    Tips to hydrate dry scalp with olive oil

    What's the story

    Turns out, that bottle of olive oil in your kitchen isn't just for sauteing veggies. It's also a secret (or not so secret, now!) weapon for moisturizing your dry scalp.

    Packed with vitamins E and K, and antioxidants, olive oil can work wonders to soothe and hydrate a dry, itchy scalp.

    Read on to learn how to use olive oil to banish dryness and give your scalp some much-needed TLC.

    Application

    The basics of application

    Firstly, heat up two to three tablespoons of olive oil in the microwave or on the stove. Make sure it's warm to the touch but not hot.

    Apply the warm oil to your scalp. Massage it in with your fingertips using circular motions. This helps stimulate blood flow and ensures the oil gets deep into your scalp.

    Enhancement

    Enhancing with essential oils

    To supercharge the treatment, add a couple of drops of essential oils like lavender or tea tree to the olive oil before massaging it into your scalp.

    Lavender oil is known for its soothing properties, helping to alleviate itchiness and irritation.

    Meanwhile, tea tree oil has antifungal benefits, which means it's great for fighting off dandruff and improving the overall health of your scalp by tackling both dryness and flakiness.

    Overnight

    Overnight treatment option

    For intense dryness, consider an overnight treatment for maximum benefit.

    After massaging in the olive oil (with or without essential oils), wrap your hair in a shower cap or towel and let it sit overnight.

    In the morning, thoroughly wash your hair with a gentle shampoo to eliminate the oil.

    This method ensures deep nourishment.

    Consistency

    Regularity is key

    By making this treatment a regular part of your routine (once or twice a week), you can significantly improve scalp hydration over time.

    Remember, consistency is key! Natural remedies take time to work their magic.

    You can adjust the frequency based on how your scalp reacts; some might benefit from more frequent applications, while others might not need it as often.

    Selection

    Choosing the right olive oil

    Opt for extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) when it comes to hair care. Why? Because it's the least processed, meaning it keeps all those essential vitamins and antioxidants that are super good for your skin and hair.

    EVOO is like food and armor for your hair! It's great for boosting your scalp and hair health, thanks to all the nourishing goodies it's packed with.
