Is olive oil a good hair mask for repairing damaged hair?

My hair is dry from dying it and heat styling it. Is this a good way to repair it?Is olive oil a good hair mask for repairing damaged hair?
About a month ago I had extremely dry and damaged hair so I understand where you're coming from. I tried a lot of different masks, including olive oil, but I've found that the one single thing that has brought back moisture to my hair was to avoid shampooing it for 2-3 days at a time. This will allow your natural oils to build up and you can then use a boar bristle brush to brush the oils down to the tips of your hair, coating the strands in beneficial oil. Also, when you do shampoo, use just a nickel to quarter-sized amount of shampoo and only shampoo the roots. Deep conditioning masks only mimic a smooth surface on the hair by just coating it. This doesn't always last and quite frankly there isn't much you can do about the damage now but to keep your hair moisturized. So avoid shampooing for a while and invest in a boar bristle brush. My hair got back to normal after about 3 weeks of just washing it every 3 days.





Side note: your hair will feel greasy at first but give it some time. Your scalp will adjust and lower the amount of oil that it creates. You'll then have to use less and less shampoo as time goes by.





Good luck :)Is olive oil a good hair mask for repairing damaged hair?
Buy a hydrator or reconstructor from a salon. $20-$25 a bottle. They work i swear to you! Don't waste time and money on conditioners from no name stores. I recommend Joico's K-PAK. Joico makes both a hydrator and a reconstructor. The hydrator is a 3-5 minute leave in and rinse that restores moisture stripped from heat and the reconstructor has 19 amino acids(the foundations of hair) that your hair needs to grow. Good luck.
My mom likes to put mayonnaiseand raw eggs together and put it in my hair, i guess it gives it a lot of protein wich is really good for your hair! but only leave it in for about 5-10 minutes or it could seriously damage it even more! but after that it's really shiny and soft! do like every 3 days or so!
You can't completely reverse this type of damage, but you can start taking better care of it (and this includes staying away from dying or heat styling as much as possible).





Olive oil can improve texture by restoring moisture, but it's really hard to wash out.
uses 1 egg white


1 tablespoon of olive oil


and 1 avacado


it will make your hair super shiny plus it does help with damage
