thereby preventing split-ends and breakage. For a deep conditioning treatment, massage it to your scalp and hair and leave it for a few hours before washing it off. To use it as a leave-in conditioner, rub a few drops in your palm and then run your hands through damp or towel-dried hair.

Native to the Mediterranian region, olives are known to have been cultivated around 6000 years ago and have been an essential part of life, cuisine, culture, art, and trade for thousands of years. The oil was first pressed and used by ancient Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians. The Romans developed the screw press method of oil extraction from olives, which is still used today.

In ancient Greece, the olive and its oil enjoyed massive importance and featured on coins and tombs as a representation of immortality. Greek mythology states that the Greeks chose Goddess Athena’s gift of an olive tree over Poseidon’s saltwater spring and used it in their spiritual and religious practices and cosmetic, culinary, and health benefits. Olive Oil was very well regarded for its medicinal and cosmetic properties, and Holmer, the Greek poet in the Iliad, called the Olive Oil 'Liquid Gold' and Hippocrates called it ‘the great healer’. In the 6th and 7th century BC, cutting down olive trees was punishable by death according to Solon’s Greek laws (Solon is today's Athens). Today, Olive Oil finds similar applications in cosmetics, culinary, and wellness, just as our ancestors did.

Olive oil offers excellent hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties. It moisturizes the skin, soothes irritated skin, softens nail cuticles, protects skin cells against environmental damage, prevents premature aging, and acts as a natural make-up remover. Olive Oil protects keratin and makes the hair strong & silky. It prevents hair fall by reducing sebum build-up that impedes the formation of new hair follicles.

Among the several grades of Olive Oil in the market, extra-virgin and cold-pressed Olive Oil is the most beneficial variety as it retains the highest amount of beneficial bioactive compounds of olives such as polyphenols, squalene, and vitamins. The presence of these delicate bioactive compounds gets dramatically reduced if the oil is heat-treated or refined.
