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.
