It is yes but if your hair gets greasy easily it can make it worse. I used to use a Toni & Guy shampoo that had olive oil in and it made my hair look lovely but it would get greasy so quickly.

Some how my hair had gradually lost shine, & started looking very dull & limp no matter what I would do. Then I tried olive oil too & started noticing a big improvement from the very first time I used it (a night before washing my hair). My hair was definitely more smooth & shiny than it was before & it also seems much more healthier & more manageable. I am definitely going to keep using it.
p.s. I have very oily hair & I only washing it once every 3 days, it's not making my hair any oiler than it was before.

That's interesting Payel! My hair is so oily that if I'm going to be out of the house I gave to wash my hair everyday which I hate and I know is not good for your hair. Sometimes I can get away with dry shampoo but I don't really like the way it feels.

Your hair gets greasy because you wash it too much! I used to have to have two showers a day. After I had my son I made sure I only washed it twice a week (I'd still shower but with a cap on). I did that for 3 months and my hair won't get greasy for 4 days. I still only wash it twice a week.

Recently I have spent a lot of time at home and I have only been washing my hair 2 times a week and there has been no improvement. It still gets really greasy, really quickly! In general I have oily skin so I think it's just how I am unfortunately :(

Olive il does work wonders for your hair if your worried about it looking damaged/dry. If your worried about your hair becoming too oily, I would apply it on dry hair but only on the ends. Leave it for about 20 mins (just clip it up out of the way) and wash it out really well with shampoo. Do not apply it to your roots if you have oily hair, but the ends should be ok.

@ Amy - I used to wash my hair on alternate day before but then as Avery pointed out, I heard that washing it often would only worsen the condition as it's said that your hair produces more oil. So I decided to reduce the frequency of my washes. At first it really was difficult but with time it got better. Now I can easily manage without a wash for 3 days. & oh! my skin is super oily too lol!

I remember when i was a little girl, i would watch my mom get ready for her day. I'd watch her do her makeup and her hair. And one day i noticed that she added olive oil into her conditioner before jumping into the shower to wash her hair. I asked her what it did to her and and she always told me it conditioned her hair well and help with the dry and dullness . And believe me ladies this stuff works wonders . Try it :)

I don't know then! Maybe it's just me because my hair is as oily as ever!
