Have Healthy Oils in Your Kitchen & Bath? Prevent Hair Loss & Grow Your Hair. Pt. 3

Extra-Virgin Virgin Olive Oil Improves Hair Health

Being rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, olive oil nourishes the hair. It is a natural conditioner and great for healthy hair shine. The emollient contained within olive oil improves hair strength, thus enabling it to grow by, stopping hair fall and breakage.  Hair elasticity also increases. An olive oil scalp massage is a wonderful stress reducer.

Why Extra-Virgin or Virgin Olive Oil for Hair?

Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) comes from virgin oil production only, contains no more than 0.8% acidity (smell is not as pungent).  Virgin olive oil comes from virgin oil production only, has an acidity less than 2. This differs from Pure olive oil.
Oils labeled as Pure olive oil or Olive oil are usually a blend of refined and virgin production oil. Per Wikipedia: “Over 50% of the oil produced in the Mediterranean area is of such poor quality that it must be refined … Note that no solvents have been used to extract the oil, but it has been refined with the use of charcoal and other chemical and physical filters.”
…and now you know why it’s best to use Extra-Virgin or Virgin Olive Oil for hair care.
Other Hair Healthy Oils include: Virgin Coconut Oil, Cold-Pressed Castor Oil & Flaxseed Oil.
Did you know that natural herbal oils you’ve probably already use for skin care are known to help strengthen, regrow hair and to eliminate dandruff. They’re easy to apply, and when used along with the natural botanical powders at Saba Botanical of USA, might make a difference in your rate of hair growth in just a few short months.

3.     Wet hair again and apply prepared Lustrous Henna® Dry Shampoo Powder paste* to hair with fingertips (a small rubber spatula can aid in application, but not necessary). Making the shampoo paste takes about 30 seconds. Press and lightly massage throughout hair. (follow-up gently-using a large-tooth comb for full coverage). Leave on for 5 minutes, and then rinse out until hair is completely free of shampoo.

4.     There is no need to follow up with a conditioner if you have fine to normal hair. However, if you insist on using a conditioner use Imbue™ Nuturing Conditioner. If you have extremely dry, course or damaged hair, use So Natural™ Moisture Gloss Conditioner from Saba Botanical of USA.
