Nonna Knows Best - Olive Oil Hair Mask

As the summer comes to a close, it’s time that we gave our hair a little TLC after the sun and sea or pool damage. 

Olive oil hair masks have been used for thousands of years and are generally hailed for their moisturizing effect 💦 Other benefits can include shinier and softer hair, and reduced damage. They tend to work better on thicker hair, so use sparingly on fine and/ or oily hair.

You will need to start off by getting hold of a good quality extra virgin olive oil. Depending on the length and thickness or your hair, 2 tablespoons should be enough, but adapt as needed. If you want, you can warm it a little in a microwave or by placing the bowl it is in in another of warm water. If you do this, PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK THE TEMPERATURE ‼️ 

Make sure that you are wearing an old T-shirt or have a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothes. We recommend using a spray applicator bottle, that you can find in most beauty stores or pharmacies.

Apply in sections, working from the top to the bottom. If you have oily roots though, start further down. Once it is fully applied, wrap your hair up in a towel and leave in for 15 minutes to an hour. Brush it out then wash and condition!
